Abstract: A RF wireless charging enclosure configured to enable efficient wireless charging of a CE device in the enclosure while also allowing wireless communication of the CE device to devices outside the enclosure. In one example, time multiplexing is used such that the CE device is enabled to either be charged, or to communicate with a device outside the enclosure. In another example, frequency division is used such that the CE device is charged at a first frequency, and simultaneously communicates through the enclosure at a second different frequency.

Abstract: An antenna system comprises a combination of a loop antenna and a non-loop antenna. The loop antenna and the non-loop antenna is connected in common to a transceiver mechanism or signal feed mechanism. The non-loop antenna is in some embodiments provided by a dipole conductor. An eye-wear device incorporates the antenna system, a loop conductor and a dipole conductor of the antenna system being integrated in a body of the eyewear device. The loop conductor may be provided by a lens ring that extends around a lens held by the body. The lens ring may serve both as loop conductor and as a lens retention mechanism.

Abstract: An eyewear device has an antenna system having at least one element which contributes to wireless signal transmission, and which is thermally connected to a heat-generating electronic component of the eyewear device to serve as a heat sink for the electronic component. A driven antenna element and/or a plurality of PCB extenders electrically connected to a PCB ground plane can thus be employed for both signal transmission and heat management.

Abstract: Eyewear including a dipole antenna having a first leg and a second leg, wherein the first leg includes at least a portion of a battery, such as a conductive case of the battery. An antenna feed is coupled to the dipole antenna between the second leg and the battery. The second leg may comprise a flexible printed circuit (FPC), and the second leg is an active leg. The second leg has a first portion and a second portion. The first portion and the second portion may have the same physical length. The first portion may be dielectrically loaded with a high permittivity loaded material, and the second portion may be dielectrically loaded with a low permittivity loaded material.

Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for detecting whether a wearable device is being worn by a user. The system transmits a radio signal from a first communication device of a wearable device to a second communication device of the wearable device and measures a signal strength associated with the radio signal received by the second communication device. The system compares the signal strength to a threshold value and generates an indication of a wear status associated with the wearable device based on comparing the signal strength to the threshold value.

Abstract: Eyewear that is configured to be wirelessly charged and also wirelessly communicate bidirectionally using a single coil in a front end. The single coil forms a single compact antenna that is configured for both near field data communications (NFC) and also for wireless charging when the eyewear is closely coupled to a wireless power charger having a transceiver. Wireless charging and bidirectional communication of the eyewear can be performed using Qi expanded power profile (EPP), which is an open interface standard developed by the Wireless Power Consortium.
