Abstract

An electronic case for electronic spectacles may include a base comprising a cavity formed therein. A first spectacle retention device may be located within the cavity. The first spectacle retention device may be configured to retain spectacles. An electrical control system may be included. An electrical connector may be configured to couple the electrical control system in electronic communication with the spectacles.

Claims (15)

1. An electronic case for electronic spectacles comprising:

a base comprising a cavity formed therein;

a first spectacle retention device within the cavity that is configured to retain spectacles;

an electrical control system;

an inductive charging system configured to inductively charge the electronic spectacles;

a wireless communication system configured to operatively wirelessly couple the electrical control system to the electronic spectacles in electronic data communication; and

a plurality of indicators, wherein one of the plurality of indicators is a compliance indicator that indicates a patient's compliance with wearing the spectacles.

2. The electronic case of claim 1 , wherein the electrical control system is configured to receive spectacle usage data from the spectacles via the wireless communication system.

3. The electronic case of claim 2 , wherein the electrical control system is configured to determine patient compliance based on spectacle usage data.

4. The electronic case of claim 3 , wherein the electrical control system is configured to illuminate the compliance indicator based on the determined patient compliance.

5. The electronic case of claim 2 , wherein the wireless communication system is configured to illuminate the compliance indicator based on the spectacle usage data.

6. The electronic case of claim 1 , wherein the wireless communication system comprises communication circuitry and an antenna.

7. The electronic case of claim 1 , wherein the wireless communication system is configured to wirelessly transmit or receive compliance data, energy storage status data, spectacle usage data, or operational data of the electronic case or spectacles.

8. The electronic case of claim 2 , wherein the electrical control system further comprises a programming interface for receiving spectacle stimulation configuration data.

9. The electronic case of claim 8 , wherein the electrical control system is configured to determine patient compliance based on spectacle usage data and the spectacle stimulation configuration data.
