Key Characteristics & Benefits

This patent lot discloses the following:

One patent discloses a cell phone display that clips onto eyeglasses, which also incorporates audible sound and haptic notifications to the user, enabling hands-free response and commands to remote telephone devices.
Another patent provides a system for displaying data coupled with an ambient light sensor. This addresses the problem suffered by conventional displays, which become washed out and unreadable when the ambient light exceeds a certain threshold, by using the ambient light to create the display, instead of generating artificial illumination.

Market Potential

This lot should be of interest to mobile phone manufacturers, Bluetooth device manufacturers, and other communication solution providers.

Mobile phone sales grew by double-digit percentages in 2010 over 2009, and overall device sales are expected to show 30% year-on-year growth.(1)
