US 7380936 B2Abstract
A pair of glasses includes a clock that is at least partially embedded in the glasses. The clock can be in one of the temples of the glasses. In one implementation, the clock can be positioned at a region close to a hinge of the corresponding temple, with the clock facing inward towards the user. The clock can also be in a temple arrangement. Instead of or in addition to a clock, other types of electrical components can be at least partially embedded into a pair of glasses or a temple arrangement of a pair of glasses. For example, the other electrical components can pertain to a RFID tag, a temperature sensor or an eyewear finder.

The present invention relates generally to glasses and, more particularly, to a pair of eyeglasses with a clock or other electrical component.
For some people, glasses are indispensable. They have to wear them almost every second of their waking hours. Even for those who do not wear prescription glasses, if they like to be in the sun, sunglasses are essential. In other words, many of us constantly carry at least one pair of glasses with us.
In one embodiment, the present invention relates to having a clock at least partially embedded in a pair of glasses. With the clock at least partially embedded in the glasses, the wearer does not need to carry a separate watch in order to know what time it is. For example, the clock can be in one of the temples of the glasses at a region close to the hinge of that temple, with the clock facing the wearer. With the clock in that position, the wearer may be able to see the time or the time may be visible to the wearer, without the need to take the glasses off. In an alternative example, the clock, which can be a digital clock, can be in a temple arrangement of a pair of glasses. A temple arrangement can be a temple tip, a temple cover or a temple fit-over. In another embodiment, instead of a clock, the present invention relates to an electrical component at least partially embedded into a pair of glasses or a temple arrangement of a pair of glasses. Due to the miniaturization of electrical components, even a physically small electrical component can provide significant and useful functionalities. In one example, an electrical component in a pair of glasses is a temperature sensor. In another example, an electrical component in a pair of glasses is an RFID tag. In still another example, an electrical component in a pair of glasses is an eyewear finder.
FIG. 1 shows one embodiment of the invention with a clock in one of the temples of the glasses.
FIG. 1 shows a pair of glasses according to one embodiment of the present invention. The pair of glasses 10 has a first lens holder 12 and a second lens holder 14. Both lens holders 12, 14 are for receiving lenses. The first lens holder 12 has a first side and a second side. The second lens holder 14 also has a first side and a second side. The pair of glasses has a bridge element 16. The bridge element 16 is coupled to the first side of the first lens holder 12 and the second side of the second lens holder 14. In one embodiment, the lens holders and the bridge element 16 are not separate pieces, but are an integral piece.
