[0019] The accompanying drawings, which are included in and form part of this specification, illustrate exemplary embodiments, features, and aspects of the present invention together with the specification and serve to explain the principles of the present invention.

[0020] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a smart glasses device provided in an embodiment of this disclosure. Detailed Implementation

[0021] Various exemplary embodiments, features, and aspects of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote elements that have the same or similar functions. Although various aspects of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, they are not necessarily drawn to scale unless specifically indicated otherwise.

[0022] The term “exemplary” as used herein means “serving as an example, embodiment, or illustration.” Any embodiment illustrated herein as “exemplary” is not necessarily to be construed as superior to or better than other embodiments.

[0023] Furthermore, to better illustrate this utility model, numerous specific details are provided in the following detailed embodiments. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model can be implemented even without certain specific details. In some instances, methods, means, components, and circuits well-known to those skilled in the art have not been described in detail, in order to highlight the main points of this utility model.

[0024] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a smart glasses device provided in an embodiment of this disclosure. The method includes: a glasses case and smart glasses; wherein, the glasses case includes a first chip; the first chip includes: a cellular communication module, a first wireless communication module, and a configuration module; the smart glasses include: temples; and a second chip is included inside the temples, the second chip including a second wireless communication module.

[0025] The first chip supports data processing on the glasses case and control of the smart glasses. The second chip supports simple data processing on the smart glasses themselves, such as data preprocessing before performing artificial intelligence data processing. The smart glasses consist of two temples. In one example, only one temple contains the second chip, while the other temple may not. The second chip can be a Bluetooth master control chip.

[0026] The first and second wireless communication modules work together to enable wireless communication between the glasses case and the smart glasses. This allows the glasses case to control the smart glasses or process data collected by the smart glasses. This data processing can include both general data processing and artificial intelligence (AI) data processing. General data processing can include data preprocessing, such as echo cancellation, gain adjustment, noise reduction, audio format conversion, and music playback for audio data. For video data, it can include image cropping, image format conversion, enhancement, and image noise reduction. AI data processing can include speech recognition using large language models, analysis and processing of speech data, and speech synthesis from text or commands.

[0027] The cellular communication module enables the smart glasses device to communicate with external devices, such as cloud servers. The smart glasses device can utilize richer computing and storage resources to perform data processing and retrieval, meeting diverse user needs and improving user satisfaction.

[0028] The configuration module can initiate, create, and / or configure the necessary interfaces when smart glasses devices call artificial intelligence resources on external devices, enabling smart glasses devices to use external artificial intelligence resources smoothly.

[0029] For example, the configuration module can call the RTC-SDK's `createRTCVideo` interface (used to create and initialize the instant call engine). After successful creation via the `createRTCVideo` interface, the configuration module can call the RTC-SDK's `createRTCRoom` interface (used to create an instant call room) and the `joinRoom` interface (used to enter an instant call room). The configuration module can also call the `startAudioCapture` interface (used to send a hardware start command to the temple of the glasses).

[0030] For example, when the idle time of a call exceeds a first duration threshold, the configuration module can call the StopVoiceChat interface of the RTC-SDK (for the interface to close the relevant agent), and call the leaveRoom (for leaving the call room) and destroy interface (for closing the call room), and can also call stopAudioCapture (for the interface to stop audio capture).

[0031] In this embodiment, a first wireless communication module is installed in the glasses case, and a second wireless communication module is installed in the temples of the smart glasses to enable data transmission between the glasses case and the smart glasses. The glasses case can process data to meet user needs, and it also includes a cellular communication module and a configuration module, allowing it to communicate with external devices. This enables the glasses case to perform complex or high-volume artificial intelligence calculations. Users can use the smart glasses normally even outdoors, in situations where it is inconvenient to carry a mobile phone, or if they belong to a group of people who have difficulty using mobile phones. It does not rely on WiFi coverage areas or smartphones. This allows people who have difficulty using mobile phones to use smart glasses, increasing their adoption rate.

[0032] In one possible implementation, the communication connection includes a dual-mode communication link connection, which comprises a Bluetooth link and a WiFi direct link.

[0033] In this embodiment, the first wireless communication module supports both Bluetooth and WiFi dual-mode communication. The second wireless communication module also supports both Bluetooth and WiFi dual-mode communication. This allows the two wireless communication methods to serve as backups for each other, making communication between the glasses case and the smart glasses more reliable. Furthermore, when low latency is required or the amount of data to be transmitted is small, Bluetooth can be used for transmission. When the amount of data to be transmitted is large, a direct WiFi link can be used. This improves transmission efficiency and quality, thereby enhancing the overall performance of the smart glasses device.

[0034] In one possible implementation, the smart glasses also include a frame that is detachably connected to the temples.

[0035] The eyeglass frame can be any part of the smart glasses except for the temples. The eyeglass frame may include lenses and an outer frame that supports the lenses and connects them to the temples. The temples and the eyeglass frame can be connected by a plug-in method. For example, a first protrusion can be provided on the temple, and a first groove can be provided on the frame. The first protrusion and the first groove can be plugged into each other to connect the frame and the temples. Alternatively, a second groove can be provided on the temple, and a second protrusion can be provided on the frame. Alternatively, screws can be used to connect the temples and the frame. This disclosure does not limit the specific connection method between the temples and the frame.

