An electronic eyewear device includes a frame having a first electronic subsystem that includes a near-eye graphical display, a temple portion having a second electronic subsystem, and a hinge assembly rotatably coupling the frame to the temple portion. According to an example, the hinge assembly includes a hinge core defining a hinge axis, a cover that spans a gap between the frame and the temple portion on at least one side of the hinge axis, and a flexible ribbon circuit electrically coupling the first electronic subsystem to the second electronic subsystem. In at least some examples, the flexible ribbon circuit spirals around the hinge core between the cover and the hinge core.

In one embodiment, an eyewear for a user includes an eyewear frame, electrical circuitry at least partially in the eyewear frame, and a touch sensitive input surface on the eyewear frame configured to provide an input to the electrical circuitry to perform a function via touching the touch sensitive input surface. In another embodiment, the eyewear includes a switch with at least two operational states. The operational states of the switch can be configured to be changed by sliding a finger across the touch sensitive input surface of the frame.

The invention discloses a variable tint lens and glasses. The variable tint lens includes a first polarizer, a second polarizer, and a liquid crystal layer arranged between the first polarizer and the second polarizer, a first conductive film arranged between the first polarizer and the liquid crystal layer, and a second conductive film arranged between the second polarizer and the liquid crystal layer, the first conductive film and the second conductive film are also connected to a power supply device. The arrangement direction of the liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal layer changes according to the voltage provided by the power supply device, so that the refractive index of the liquid crystal molecules to the light is changed, and the color of the light passing through the liquid crystal layer is changed. Compared with the prior art, the present invention can continuously change the color of light passing through the variable tint lens and adjust the brightness of the light. It is equipped with automatic adjustment and manual adjustment, which can adjust the color of the light according to actual needs, which improves the user experience.

Magnetic Bluetooth eyeglasses are revealed. A Bluetooth circuit module is mounted in a mounting space of a temple and provided with a built-in Bluetooth unit connected to mobile devices. The Bluetooth circuit module further includes a microphone, a speaker, a touch switch, and a power connection base. The temple is connected to a power supply device by magnetic attraction between first and second magnetic members while the power supply device is in contact with the power connection base of the Bluetooth circuit module. Thereby users are not bothered by wires while in use and the eyeglasses are more convenient to use. Moreover, the eyeglasses can still be used during charging process. Users only need to replace the power supply device with a new one already charged instead of taking off the whole eyeglasses. The eyeglasses which prevent moisture infiltration provide longer service life.

An electronic case for electronic spectacles may include a base comprising a cavity formed therein. A first spectacle retention device may be located within the cavity. The first spectacle retention device may be configured to retain spectacles. An electrical control system may be included. An electrical connector may be configured to couple the electrical control system in electronic communication with the spectacles.

A display control device includes a processor. The processor acquires a vehicle state, and displays, at spatial coordinates set above an instrument panel in a vehicle cabin, a predetermined icon corresponding to the vehicle state via a lens that is able to be attached to an eyeball of an occupant. Thus, the occupant can grasp the vehicle state without having the vehicle condition displayed on a display in a vehicle cabin.

One aspect disclosed is a method including determining a location from a positioning system receiver, determining, using a hardware processor and the location, that the location is approaching a path of direction of visual direction information, displaying the visual direction information on a display of a wearable device in response to the determining, determining, using the positioning system receiver, whether the turn of the visual direction information has been made, determining, by the hardware processor, a first period of time for display of the content data based on whether the turn of the visual direction information has been made, powering on the display and displaying, using the display, content data for the first period of time, turning off the display and the hardware processor following display of the content data.

One or more embodiments of the present disclosure may include: a transparent member; a housing coupled to the transparent member in a rotatable manner via a hinge portion, such that the housing is foldable in a designated direction with respect to the transparent member; a projector at least partially disposed in the housing; and an optical transferring member configured to guide light emitted from the projector to the transparent member when the housing is unfolded with respect to the transparent member in an unfolded state.

A smart device input method based on facial vibration includes: collecting a facial vibration signal generated when a user performs voice input; extracting a Mel-frequency cepstral coefficient from the facial vibration signal; and taking the Mel-frequency cepstral coefficient as an observation sequence to obtain text input corresponding to the facial vibration signal by using a trained hidden Markov model. The facial vibration signal is collected by a vibration sensor arranged on glasses. The vibration signal is processed by: amplifying the collected facial vibration signal; transmitting the amplified facial vibration signal to the smart device via a wireless module; and intercepting a section from the received facial vibration signal as an effective portion and extracting the Mel-frequency cepstral coefficient from the effective portion by the smart device.

Various aspects include wearable audio devices with through-hinge wiring configurations. In particular aspects, a wearable audio device includes a hinge coupling a first section and one additional section; and a cable extending through the hinge. In various implementations, the hinge is overmolded on the cable and includes: a body defining a cavity accommodating the cable with a first opening to a pathway in the first section, and a second opening to an additional pathway in the one additional section; an insert within the body and adjacent the first opening, the insert defining a minimum radius of a bend in the cable within the cavity; a hinge mechanism contained within the body; and a cable management feature contained within the body, wherein the hinge mechanism, cable management feature and cable are all located in a common plane that is radially oriented relative to the primary axis of the hinge mechanism.
