Abstract

There is disclosed a glass type terminal including a band frame comprising a front portion located over a user'"'"'s eyes and a side portion extended toward both ears from the front portion to be worn on the user'"'"'s head, a first housing located in one end of the band frame, in which a first control unit is mounted, a second housing located in the other end of the band frame, in which a battery is mounted, a third housing coupled to a lateral surface of the band frame, adjacent to the front portion, in which a second control unit is mounted, a front housing coupled to the third housing by a hinge frontward, and a transparent display coupled to the front housing to be located in front of the user'"'"'s eyes. Accordingly, the right and left weights of the glass type terminal are balanced such that the glass type terminal may be worn stably, when worn on the user'"'"'s face.

Claims

1. A glass type terminal comprising:

a band frame comprising a front portion located over a user'"'"'s eyes and a side portion extended toward both ears from the front portion to be worn on the user'"'"'s head;

a first housing located in one end of the band frame, in which a first control unit is mounted;

a second housing located in the other end of the band frame, in which a battery is mounted;

a third housing coupled to a lateral surface of the band frame, adjacent to the front portion, in which a second control unit is mounted;

a front housing coupled to the third housing by a hinge frontward; and

a transparent display coupled to the front housing to be located in front of the user'"'"'s eyes,

wherein the band frame comprises a first frame forming an outer portion thereof and a second frame forming an inner portion thereof, and

wherein one or more of the first and second frames are formed of a metallic material, and the metallic frame is an antenna for transmitting an electromagnetic signal by receiving an electric power.

2. The glass type terminal of claim 1, wherein the first housing or the second housing comprises an input/output port for being provided with data or an electric power.

3. The glass type terminal of claim 2, further comprising:

an auxiliary battery comprising one end inserted in the input/output port and the other end coupled to the first housing or the second housing where the input/output port is not formed, to apply an electric current through the input/output port.

4. The glass type terminal of claim 1, wherein the first housing further comprises an ear jack.

5. The glass type terminal of claim 1, wherein the hinge of the front housing comprises an angle limiting portion.

6. The glass type terminal of claim 1, wherein the third housing comprises a touch sensor.

7. The glass type terminal of claim 6, wherein the second control unit operates a shutter of a camera of the glasses type terminal when recognizing that the user touches the touch sensor and the touch disappears after that.

8. The glass type terminal of claim 1, wherein the band frame further comprises a cable passage formed between the first frame and the second frame.

9. The glass type terminal of claim 8, wherein a flexible printed circuit board for transmitting a signal between a first control unit and a second control unit and a power cable provided from a battery to the first control unit and the second control unit are mounted in the cable passage.

10. The glass type terminal of claim 1, wherein the metallic frame which is the antenna includes one or more bent portions to transmit a signal in two or more bandwidths.

11. The glass type terminal of claim 1, wherein a weight of the second housing is larger than or the same as a weight of the first housing.

12. The glass type terminal of claim 1, wherein a weight of the first housing is larger than a weight of the third housing and the weight of the front housing.

13. A glass type terminal comprising:

a band frame comprising a front portion located over a user'"'"'s eyes and a side portion extended toward both ears from the front portion to be worn on the user'"'"'s head;

a first housing located in one end of the band frame, in which a first control unit is mounted;

a second housing located in the other end of the band frame, in which a battery is mounted;

a third housing coupled to a lateral surface of the band frame, adjacent to the front portion, in which a second control unit is mounted;

a front housing coupled to the third housing by a hinge frontward;

a transparent display coupled to the front housing to be located in front of the user'"'"'s eyes;

an input/output port located at the first housing or the second housing for being provided with data or an electric power; and

an auxiliary battery including one end inserted in the input/output port and the other end coupled to the first housing or the second housing where the input/output port is not formed, to apply an electric current through the input/output port.
