Contact lenses
First Claim
1. A device, comprising:
- a contact lens comprising a transparent substrate formed to cover a structure of an eye; and
a circuit comprising;
one or more light sensors disposed on or within the transparent substrate and configured to detect light reflected from the structure of the eye and incident on the one or more light sensors; and
readout circuitry, operably coupled to the one or more light sensors, configured to output information indicative of the light reflected from the structure of the eye and incident on the one or more light sensors.

Abstract
Apparatus, systems and methods for facilitating iris-scanning contact lenses and/or biometric identification employing iris scanning contact lenses are provided. In one implementation, the contact lens can include: a transparent substrate formed to cover at least a portion of an iris of an eye; and a circuit. The circuit can include: one or more light sensors disposed on or within the transparent substrate and that detects light filtered through the iris and incident on the one or more light sensors; readout circuitry, operably coupled to the one or more light sensors, that outputs information indicative of the light filtered through the iris and incident on the one or more light sensors; and a power component that supplies power to the readout circuitry. In various implementations, the contact lens can be employed in systems and/or methods associated with authentication and identification.

10. A method, comprising:
-
detecting, at one or more light sensors disposed on or within a transparent substrate of a contact lens covering a structure of an eye, light reflected from the structure of the eye, wherein the light reflected from the structure of the eye comprises image data indicative of a pattern associated with the structure of the eye; and outputting a fingerprint based in part on the image data. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A method, comprising:
-
receiving a first fingerprint from a device, wherein the device comprises a contact lens comprising a transparent substrate covering a structure of an eye, wherein the first fingerprint is generated by readout circuitry in the transparent substrate based on a pattern based on light reflected from the structure of the eye and incident on one or more light sensors in the transparent substrate; receiving a second fingerprint; comparing the first fingerprint with the second fingerprint; and determining whether a biometric match exists between the first fingerprint and the second fingerprint based, at least, on the comparing. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
