Google Glass’s new patent exposure or has begun secretly developing next-generation products

The release of Google Glass in April 2012 has sparked a hot pursuit of geeks. By wearing it, users can take a series of actions such as taking photos, videos, accessing the Internet, and processing text messages in a voice-activated or blinking manner, which is quite futuristic. However, due to high costs, lack of killer applications and short standby time (Google Glass II standby time is only 3-5 hours), Google has stopped related research and development projects in January 2015. However, in recent days, foreign media have exposed a new patent that Google is currently applying for, which may give Google Glass a turning point.

From the exposure information, the equipment in the patent has some considerable changes compared with the current Google glasses, and the power supply and control methods have changed.

As can be seen from the figure, the Google Glass side of the frame with a touch panel, the internal may be the main circuit board, processor and Bluetooth chip, etc., link and control the front sensor and camera. This small touch panel will likely introduce more interactive ways for the next generation of Google glasses.

More interestingly, the new patent also includes a replaceable battery design because its temples are actually a battery storage device that can fit a variety of battery sizes. For example, models such as AA batteries, AAA batteries, or 9V batteries may appear on the support list, allowing them to be replaced at any time. Of course, this possibility of influencing portability was introduced into the official version of Google Glass. Therefore, it was pointed out by industry insiders that Google is unlikely to adopt a replaceable battery design in the next generation of Google Glasses. Will focus on developing new power supply technologies.

This exposure of patent information makes people think that earlier this year related parties pointed out that Google may have begun secretly developing the next generation of smart glasses, the project name is Project Aura, and the project will also develop in addition to Google glasses Other wearable devices.
