Auxiliary equipment and method for assisting usage of eyedropper

A method for assisting usage of an eyedropper, the method comprising:

• providing an auxiliary equipment comprising an image capturing unit, a power switch, a first indicator lamp, and a second indicator lamp;
• sampling a current image captured by the image capturing unit when the power switch is turn on;
• detecting one or more eyes in the current image using an eye detection method, and determining one or more rectangular areas enclosing the one or more eyes;
• determining one or more first specified ranges according to positions of the one or more rectangular areas, the first specified ranges being determined to be proper areas of the eyes for dropping eye drops from the eyedropper;
• comparing a position of each of the first specified ranges with a position of a second specified range of a tip of the eyedropper;
• determining whether the second specified range is overlapping with one of the first specified ranges;
• activating the first indicator lamp when all of the first specified ranges are not overlapping with the second specified range;
• and
• activating the second indicator lamp when one of the first specified ranges is overlapping with the second specified range.

A non-transitory storage medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by a processor of an auxiliary equipment, causes the auxiliary equipment to perform a method for assisting usage of an eyedropper using the auxiliary equipment, the method comprising:

• sampling a current image captured by an image capturing unit of the auxiliary equipment when a power switch of the auxiliary equipment is turn on;
• detecting one or more eyes in the current image using an eye detection method, and determining one or more rectangular areas enclosing the one or more eyes;
• determining one or more first specified ranges according to positions of the one or more rectangular areas, the first specified ranges being determined to be proper areas of the eyes for dropping eye drops from the eyedropper;
• comparing a position of each of the first specified ranges with a position of a second specified range of a tip of the eyedropper;
• determining whether the second specified range is overlapping with one of the first specified ranges;
• activating a first indicator lamp of the auxiliary equipment when all of the first specified ranges are not overlapping with the second specified range;
• and
• activating a second indicator lamp of the auxiliary equipment when one of the first specified ranges is overlapping with the second specified range.
