AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Wearable eyewear, particularly smart glasses, lack the ability to selectively and controllably illuminate frames to convey information or signals to both the user and others, beyond what is displayed on the lenses.

Method used

Incorporating controllable frame elements with integrated light sources and light-transmitting portions, allowing for selective illumination in various colors, patterns, and directions, including inward and outward lighting, controlled by an illumination controller.

Benefits of technology

Enables the eyewear to provide personalized notifications and signals to the user while also conveying messages to others, enhancing functionality and security through customizable frame illumination.

Abstract

An eyewear or smart glasses apparatus having a frame having one or more lenses, a light source, and a light-transmitting portion of the frame optically coupled to the light source. The light-transmitting portion emits light in at least one of an outward direction away from a wearer and an inward direction toward the wearer. The light-transmitting portion preferably is a lower rim section extending around a lower perimeter of the lenses. A guide element transmits light from the light source to the light-transmitting portion, with the guide element being at least one of a light tube, a fiber optic element, or a diffusion element configured to create a gradient illumination pattern. An illumination controller is connected to the light source and generates distinct illumination patterns in the light-transmitting portion for signaling different information, either outwardly for signaling others or inwardly for signaling the wearer.
