Claim 2:
3. An electronic apparatus for both extending and retracting a display within a user's field of view via an ear-mounted apparatus with at least one air wave hand gesture or speech command of a user, comprising:
a mostly transparent display;
an audio speaker ear mount configured to attach to either a single ear of a user or both ears:
a magnetic ear frame that encompasses the entire outer ear of said user with an attached earbud that fits inside said user's ear, providing additional support for the apparatus to remain secured in place, said magnetic ear frame which positions magnets around said ear's backside as well as the portion of said ear frame connecting to said apparatus thus creating a magnetic force field between said apparatus and said ear frame to maintain said apparatus levitated around said ear:
a fabric, said fabric which connects said magnetic ear frame to said apparatus and stretches from said apparatus to said ear frame and in doing so, encompasses the entire ear of said user from helix to earlobe, pressing said apparatus to cover said user's ear: an extraction and retraction mechanism that provides for said display to move to and from said user's field of vision wherein the shape of said apparatus is transformable from a first shape that has said display retracted and hidden from view to a second shape that has said display extended, whereby said user has two modes of operation for said apparatus: one mode conspicuous where said display is visible to said user and one mode inconspicuous where said display is not visible to said user:
an electronic swivel assembly of at least two revolving joint components that provide a hinge motion in order to rotate said display from a vertical position upon extrusion to a horizontal position once fully extended;
an array of hollow, telescopic extension tubes that provide the motion for extension and retraction of the attached swivel and display from inside said ear-mounted audio speaker;
said array of telescoping extension tubes which are actuated by applying an electric current to copper and other magnetic wire to create a solenoid base which houses said array of telescopic extension tubes each individual telescopic extension tube containing magnetic properties so that each tube becomes attracted within the magnetic field created by the tube that directly precedes it upon retraction in the order of closest to farthest from said solenoid mechanism;
said solenoid housing which includes a washer and a conical spring attached on one end to the washer and on the other end to the top of the smallest tube in said array of telescopic tubes in order to assist said extraction and retraction mechanism;
said array of telescopic extension tubes and said conical spring covered by a protective sleeve which also fits inside said apparatus when said telescopic tubes are retracted and said protective sleeve which also accompanies said telescopic extension tubes upon extrusion;
an aperture inside of said ear-mounted, audio speaker for housing said display, said swivel, said protective sleeve, and said telescopic extension tubes when retracted:
at least one microphone that interprets voice commands made by the user that are used by said processor to control said physical movement and placement of said display inside and out of said aperture; and
a processor for providing image generation and for automatic control of said display's movement, wherein said automatic control of the display is characterized by non-physical touch on said apparatus, namely:
receiving image inputs from depth cameras and microphones;
processing said depth camera inputs and speech styles in combination with inputs from other sensors and transmitters to show images on said display for control of the solenoid base extraction and retraction mechanism.
