FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a preferred embodiment of a pair of smart glasses 10 , which is composed of a frame 11 , a set of temples 16 and two pivot structures 17 .

Wherein, the spectacle frame 11 is like ordinary spectacles, and two spectacle frames 13 are connected on both sides of a nose bridge frame 12 , and a nose pad 15 of each spectacle frame 13 is just below the nose bridge frame 12 . The two lenses 14 are installed in the corresponding frame 13, each lens 14 is a lens, and the lens has a diopter, so the lens 14 can correct vision problems such as myopia, hyperopia or amblyopia. If the diopter is zero, it means that the lens 14 has no vision correction function. In some embodiments, the lens 14 is a tinted lens, or a photochromic lens, to prevent a wavelength (eg, ultraviolet) from damaging the eyes.

An end of the temple 16 facing the frame 11 is defined as a front section 161 , and the front section 161 is connected to a rear section 163 through a middle section 162 . The tail section 163 forms a curved portion 164 at the other end of the temple 16 adjacent to the middle section 162 .

In this embodiment, the curved part 164 is divided into two parts, so that a part of the temple 16 is from the front section 161 to the middle section 162 , and the rest part is a clutch part 165 independently. The clutch portion 165 can be separated from the temple 16 and used together, so that the temple 16 becomes a combined structure.

In some embodiments, it is also within the permissible range of the present invention that the combined structure is separated into at least one clutch portion 165 from other parts of the temple 16 . For example, the middle section 162 is divided into two parts, and the partial middle section 162 cooperates with the front section 161 to become a part of the temple 16, and the remaining part of the middle section 162 forms an independent clutch section 165 through the bending part 164 to the tail section 163, which can also be combined to form an independent clutch part 165. Combined structure.

The pivoting structure 17 is like a hinge, a part of the hinge is fixed on the inner side of the front section 161 , and the rest of the hinge is fixed on the mirror frame 13 . In other words, the group of temples 16 are connected to both sides of the mirror frame 11 through the pivot structure 17 . Taking the pivot structure 17 as an axis, the group of temples 16 (including the clutch portion 165 ) swings back and forth relative to the frame 11 in an open position and a folded position.

When in the open position (see FIG. 1 ), the set of temples 16 is standing beside the frame 11 in a substantially parallel manner, which is convenient for a user (not shown in the figure) to wear the smart glasses 10 . During wearing, the curved portion 164 of the temple 16 cooperates with the tail section 163 to hook the ears to prevent the smart glasses 10 from leaving the user. The two nose pads 15 are pressed against both sides of the user's nose and support the frame 11 so that the two frames 13 are just in front of the eyes.

In the folded position (refer to FIG. 5 ), the group of temples 16 are staggered with each other, thereby reducing the volume of the smart glasses 10 .

As shown in FIG. 2 , the front section 161 is made of plastic titanium (also known as super-elastic memory resin) material, and has a strong partial pivot structure 17 .

The middle section 162 is decomposed into a main shell 24 and a main board 25. The main shell 24 is a container made of non-conductive material. One end of the container is combined with the front section 161, and the other end has a partial shape of a curved portion 164. The main board 25 is in conformity with the shape of the main shell 24 , and the two are combined by hot melt or glue, so as to install a smart structure 20 . In addition, a sensing area 21 (see FIG. 1 ) on the outside of the main shell 24 is formed with a concave portion 26 corresponding to the inside of the main shell 24 , and the concave portion 26 faces the smart structure 20 . The main board 25 forms an output hole 22 and an input hole 23 just facing the other side of the smart structure 20 .

Through an electronic circuit, the smart structure 20 is electrically connected with a plurality of electronic components to achieve the smart effect of the entire pair of glasses. The electronic circuit includes but is not limited to: a substrate 31 and at least one conductive wire, the substrate 31 generally refers to a PCB or PWB printed circuit board, one or more circuits are etched on the side of the circuit board, and the circuit connects the wire and the electronic circuit. element.

These electronic components are known and recombined, including but not limited to: processing unit 32, switches, microphone 34, speaker 35, voice operation unit 36, transceiver unit 37, resistors, capacitors, inductors, transistors, diodes, Logic gates, operational amplifiers, semiconductors and passive and active components, etc.

The transceiver unit 37 is an antenna, which receives and transmits a signal according to one of the wireless communication technology standards such as Internet, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Said signals may come from communication equipment, including but not limited to generic data, image data, audio data or call invitations.

The voice operation unit 36 is an application software installed in the processing unit 32 , such as an intelligent personal assistant software (Software Agent). Through the processing unit 32 and the transceiver unit 37, the voice operation unit 36 interacts with the user according to the preset value, and can not only search for information on the Internet, but also respond to the user's request through voice, such as asking the user to answer, hang up disconnect or reject the call.

The loudspeaker 35 is a loudspeaker, and the loudspeaker is adjacent to the output hole 22 to convert the electronic signal into sound and output it to the outside of the main casing 24 .

The microphone 34 is a microphone, which faces the input hole 23 , receives the user's voice, converts it into an electronic signal, and transmits it to the processing unit 32 .

