Abstract

Apparatuses and systems for wearable devices such as eyewear are described. According to one embodiment, the wearable device includes a frame, a temple, onboard electronics components, and a coupling mechanism. The frame is configured to hold one or more optical elements. The temple is connected to the frame at an articulated joint such that the temple is disposable between a collapsed condition and a wearable condition in which the device is wearable by a user to hold the one or more optical elements within user view. The onboard electronics components comprise at least a pair of electronics components carried by the frame and the temple respectively. The coupling mechanism is incorporated in the articulated joint and that is configured to electrically connect the pair of electronics components across the articulated joint both when the temple is in the wearable condition and when the temple is in the collapsed condition.

Claims (30)

1. A wearable device comprising:

a frame configured to hold one or more optical elements;

a temple;

an articulated joint connecting the temple to the frame such that the temple is disposable between a collapsed condition and a wearable condition in which the wearable device is wearable by a user to hold the one or more optical elements within user view;

one or more onboard electronics components comprising at least a pair of electronics components carried by the frame and the temple, respectively; and

a coupling mechanism adjacent the articulated joint, the coupling mechanism is configured to electrically connect the pair of electronics components across the articulated joint both when the temple is in the wearable condition and when the temple is in the collapsed condition, wherein the coupling mechanism includes an electrical connector adjacent the articulated joint and positioned to be covered by the temple so as to be inaccessible to facilitate charging with the temple in the wearable condition, the electrical connector exposed to facilitate charging of the one or more onboard electronics components when the temple is positioned in the collapsed condition.

2. The wearable device of claim 1 , wherein the coupling mechanism includes a first electrical connector and a second electrical connector spaced from the first electrical connector across the articulated joint, wherein via the second electrical connector the one or more onboard electronics components are operable and supplied with power when the temple is positioned in the collapsed condition.

3. The wearable device of claim 2 , further comprising a charging device configured to couple to at least one of the first electrical connector or the second electrical connector when the temple is position in the collapsed condition.

4. The wearable device of claim 1 , wherein via the coupling mechanism the one or more onboard electronics components are operable and supplied with power when the temple is positioned in the collapsed condition.

5. The wearable device of claim 1 , wherein the coupling mechanism includes a first electrical connector and a second electrical connector, wherein at least the second electrical connector is between the temple and the frame, wherein the second electrical connector is configured to create a second electrical connection between the temple and the frame when the temple is positioned in the wearable condition.

6. The wearable device of claim 5 , wherein via the second electrical connector the one or more onboard electronics components are operable and supplied with power from a battery in the temple.

7. The wearable device of claim 1 , further comprising a case configured to receive the wearable device therein with the temple positioned in the collapsed condition, the case configured to transfer power from the case to the one or more onboard electronics components.

8. The wearable device of claim 1 , wherein the one or more onboard electronics components comprise a battery and the coupling mechanism facilitates power transfer between the battery and another of the one or more onboard electronics components carried by the wearable device.

9. The wearable device of claim 1 , wherein the coupling mechanism includes at least two electrical ports on the temple and at least two electrical ports on the frame.

10. A method of operating a wearable device, comprising:

providing a frame and a temple connected to the frame, wherein at least the frame is configured to carry one or more onboard electronics components and optical elements for a user;

articulating the temple relative to the frame from a wearable condition in which the wearable device is wearable by the user to a collapsed condition; and

supplying power to the one or more onboard electronics components via an electrical connector, wherein the electrical connector is exposed with the temple in both the wearable condition and the collapsed condition.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein a first portion of the electrical connector is covered by the temple in the wearable condition and a second portion of the electrical connector is covered by the temple in the collapsed condition.

12. The method of claim 10 , wherein the electrical connector includes a first electrical connector and a second electrical connector spaced from the electrical connector across an articulated joint, wherein via the second electrical connector the one or more onboard electronics components are operable and supplied with power when the temple is in the collapsed condition.

13. The method of claim 10 , further comprising operating the one or more onboard electronics components when the temple is positioned in the collapsed condition and the wearable condition.

14. The method of claim 10 , wherein supplying power to the one or more onboard electronics components comprises seating the wearable device within a case with the temple in the collapsed condition.

15. The method of claim 10 , wherein the electrical connector includes at least two ports on a first part of the temple and at least two ports on a second part of the temple.

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the electrical connector includes at least two pads on the frame on a first part of the frame and at least two ports on a second part of the frame.

17. A method of operating a wearable device, comprising:

providing a frame and a temple connected to the frame, wherein at least the frame is configured to carry one or more onboard electronics components and optical elements for a user;

articulating the temple relative to the frame from a wearable condition in which the wearable device is wearable by the user to a collapsed condition;

disconnecting a power supply to the one or more onboard electronics components when the temple is articulated between the wearable condition and the collapsed condition; and

supplying power from the power supply to the one or more onboard electronics component when the temple is in the wearable condition and the collapsed condition.

18. The method of claim 17 , further comprising supplying power to the one or more onboard electronics components via an electrical connector, wherein the electrical connector is exposed with the temple in both the wearable condition and the collapsed condition.
