EYEWEAR DEVICE INPUT MECHANISM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240056672 titled 'EYEWEAR DEVICE INPUT MECHANISM

Simplified Explanation

An electronics-enabled eyewear device with primary and secondary command channels for user input during untethered wear, with tap input detected by motion sensors in the device's body. A predefined tap sequence on the frame triggers device functions, such as displaying battery charge level with a double tap.

  • The eyewear device has motion sensors integrated into its body to detect tap input.
  • A tap sequence on the frame of the device can trigger specific functions.
  • For example, a double tap on the frame can display the battery charge level.

Original Abstract Submitted

an electronics-enabled eyewear device provides a primary command channel and a secondary command channel for receiving user input during untethered wear, one of the command channels providing for tap input detected by motion sensor(s) incorporated in a body of the eyewear device. a predefined tap sequence or pattern can be applied to frame of the device to trigger as device function. in one example, a double tap of the device's frame causes charge level display indicating a battery charge level.
