Definitions
- This invention relates to spectacles used in monitoring eye and eyelid movement.
- USA patent 6097295 discloses a system of image analysis based on eye pupil size.
- USA patent 6147612 discloses a system of preventing sleep which detects eyelid movement and actuates an alarm when the eyelid movement is indicative of drowsiness.
- USA patent 6346887 uses a video based eye tracking system which tracks eye activity and pupil diameter and position to produce a signal representing eye activity that can be used to estimate alertness.
- WO 03/039358 disclosed an alertness monitor that used infra red light to measure the amplitude and velocity of eyelid and eye movements to derive a measure of alertness on a scale that can be related to the scale of blood alcohol levels. This monitor sought to provide a real time alertness monitor that can provide a calibrated measure of the operator's alertness. The quality of the signals received from the light reflected off the eye and eyelid depends in part on the orientation of the emitters and detectors.
- Adjustable frames for spectacles are known but generally are adjustable to accommodate the distance between the pupils and the distance between the mid point of the eyes and the bridge of the nose.
- USA patent 5583586 provides a support system for spectacles which spaces the frame from the cheek bones and brow of the wearer.
- Testing apparatus for examining eyes usually include fittings adjustable in several directions.
- USA 4448501 discloses trial spectacles with means to vary the lens positions.
- USA 5499063 discloses an adjustable nose bridge and means to move the lenses.
- EP 567817 discloses trial frames which allow adjustment in the plane parallel to the face and also away from the face.
- USA patent 4730898 provides a stereoscopic viewer with frames that allow the device to be adjustable in length relative to the ears.
- USA patent 5971538 discloses a head mounted virtual reality display with an articulated nose bridge that allows the position of the display relative to the eyes to be adjustable.
- the present invention provides a spectacle frame for use in an eye monitoring system which includes a) a nose bridge connecting a pair of ocular frames b) a sensor unit adjustably attached to said nose bridge said sensor unit incorporating a signal emitter and a signal detector recessed into the surface of the unit to reduce the proportion of signal received by said detector which is not from the signal emitter reflected by the eye or eyelids c) said nose bridge incorporating an adjustment mechanism for adjusting the vertical position of said sensor unit relative to the eye d) a frame arm extending from the outer edge of each ocular frame adapted to fit over the ear of a wearer wherein one of said frame arms incorporates a microprocessor for controlling the sensor unit.
- This invention is partly predicated on the discovery that the collection of reflected signals from the eye and eyelids depends on the vertical and horizontal spacing of the emitter and detector from the eye as well as the arrangement of the emitter and detector relative to one another.
- the spectacles are preferably designed to be worn by vehicle drivers or machinery operators to measure their level of alertness or fatigue.
- the spectacles contain one or more clusters of transducers called the sensor unit.
- the sensor unit is designed into the spectacles and positioned so the sensor signal is reflected from the driver's eyes.
- the signal emitters may be LED's or the terminal ends of optical fibres connected to a light source such as an LED.
- the preferred signal is light in the infra red wavelength region but any signal reflected from the eyelid or eye such as ultrasound or another electromagnetic frequency band may be used.
- EMD eye movement data
- the noses bridge needs to be adjustable both vertically and horizontally from the eye and this is achieved by adjusting the position of the bridge along the nose and then adjusting the height relative to the nose. This may be achieved by using a support for the bridge which is sized to suit the varying nose and eye positions in the various facial types. In addition fine adjustments can be made to the sensor arm to adjust the sensor position relative to the nose bridge.
- the ocular frames secured to the nose bridge may contain prescribed optical lenses or sun protection lenses which can be elevated out of the line of sight without having to remove the spectacle frames so that the sensor position is not disturbed while the spectacle frame is in use.
- this invention provides a spectacle frame for use in an eye monitoring system which includes a) a pair of ocular frames at least one of which carries a sensor unit adapted to be positioned adjacent an eye of the wearer b) a nose bridge connecting said ocular frames and incorporating an adjustment mechanism for adjusting the vertical position of said sensor unit relative to the eye c) a frame arm extending from the outer edge of each ocular frame adapted to fit over the ear of a wearer said frame arm being pivotally connected to said ocular member by a hinge that is adjustable d) said sensor unit incorporating a light (preferably infra red ) emitter and a light (preferably infra red ) detector recessed into the surface of the unit to reduce the proportion of signal received by said detector which is not from the signal emitter reflected by the eye or eyelids.
- the electronics unit which controls the emitters and collects the data from the sensor may be located in the arm of the spectacle frame. This may be connected by cable or wirelessly to a more complex processor and data recording and display unit. Alternatively the processing may be carried out in a processor located on the frame and the display may be an audible signal or voice indicating the wearers fatigue state. This display unit may be a black box type recording unit but may also display the wearer's state of alertness as described in WO 03/039358.
