Abstract

The embodiments herein provide an eyewear with an improved structure for temple. The eyewear comprises a cellular communication module and a push button mounted in the pair of temples. The cellular communication module is configured to provide wireless communication between the eyewear and a computing device for tracking GPS location coordinates of the eyewear. The eyewear is tracked by the computing device using an identification number programmed in the cellular communication module. The eyewear is tracked by identifying GPS location coordinates of the eyewear using an eyewear detecting application in the computing device. Further, the push button is configured to make emergency calls to a plurality of emergency contact numbers programmed in the cellular communication module. The push button enables to make an emergency call during an emergency occurred to the user of the eyewear.

Claims

1. An eyewear/eye glass frame structure comprising:

a first pocket provided in a first temple, and wherein the first pocket is formed with a first pair of removable covers;

a second pocket provided in a second temple, and wherein the second pocket is formed with a second pair of removable covers;

a cellular communication module mounted in the first pocket provided in the first temple, and wherein the cellular communication module comprises a wireless communication module configured to provide wireless communication between the eyewear and a computing device for tracking GPS location coordinates of the eyewear;

a push button embedded in the first temple, and wherein the push button is configured to generate emergency calls through the cellular communication module to a plurality of emergency contact numbers during an emergency, and wherein the plurality of emergency contact numbers is stored in the cellular communication module, wherein the emergency calls are made by pressing the push button for two seconds;

a battery housed inside the second pocket provided in the second temple, and wherein the battery is configured for supplying electrical power to the cellular communication module and the push button;

wherein the first pair of removable covers are provided for removing the cellular communication module and push button for maintenance, wherein the second pair of removable covers are provided for replacing the battery.

2. The eyewear structure according to claim 1, wherein the eyewear is tracked by the computing device using an identification number programmed in the cellular communication module.

3. The eyewear structure according to claim 1, wherein the eyewear is tracked by identifying GPS location coordinates of the eyewear with an identification number of the cellular communication module through an eyewear detecting application, and wherein the eyewear detecting application is installed in the computing device.
