Wearable device with input and output structures
First Claim
1. An electronic device, comprising:
- a frame configured to be worn on the head of a user, the frame including a bridge configured to be supported on the nose of the user, a brow portion having a body coupled to and extending away from the bridge to a first end remote therefrom and configured to be positioned over a first side of a brow of the user, and a first arm having a first end coupled to the first end of the brow portion and extending to a free end, the body including a flange along at least a portion thereof, and the first end of the brow portion including a first wall substantially perpendicular to the flange, the flange and the first wall together defining a receiving portion, and the first arm being configured to be positioned over a first temple of the user with the free end disposed near a first ear of the user, wherein the bridge includes a pair of bridge arms that are substantially longitudinal and extend toward a nose of the user, each bridge arm having a nose pad configured to rest on a nose of the user, wherein each of the bridge arms are deformably bendable and repositionable relative to the bridge such that the bridge arms are adapted to move closer together, farther apart, or fore and aft;
a generally transparent display;
means for affixing the display to the frame such that display is moveable with respect to the frame through rotation about a first axis that extends parallel to the first brow portion, the display being positioned adjacent the receiving portion of the brow portion; and
an input device affixed to the frame and configured to receive from the user an input associated with a function, wherein information related to the function is presentable on the display.

Abstract
An electronic device including a frame configured to be worn on the head of a user is disclosed. The frame can include a bridge configured to be supported on the nose of the user and a brow portion coupled to and extending away from the bridge and configured to be positioned over a side of a brow of the user. The frame can further include an arm coupled to the brow portion and extending to a free end. The first arm can be positionable over a temple of the user with the free end disposed near an ear of the user. The device can also include a transparent display affixed to the frame adjacent the brow portion and an input affixed to the frame and configured for receiving from the user an input associated with a function. Information related to the function can be presentable on the display.
