3-3: Method of measuring visual acuity First, the visual acuity measuring device 103 in the counter booth 1
An outline of a method for measuring the visual acuity performed by the naked eye will be described. The user closes one eye with his / her hand and looks at the naked eye visual acuity measurement screen (FIG. 22) with one eye. The naked eye visual acuity measurement screen (Fig. 22)
Shows a point to be watched with one eye. The user fixes his or her neck and measures the naked eye visual acuity (Fig. 22).
Constant distance from For example, put your neck on the palm of your hand to secure your face and your elbows on the desk. The Landolt ring 1.0 of the visual acuity chart is represented by a point “x” on the screen by the visual acuity measuring device 103. The visual acuity measuring device 103 determines the distance from the naked eye visual acuity measurement screen (FIG. 22) and displays a visual acuity table having a size corresponding to a visual acuity of 1.0. One eye looks at the Landolt's ring of the eyesight chart (FIG. 23). The visual acuity measuring device 103 asks the touch panel 107 by voice or voice message on the touch panel 107 a message "Do you see a vacant ring?" If it can be seen, the user touches “YES” on the touch panel 107 (answers by voice). Further, the eyesight measuring device 10
3 transmits the inquiry screen to the touch panel 107, continues to ask the question "Where is free" on the inquiry screen of the touch panel 107, and changes the direction in which the Landolt ring is available to "up,
The user is allowed to select from eight directions of “down, left, right, upper left, lower left, lower left, upper right, lower right”, and touch the button on the touch panel 107 (answer by voice). If the directions match, a visual acuity table of degree 1.2 is displayed, and the same procedure is repeated. If not visible or if the direction of vacancy is wrong, a visual acuity table lower than the visual acuity before the visual acuity measuring device 103 is displayed on the touch panel 107, and the same procedure is repeated. The visual acuity measuring device 103 determines the correct frequency immediately before the visual acuity in which the error has continued twice as naked eye acuity. Then do the same for the other eye.

Next, a method of measuring the corrected visual acuity performed by the visual acuity measuring device 103 in the counter booth 1 will be described. The visual acuity measuring device 103 inputs the next naked-eye visual acuity data. As the naked eye acuity data, there is the previous eye acuity data managed by the ophthalmologist's prescription data glasses processing center 1002 measured by the procedure of the above-mentioned “method of measuring the naked eye acuity”. The glasses processing center 1002, based on the input naked eye visual acuity data, corrects the visual acuity measurement data using a lens such that the corrected visual acuity is 1.2 for each eye,
The information is transmitted to the user terminal 101 of the counter booth 1 and displayed on the visual acuity measuring device 103. That is, the “Landolt ring that is likely to be seen” is displayed on the corrected vision measurement screen of the vision measurement device 103. The visual acuity measuring device 103 measures the appearance of about 1.2 degrees by looking at the Landolt ring displayed on the screen of the visual acuity measuring device 103 with the naked eye with one eye closed. If you can see well, touch the check button “look good” on the touch panel 107, and
In 3, the frequency is determined as the corrected visual acuity. If the user cannot see the image, the user touches the check button “Invisible” on the touch panel 107.
In 03, it is determined that astigmatism has occurred, and the process proceeds to a step of performing an astigmatism inspection.

The astigmatism inspection step is performed by the visual acuity measuring device 10.
3, a visual acuity table showing four Landolt rings with the mouth open immediately above, right below, 90 degrees to the left, and 90 degrees to the right 90 degrees is displayed, and the user can use the Landolt ring on the vision correction screen after correction. Based on the appearance, it is possible to determine the astigmatism and the axis of the astigmatism. The frequency determination points at the time of astigmatism measurement are as follows. By slowly rotating the Landolt ring, it is checked whether or not there is a position where a break in the Landolt ring is connected. If there is a connected position, an instruction is given at that time with the joystick 103b on the post-correction visual acuity measurement screen. The axis of astigmatism (AXIS) is specified by the visual acuity measuring device 103 based on the designated position. The same test is performed several times, and if there is a variation, the visual acuity measuring device 103 displays the corrected visual acuity measurement screen to which the spherical power (SPH) is added, and performs the same test again. If the break is not connected, the visual acuity measuring device 103 determines that there is no astigmatism in the visual acuity measuring device 103 by touching the check button “not connected” on the corrected visual acuity measuring screen of the touch panel 107. Further, the visual acuity measuring device 103 displays a radial index image, and the visual acuity measuring device 103 determines the position of the darkest line and the lightest line on the corrected visual acuity measurement screen, and instructs the position with the joystick 103b. Thus, the visual acuity measuring apparatus 103 specifies the axis of astigmatism (AXIS). If astigmatism has been identified, a visual acuity table showing a Landolt's ring after correcting the astigmatism is displayed on the screen, and the appearance is checked.

