Abstract
A wireless headlight assembly for attachment to an eyewear frame is disclosed. The wireless headlight assembly comprises a battery pod containing a battery connected to an electronic circuit element, which controls the application of power from the battery to an attached headlight assembly containing a headlight, wherein control of the application of power to the headlight assembly is determined, in part, based on the stability of the headlight assembly.
Claims18
A headlight assembly comprising:
- a battery configured to output a voltage;
- a lighting element comprising a light source;
- an electronic circuit comprising;
- a sensing element;
- a motion detector;
- and
- a switch, wherein said electronic circuit is configured to:
- receive the voltage from the battery;
- receive, from said sensing element, an indication of a detection of a signal,
- receive, from said motion detector, an indication of motion, wherein said indication of motion is one of:
- motion and no motion, and
- control said switch to retain a current application of said voltage to said light source in response to said indication of motion being one of motion independent of said indication of said detection of said signal.
9 more elements
A headlight assembly comprising:
- a battery pod comprising a battery configured to output a voltage;
- an electronic assembly attached to the battery pod, said electronic assembly comprising:
- a position detecting unit configured to:
- determine an orientation of the headlight assembly;
- a sensing element configured to:
- generate an indication of a detection of a signal;
- a motion detector configured to:
- determine a motion of said headlight assembly, and
- a processor configured to:
- receive at least one of:
- said determination of said orientation of said headlight assembly, said indication of said detection of said signal and said determination of said motion of said headlight assembly;
- and
- control an application of the voltage to a light source in response to said received at least one of:
- said detection of said signal, said determination of motion, and said orientation of said headlight assembly, wherein said application of said voltage to said light source is one of:
- removed from said light source in response to said determination of said orientation being outside a desired range, independent of said indication of motion and said indication of detection of said signal,
- retained in response to said determination of said motion independent of said indication of said detection of said signal, and
- altered in response to said indication of said detection of said signal.
14 more elements
A headlight assembly comprising:
- a housing comprising:
- a light source;
- a battery configured to:
- provide a voltage to the light source;
- a sensing element comprising:
- a transmitter configured to transmit an IR signal;
- and
- a detector configured to detect a reflection of said transmitted IR signal, wherein said sensing element is configured to:
- generate an indication of the detection of the reflection of the transmitted IR signal;
- a motion detector configured to:
- determine a motion of said headlight assembly, and
- generate an indication of one of:
- motion and no-motion;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- receive said indication of said detection of said reflection of said transmitted IR signal;
- receive said indication of one of:
- motion and no-motion;
- and
- control an application of the voltage from the battery to the light source, wherein said application of said voltage to the light source is one of:
- retained in response to said received indication being one of motion, and
- altered in response to said indication of said detection of said transmitted IR signal and said received indication being of no motion.
