Abstract
Improved eyewear is disclosed. The eyewear comprises a frame member and a lens. The eyewear also includes circuitry within the frame member for enhancing the use of the eyewear. A system and method in accordance with the present invention is directed to a variety of ways to enhance the use of eyeglasses. They are: (1) media focals, that is, utilizing the eyewear for its intended purpose and enhancing that use by using imaging techniques to improve the vision of the user; (2) telecommunications enhancements that allow the eyeglasses to be integrated with telecommunication devices such as cell phones or the like; and (3) entertainment enhancements that allow the eyewear to be integrated with devices such as MP3 players, radios, or the like.
Claims23
A method for providing eyewear comprising:
- providing a frame member,
- providing a lens coupled to the frame member, wherein the lens has a set of integrated media enhancements,
- providing circuitry within the frame member for enhancing the use of the eyewear, and
- providing an eye sensor coupled to the frame member, the eye sensor activating the circuitry responsive to activity of the eye itself of a user to directly control a function directed by the user.
A method for providing eyewear comprising:
- providing a frame member;
- providing a lens, wherein an information bar is provided on the lens;
- providing a digital camera;
- providing circuitry within the frame member and coupled to the camera for enhancing the use of the eyewear;
- and
- providing an eye sensor coupled to the frame member, the eye sensor activating the circuitry responsive to activity of the eye itself of a user to directly control a function directed by the user.
A method for providing eyewear comprising:
- providing a frame member;
- providing a lens;
- and
- providing circuitry within the frame member for enhancing the use of the eyewear;
- an eye sensor coupled to the frame member, the eye sensor activating the circuitry responsive to activity of the eye itself of a user to directly control a function directed by the user;
- wherein the circuitry provides for a new eye prescription to be downloaded to the lens.
A method for providing eyewear comprising:
- providing a frame member;
- providing a lens;
- providing circuitry within the frame member for enhancing the use of the eyewear utilizing a client server model;
- and
- providing an eye sensor coupled to the frame member, the eye sensor activating the circuitry responsive to activity of the eye itself of a user to directly control a function directed by the user.
