Abstract
An eyewear frame (10) comprising: —a central portion (12) configured to receive at least one optical lens (14a, 14 b), —a first temple (16a) having a first embedded electronic device (18a) and a first battery (20a), —a second temple (16b) having a second embedded electronic device (18b) and a second battery (20b), the first temple (16a) is pivotably fixed to a first end (22a) of the central portion (12) and second temple (16b) is pivotably fixed to a second end (22b) of the central portion (12), wherein the first electronic and the second electronic devices (18a, 18b) are configured to communicate in a wireless manner, and the first and second electronic devices (18a, 18b) comprise each a close-range communication system (24a, 24b) configured to synchronize the first and the second electronic devices (18a, 18b).
Claims15
An eyewear frame comprising:
- a central portion configured to receive at least one optical lens,
- a first temple having a first embedded electronic device and a first battery,
- a second temple having a second embedded electronic device and a second battery,
- the first temple is pivotably fixed to a first end of the central portion and the second temple is pivotably fixed to a second end of the central portion,
- wherein the first embedded electronic device and the second embedded electronic device are configured to communicate in a wireless manner, and
- the first embedded electronic device and the second embedded electronic device comprise each a close-range communication system configured to synchronize the first and the second electronic devices,
- wherein the close-range communication systems are configured to allow communications when said communications systems are in contact or quasi-contact, wherein quasi-contact is a separation of a distance of less than 5 mm.
Eyewear for synchronizing embedded electronic devices of an eyewear frame comprising:
- a central portion configured to receive at least one optical lens,
- a first temple having a first embedded electronic device and a first battery,
- a second temple having a second embedded electronic device and a second battery,
- the first temple is pivotably fixed to a first end of the central portion and second temple is pivotably fixed to a second end of the central portion,
- the first embedded electronic device and the second embedded electronic device are configured to communicate in a wireless manner,
- the first embedded electronic device and the second embedded electronic device comprise each a close-range communication system,
- wherein the eyewear is configured to perform:
- activating the close-range communication systems,
- exchanging identifiers of the first electronic device and the second electronic devices via the close-range communication systems, and
- synchronizing the first electronic device and the second electronic device,
- wherein the close-range communication systems are configured to allow communications when said communications systems are in contact or quasi-contact, wherein quasi-contact is a separation of a distance of less than 5 mm.
