Abstract

The present disclosure relates to an eyewear skeleton to be integrated into an active eyewear adapted for a wearer, including at least two elements selected among the following elements: a lens housing, and/or at least one temple, and/or at least one optical lens. At least part of the two elements is to be dressed by at least one dressing element, each of the at least two elements including at least one electronic component, the at least one electronic component of the at least two elements interacting one with the other.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An eyewear skeleton to be integrated into an active eyewear adapted for a wearer, comprising:
a mechanical device; and
at least two elements comprising a lens housing and a temple coupled together,
at least part of the two elements being configured to be dressed by at least one dressing element,
wherein each of the at least two elements of the eyewear skeleton comprises at least one electronic component, each electronic component of the elements being configured to interact with one other electronic component arranged on another element of the eyewear skeleton,
wherein the mechanical device is arranged between the electronics components and the at least two elements and maintains the electronic components of the at least two elements, and
wherein the mechanical device is configured to adjust at least the lens housing and/or the temple according to at least one parameter of the wearer, the at least one parameter of the wearer relates to a wrap angle fitting the wearer's face and/or a curvature angle of the wearer and/or an interpupillary-distance of the wearer and/or a parameter relative to a head of the wearer, the parameter relative to the head of the wearer including a nose size and/or a nose position and/or an eyebrow position and/or a jowl position, and/or a width of the wearer's head and/or a parameter relative to the wearer's head movements.

2. The eyewear skeleton according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the electronic components comprises a battery and/or an electronic board and/or a wire and/or a sensor and/or an optical element for performing augmented reality and/or a memory and/or a processor and/or a cooling component and/or an active cell.

3. The eyewear skeleton according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the at least two elements is adjustable so that the eyewear skeleton is adapted to the wearer.

4. An active eyewear adapted for a wearer comprising:
the eyewear skeleton according to claim 1 ; and
the at least one dressing element, which dresses at least part of the at least two elements of the eyewear skeleton.

5. The active eyewear according to claim 4 , wherein the at least one dressing element is adjusted according to at least one parameter of the wearer.

6. The active eyewear according to claim 4 , wherein the at least one dressing element comprises at least two parts.

7. The active eyewear according to claim 4 , wherein the at least one dressing element is fixed on the eyewear skeleton.

8. The active eyewear according to claim 4 , wherein the at least one dressing element comprises at least one aperture arranged on an area of the at least one dressing element dressing an electronic component.

9. The eyewear skeleton according to claim 1 , wherein the mechanical device is configured to adjust at least the lens housing and/or the temple according to the at least one parameter of the wearer, the at least one parameter of the wearer relates to the wrap angle fitting the wearer's face and the curvature angle of the wearer and the interpupillary-distance of the wearer and the parameter relative to the head of the wearer.

10. The eyewear skeleton according to claim 1 , wherein the parameter relative to the head of the wearer includes the nose size and the nose position and the eyebrow position and the jowl position, and the width of the wearer's head and the parameter relative to the wearer's head movements.

11. The eyewear skeleton according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the electronic components comprises an optical element for performing augmented reality.

12. The eyewear skeleton according to claim 1 , wherein the mechanical device maintains the electronic components of the at least two elements by supporting the electronic components via hinges or wires.

13. A method for assembling an active eyewear adapted for a wearer, an eyewear skeleton being integrated into the active eyewear and comprising
a mechanical device, and
at least two elements comprising a lens housing and a temple coupled together,
at least part of the two elements being configured to be dressed by at least one dressing element,
wherein each of the at least two elements of the eyewear skeleton comprises at least one electronic component, each electronic component of the elements being configured to interact with one other electronic component arranged on another element of the eyewear skeleton,
wherein the mechanical device is arranged between the electronics components and the at least two elements and maintains the electronic components of the at least two elements, and
wherein the mechanical device is configured to adjust at least the lens housing and/or the temple according to at least one parameter of the wearer, the at least one parameter of the wearer relates to a wrap angle fitting the wearer's face and/or a curvature angle of the wearer and/or an interpupillary-distance of the wearer and/or a parameter relative to a head of the wearer, the parameter relative to the head of the wearer including a nose size and/or a nose position and/or an eyebrow position and/or a jowl position, and/or a width of the wearer's head and/or a parameter relative to the wearer's head movements, the method comprising:
dressing at least part of the at least two elements of the eyewear skeleton by the at least one dressing element.

14. The method for assembling according to claim 13 , wherein the at least one dressing element comprises at least two parts, wherein during the dressing, at least one of the at least two elements of the eyewear skeleton is at least partially dressed by one of the at least two parts of the at least one dressing element, and at least the other of the at least two elements of the eyewear skeleton is at least partially dressed by the other of the at least two parts of the at least one dressing element, such that the at least two parts of the at least one dressing element dresses the at least two elements of the eyewear skeleton.

15. A method for adjusting an active eyewear to a wearer, an eyewear skeleton being integrated into the active eyewear and comprising
a mechanical device, and
at least two elements comprising a lens housing and a temple coupled together,
at least part of the two elements being configured to be dressed by at least one dressing element,
wherein each of the at least two elements of the eyewear skeleton comprises at least one electronic component, each electronic component of the elements being configured to interact with one other electronic component arranged on another element of the eyewear skeleton,
wherein the mechanical device is arranged between the electronics components and the at least two elements and maintains the electronic components of the at least two elements, and
wherein the mechanical device is configured to adjust at least the lens housing and/or the temple according to at least one parameter of the wearer, the at least one parameter of the wearer relates to a wrap angle fitting the wearer's face and/or a curvature angle of the wearer and/or an interpupillary-distance of the wearer and/or a parameter relative to a head of the wearer, the parameter relative to the head of the wearer including a nose size and/or a nose position and/or an eyebrow position and/or a jowl position, and/or a width of the wearer's head and/or a parameter relative to the wearer's head movements, the method comprising:
adjusting the at least one of the at least two elements of the eyewear skeleton and/or the at least one dressing element according to at least one parameter of the wearer.
