Systems, apparatus, and methods for using eyewear, or other wearable item, to confirm the identity of an individual
First Claim
1. Eyewear for confirming the identity of a wearer of the eyewear, the eyewear comprising:
- a frame portion having a first lateral side, a second lateral side, an upper surface and a lower surface, the frame portion comprising;
a first lens retaining portion that is adapted to support a first lens adjacent a first eye of the wearer when the wearer is operatively wearing the eyewear;
a second lens retaining portion that is adapted to support a second lens adjacent a second eye of the wearer when the wearer is operatively wearing the eyewear; and
a first temple that is attached adjacent the frame'"'"'s first lateral side and that is adapted to extend between the first lateral side and an upper portion of a first ear of the wearer when the wearer is operatively wearing the eyewear;
at least one biometric sensor that is adapted for;
taking a biometric reading from the wearer when the wearer is operatively wearing the eyewear; and
transmitting the results of the biometric reading to one or more computer processors for use in determining whether the wearer is a particular individual; and
one or more computer processors adapted for;
at least partially in response to determining that the wearer is the particular individual, facilitating the transmission of at least one signal to a remote computer indicating that the wearer is the particular individual, wherein the signal enables the wearer to gain access to the remote computer.

Abstract
Eyewear, according to various embodiments, comprises at least one biometric sensor that is adapted for taking a biometric reading from the wearer when the wearer is operatively wearing the eyewear and for transmitting the results of the biometric reading to one or more computer processors for use in determining whether the wearer is a particular individual. The one or more processors may be embodied within the eyewear, and the eyewear may also include a wireless communications device for transmitting a signal (e.g., to a remote computing device) that confirms the identity of the wearer as the particular individual. A remote computing device, or other device, or individual, may then, based at least in part on receiving the signal, grant wearer access to a computer program, computing system, and/or a particular physical space.
