Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of smart glasses, and more particularly to separate-type smart glasses.

Background Art

[0002] As is well known, at present, the ceilings of innovation have emerged in two major computing platforms, namely personal computers and smartphones, and it seems that a new generation of mobile wearable computing platforms stronger than both will soon emerge. The human-machine interaction of the keyboard, mouse, and window of a personal computer, and the touch panel of a smartphone are crucial defect improvement technologies for the model change of the two major computing platforms. Similarly, smart glasses are also crucial defect improvement technologies for achieving the output display of human-machine interaction in the next-generation mobile wearable computing stage.

[0003] Since Google invented smart glasses in 2012, there has been a problem that the weight of the battery and computing unit of smart glasses worn on the ears and the bridge of the nose has a great impact on battery life. So far, the market has been divided into two types of smart glasses: integrated and separate. The biggest problem with the integrated type that includes the battery and computing unit is still that the weight of the finished product is too heavy and the battery life is too short. The separate type separates the battery and host part from the glass body, reducing the weight of the glasses and increasing the battery life. However, due to the weight of its about 5-mm-thick power data cable, the ears cannot withstand being worn for a long time. With the long transmission cable, it is troublesome for the user to connect and disconnect each time they use it. When the head moves up, down, left, or right, the user is obstructed by the traction restraint of the transmission cable and it is difficult to perform the attachment and detachment operation. When a thick and long transmission cable is worn behind the ear, it further affects the user's image, so the general public does not want to use it. There is an expectation for the emergence of smart glasses that not only have the merit of being cable-free like integrated smart glasses and can be used simply by wearing them, but also can meet the requirement of long battery life and output display like separate smart glasses. However, the technical problems that have plagued the industry for many years cannot be basically solved before the emergence of new wearable batteries with high specific energy.

[0004] For example, in Chinese Patent CN216119548U, in the method of connecting a thick data cable of a smartphone to smart glasses to transmit audio and video data and provide continuous power supply, the connection is troublesome and the user is restricted and obstructed by the data cable when using it.

[0005] Also, for example, in Chinese Patent CN209311821U, the battery is provided on the temple of the smart glasses. In order to reduce the load on the ears and the bridge of the nose, the capacity of the battery is limited and there are defects in the battery life.

[0006] Furthermore, for example, in the binocular AR type wireless glasses of Chinese Patent CN216285995U, although the battery and the glass body are installed separately, they are actually an integrated smart glass that is flexibly connected by a charging and transmitting cable and fixed together. The weight of the battery is shifted to the shoulders around the neck, but there is a drawback that it becomes heavy when detaching, and it has to be worn entirely for charging. To power the operation throughout the day, a thick and large battery needs to be attached to the neck, and the design does not conform to the principle of human-machine aesthetics, so people give up using it for the sake of beauty.

[0007] Therefore, the separate type smart glasses have become a problem to be solved.

Summary of the Invention

[0008] The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a separate type smart glasses that automatically connect a battery and a data cable wirelessly for power supply.

[0009] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical means. A separate type smart glasses including a smart glass body that provides mobile man-machine interaction and outputs and displays a video, a wearable separation part including a battery, and an automatic magnetic attraction connection device that automatically adsorbs and connects the power supply of the smart glass body and the wearable separation part and / or the data transmission cable of the wearable host computer. The smart glass body is a smart glass that can superimpose a video image on a user walking in the actual visual field of the glasses in the prior art. A glasses neck strap for connecting both between two temple bars of the smart glass body is provided. An upper transmission cable drawn from the middle part of the glasses neck strap and connected to the automatic magnetic attraction connection device is hidden and installed on the glasses neck strap. The wearable separation part is a separate type smart glasses connected to the automatic magnetic attraction connection device by a lower transmission cable.

[0010] Furthermore, the automatic magnetic attraction connection device includes an upper magnetic connector and a lower magnetic connector. The upper magnetic connector is connected to the spectacle neck strap by an upper transmission cable, and the lower transmission cable extends along the user's neck and back and is connected to the lower magnetic connector.

