Therefore, the embodiments shown in the present specification and the drawings are only exemplary embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the technical ideas of the present invention are presented. Therefore, various equivalents It should be understood that water and variations may exist.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of smart glasses including an illuminance sensor according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the glasses.

1 and 2, the smart glasses including the illuminance sensor according to the present invention includes left and right eye display units 10 and 12, a frame unit 20 to which the left and right eye display units 10 and 12 are coupled, An illuminance sensor unit 40 provided on the frame unit 20 and a left and right eye display unit 10 and 12 disposed on the frame unit 20, A power supply unit 60 for supplying power to the left and right eye display units 10 and 12, the illumination sensor unit 40 and the control unit 50, The left and right display units 10 and 12 are a see-through type display unit and the luminance sensor unit 40 is provided with a switch unit 70 for turning on / And the brightness of the display units 10 and 12 is adjusted according to the illuminance to be sensed.

A smart phone is a device that can selectively install various programs for an expanding function of a mobile communication device according to the user's preference and can implement various functions beyond the limit of the passive operations available in conventional mobile communication means have.

The smart glasses are configured to be able to receive data through interfacing with the smart phone through the communication unit 80, or to receive data via a connection to a Wi-Fi communication network.

The communication unit 80 receives an RF communication signal or a Bluetooth communication signal, for example, according to a signal transmission method of the smartphone 10, converts the received signal into an electrical signal, and transmits the electrical signal to the control unit 50 And is configured to communicate with an external communication server through a 3G communication network or a Wi-Fi communication network to receive data.

Thus, an image based on data received through the smart phone or the communication network is displayed through the left and right eye display units 10 and 12 of the eyeglass unit.

Here, the left and right-eye display units 10 and 12 are preferably made of a liquid crystal display, and are of a see-through type in which an image can be displayed on the liquid crystal but the outside can be seen.

Accordingly, the display unit 10, 12 may be configured to display the map, the state of the machine or the apparatus, and the information added thereto, while at the same time allowing the wearer to see the actual external environment.

The control unit 50 generates a control signal for displaying the data received from the receiving unit 80 on the left and right-eye display units 10 and 12.

A switch unit 70 is provided on one side of the frame unit 20 to turn the power supply unit 60 on and off. When the smart glasses are to be used, the switch unit 70 is turned on, When the smart glasses are not used, the switch unit 70 is turned off to stop power supply.

The switch portion 70 may be disposed on the side of the frame portion 20 or the eyeglass leg portion 30 but is not limited thereto and may be disposed at various positions where the user can easily operate the switch portion 70. [

An illuminance sensor unit 40 is provided at one side of the frame unit 20 for sensing the brightness of the surrounding environment to detect the brightness of the environment in which the wearer wearing the smart glasses is located.

Therefore, when the brightness of the ambient environment sensed by the brightness sensor 40 is lighter or darker than the reference brightness, the brightness of the screen may be made smaller or larger than the reference value to provide a more visually improved image .

That is, when the brightness of the ambient environment is greater than the reference brightness, the brightness of the entire screen may be made larger than the reference value to improve the visibility of the image displayed through the display units 10 and 12.

Alternatively, when the brightness of the ambient environment to be sensed is darker than the reference brightness, the brightness of the entire screen may be made smaller than the reference value, and the magnitude of the overall power consumption may be reduced along with stimulation of the eyes of the screen image.

In addition, the contrast value and the gamma value of the image displayed on the display units 10 and 12 are adjusted according to the brightness of the ambient environment sensed by the brightness sensor unit 40.

The contrast value of the image is a value indicating the degree of difference between the bright portion and the dark portion. When the contrast value is large, the bright portion looks brighter, the dark portion looks darker, and when the contrast value is small, not.

Meanwhile, the gamma value means an exponential value of an expression indicating a relation of an image brightness value to an input voltage value in an image display apparatus.

In the smart glasses according to the present invention, the contrast value and the gamma value are adjusted according to the brightness of the surrounding environment.

That is, when the brightness of the ambient environment sensed by the brightness sensor 40 is lighter or darker than the reference brightness, the contrast value or the gamma value of the screen may be made smaller or larger than the reference value to provide a smoother and more clear image .

That is, when the brightness of the surrounding environment is greater than the reference brightness, the contrast value or the gamma value of the entire screen may be made larger than the reference value so that the image displayed through the display units 10 and 12 can be made more distinct.

Alternatively, when the brightness of the ambient environment to be sensed is darker than the reference brightness, the contrast value or the gamma value of the entire screen may be made smaller than the reference value.

In the smart eyewear according to the present invention, the brightness, the contrast value, or the gamma value of the image is adjusted according to the brightness of the surrounding environment sensed by the illuminance sensor unit 40. The mode of the specific control is not limited, Modifications are possible.

The smart glasses may further include voice signal output means for outputting voice signals corresponding to images output to the display units 10 and 12, An earphone, a speaker, or the like.

Meanwhile, the smart glasses may be provided with a motion sensor such as a GPS module and a gyro sensor to detect the current position and operation of the wearer of the smart glasses.

Thus, the position information corresponding to the current position sensed by the GPS module module is received from the position data server, and the augmented reality data is received from the augmented reality data server and displayed on the left and right-eye display unit.

In addition, the position information and the augmented reality data corresponding to the new surrounding environment may be updated and displayed on the left and right eye display units 10 and 12 when the wearer moves or moves.

On the other hand, the smart glasses are provided with a miniature camera, and the images captured by the camera and displayed on the left and right eye display units 10 and 12 in comparison with images taken along the eyes of the wearer, The augmented reality data may be displayed on the display screen.

For example, as shown in FIG. 5, in addition to the position information image according to the direction in which the wearer looks, the user can simultaneously view the external environment while displaying the current time, weather, . ≪ / RTI >

While the present invention has been described with reference to the exemplary embodiments and the drawings, it is to be understood that the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to these embodiments and that various changes and modifications will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
