Digital eyewear
First Claim
1. Eyewear includinga frame member;
- circuitry coupled to the frame member, disposed to enhance use of the eyewear;
an eye sensor coupled to the frame member, the eye sensor disposed to activate the circuitry in response to a sequence of two or more eye voluntary eye gestures by a user, using activity of the eye itself of a user;
wherein the eye sensor is responsive to voluntary eye gestures by the user without presentation of an image for the user to review;
wherein each voluntary eye gesture includes one or more of;
intentional blinking more than once in succession, facial and eye movements, squinting, or combinations of intentional blinking and facial or eye movements;
wherein the circuitry provides one or more functions of;
receiving, recording, playing, or presenting, audio information.
