| 20080218684 | Eyeglasses with RFID tags - A pair of glasses includes a clock that is at least partially embedded in the glasses. The clock can be in one of the temples of the glasses. In one implementation, the clock can be positioned at a region close to a hinge of the corresponding temple, with the clock facing inward towards the user. The clock can also be in a temple arrangement. Instead of or in addition to a clock, other types of electrical components can be at least partially embedded into a pair of glasses or a temple arrangement of a pair of glasses. For example, the other electrical components can pertain to a RFID tag, a temperature sensor or an eyewear finder. | 09-11-2008 |
| 20080278678 | Eyeglasses with user monitoring - In one embodiment, eyewear having user monitoring capabilities is disclosed. In one example, the user monitoring can pertain to activity monitoring. In another example, the user monitoring can pertain to physical or emotional characteristics monitoring of a user. The measured activity/characteristics can then be used in providing related information to a user of the eyewear. Advantageously, the user of the eyewear is able to easily monitor their activity/characteristics. | 11-13-2008 |
| 20090059159 | EYEWEAR WITH RADIATION DETECTION SYSTEM - Eyewear having radiation monitoring capability is disclosed. Radiation, such as ultraviolet (UV) radiation, infrared (IR) radiation or light, can be measured by a detector. The measured radiation can then be used in providing radiation-related information to a user of the eyewear. Advantageously, the user of the eyewear is able to easily monitor their exposure to radiation. | 03-05-2009 |
| 20090120812 | SYSTEM FOR SELECTING EYEGLASSES - In one embodiment of the present invention a system is provided for allowing a consumer to easily match a suitable pair of primary eyeglasses with a suitable pair of auxiliary eyeglasses. In one example (which example is intended to be illustrative and not restrictive), the suitable pair of primary eyeglasses may be matched with the suitable pair of auxiliary eyeglasses without damaging or opening the package which contains the pair of auxiliary eyeglasses. In another example (which example is intended to be illustrative and not restrictive), the system may comprise a package and/or a displayer. | 05-14-2009 |
| 20090141233 | Eyewear with monitoring capability - In one embodiment, eyewear having a monitoring capability, such as an activity monitoring capability, is disclosed. Activity, such as motion, steps or distance, can be measured by an activity detector. The measured activity can then be used in providing activity-related information to a user of the eyewear. Advantageously, the user of the eyewear is able to easily monitor their degree of activity. | 06-04-2009 |
| 20090147215 | Eyewear with radiation detection system - Eyewear having radiation monitoring capability is disclosed. Radiation, such as ultraviolet (UV) radiation, infrared (IR) radiation or light, can be measured by a detector. The measured radiation can then be used in providing radiation-related information to a user of the eyewear. Advantageously, the user of the eyewear is able to easily monitor their exposure to radiation. | 06-11-2009 |
| 20090296044 | Eyewear supporting electrical components and apparatus therefor - Techniques for providing eyewear with electrical components are disclosed. The electrical components can provide electrical technology to eyewear without having to substantially compromise aesthetic design principles of the eyewear. The electrical components can be partially or completely internal to eyewear. The electrical components can also be attached to the eyewear as an after-market enhancement. The electrical components can operate independently or together with other electrical components provided elsewhere. Apparatus for presenting after-market electrical components are also disclosed. | 12-03-2009 |
| 20100170809 | SYSTEM FOR SELECTING EYEGLASSES - In one embodiment of the present invention a system is provided for allowing a consumer to easily match a suitable pair of primary eyeglasses with a suitable pair of auxiliary eyeglasses. In one example (which example is intended to be illustrative and not restrictive), the suitable pair of primary eyeglasses may be matched with the suitable pair of auxiliary eyeglasses without damaging or opening the package which contains the pair of auxiliary eyeglasses. In another example (which example is intended to be illustrative and not restrictive), the system may comprise a package and/or a displayer. | 07-08-2010 |
| 20100309426 | Eyewear with multi-part temple for supporting one or more electrical components - Techniques for providing eyewear with electrical components are disclosed. The electrical components can provide electrical technology to eyewear without having to substantially compromise aesthetic design principles of the eyewear. The electrical components can be partially or completely internal to eyewear. The electrical components can also be attached to the eyewear as an after-market enhancement. The electrical components can operate independently or together with other electrical components provided elsewhere. Apparatus for presenting after-market electrical components are also disclosed. | 12-09-2010 |
| 20110102734 | Eyeglasses with a printed circuit board - In one embodiment, an eyeglass frame includes a lens holder, a first temple with a first end close to the lens holder and a second end, a second temple, an electrical connector and a printed circuit board. The printed circuit board with at least one electrical component can be in the first temple. The connector can be close to the first end of the first temple, facing downward, and electrically connected to the at least one electrical component. In another embodiment, an eyeglass frame includes a first printed circuit board, with at least one electrical component. The first printed circuit board can be connected to an electrical component at the frame via a second printed circuit board. | 05-05-2011 |
