Head-Mounted Electronic Sleep Mask Device with Eye-Responsive Output

Abstract

A head-mounted electronic sleep mask device is disclosed that detects eye position and movement of a user's closed eyes and generates responsive output based on the detected eye activity. The device includes a mask portion configured to occlude vision, an eye-tracker sensor comprising one or more emitters configured to emit electromagnetic radiation toward a closed eyelid and one or more photodetectors configured to receive reflected radiation, and a processor in electronic communication with the eye-tracker sensor. The processor analyzes spatial and intensity variations in reflected electromagnetic radiation to generate spatial intensity patterns correlated with eye position beneath the eyelid. Based on the detected eye position or movement, the processor outputs operational commands to control one or more components of the device, including generating audio through one or more speakers or communicating with external devices. The system enables closed-eye, non-visual interaction for sleep assistance and adaptive audio-based experiences.
