Communication eyewear assembly with zone of safety capability
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 data signal from at least one source of data;
said processor structured to utilize said data to generate zone of safety information corresponding to a physical zone of safety, said physical zone of safety defining a physical boundary in least one spatial dimension relative to a hazardous area;
said processor further structured to communicate said zone of safety information to at least the wearer.

Abstract
A communication eyewear assembly is configured to identify a zone of safety about a wearer and to notify the wearer and/or others of same. A frame assembly is worn to maintain at least one transparent eye panel in front of the wearer'"'"'s eyes. A processor coupled to the frame assembly receives incoming data from at least one data source. Utilizing the received data, the processor generates zone of safety information in least one spatial dimension relative to a hazardous area. The assembly can also determine existence of extraordinary circumstances based on changes or lack of changes in the data, and notify the wearer and/or others of same, particularly with regard to the status of the wearer. In accordance with the monitoring of the wearer and/or the communication eyewear itself, a unique ID is assigned to the communication eyewear assembly.

23. 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 data signal from at least one source of data; said processor structured to utilize said data to generate zone of safety information corresponding to a physical zone of safety, said physical zone of safety defining a physical boundary in least one spatial dimension relative to a hazardous area; said processor further structured to communicate said zone of safety information to the wearer and/or at least one remote device; at least one display unit disposed in communication with said processor and structured to visually display a representation of said zone of safety to the wearer; said processor further structured to determine existence of an extraordinary circumstance based on changes or lack of changes in said data, and further structured to notify the wearer and/or at least one remote device of same; a unique ID feature structured to communicate with a personal communication device of the wearer and/or remote devices; and at least one earpiece disposed in 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 an incoming audio signal to the wearer, said at least one earpiece further structured to substantially muffle ambient noise, wherein at least a portion of said at least one earpiece is structured to be inserted into the wearer'"'"'s ear so as to substantially muffle ambient noise. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32)
