Abstract

An eyewear wearable includes an eyewear frame, a lens integrated into the eyewear frame, a display integrated with the lens, an intelligent control housing mounted at a behind-the-ear portion of the eyewear frame, an intelligent control with graphics support mounted within the intelligent control housing, a near field magnetic induction transceiver disposed within the intelligent control housing for communicating with an earpiece, the near field magnetic induction transceiver operatively connected to the intelligent control, and a cable between the intelligent control housing and the display.

Claims

1. An eyewear wearable comprising:

an eyewear frame;

a lens integrated into the eyewear frame;

a display integrated with the lens;

an intelligent control housing mounted at a behind-the-ear portion of the eyewear frame;

an intelligent control with graphics support mounted within the intelligent control housing;

a near field magnetic induction transceiver disposed within the intelligent control housing for communicating with an earpiece, the near field magnetic induction transceiver operatively connected to the intelligent control;

a cable between the intelligent control housing and the display.

2. The eyewear wearable of claim 1 further comprising a memory disposed within the intelligent control housing and operatively connected to the intelligent control and content stored within the memory.

3. The eyewear wearable of claim 2 wherein the content comprises subtitles.

4. The eyewear wearable of claim 1 wherein the lens is a transparent lens.

5. The eyewear wearable of claim 1 wherein the lens is a tinted lens.

6. The eyewear wearable of claim 1 wherein the lens is a polarized lens.

7. The eyewear wearable of claim 1 wherein the intelligent control housing is a clip-on intelligent control housing and wherein the cable is a tape-on cable thereby allowing the clip-on intelligent control housing and the tape-on cable to be removed.

8. A system comprising:

an eyewear wearable comprising (1) an eyewear frame, (2) a lens integrated into the eyewear frame, (3) a display integrated with the lens, (4) an intelligent control housing mounted at a behind-the-ear portion of the eyewear frame, (5) an intelligent control with graphics support mounted within the intelligent control housing, (6) a near field magnetic induction transceiver disposed within the intelligent control housing for communicating with an earpiece, the near field magnetic induction transceiver operatively connected to the intelligent control, and (7) a cable between the intelligent control housing and the display;

an earpiece comprising an earpiece housing, an intelligent control disposed within the earpiece, and a near field magnetic induction transceiver operatively connected to the intelligent control;

wherein the earpiece and the eyewear wearable are configured to communicate there between using the near field magnetic induction transceiver of the eyewear wearable and the near field magnetic induction transceiver of the earpiece.

9. The system of claim 8 further comprising a memory disposed within the intelligent control housing and operatively connected to the intelligent control and content stored within the memory.

10. The system of claim 9 wherein the content comprises subtitles.

11. The eyewear wearable of claim 9 wherein the intelligent control housing is a clip-on intelligent control housing and wherein the cable is a tape-on cable thereby allowing the clip-on intelligent control housing and the tape-on cable to be removed.

12. The system of claim 8 wherein the lens is a transparent lens.

13. The system of claim 8 wherein the lens is a tinted lens.

14. The system of claim 8 wherein the lens is a polarized lens.