- the frames of this invention are modified conventional spectacle frames and can incorporate optical lenses to compensate for visual impairment and may incorporate solar lenses for use in situations where conventional sunglasses are useful. They may also be used without any lenses.

- QOS quality of signal
- Adjust tilt of arm by bending at hinge point (see figure 1 , D) a. Adjustment of arms to provide stable latching mechanism to the users head and comfort (As per standard optometrist fitting procedures)
- the frame provides a stable platform for maintaining a fixed static position for the sensor assembly in the correct location relative to the eye (see figure 1).
- the frame carries 'the following key features for good QOS from the largest portion of the population:
- the nose piece sits in the centre of the frame (see figure 5 A) and provides one of the key fitment metrics. This is achieved through a fixed adjustable range provided by a series of holes on the adjustment plate with screws holding nose piece securely in position (see figure 1 , B).
- the holes A allow adjustable, fixed positions for the adjustable metal nose pad arms B
- Nose bridge location on frame is shown in figure 4 in which A is a slot for nose piece to provide adjustment in the Y axis.
- the nose bridge provides key fitment metrics to obtain good QOS from a user: 1. Adjustment of sensor assembly relative to eye up/down by sliding the plate up and down (see figure 5, A)
- the sensor assembly is a plastic assembly which encapsulates the sensor S and emitters E in cavities within the frame with the following key features:
- the emitters are arranged at 2 angles to cover largest portion of population
- the emitters provide pulses of invisible IR light (wavelength 940 nm) from an LED positioned about 13 +/-3 mm below and 12 +/- 3 mm in front of the eye, housed in a frame that could also hold prescription lenses or sunglasses, if needed (Fig 1).
- the IR pulses are brief ( ⁇ 100 microsec) and repeated at a frequency of 500 Hz. They are directed up in a 30 degree beam centered on the lower edge of the upper eyelid. The total IR light reflected back from the eye and eyelids is detected by the matched phototransistor beside the LED.
- the frame consists of ear stems 11 and 12. These may be of the wrap around type to maintain a stable position on the wearers head. An elastic strap may also be used to secure the frame to the head.
- the ear stem .12 incorporates an electronics module 13 which includes a microprocessor connected by a cable 29 to the sensor pad 26 shown in detail in figure 14.
- the ocular frame 14 incorporates a central nose bridge 15.
- the lenses are secured to lens attachment unit 16.
- the lenses may be of any type including prescribed lenses or sun protection lenses and may be clear or tinted as shown in figure s 9A and B.
- the unit 16 incorporates pivot pins 17 cooperating with pin recesses17A that enable the lenses to be flipped up as shown in figure 10.
- the pins are shaped to provide two stable positions namely parallel to the face and at right angles to the face when flipped up.
- a nose adjustment piece 30 is attached to the unit 16.
- the attachment piece 30 comes in a range of incrementally changing sizes to suit a range of facial and nose types.
- the sensor arm 20 has attachment portion 22 at one end which is secured to the unit 16 by screw 19 and the sensor pod 24 at its other end.
- the slot 18 in unit 16 provides a number of vertical positions for the sensor arm attachment so that the position of the sensor pod 24 can be adjusted relative to the eye.
- the sensor pad 26 is fitted to the pod 24 so that the sensors are resiliently mounted in the pod.
- the sensor pad consists of the emitters 27 and the receiver/detector 28. Each emitter 27 and detector 28 is individually mounted on a resilient finger.
- the sensor pod 24 may be rotated through 10° of arc to further adjust the sensors relative to the eye.
- the sensor pod 24 or sensor arm 20 may be of variable length to suit a range of eye widths.
- FIG. 17 illustrates a base nose support 30 while figure 18 illustrates a nose support with an incremental vertical adjustment 31.
- Figure 19 illustrates the nose piece with an incremental horizontal adjustment 32 to place the frame further away from the face.
- a microprocessor 13 housed in the arm 12 of the glasses controls the timing, duration and intensity of IR pulses, and digitizes the analogue output from the sensor (0 to 3.3 volts).
- the digital output from the glasses is sent via a light cable either to a bench-top processing unit for laboratory experiments, or to a unit installed in a vehicle for use while driving.
- the digitized output from the phototransistor represents the amount of IR light reflected back from the eye and eyelids. This is influenced by several factors, such as the shape and reflectance of the reflecting surface (highly pigmented skin reflects less than white skin).
- the surface of the cornea is approximately spherical and about 10 mm in diameter. As it rotates with eye movements, the angle of the reflecting surface of the eye changes in relation to the sensor. However, the major factor affecting the amount of reflected light that is measured is the distance between the reflecting surface and the sensor. This changes with corneal movement in any direction, and also with eyelid closure.
- the technician selects an appropriate nose piece 30 and the adjusts the sensor arm 20 until an optimum signal is received.
- this invention provides a practical and convenient spectacle frame for collecting eye movement data.
- the spectacle frames may be arranged in other embodiments apart from those described without departing from the core teachings of this invention.
