Abstract: |
In accordance with the present invention, an integrated method and apparatus for communication is provided. In one embodiment, a head-mounted viewable display system for a user is provided. This system includes eyewear (11) and a micro-optical display (12). The micro-optical display (12) is positioned in the field of vision of the user and is configured to correct a portion of the refractive error of the user. In another embodiment of the present invention, an integrated communication system is provided. This communication system contains a head mounted frame, a speaker (66) mounted to the frame, a lens mounted to the frame, a micro-optical display (62) having a micro-character display supported by the frame, a microprocessor (60) supported by the frame, and a wireless communication device mounted on the frame, the wireless communication device in communication with the microprocessor. In still another embodiment of the present invention, a method of displaying information to a user is provided. This method includes displaying a first line of characters on a micro-optical display having a micro-character display and using an optical element to project the first line of characters in the field of vision of the user.

+ Integrated Method and System for Communication
Related Applications
+ Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to methods and systems for communication.
+ Background of the Invention
The integration of computers into our daily lives has increased substantially over the last several decades. Main frame computers, once the only source of computing power, have evolved into desktop units, lap top units, Personal Digital Assistants (PDA's), and, now, wearable computers. In each one of these evolutionary steps, the computers have become smaller and more easily accessible.
+ Summary of the Invention
In accordance with the present invention, an integrated method and apparatus for communication is provided. In one embodiment, a head- mounted viewable display system for a user is provided. This system includes eyewear and a micro- optical display. The micro-optical display is positioned in the field of view of the user and is configured to correct a portion of the refractive error of the user.
+ Brief Description of The Drawings
