| 20080291277 | Monocular display device - A head mounted support system for a head mounted apparatus. The apparatus includes a monocular display with a wireless communications interface, a user input device, a transmitter, receiver and a controller. The controller is configured to control the transmitter for sending and receiving control signals to and from an external device via the wireless interface. The monocular display is positioned relative to the user's dominant eye to display images to the user while occluding less than half of the user's maximum viewing space, while enabling the user to send and receive audible information or music. The head mounted support system may include an ear loop, and a housing for storing one or more functional components of the apparatus. | 11-27-2008 |
| 20090099836 | Mobile wireless display providing speech to speech translation and avatar simulating human attributes - An apparatus includes a monocular display with a wireless communications interface, user input device, transmitter, and controller, and may provide a video link to and control and management of a host device and other devices, such as a cell phone, computer, laptop, or media player. The apparatus may receive speech and digitize it. The apparatus may compare the digitized speech in a first language to a table of digitized speech in a second language to provide translation or, alternatively, may compare the digitized speech to a table of control commands. The control commands allow user interaction with the apparatus or other remote devices in a visual and audio manner. The control signals control a “recognized persona” or avatar stored in a memory to provide simulated human attributes to the apparatus, network or third party communication device. The avatar may be changed or upgraded according to user choice. | 04-16-2009 |
| 20090117890 | Mobile wireless display for accessing data from a host and method for controlling - An apparatus includes a monocular display with a wireless communications interface, a user input device, a transmitter, and a controller. The monocular display is positioned relative to the user's eye to display images to the user while occluding less than half of the user's maximum viewing space. The apparatus can incorporate a wireless communication controller that not only provides a video link to a host device, but also provides for control and management of a host device and other more devices. In this context, a host device may be any appropriate device that sources audio, video, text, office functionality and other information, such as a cell phone, personal computer, laptop, media player, and/or the like. The apparatus and the host may support Microsoft Windows SideShow, Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), and Virtual Network Computing (VNC). | 05-07-2009 |
| 20110001699 | REMOTE CONTROL OF HOST APPLICATION USING MOTION AND VOICE COMMANDS - A remote control microdisplay device that uses hand and head movement and voice commands to control the parameters of a field of view for the microdisplay within a larger virtual display area associated with a host application. | 01-06-2011 |
| 20110187640 | Wireless Hands-Free Computing Headset With Detachable Accessories Controllable by Motion, Body Gesture and/or Vocal Commands - A remote control microdisplay device that uses hand movement, body gesture, head movement, head position and/or vocal commands to control the headset, a peripheral device, a remote system, network or software application, such as to control the parameters of a field of view for the microdisplay within a larger virtual display area associated with a host application, a peripheral device or host system. The movement and/or vocal commands are detected via the headset and/or detachable peripheral device connected to the headset microdisplay device via one or more peripheral ports. | 08-04-2011 |
| 20120068914 | MINIATURE COMMUNICATIONS GATEWAY FOR HEAD MOUNTED DISPLAY - A head mounted display (HMD) system includes a number of separately and uniquely packaged components. A first component is a headset that incorporates at least a microphone input and speaker output devices into headset housing apparatus designed to be supported about the user's head or face. A microdisplay element is located in an optical pod at the end of an adjustable boom as part of the headset. Additional components, including electronic circuits, such as a microcomputer, one or more wired and wireless interfaces, associated memory or storage devices, auxiliary device mounts and the like are packaged in the headset or as a pager sized gateway device having a belt clip. | 03-22-2012 |
| 20120068921 | WIRELESS VIDEO HEADSET WITH SPREAD SPECTRUM OVERLAY - Enhanced Bluetooth and/or cellular frequency hopping radios are integrated into a hands-free wireless mobile computing and video display headset. Forms of these enhanced headsets incorporating the enhanced frequency hopping spread spectrum radio technology are of interest to military, police, fire fighters, first responders and certain commercial companies such as utility companies seeking private cellular systems seeking enhanced communication privacy. | 03-22-2012 |
| 20120075177 | LAPEL MICROPHONE MICRO-DISPLAY SYSTEM INCORPORATING MOBILE INFORMATION ACCESS - A shoulder mounted lapel microphone housing that encloses a microdisplay, a computer, and other communication system components. A microdisplay element is located on or in the microphone housing. Other electronic circuits, such as a microcomputer, one or more wired and wireless interfaces, associated memory or storage devices, auxiliary device mounts and the like are packaged in the microphone housing and/or in an optional pager sized gateway device having a belt clip. Motion, gesture, and/or audio processing circuits in the system provide a way for the user to input commands to the system without a keyboard or mouse. The system provides connectivity to other computing devices such as cellular phones, smartphones, laptop computers, or the like. | 03-29-2012 |
