Systems, apparatus, and methods for using eyewear, or other wearable item, to confirm the identity of an individual

A system for facilitating the correct identity of an individual, said system comprising computerized eyewear comprising:

• a. a frame portion that is adapted for supporting at least one lens, the frame portion defining a first lateral side and a second lateral side;
• b. a first temple attached adjacent the first lateral side, the first temple being mounted to extend, at least selectively, rearwardly away from the frame portion so that a distal portion of the first temple may engage a first ear of a wearer of the eyewear to at least partially support the eyewear while the eyewear is being worn adjacent the wearer's face;
• c. a second temple attached adjacent the second lateral side, the second temple being mounted to extend, at least selectively, rearwardly away from the frame portion so that a distal portion of the second temple may engage a second ear of the wearer to at least partially support the eyewear while the eyewear is being worn adjacent the wearer's face;
• d. one or more processors coupled to one of the frame, the first temple or the second temple;
• e. one or more sensors operatively coupled to the one or more processors and coupled to at least one of the frame, the first temple or the second temple;
• and
• f. at least one electronic communications device operatively coupled to the one or more processors and adapted to broadcast a wireless signal comprising a unique identifier associated with a particular individual wearing the eyewear,
• wherein the wireless signal is configured to be received by a remote computer system that uses the unique identifier to compare to a stored identifier for the particular individual so that the remote computer system can allow the particular individual access to one of the remote computer system, a secure area associated with the remote computer system, or a payment system associated with the remote computer system.

A system for facilitating the correct identity of an individual, said system comprising:

• a. a computerized temple for use with eyewear, the computerized temple comprising:
• i. an elongated body having a first end configured to couple to an eyewear frame and a second end configured to rest on an ear of the wearer;
• ii. one or more processors received in the elongated body;
• iii. one or more sensors operatively coupled to the one or more processors and received in the elongated body;
• and
• iv. one or more electronic communication devices operatively coupled to the one or more processors, received in the elongated body, and adapted to broadcast a wireless signal comprising a unique identifier associated with a particular individual wearing the eyewear,
• wherein the wireless signal is configured to be received by a remote computer system that uses the unique identifier to compare to a stored identifier for the particular individual so that the remote computer system can allow the particular individual access to one of the remote computer system, a secure area associated with the remote computer system, or a payment system associated with the remote computer system.
