20130021374 | Manipulating And Displaying An Image On A Wearable Computing System - Example methods and systems for manipulating and displaying a real-time image and/or photograph on a wearable computing system are disclosed. A wearable computing system may provide a view of a real-world environment of the wearable computing system. The wearable computing system may image at least a portion of the view of the real-world environment in real-time to obtain a real-time image. The wearable computing system may receive at least one input command that is associated with a desired manipulation of the real-time image. The at least one input command may be a hand gesture. Then, based on the at least one received input command, the wearable computing system may manipulate the real-time image in accordance with the desired manipulation. After manipulating the real-time image, the wearable computing system may display the manipulated real-time image in a display of the wearable computing system. | 01-24-2013 |

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. | 07-04-2013 |
20130176626 | WEARABLE DEVICE ASSEMBLY WITH INPUT AND OUTPUT STRUCTURES - An electronic device for use with a wearable structure configured to be worn on the head of a user includes a display element and a housing having an arm portion and an elbow portion. The housing is configured to be removably affixed to the wearable structure at the arm portion thereof. The elbow portion of the housing defines a display end of the housing that supports the display element. The arm extends along a longitudinal axis of the housing, and the elbow portion is configured such that the display end supports the display element along a display axis disposed at an angle with respect to the longitudinal axis. Image generating means are disposed within the housing and configured for generating an image presentable to the user on the display element. An input device is affixed to the housing and is configured for receiving from the user an input. | 07-11-2013 |
20130188080 | WEARABLE DEVICE WITH INPUT AND OUTPUT STRUCTURES - 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. | 07-25-2013 |
20130235331 | EYEGLASS FRAME WITH INPUT AND OUTPUT FUNCTIONALITY - 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. | 09-12-2013 |
20130250503 | WEARABLE COMPUTING DEVICE FRAME - 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. | 09-26-2013 |
20130258270 | WEARABLE DEVICE WITH INPUT AND OUTPUT STRUCTURES - A head-wearable device includes a center support extending in generally lateral directions, a first side arm extending from a first end of the center frame support and a second side arm extending from a second end of the center support. The device may further include a nosebridge that is removably coupled to the center frame support. The device may also include a lens assembly that is removably coupled to the center support or the nosebridge. The lens assembly may have a single lens, or a multi-lens arrangement configured to cooperate with display to correct for a user's ocular disease or disorder. | 10-03-2013 |

20150016638 | ISOLATION OF AUDIO TRANSDUCER - A head-mounted wearable device assembly is provided that includes a bone conduction transducer (BCT) and an elastomeric isolation member that provides acoustic isolation between the BCT and a housing of the head-mounted wearable device assembly. The elastomeric isolation member may be a polyurethane material having a hardness (durometer) on the order of 60 A. The material arrangement and durometer may be chosen to provide a frequency response and/or acoustic leakage within a predetermined range, which results in high quality sound reproduction for the wearer. The elastomeric isolation member may be secured to an interior portion of the housing by a pair of mounting posts. The elastomeric isolation member physically and acoustically separates the BCT from the interior of the housing and other components therein. | 01-15-2015 |