[0036] Eyeglass frames can come in many types. Functionally, they can include: sun-protective frames, sports frames, corrective lenses, and decorative frames. Stylistically, they can include: retro-style frames, modern-style frames, and minimalist-style frames. These are merely examples; this disclosure does not limit the types of eyeglass frames.

[0037] In this embodiment, the eyeglass frame and temples are detachably connected, allowing users to change the frame according to different scenarios, preferences, and clothing. This satisfies the user's needs for smart glasses while also meeting the aesthetic and usage habits of users of different ages and functional requirements, thereby improving user satisfaction.

[0038] In one possible implementation, the temple of the glasses also contains a communication module, which includes a microphone, a speaker, and a camera.

[0039] A microphone can capture the user's audio data. A speaker can be used to broadcast the audio data. A camera can be used to capture images within a preset range. For example, capturing images of objects in the direction the user is facing.

[0040] The smart glasses device in this application embodiment can support user voice calls, as well as image and video capture. The smart glasses device can also support user voice control of the smart glasses and / or voice control of external devices via the smart glasses device.

[0041] In scenarios where vulnerable users such as the elderly or children use smart glasses, these users can simultaneously talk to other adult users and capture images of the direction their eyes are facing. This improves the accuracy of assistance provided by other adults to vulnerable users, and also expands the range of activities and capabilities of vulnerable users.

[0042] In one possible implementation, the temple of the glasses also contains true wireless stereo (TWS) earphones.

[0043] True wireless stereo (TWS) earbuds can read aloud the other party's audio data during voice calls. When the earbuds utilize artificial intelligence modules, they can also read aloud the results of a large language model's data processing.

[0044] In this way, users can also use smart glasses in scenarios where quiet is required or where user privacy is involved, expanding the usage scenarios and improving user satisfaction.

[0045] In one possible implementation, the eyeglass case includes a cavity, within which a first charging port is disposed, and the temples of the eyeglasses include a second charging port.

[0046] The glasses case also includes a first battery. One end of the first charging port can be fixedly connected to the first battery. The other end of the first charging port can be connected to a second charging port. For example, the other end of the first charging port has a first metal contact, and the second charging port has a second metal contact. By contacting the first metal contact with the second metal contact, the first charging port and the second charging port are connected. The smart glasses are charged while stored in the glasses case, without needing additional space for charging. Furthermore, the forced binding of the glasses case and smart glasses during charging reduces the probability of users forgetting the glasses case or the smart glasses.

[0047] In one possible implementation, the temple of the glasses includes a first battery, and the cavity of the glasses case includes a spare temple slot for charging a spare temple.

[0048] The slot can be connected to the first battery. A third metal contact or a first magnetic interface can be provided within the slot, and a fourth metal contact or a second magnetic interface can be provided on the spare temple. By connecting the third and fourth metal contacts, or magnetically connecting the first and second magnetic interfaces, the eyeglass case can charge the spare temple.

[0049] In this embodiment, the spare temple can be used interchangeably with the temple, improving the battery life of the smart glasses device.

[0050] In one possible implementation, the temple of the glasses further includes: an indicator light, a second battery, a touchpad, and / or buttons.

[0051] Indicator lights can indicate the status of the smart glasses. Status can include: working, off, in call mode, charging, etc. A second battery can provide power to the smart glasses.

[0052] The touchpad allows users to control the smart glasses via touch. The buttons allow users to control the smart glasses via physical buttons. This provides multiple control methods, enabling users to use the smart glasses even in scenarios where voice control is inconvenient.

[0053] In one possible implementation, the temple of the glasses incorporates a lightweight NPU core for performing at least one of local audio processing, voice wake-up, voice activity detection, and image preprocessing.

[0054] The second chip can contain a lightweight NPU core. This allows the smart glasses to be directly activated, enabling image and audio preprocessing and other operations without data interaction with the glasses case, thus improving wake-up speed and preprocessing efficiency.

[0055] In one possible implementation, the glasses case has a built-in artificial intelligence (AI) processing module for performing task processing.

[0056] The AI ​​processing module can include local operation modules within the glasses case, such as a navigation module, a music playback module, and a telephone module. The glasses case is capable of performing AI tasks, reducing reliance on external devices, minimizing data exchange, and improving processing efficiency.

[0057] In one possible implementation, the glasses case includes a power management module for controlling the smart glasses to enter a sleep mode when the smart glasses are in a non-working state.

[0058] The power management module can determine whether the smart glasses are in a non-working state. For example, if the idle time of a call exceeds a first duration threshold, the smart glasses are determined to be in a non-working state. Another example is when a call end command is detected, indicating that the smart glasses are in a non-working state. The call end command can be issued by the user via touchpad, button, or voice.

[0059] The power management module can control the smart glasses to enter sleep mode when they are not in use. This saves energy, increases standby time, and makes them more convenient for users.

[0060] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
