In addition, the ventilation therapy equipment 14 can also comprise a processor (not shown) for adjusting the running of the ventilation therapy equipment according to the eye movement data. The ventilation therapy equipment 14 can be preset with rules such as user eye closure, blinking, eye movement to the left several times and movement to the right several times for different operational adjustments. The following description is based on a sleep mode and a wake-up mode when the ventilation therapy equipment 14 is in operation:

    • when no eye movement data (user eye closure) is detected within a first period of time (for example, 1 minute), the processor can control the ventilation therapy equipment 14 to enter the sleep mode in which the brightness of illumination sources in the acquisition units 1 and 5 can be weakened, the display units 17 and 18 are switched off or the brightness of the display units 17 and 18 is weakened, but the acquisition units 1 and 5 still keep acquiring the eye movement data so as to be convenient for the user to wake up the ventilation therapy equipment 14. In addition, in the present invention, the condition for triggering the ventilation therapy equipment 14 to enter the sleep mode is not limited to the no detection of the eye movement data, but can also be other actions performed by the eyes of the user according to a preset rule.


When the eye movement data indicates that the user blinks eyes for a preset number of times (for example, five times) within a second period of time (for example, within four seconds) (or when the eyes of the user perform other actions according to a preset rule), the processor controls the ventilation therapy equipment 14 to be waken up, restore the brightness of the illumination sources in the acquisition units 1 and 5, switch on the display units 17 and 18 or restore the brightness of the display units 17 and 18, and the ventilation therapy equipment 14 is brought into the wake-up mode for normal operation. In addition, in the present invention, the condition for triggering the ventilation therapy equipment 14 to enter the wake-up mode is not limited to blinking for a preset number of times in the second period of time, but can also be other actions performed by the eyes of the user according to a preset rule.


When the eyeballs of the user move to the left several times within a third period of time (for example, three times, or perform other actions, depending on a preset rule), the ventilation therapy equipment 14 shifts down; and when the eyeballs of the user move to the right several times within the third period of time (for example, three times, or perform other actions, depending on the preset rule), the ventilation therapy equipment 14 shifts up.


When the mask comprises the display units 17 and 18, the processor is further used for: controlling the display units 17 and 18 to display to-be-executed operation information of the ventilation therapy equipment; and determining the positions, at which the user looks directly with eyes, of the display units 17 and 18 according to the eye movement data. When the user looks at different positions of the display units 17 and 18 with eyeballs, the positions of the reflected light are also different. The acquisition units 1 and 5 can acquire the positions of the light reflected by the eyeballs, and the processor can determine the positions, at which the user looks directly with eyes, of the display units 17 and 18, so that follow-up operations can be carried out in conjunction with the content displayed by the display units 17 and 18.


In order to make the determination of the positions, at which the user looks directly, of the display units 17 and 18 accurate, the processor can also record eye movement calibration data when the user looks directly at a plurality of fixed positions of the display units 17 and 18 with eyes; the ventilation therapy equipment 14 also comprises a memory for storing the eye movement calibration data. The processor is further used for calibrating the determined positions, at which the user looks directly with eyes, of the display units 17 and 18 according to the eye movement calibration data. The specific method is as follows:
