FACILITATION OF CONTACT LENSES WITH CAPACITIVE SENSORS

摘要

Apparatus, systems and methods employing contact lens with capacitive sensors are provided. In some aspects, a contact lens includes: a substrate; a capacitive sensor, disposed on or within the substrate, that senses a capacitance on the contact lens; and a circuit disposed on or within the substrate. In some aspects, the circuit can include a capacitance analysis component that determines a condition of an eyelid associated with the eye over which the contact lens is disposed and/or a parameter associated with the eye over which the contact lens is disposed. In some aspects, the condition can be a blink of an eyelid. In some aspects, the parameter can be at least one of a pressure of an object in proximity to the contact lens, a thickness or type of a layer of material disposed on or within the contact lens or a composition of material on the contact lens.

1. An apparatus, comprising:
a contact lens, comprising:
a substrate;a capacitive sensor, disposed on or within the substrate, that senses capacitance on the contact lens; anda circuit disposed on or within the substrate that determines information indicative of the capacitance from the capacitive sensor and comprising a capacitance analysis component that determines an amount of pressure applied by an object in proximity to the contact lens based on the sensed capacitance.
