Unitized, Vision-Controlled, Wireless Eyeglasses Transceiver
First Claim
1. A self-contained, head-mountable, vision-controlled device, comprising:
- a head-mountable frame configured to hold a lens in front of an eye of a user;
an eye-tracking sensor positioned to track movement of one or both eyes of the user;
an image capturing device positioned on said frame;
a processor programmed to execute eye tracking executable code and control executable code, and to process images captured by the image capturing device;
an optical system configured to render a visual display viewable by the user, said optical system positioned in front of an eye of the user; and
a wireless transceiver in communication with the processor,wherein the processor is programmed to;
track motion of an eye of the user using the eye-tracking sensor, process eye motion to determine whether the user desires to capture an image, and, if the eye motion indicates that the user desires to capture an image;
activate the image capturing device to capture an image, process the image, and transmit the image to a recipient using the wireless transceiver.

Abstract
A device allowing a user to inconspicuously send and receive wireless messages, often short text messages, including the capability to capture and transmit still images and/or video. The device may have an outward appearance resembling standard eyeglasses or sun glasses, and comprise a built in wireless transceiver, an optical display that enables the user to inconspicuously view incoming wireless text or e-mail messages, and an outwardly-facing image/video capturing device. The device allows the user to inconspicuously transmit outgoing messages, including still images and videos in one embodiment, by a process in which the user simply moves his or her eyes and gazes at various display targets. The device'"'"'s eye tracking systems and software track the motion and gaze of the user'"'"'s eyes, and convert this gaze into message symbols and system control commands. The device is self-contained and operates, when placed on the user'"'"'s head, without the need for external battery packs or external transceivers.
