  • Patent number: 10670889
    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems and methods for wearable devices such as eyewear are described. According to one embodiment, the wearable device includes a body, electronics, and a connector. The body is configured to hold one or more optical elements, the body being disposable between a collapsed condition and a wearable condition in which the device is wearable by a user to hold the one or more optical elements within user view. The electronics are carried by the body. The connector is configured to enable establishment of an electrical and/or electronic connection with the electronics via the connector, the connector being housed by the body such that the connector is substantially obscured from view when the body is in the wearable condition, and such that the connector is exposed for connective access when the body is in the collapsed condition.

  • Patent number: 10656660
    Abstract: Systems, devices, media, and methods are presented for detecting and interpreting motion of a device and a remote object to control operations of the device. The systems and methods identify a sensor input within a drone. The sensor input indicates movement of the drone within a three dimensional space. The systems and methods determine one or more movement attributes from the sensor input and, in response to the one or more movement attributes, selects one or more maneuvers corresponding to at least one movement attribute. The system and methods then execute the one or more maneuvers by controlling one or more drone control components to move the drone within the three dimensional space.

  • Patent number: 10514559
    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems and methods for wearable devices such as eyewear are described. According to one embodiment, the wearable device can include a frame, a temple, electronics, and a linkage assembly. The frame can have two opposing connection portions and the temple can be adapted to selectively interface with one of the two connection portions. The electronics can be mounted to at least one of the temple and the frame. The linkage assembly can be pivotally coupled at a first end portion to the temple and pivotally coupled at a second end portion to the one of the two connection portions. The linkage assembly can be configured for movement of the temple between a wearable position and a folded position.