[0011] Furthermore, a guide block is provided on the lower magnetic connector. The guide block always keeps the lower magnetic connector upward, and at the same time, until the upper magnetic connector and the lower magnetic connector are accurately aligned and attracted to each other, the upper magnetic connector is automatically attracted and guided by the lower magnetic connector.

[0012] Furthermore, a fixing member for fixing the lower magnetic connector to the collar or kimono at the position of the user's neck and back is further provided on the lower magnetic connector.

[0013] Furthermore, the wearable separation part is a separate part of a wearable host computer including a battery, or a separate part of an external battery after the wearable host computer is separated.

[0014] When the wearable separation part is a separate part of a wearable host computer including a battery, the host projects and displays on the smart glasses in a way that the transmission cable is automatically connected. After the wearable host computer is separated, in order to give the user a comfortable wearing experience, the remaining separate part of the external battery can use a thinner transmission cable that is automatically connected only to the smart glasses for power supply.

[0015] Furthermore, on the outer surface of the wearable separation part, a magnetic attraction charging transmission coil for wirelessly charging the wearable host computer or other equipment, and a port for charging or power supply to itself and / or other equipment are provided.

[0016] The advantages of the present invention compared with the prior art are as follows. The thick and heavy power data transmission cable of the battery and the host in the separate part of the present invention is hidden and extends from its wearing position to the position of the shoulder and neck behind the head, and is fixed to the clothing or ornament to reduce the weight of the transmission cable, and avoid pulling the transmission cable of the main body part connected thereto, and bear most of the weight of the transmission cable of the main body part. The glass main body part and its short extending transmission cable form a simple neck-hanging type glass. The transmission cable of the main body part and the transmission cable of the separate part are automatically connected. Finally, the outer shape of the glasses is made simple without long hanging lines, the electrical connection with the separate part is automatically completed, the attachment and detachment are simpler than the conventional integrated type and separate type, and when the user's head moves up, down, left and right, it is not restricted by traction from the transmission cable, does not affect the user's image, and meets the purpose of operating with a long battery life throughout the day.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0018] Hereinafter, the separate type smart glasses according to the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings.

[0019] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3. The specific implementation process of the separate type smart glasses according to the present invention is as follows.

[0020] A separate type of smart glasses, comprising: a smart glass body 1 that provides mobile man-machine interaction and outputs and displays a video; a wearable separation part 2 including a battery (the wearable separation part 2 is a separate part of a wearable computer including a battery, or a separate part of an external battery of a wearable computer); and an automatic magnetic attraction connection device that automatically adsorbs and connects a power supply and / or a data transmission cable between the smart glass body 1 and the wearable separation part 2.

[0021] The automatic magnetic attraction connection device includes a lower magnetic connector 7 and an upper magnetic connector 6. A glasses neck strap 3 is connected and installed between two temple bars of the smart glass body 1. An upper transmission cable 4 connected to the smart glass body 1 and having a power supply and / or data transmission function is hidden and installed on the glasses neck strap 3. The upper transmission cable 4 may be introduced into the glasses neck strap 3 from a bunch on one temple bar of the smart glass body 1, or from two temple bars divided into two bunches, and drawn out from the middle part of the neck strap and connected to the upper magnetic connector 6 (see FIG. 1. In this embodiment, since the transmission cable is divided into two bunches and introduced into the neck strap from two temple bars, a single neck strap becomes thinner and more flexible). The wearable separation part 2 is connected and installed to the lower magnetic connector 7 on the user's neck and back by a lower transmission cable 5 having a power supply or / and data transmission function.

[0022] When the user puts on the smart glass body 1 connected to the glasses neck strap 3 (from the head downwards) on both ears and the bridge of the nose, the upper magnetic connector 6 and the lower magnetic connector 7 in the wearable separation part 2 are automatically adsorbed and connected. At the same time, the upper transmission cable 4 and the lower transmission cable 5 of both are also automatically connected and conducted, and an automatic magnetic attraction connection device between the smart glass body 1 and the wearable separation part 2 is formed.

