1 MOBIEYE™: Design by Conny Westh
1.1
Executive Summary
The MOBIEYE™ mobile phone is integrated with eyeglasses or sunglasses that you
can wear transparently (no one will se any difference from normal eyeglasses or
sunglasses, if they don’t look very close). An incoming phone call can be signalled
through a change of colour, sound or vibrations. When dialing another MOBIEYE™
or other mobile user, the wearer can either use voice commands or eye movement
commands (EMC), to control the EYECOMMAND™ screen. It is also possible, but
not required, to use an old style handheld keypad device or Remote Control Device
(RCD), (several different models will be available to fulfil the wearers different
request of taste) for remote control of the MOBIEYE™.
The eyeglass has an integrated video camera and a small stereo microphone between
the two eyes and a stereo earplug connected to each of the two scalms with short
cables. Batteries are integrated in each scalm. The eye-side of the glasses is like a
video monitor that can play any video sequence (even live video from another
MOBIEYE™ wearer that is connected online) to the wearer.
In a dark room the MOBICAM™-part of MOBIEYE™ can work as a projector and
show video sequences with sound to others on a white wall or other flat light single
colour surface. The MOBIEYE™ also can play music or recorded language courses to
the wearer. MOBIEYE™ also can record all video with acceptable resolution and
sound as a log of the wearer’s day of life.
When the wearer is working on their laptop computer it is possible to use an USB
device to, wireless of course, store all recordings from the MOBIEYE™ device to the
USB or Laptop.
When technology gets available, a future extension is to use the Wireless Power
Supply™ (WPS™) when charging the batteries in MOBIEYE™.
Future models of MOBIEYE™ will also facilitate to be a complete PC with a USB
device to connect to any available laptop to use for external keyboard-, pointing- and
screen- devices, but all data (maybe later even operating system and other software) is
stored in the MOBIEYE™ device.

Longer description
1.2.1 Possible usage by the wearer (applications)
When attending a business meeting it is often a problem to document what is said or
shown at the meeting. MOBIEYE™ makes this a lot easier. The wearer automatically
focuses at the current speaker when the meeting.
It is often difficult to know what the driver is seeing at driving school, MOBIEYE™
makes this easier to document as a recorded video sequence. MOBIEYE™ follows
the wearers head movements exactly.
When the police are interviewing a suspect or a non suspect, on the spot (directly after
a crime been committed or discovered), it is often done under extreme stress and the
policeperson often miss out details or misunderstand the clients statements. It whould
clearly increase quality of these first interviews if they where digitally documented
immediately.
In the future it is highly probable that people will make their diary as a video diary. It
is not as difficult if one have automatic logging of everyday events by recording on
video all or part of what happened during the day for later editing.
1.2.2 State of the art technology to use
Most cellular phones have cameras built in today already. Digital recording of video
is common today. Earphones in MP3 players are common. Monitors in eyeglass sized
devices are known technology even if it is not common today.
1.2.3 Known problems to solve
MOBIEYE™ is a complex device mostly built on known technology, the main issue
is to integrate and minimize current state of the art technology to make the integrated
application possible. The energy source is also a big issue to resolve. Early versions of
MOBIEYE™ will probably be very large devices in size, it is very important that the
device is not clumsy to the wearer, otherwise it will probably not be a commercial
success.
1.2.4 Innovations needed to make MOBIEYE™ possible
1.2.5 Ethical problems with usage of MOBIEYE™
MOBIEYE™ is very useful for honest wearers but it easily becomes a dangerous
weapon in the hands of the criminals and especially the sexual predators.
Even quite honest wearers that is visiting a swimming facility, public bathrooms, and
localities where athletes change clothes will easily become ethically troublesome.
This is a problem that has to be addressed in the early stages of developing this
concept. A solution probably has to be integrated at low level to be efficient and
therefore it is equally important not to release a solution that is half solved.

If I win I would build first of all the earpiece using technology such as... blabla...My
aim would be functioning speaker and microphone integration...