When the correction can be made to the degree of 1.2, it is determined that the corrected visual acuity is obtained. Corrected eyesight is described as "I want to correct exactly = 1.
"2", "I want to loosen = 0.8", and "Normal = 1.0" are set so that they can be selected. For those who wish to use for both distance and near, both distance and near can be measured.

For a person who wishes to use pre-existing reading glasses, the presbyopia power which can be judged from the age can be determined. The power determination system at the time of measuring presbyopia is as follows. The user terminal 101 of the counter booth 1 uses the questionnaire screen of the touch panel 107 transmitted from the glasses processing center 1002 to the user terminal 101 of the counter booth 1 to display the age, occupation, use of glasses, hobbies, sports, presence of illness, etc. Enter The frequency under the above conditions is determined in advance based on the user database of the glasses processing center 1002. The addition power is determined by linking.

Thus, in the case of myopia, the degree of myopia,
Data on the relationship between the degree of myopia and visual acuity and the type (frequency) of myopia are extracted from the myopia information database and displayed. In the case of hyperopia, the degree of hyperopia and the type (frequency) of hyperopia are extracted from the hyperopia information database and displayed. In the case of astigmatism, it is extracted from the astigmatism information database based on the degree of astigmatism, the relationship between the Landolt's ring and the frequency, and the relationship between the axes of astigmatism, and displayed.

The visual acuity measurement result of the visual acuity measuring device 103 is transmitted to the touch panel 107, for example, as shown in FIG. DIST represents distance power, and READ represents near power. SPH represents spherical power, CYL represents astigmatic power, AXIS represents an axis,
P. D. Represents the distance from the center of the right eye to the center of the left eye. That is, it represents the distance between pupils. Note that both the distance power and the near power are represented for the right eye (R) and the left eye (L).

According to the remote visual acuity measuring system and method, any person can remotely measure naked eye visual acuity or corrected visual acuity via the Internet.

In this remote visual acuity measuring system, the eyeglass processing center 1002 may be integrated with the eyeglass processing center 2 to perform processing intensively by using means having the same function. The glasses processing center 2 and the glasses processing center 2 may be configured to perform processing in a distributed manner by a plurality of computers, servers, and the like.

Next, a method for allowing the user to wear various glasses using the above-described virtual experience system for wearing glasses will be described below. First, from the user terminal 101 of the counter booth 1 to the glasses processing center 2002
When the connection is made, an ID code input screen as a user authentication screen is transmitted. The user authentication screen is a screen for prompting input of user authentication information.

The user terminal 101 of the counter booth 1 receives and displays a user authentication screen, inputs user authentication information, and transmits the information to the glasses processing center 2002. The user authentication information is information such as a password and a user ID.

In the glasses processing center 2002, the user authentication information is received, and based on this, the storage management means 2005 and the user information registration means 2003 search the user information database for authentication. At this time, if the user is a first-time user, a screen for inputting basic attributes is further displayed.
The information is transmitted from the glasses processing center 2002 to the user terminal 101 of the counter booth 1. In the user terminal 101 of the counter booth 1, based on the screen transmitted from the glasses processing center 2002, the attributes of the user, for example, basic attributes such as name, address, date of birth, and telephone number are input.

In the glasses processing center 2002, the basic attribute information of the user is received, and based on this, the user information database is created by the storage means 5 and the user information registration means 2003. And so on.

Then, in the glasses processing center 2002,
A frame selection reference screen for inputting a frame selection reference is transmitted to the user terminal 101 of the counter booth 1. The frame selection criterion input screen is a screen for inputting criteria (fashion, budget, function, fit to face, etc.) for the user to select a frame. The user
On the frame selection reference input screen of the user terminal 101 of the counter booth 1, frame selection criteria such as fashion, budget, function, and fit to the face are input.

Further, after the input of the frame selection criterion based on the text data is completed, a screen prompting the transmission of the face image of the user is transmitted from the glasses processing center 2002 to the user terminal 101 of the counter booth 1. The user
The front and side (both left and right) face images are taken into the user terminal 101 of the counter booth 1 by an image input device, for example, a digital camera or a scanner. Then, the front and side face images of the user are transmitted from the user terminal 101 of the counter booth 1 to the glasses processing center 2002 via the Internet.