[0023] In the automatic magnetic attraction connection device, since there is only a thin and short glasses neck strap 3 for connecting two glasses temples at the rear of the temple of the separate type smart glasses body 1, it is lighter than the integrated type smart glasses. Moreover, if a wearing operation simpler than the need for connection in the current separate type smart glasses is used, the automatic connection operation with the downlink cable 5 of the wearable separation part 2 can be automatically completed. The length including the upper magnetic connector 6 of the glasses neck strap 3 is longer than the distance from the two glasses temples to the lower magnetic connector 7 and leaves a sufficient margin. Therefore, after the connection is completed, most of the weight of the glasses neck strap 3 is received by the lower magnetic connector 7, and there is no feeling of being pulled and restrained even when the head moves back and forth, left and right. The wearable smart glasses can provide better assurance for the continuation of man-machine interaction than the conventional integrated type and separate type models.

[0024] Refer to FIG. 3. In an embodiment of the present application, the wearable host computer of the wearable separation part 2 can use a "Samsung" brand S20 smartphone with a projection function by the dp method with a battery attached. Through the dp method downlink cable, it is connected to a commercially available "Yishi" brand dp method magnetic attraction adapter as an automatic magnetic attraction connection device. Further, through the dp method uplink cable connected to the magnetic attraction adapter, it is connected to a commercially available "Thunderbird" brand Air Plus smart glasses that receive dp method signals to perform projection display.

[0025] In an embodiment of the present application, a guide block 8 is provided on the lower magnetic connector 7, and it is also possible that the upper magnetic connector 6 is automatically attracted and guided by the lower magnetic connector 7 until the lower magnetic connector 7 is always upward and accurately aligned and adsorbed to each other.

[0026] In an embodiment of the present application, a fixing member 9 is further provided on the lower magnetic connector 7. The fixing member 9 may be an elastic clip or a magic tape (registered trademark) so as to fix the lower magnetic connector 7 to the collar or kimono at the user's neck muscle and back position.

[0027] In one embodiment of the present application, the wearable separation part 2 may be provided on the user's back, shoulders and neck, or both shoulders, or in the pocket of clothes or trousers, or on a neck-hanging strap, necklace, muffler, tie, or belt, or bra, or shoulder bag, or waistcoat, clothes, or ornaments.

[0028] In one embodiment of the present application, a magnetic attraction charging transmission coil 10 for wirelessly charging a wearable host computer or other equipment is provided on the outer surface of the wearable separation part 2, and a port 11 for charging or supplying power to itself or / and other equipment is further provided.

[0029] In one embodiment of the present application, the outer surface of the glasses neck-hanging strap 3 connected between the left temple and the right temple of the smart glasses body 1 is color-matched according to the hair colors of various types of people (for example, black, brown, gray, white). The outer surface of the lower transmission cable 5 of the wearable separation part 2 is color-matched according to the skin colors of various types of people (for example, black, white, brown).

[0030] In one embodiment of the present application, a skin care protection layer made of a soft material is laid on the surface of the guide block 8 and the elastic clip facing the user's back.

[0031] The thick and heavy power data transmission cable of the battery and host of the separable part of the present invention extends hidden from its wearing position to the position of the shoulder and neck behind the head, and is fixed to clothing or ornaments to reduce the weight of the transmission cable, avoid pulling the transmission cable of the main body part connected thereto, and receive most of the weight of the transmission cable of the main body part. The smart glass main body and its short extending transmission cable form a simple neck-hanging type glass. The upper transmission cable 4 of the smart glass main body and the lower transmission cable 5 of the wearable separable part 2 are automatically connected. Finally, the outer shape of the glass main body part is made simple without a long hanging line, the electrical connection with the separable part is automatically completed, the attachment and detachment are simpler than the conventional integrated type and separate type, and when the user's head moves up, down, left, and right, it is not restricted by traction from the transmission cable, does not affect the user's image, and satisfies the purpose of operating with a long battery life throughout the day.

[0032] As described above, the present invention and its embodiments have been described. However, such descriptions are not restrictive. What is shown in the drawings is only one of the embodiments of the present invention, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. That is, those skilled in the art, under the inspiration thereof, without departing from the gist of the creation of the present invention, all structural aspects and examples similar to the technical means designed without creativity should belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
