Abstract
The present disclosure relates to systems, devices and methods for eyeglasses frames and eyeglasses frames assemblies for wearable electronic devices, and particularly relates to systems, devices, and methods that employ an antenna in eyeglasses frames and eyeglasses frames assemblies for wearable heads-up displays. In an embodiment, a pair of eyeglasses includes a first arm housing a radio and an antenna passing internally from the radio to at least a portion of a front eyeglass frame, which includes a first and second rim securely physically coupled by a bridge. A power source is coupled to the first arm or a second arm and electrically coupled to the radio via an electrically conductive path.
Claims16
An apparatus, comprising:
- a front eyeglass frame, including:
- a first rim, a second rim, and a bridge connecting the first rim with the second rim;
- a first arm coupled to the first rim;
- a radio housed by the first arm;
- a second arm coupled to the second rim;
- circuitry communicatively coupleable to a power source, the circuitry housed by the second arm;
- a first electrically conductive path that electrically couples the radio to the circuitry, the first electrically conductive path extending along a portion of the second rim, the bridge, and a portion of the first rim;
- and
- an antenna communicatively coupled to the radio, the antenna extending along at least a portion of the first rim.
