Publication number: 20240061491Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for detecting whether a wearable device is being worn by a user. The system transmits a radio signal from a first communication device of a wearable device to a second communication device of the wearable device and measures a signal strength associated with the radio signal received by the second communication device. The system compares the signal strength to a threshold value and generates an indication of a wear status associated with the wearable device based on comparing the signal strength to the threshold value.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 17, 2022Publication date: February 22, 2024Inventors: Jason Heger, Dunxu Hu, Eric Nachtigall, Gerald Nilles, Ugur Olgun, Praveen Babu Vadivelu

Patent number: 11899283Abstract: Eyewear including a see-through display including an optical waveguide module and one or more integrated antennas. In one example, the antenna is disposed on one of the non-active waveguide substrates, which non-active waveguide substrates are used as encapsulants to protect the waveguide active layer from environmental factors and do not have an active optical function in the waveguide operation. In another example, the antenna is disposed on one of the active waveguide substrate surfaces opposite another active waveguide substrate. As a result, there is a large lee-way available in patterning desired antenna shapes, length, and area on these surfaces using optically transparent, high conductivity materials. The antenna is not subject to some design constraints and compromises.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2021Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: Snap Inc.Inventors: Ugur Olgun, Amit Singh
