  • Publication number: 20130250503
    Abstract: A device is configured to be worn on a user's head. In one aspect, the device includes a center frame support and first and second side arms. Each side arm has a first end connecting to the center frame support and a free end remote from the first end. The device also includes an extension arm that projects from one of the side arms in a direction proximate the center frame support. The extension arm is configured to present information to the user via a display device. The center frame support and the first and second side arms form a band worn on the user's head. In one embodiment, the free end of the first side arm is elongated relative to the free end of the second side arm to form an asymmetric U shape. In another embodiment, a removable or adjustable nose bridge couples to the center frame support.

  • Publication number: 20130235331
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a frame configured to be worn on the head of a user and having first and second rims with lenses and a bridge between the rims for resting on the nose of the user. First and second temple portions extend away from the rims to ends and are can be positioned over the temples of the user with the ends near the ears of the user. The device further includes a display element over one of the lenses and a housing having an arm portion affixed to the first temple portion. An elbow portion of the housing defines a display end that supports the display element at an angle to the arm portion. Image generating means within the housing can present an image on the display element. An input device on the housing can receive an input from the user.

  • Publication number: 20130188080
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a band configured to be worn on the head of a user. The band has a central portion and first and second temple portions extending therefrom. The central portion is configured to contact a portion of the face of a user, and the temple portions are configured to contact portions of the head of the user near ears thereof. An operational unit having a display element is affixed to the first temple portion and includes a housing having an arm defining a longitudinal axis. The housing also includes an elbow portion defining a display end that supports the display element such that it extends along a display axis angled with respect to the longitudinal axis and such that the display element is positionable over an eye of the user. Image generating means are disposed within the housing for generating an image presentable on the display element.

  • Publication number: 20130169513
    Abstract: A wearable computing device includes a bone conduction transducer, an extension arm, a light pass hole, and a flexible touch pad input circuit. When a user wears the device, the transducer contacts the user's head. A display is attached to a free end of an extension arm. The extension arm is pivotable such that a distance between the display and the user's eye is adjustable to provide the display at an optimum position. The light pass hole may include a light emitting diode and a flash. The touch pad input circuit may be adhered to at least one side arm such that parting lines are not provided between edges of the circuit and the side arm.
