Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This specification discloses technology related to smart glasses. [Background technology]

[0002] Smart glasses are eyeglass-type wearable devices. They include a display unit that displays information superimposed on the user's field of vision, temples extending from the display unit, and nose pads attached to the display unit. Patent Document 1 describes smart glasses with a battery, controller, speaker, etc. built into the temples. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3224798 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] The smart glasses in Patent Document 1 have a center of gravity biased toward the front where the display unit is located, which causes the display unit to come into contact with the user's nose, which can be a problem for the user. This problem is particularly noticeable for people who do not normally wear glasses. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] One embodiment of smart glasses disclosed herein includes a first temple having a first front end and a first rear end, a second temple having a second front end and a second rear end, a display unit connecting the first front end and the second front end and displaying information superimposed on the user's field of vision, a rear connector connecting the first rear end and the second rear end and incorporating a battery that stores power to supply to the display unit, and an adjustment mechanism for adjusting the relative position of the rear connector with respect to the display unit. According to this embodiment of smart glasses, the rear connector, which incorporates a heavy battery, is adjusted to a position where it abuts the back of the user's head using the adjustment mechanism, thereby stabilizing the glasses in a state where the rear connector, which serves as a point of force, lifts the display unit, which serves as a point of application, with the user's ear, where the first temple and the second temple are engaged, as a fulcrum. This reduces discomfort caused by the display unit contacting the user's nose. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0006] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a side view showing smart glasses. [Figure 2] FIG. 1 is a top view showing smart glasses. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0007] Fig. 1 is a side view showing the smart glasses 100. Fig. 2 is a top view showing the smart glasses 100. The smart glasses 100 are glasses-type wearable devices. The smart glasses 100 include a display unit 110, temples 120, 130, nose pads 140, and a rear connection unit 150.

[0008] The temple 120 of the smart glasses 100 is a portion that engages with the left ear 810 of the user 800. The temple 120 has a first tip portion 122 and a first rear end portion 124.

[0009] A first tip portion 122 of the temple 120 is connected to the display unit 110. The first tip portion 122 has a rod shape extending in the front-rear direction.

[0010] The first rear end portion 124 of the temple 120 is connected to the rear connecting portion 150. The first rear end portion 124 is rod-shaped and extends in the front-rear direction. The first rear end portion 124 has flexibility that allows it to deform in the left-right direction. The first rear end portion 124 is configured to be able to move in and out of the first tip portion 122 in the front-rear direction M1. As a result, the first tip portion 122 and the first rear end portion 124 function as an adjustment mechanism that adjusts the relative position of the rear connecting portion 150 with respect to the display unit 110.

[0011] The temple 130 of the smart glasses 100 is a portion that engages with the right ear 810 of the user 800. The temple 130 has a second tip portion 132 and a second rear end portion 134.

[0012] A second tip portion 132 of the temple 130 is connected to the display unit 110. The second tip portion 132 has a rod shape extending in the front-rear direction.

[0013] The second rear end portion 134 of the temple 130 is connected to the rear connecting portion 150. The second rear end portion 134 is rod-shaped and extends in the front-rear direction. The second rear end portion 134 has flexibility that allows it to deform in the left-right direction. The second rear end portion 134 is configured to be able to move in and out of the second tip portion 132 in the front-rear direction M2. As a result, the second tip portion 132 and the second rear end portion 134 function as an adjustment mechanism that adjusts the relative position of the rear connecting portion 150 with respect to the display unit 110.

[0014] The display unit 110 of the smart glasses 100 is a part that displays information superimposed on the user's field of vision. The display unit 110 connects the first end portion 122 and the second end portion 132.

[0015] The nose pads 140 of the smart glasses 100 are portions that come into contact with the nose 820 of the user 800. The nose pads 140 are provided in a position in the center of the display unit 110 that sandwiches the nose 820. The nose pads 140 support the display unit 110 together with the temples 120 and 130. If the display unit 110 can be stably held while being separated from the nose 820 of the user 800, the smart glasses 100 do not need to include the nose pads 140. This allows for greater freedom in designing the shape and structure of the display unit 110.

[0016] The rear connecting portion 150 of the smart glasses 100 is a portion that connects the first rear end portion 124 and the second rear end portion 134. The rear connecting portion 150 has a first rotating connecting portion 151, a second rotating connecting portion 152, an arm portion 153, an arm portion 154, and a storage portion 158.

[0017] The first rotary coupling part 151 of the rear coupling part 150 is a part that connects the arm part 153 to the first rear end part 124 so as to be rotatable in a rotation direction R1 around a rotation axis A1 extending in the left-right direction. As a result, the first rotary coupling part 151 functions as an adjustment mechanism that adjusts the relative position of the rear coupling part 150 with respect to the display part 110.

[0018] The second rotary coupling part 152 of the rear coupling part 150 is a part that connects the arm part 154 to the second rear end part 134 so as to be rotatable in a rotation direction R2 about a rotation axis A2 extending in the left-right direction. As a result, the second rotary coupling part 152 functions as an adjustment mechanism that adjusts the relative position of the rear coupling part 150 with respect to the display part 110.

[0019] The arm portion 153 of the rear connecting portion 150 is a portion that connects the first rear end portion 124 and the housing portion 158. The arm portion 153 is configured to be able to be inserted into and removed from the housing portion 158 in the left-right direction M3. As a result, the arm portion 153 and the housing portion 158 function as an adjustment mechanism that adjusts the relative position of the rear connecting portion 150 with respect to the display unit 110.

[0020] The arm portion 154 of the rear connecting portion 150 is a portion that connects the second rear end portion 134 and the housing portion 158. The arm portion 154 is configured to be able to be inserted into and removed from the housing portion 158 in the left-right direction M4. As a result, the arm portion 154 and the housing portion 158 function as an adjustment mechanism that adjusts the relative position of the rear connecting portion 150 with respect to the display unit 110.

[0021] The storage section 158 of the rear connecting section 150 is a section that stores a battery 170. The battery 170 is a device that stores power to supply to the display section 110. The storage section 158 preferably has a cylindrical shape that extends in the left-right direction.

[0022] According to the smart glasses 100 described above, the rear connector 150, which houses the heavy battery 170, can be adjusted to a position where it abuts against the back of the head 830 of the user 800 using the adjustment mechanism (the first tip portion 122, the first rear end portion 124, the second tip portion 132, the second rear end portion 134, the first rotating connector 151, the second rotating connector 152, the arm portion 153, the arm portion 154, and the housing portion 158). The rear connector 150, which serves as a point of force, stabilizes by lifting the display unit 110, which serves as a point of application, with the ear 810 of the user 800, where the first temple 120 and the second temple 130 are engaged, serving as a fulcrum. This reduces discomfort caused by the display unit 110 coming into contact with the nose 820 of the user 800. The center of gravity of the smart glasses 100 is preferably closer to the rear connector 150 than the ear 810 of the user 800, which serves as the fulcrum.
