Communication eyewear assembly
First Claim
1. A communication eyewear assembly comprising:
- a frame assembly;
at least one substantially transparent eye panel coupled to said frame assembly;
said frame assembly structured to be supportably disposed on a wearer so as to maintain said at least one eye panel disposed in front of a wearer'"'"'s eye;
a processor coupled to said frame assembly, said processor structured and disposed to receive an incoming audio signal;
at least one earpiece disposed in wireless communication with said processor and further structured to be disposed in operative proximity to the at least one of the wearer'"'"'s ears;
said at least one earpiece comprising a speaker assembly structured and disposed to audibly communicate said incoming audio signal to the wearer;
said at least one earpiece further comprising a rechargeable earpiece power supply structured and disposed to provide power to at least said speaker assembly, and wherein said earpiece and said frame assembly are structured to be secured to one another to define a stored orientation and are cooperatively structured to charge said rechargeable earpiece power supply when said at least one earpiece is disposed in said stored orientation;
said processor further structured to transmit said incoming audio signal to said at least one earpiece;
an outbound microphone assembly disposed and structured to pick up an outbound audio signal from the wearer and transmit said outbound audio signal to said processor; and
said processor further structured and disposed to transmit said outbound signal.

Abstract
A frame assembly worn to maintain at least one transparent eye panel in front of a wearer'"'"'s eyes. A processor receives an incoming audio signal and wirelessly transmits it to an earpiece which audibly communicates the incoming signal to the wearer. An outbound microphone assembly picks up an outbound audio signal from the wearer and transmits it to the processor which transmits it to a remote recipient. An ambient microphone assembly picks up an ambient audio signal and transmits it to the processor. The processor is structured to enhance the incoming and/or the outbound audio signal based on the ambient audio signal. The processor transmits a voice component of the ambient audio signal to the earpiece. A camera assembly picks up an outbound visual signal and transmits it to the processor which further transmits it to a remote recipient. A display assembly displays an incoming visual signal.

15. A communication eyewear assembly comprising:
-
a frame assembly; at least one substantially transparent eye panel coupled to said frame assembly; said frame assembly structured to be supportably disposed on a wearer so as to maintain said at least one eye panel disposed in a viewable position in front of the wearer'"'"'s eyes; a processor coupled to said frame assembly, said processor structured and disposed to receive an incoming audio signal; at least one earpiece structured to be disposed in data communication with said processor and further structured to be at least partially disposed at one of the wearer'"'"'s ears; said processor structured to transmit said incoming audio signal to said at least one earpiece; said at least one earpiece further comprising a speaker assembly structured and disposed to audibly communicate said enhanced incoming audio signal to the wearer; said at least one earpiece including a clip structured to secure said at least one earpiece to said frame assembly at least when said frame assembly is in a stored orientation; said frame assembly structured to be selectively coupled to an external power source to define said stored orientation; and a rechargeable earpiece power supply structured and disposed to provide power said at least one earpiece, said earpiece and said frame assembly cooperatively structured to charge said rechargeable earpiece power supply when said at least one earpiece is secured by said clip to said frame assembly and said frame assembly is in said stored orientation.

16. A communication eyewear assembly comprising:
-
a frame assembly; at least one substantially transparent eye panel coupled to said frame assembly; said frame assembly structured to be supportably disposed on a wearer so as to maintain said at least one eye panel disposed in a generally shielding position relative to the wearer'"'"'s eyes; a processor coupled to said frame assembly, said processor structured and disposed to receive an incoming audio signal; at least one earpiece including a speaker assembly structured to be disposed in wireless communication with said processor and further structured to be disposed at one of the wearer'"'"'s ears; and said at least one earpiece further comprising a rechargeable earpiece power supply structured and disposed to provide power to at least said speaker assembly, and wherein said earpiece and said frame assembly are cooperatively structured to charge said rechargeable earpiece power supply when said at least one speaker assembly is disposed in a stored orientation connected to said frame assembly.
