Abstract

The present disclosure provides glasses. The glasses may include a glasses body including a glasses frame and two glasses temples, wherein the two glasses temples may be physically connected to the glasses frame, respectively; and at least one bone conduction microphone configured to convert a vibration signal into an electric signal, wherein the at least one bone conduction microphone may be physically connected to the glasses frame or at least one glasses temple of the two glasses temples, and the at least one bone conduction microphone may be configured to receive vibration signals from the glasses frame, the at least one glasses temple or a user's body.

Claims (10)

1 . Glasses, comprising:

a glasses body, including a glasses frame and two glasses temples, wherein the two glasses temples are physically connected to the glasses frame, respectively; and

at least one bone conduction microphone configured to convert a vibration signal into an electric signal, wherein the at least one bone conduction microphone is physically connected to the glasses frame or at least one glasses temple of the two glasses temples, and the at least one bone conduction microphone is configured to receive vibration signals from the glasses frame, the at least one glasses temple or a user's body,

wherein the glasses body includes an installation cavity for accommodating the at least one bone conduction microphone, one end of the at least one bone conduction microphone extends out of the installation cavity, another end of the at least one bone conduction microphone is elastically connected to a side wall of the installation cavity through an elastic element, the elastic element is configured to press the at least one bone conduction microphone to directly contact the user, a pressure of the at least one bone conduction microphone on the user's body is larger than 0.1 N, the two glasses temples include a first glasses temple and a second glasses temple, and the at least one bone conduction microphone includes at least one first bone conduction microphone and at least one second bone conduction microphone; the at least one first bone conduction microphone is disposed on the first glasses temple, the at least one second bone conduction microphone is disposed on the second glasses temple, the at least one first bone conduction microphone and the at least one second bone conduction microphone have different orientations, a vibration direction of a vibration unit in the at least one first bone conduction microphone is arranged along a direction perpendicular to the user's body, and a vibration direction of a vibration unit in the at least one second bone conduction microphone and the direction perpendicular to the user's body form a certain angle.

2 . The glasses of claim 1 , wherein a vibration unit of the at least one bone conduction microphone is a single-axis acceleration sensor or a multi-axis acceleration sensor.

3 . The glasses of claim 2 , wherein an input signal of the at least one bone conduction microphone is a weighted sum operation on the vibration signals collected in a plurality of directions by the multi-axis acceleration sensor.

4 . The glasses of claim 1 , wherein the at least one first bone conduction microphone and the at least one second bone conduction microphone are both wireless bone conduction microphones.

5 . The glasses of claim 1 , wherein when the user wears the glasses, the at least one bone conduction microphone is in contact with the user's body such that the at least one bone conduction microphone receives the vibration signal of the user's body.

6 . The glasses of claim 1 , further comprising:

a bone conduction speaker connected to an end of one glasses temple through a hinge assembly, wherein the bone conduction speaker is configured to attach to a back of the user's ear, and the at least one bone conduction microphone is positioned before the user's ear.
