Abstract

A method for communicating between a user using a viewing device ( 2000 ) and the viewing device, includes the following steps: acquiring, at an acquisition interface ( 1400 ) integrated into a pair of glasses ( 1000 ) of the user, an item of information on utilization of the glasses; and generating and sending to the viewing device ( 2000 ), by a microcontroller ( 1100 ) integrated into the glasses, a data signal (DATA) depending on the acquired information. The acquired information enables in particular the authentication of the user, so as to send, to the viewing device, data that the latter will use to display a digital content.

Claims (25)

1. A method for communicating between a user using a viewing device and the viewing device, comprising the following steps:

acquiring, at an acquisition interface integrated into a pair of 3D glasses for the user viewing a 3D image, an item of information on utilization of the pair of 3D glasses; and

using a microcontroller integrated into the pair of 3D glasses,

generating a data signal depending on the acquired information,

obtaining an encrypted digital content,

making an authentication of the user of the 3D glasses based on the acquired information using the acquisition interface integrated into the pair of 3D glasses,

obtaining a decryption key stored in a memory of the pair of 3D glasses upon successful authentication of the user on the pair of 3D glasses based on the acquired information,

decrypting the encrypted digital content using the decryption key, and

sending the data signal to the viewing device, the sent data signal comprising the decrypted digital content,

wherein the viewing device comprises a 3D display screen that displays the decrypted digital content, and

wherein the viewing device and the pair of 3D glasses are distinct items of equipment,

wherein obtaining the encrypted digital content comprises reception, by a communication interface integrated into the pair of 3D glasses, of the encrypted digital content sent by the viewing device, and

wherein continuous decryption of the encrypted digital content using the decryption key and continuous sending of the decrypted content to the viewing device are dependent upon repeated continuous detection, by at least one sensor integrated into the pair of 3D glasses, of the wearing of the pair of 3D glasses by the user.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the acquired authentication information is an item of biometric information acquired using at least one sensor integrated into the pair of 3D glasses.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the data signal is sent to the viewing device only upon a successful authentication of the user.

4. A pair of 3D glasses in combination with a separate viewing device,

the pair of 3D glasses comprising

at an integrated acquisition interface that acquires an item of information on utilization of the pair of 3D glasses, and

an integrated microcontroller that i) generates a data signal dependent on the acquired information, ii) obtains an encrypted digital content, iii) makes an authentication of a user of the 3D glasses based on the acquired information using the acquisition interface integrated into the pair of 3D glasses, and, after successful authentication of a user on the pair of 3D glasses based on the acquired information, obtains a decryption key stored in a memory of the pair of 3D glasses, iv) decrypts the encrypted digital content using the decryption key, and v) sends the data signal to the viewing device, the sent data signal comprising the decrypted digital content; and

the viewing device comprising a 3D display screen that displays the decrypted digital content,

wherein the viewing device and the pair of 3D glasses are distinct items of equipment,

wherein obtaining the encrypted digital content comprises reception, by a communication interface integrated into the pair of 3D glasses, of the encrypted digital content sent by the viewing device, and

wherein continuous decryption of the encrypted digital content using the decryption key and continuous sending of the decrypted content to the viewing device are dependent upon repeated continuous detection, by at least one sensor integrated into the pair of 3D glasses, of the wearing of the glasses by the user.

5. The pair of 3D glasses in combination with the separate viewing device of claim 4 , wherein the acquired authentication information is an item of biometric information acquired using at least one sensor integrated into the pair of 3D glasses.

6. The pair of 3D glasses in combination with the separate viewing device of claim 4 , wherein, wherein the data signal is sent to the viewing device only upon a successful authentication of the user.