At the glasses processing center 2002, the frame selection information input means 2004 receives the text data and image data (image of the user's face) of the frame selection reference sent from the user terminal 101 of the counter booth 1 and stores them. Register and manage by means 2005. Based on the user's side image (FIG. 30), the distance (L ₁ ) from the user's ear to the corneal apex is separately measured for the left and right sides, and the data is registered and managed by the storage unit 2005. Based on the measured values, the bending positions of the temple (vine) are determined separately for the left and right sides and registered. Based on the side image of the user, the distance (L ₂ ) between the corneal vertex and the nose of the user's eye is measured, and a value obtained by averaging the left and right is registered by the storage unit 2005 and managed. I do. L ₂ is usually 12mm. By the frame selection information input means 2004, based on the measured values,
The opening angle of the nose clings (nose pad) is determined and registered. Based on the front image of the user (FIG. 31), the width (L ₃ ) to the ear is measured separately for the left and right with the center between the pupils of the left and right eyes as the base point, and the data is registered by the storage means 2005. And manage. Frame selection information input means 200
According to 4, the opening angle θ of the temple is determined separately for the left and right sides based on the measured values and registered. First, the interpupillary distance (PD) is determined for the width from the center between the pupils of the left and right eyes to the ear. However, in the glasses processing center 2002, since the pupil cannot be clearly detected in the face image of the user, for example, the distance (PD ₁ ) between the left side of the left eye and the left side of the right eye
To obtain an approximate value of (PD). Next, the distance (L ₄ ) between the pupil of the eye and the ear is also determined from the pupil, since the pupil cannot be detected in the face image, so that the distance (La) from the left ear to the right side of the eye and the distance from the left ear to the left side distance seek (Lb), obtains the operation on the distance to the pupil and ear of the eye (L _4). The right eye side can be obtained in the same manner. The opening angle θ of the right temple and the left temple of the glasses frame is adjusted by correcting the portion obtained by the following equation and bending it. _{PD / 2 + L 4 -L 5} L 5 is Meganefure - a beam front size (see FIG. 32). When a bifocal lens is designated, the angle of opening of the nose clings is corrected by the added numerical value, determined and registered in order to add an additional 5 degrees to the inclination angle of the lens surface.

As described above, in the glasses processing center 2002, the central processing unit / frame selection information input means 2
In step 004, the functional structure data, the decorative structure data, and the face image data are calculated and created, and stored together with the face image data by the storage unit 2005.

And the frame image registration unit 2061 uses the frame function structure, the frame decoration structure, and the frame image of each frame registered by the storage unit 2005 to output the function structure data based on the frame selection criteria transmitted from the user terminal 101 of the counter booth 1. And a frame suitable for the decoration structure data and the face image data.

After generating or selecting a frame image for displaying different types of spectacle frames by the frame selecting unit 2008, the image processing unit 2007 of the spectacles processing center 2002 uses the frame image of the frame suitable for the face image of the user. An eyeglass wearing image is generated by combining the face image of the user. Then, the image of wearing glasses, in which the frame image is combined with the image of the user's face generated by the image processing means 2007, is output to the counter booth 1 via the Internet by the output means 2009 / WWW server.
Is transmitted to the user terminal 101.

The user who sees the image transmitted to the user terminal 101 of the counter booth 1 determines whether a frame matching his / her desire has been selected, and what kind of face will be displayed when the frame is applied to the face. Can be confirmed by the glasses wearing screen. If an image different from the frame desired by the user has been transmitted, or if the user wants to see a face with a different frame, the user is further notified to that effect by the glasses wearing center 2002 sent from the glasses processing center 2002. Fill in the screen and enter the glasses processing center 20
02. In the glasses processing center 2002, another frame is selected in the same manner as described above, and the W
The screen for wearing glasses is transmitted from the WW server via the Internet.

According to the virtual experience system for wearing glasses and the method thereof, the user can wear various glasses frames on the photograph data. You can change the glasses frame and select the most suitable frame for your taste. Moreover,
The state of wearing a spectacle frame on one's face cannot usually be seen by a third party, but according to this system and method, one can keep his or her ready-made glasses or contact lenses on, that is, with proper vision. Since the selected spectacle frame can be selected with the selected spectacle frame being put on the face, the most suitable spectacle frame can be selected.

The glasses processing centers 1002 and 200
