EYEWEAR SUPPORTING EMBEDDED ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS

摘要

Techniques for providing eyewear with electrical components are disclosed. The electrical components can provide electrical technology to eyewear (e.g., eyeglasses) without having to substantially compromise aesthetic design principles of the eyewear. Often, the electrical components can be attached to the eyewear as an after-market enhancement. The electrical components can operate independently or together with other electrical components provided elsewhere.

主权项

1. An eyewear frame, comprising:
a front section; at least one side section having at least a rearward portion; a battery embedded in the rearward portion of the at least one side section; a flexible circuit board embedded in or coupled to the at least one side section; an integrated circuit mounted on the flexible circuit board and electrically interconnected with the battery; and a sensor embedded in the eyewear frame and electrically connected to the flexible circuit board.
