1. A method for operating a pair of eyeglasses having wireless communication circuitry and at least one operation indicator, said method comprising:
- monitoring, via electronic circuitry at least partially embedded in the glasses, the wireless communication circuitry to determine an operational condition of the wireless communication circuitry; and
controlling, by the electronic circuitry, the at least one operation indicator based on the operational condition of the wireless communication circuitry as determined by said monitoring,wherein the operational condition Indicates at least whether the wireless communication circuitry is in use,wherein the electronic circuitry further couples to at least one sensor,wherein said method further comprises receiving sensor information from the at least one sensor, the sensor being operable to provide sensor information that pertains to a physical condition of the user, andwherein said controlling operates to control the at least one operation indicator based on the sensor information and based on the operational condition of the wireless communication circuitry.