The processing unit 32 is a programmable semiconductor integrated circuit chip, a central processing unit or a microprocessor, and is responsible for logic operations and operation control of general data (including image data and audio data) according to signals. Therefore, through the signals received or transmitted by the transceiver unit 37 , the processing unit 32 can manipulate the smart structures 20 of the two temples 16 to perform the same or different operation contents.

As shown in FIG. 3 , the switch 33 is on the backside of the substrate 31 , just facing the recess 26 of the main case 24 . In this embodiment, the switch 33 is a touch switch or an inductive switch, which determines whether the electronic circuit is closed or open.

When the circuit is closed, the electronic circuit is energized, so the processing unit 32 receives, transmits, and operates according to logic, and issues commands to other electronic components of the intelligent structure 20 . When open, the electronic circuit is de-energized, and the processing unit 32 and even the entire smart structure 20 cannot be used. Or the processing unit 32 transmits or executes other signals or operations according to the touch time of the switch 33 and the number of taps.

Looking back at FIG. 1 , the user is in the environment of the wireless network 50 , and can use the smart glasses 10 to contact at least one remote communication device 52 , such as a smart phone. It is assumed that the user's finger touching the sensing area 21 is sufficient to activate the smart structure 20 to perform a certain predetermined operation, or even close the smart structure 20 .

For example, when the communication device 52 contacts the user via the wireless network 50 . The user operates the intelligent structure 20 to choose to answer, hang up or reject the call based on the duration of the touch in the sensing area 21 or the number of taps on the sensing area 21 . When answering the call, the communication device 52 transmits the voice of the other party to the output hole 22 of the temple 16 via the wireless network 50, so that the user's ears can hear it clearly. When speaking, the input hole 23 of the temple 16 receives the user's voice, and transmits it to the communication device 52 via the intelligent structure 20 and the wireless network 50, so that the other party's ear can hear the user's voice. In addition, the user interacts with the voice assistant through the voice operation mode, and operates the intelligent structure 20 to choose to listen to a piece of music, or to change the listening channel.

It is not difficult to understand from Figures 1, 2 and 4 that the clutch portion 165 (ie the tail section 163) is decomposed into a sub-shell 27 and a sub-plate 28. The sub-shell 27 is also a container made of non-conductive material. It has a functional shape from the curved part 164 to the tail section 163 . The shape of the sub-board 28 and the sub-shell 27 match, and they are also combined together by means of hot melt or glue, so as to install a power supply device 40 .

In this embodiment, the power supply device 40 is a rechargeable battery, and the two ends of the rechargeable battery are connected to a plug 41 and a USB (translation name: Universal Serial Bus) connector 42 through a wired connection. The plug 41 is made of a metal multi-section round rod, which is partially fixed on the sub-shell 27 and is shielded by the sub-board 28 , and the rest of the rod is exposed outside the clutch part 165 and serves as the output end of the power supply device 40 . The sub-board 28 shields the power supply device 40 and the USB connection socket 42 in the sub-shell 27 . The USB connection socket 42 is at the end of the clutch part 165 and serves as the input end of the power supply device 40 .

In use, the clutch part 165 has the following advantages:

In terms of the combined structure, the part of the plug 41 exposed from the clutch part 165 can be inserted into a socket 43 of the base plate 31 . The socket 43 is installed in an opening surrounded by the main board 25 and the main shell 24 , so the socket 43 receives the plug 41 and supports the clutch part 165 as a part of the temple 16 , and the two are used together. Of course, when the plug 41 is pulled out of the socket 43 and the clutch part 165 is away from the temple 16, it can be used alone, such as charging.

In terms of power supply, the socket 43 is electrically connected to the smart structure 20 via the circuit of the substrate 31 . Therefore, the plug 41 is combined with the socket 43 so that the power supply device 40 can supply the power required by the smart structure 20 .

In terms of charging, the power supply device 40 has to choose one of the following ways to supplement the insufficient power:

For example, in the external charging method, a wire 44 is used to connect a USB connector 45 and a power plug 46 together. During charging, the USB connector 45 is connected to the USB connector 42 , and the power plug 46 is combined with an external socket to supplement the insufficient power of the power supply device 40 with external power through the wire 44 .

Alternatively, one charger 60 as shown in FIG. 5 is used, and two induction coils 62 are arranged inside the charger 60 . The charger 60 is connected to external power, which usually generates a magnetic field, and the magnetic field changes to generate an induced current in the induction coil 62 , which is equivalent to physical electromagnetic induction. Therefore, the set of temples 16 are staggered in the folded and folded positions, which is convenient for the smart glasses 10 to be placed on the charger 60 , so that the clutch part 165 is aligned with the induction coil 62 , so the induction current of the induction coil 62 can supplement the insufficient power of the power supply device 40 .

In addition, the clutch portion 165 is pulled away from the temple 16 and placed on the charger 60 alone to perform the "electromagnetic induction" charging operation. The induced current of the induction coil 62 can also supplement the insufficient power of the power supply device 40 .
