  • Patent number: 9269257
    Abstract: The method and system for reminding readers of fatigue in reading while using electronic devices are revealed. First use a reading speed calculation module to detect user's reading speed within a period of time when the user is using an electronic with a display to read. The reading speed is related to pages being turned or the amount of words being read. Then a fatigue-in-reading reminder module is activated by the reading speed calculation module when the user's reading speed falls within a specific range so as to remind the user by pop-up windows, sounds, flash light or vibration at the proper time and provide the user certain corresponding measures he/she should take. Thereby there is no need to use additional equipment for preventing users from becoming more fatigue and healthy vision is accomplished at lower cost with higher efficiency.
