Power for a wearable e-reader
The present application discloses a system for powering a wearable e-reader. The system includes two optical units. The two optical units are part of the system that is wearable. The optical units comprise a front lit display. The system further includes a battery. The battery powers the two optical units.
1. A system, comprising:
two optical units, wherein the two optical units are part of the system that is wearable, and wherein the optical units comprise a front lit display;
a battery, wherein the battery powers the two optical units; and
an arm indicator, wherein the arm indicator indicates whether the arm is collapsed or open, wherein the battery is not enabled to power the front lit display of the two optical units after a predetermined delay to the arm being collapsed.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the battery is mounted in a collapsible arm.
3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the battery is removable from the collapsible arm.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the battery is one of two batteries.
5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the two batteries are mounted in two collapsible arms.
6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the two batteries are removable from the two collapsible arms.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the battery is electrically connected to at least one of the two optical units.
8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the two optical units includes a circuit board to drive a display.
9. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a solar panel.
10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the solar panel is mounted on a glasses frame.
11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the solar panel is mounted on a front side of the glasses frame.
12. The system of claim 1 , wherein the solar panel is electrically coupled to a circuit board.
13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the circuit board has a battery charging circuit.
14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the battery charging circuit is electrically coupled to the battery.
15. The system of claim 1 , wherein the battery is enabled to power the front lit display of the two optical units in response to the arm being open.
16. The system of claim 1 , wherein the battery is not enabled to power the front lit display of the two optical units in response to the arm being collapsed.
17. The system of claim 1 , wherein the battery not enabling powering the front lit display of the two optical units after the predetermined delay to the arm being collapsed uses a delay circuit on a circuit board.
18. A method, comprising:
providing two optical units, wherein the two optical units are part of the system that is wearable, and wherein the optical units comprise a front lit display; and
providing a battery, wherein the battery powers the two optical units; and
providing an arm indicator, wherein the arm indicator indicates whether the arm is collapsed or open, wherein the battery is not enabled to power the front lit display of the two optical units after a predetermined delay to the arm being collapsed.
