Description

  This invention embeds a written IC chip having various information on the quality, brand, size, etc. of a high-grade spectacle frame from designers, producers, distributors to consumers to embed various information and The present invention relates to a spectacle frame having an IC chip that can be publicly distributed.

  In general, in the case of eyeglass frames, there is a great deal of information that must be communicated in relation to the fashionability from producers to consumers through distributors. For example, the material of the spectacle frame, the quality of the surface treatment, the size of each part of the spectacle frame, the brand name, the producer name, and the like. Conventionally, such information can be transmitted only by imprinting on the spectacle frame body. The size of the marking was quite small, 0.5 to 2.0 mm, due to the characteristics of the spectacle frame.

  Therefore, in general, the consumer of the spectacle frame determines the purchase item based on the above-described information of the inscription that is difficult to read, which is extremely inconvenient for the consumer of the spectacle frame.

  The most common way to solve this problem is for a store clerk to give a verbal or catalog explanation at a retail store, but the clerk's verbal explanation does not explain everything And even if the clerk explains everything, consumers often can't remember. Therefore, as a result, only a small amount of information about the spectacle frame is effectively used.

  However, in the present invention, an IC chip, which has never existed in the past, is embedded in a part of the components of the spectacle frame to prevent falsification of the IC chip, and the IC chip is read from the outside to obtain much information on the spectacle frame. It is a completely new invention that cannot be known in the past.

  This invention reads all the information that the consumer wants to know on the spectacle frame, by writing all the information such as material, surface treatment quality, size of each part, brand name, manufacturer name, etc. to the IC chip. The purpose is to be able to know instantly and to know all information from the production of the spectacle frame to the brand name. Therefore, as a result, it is possible for the consumer to know whether or not the eyeglass frame of the brand name is a genuine brand product even if the tag of the brand name is attached.

The present invention employs a means in which an IC chip in which various information is written is embedded in a part of the spectacle frame so as not to be seen from the outside, and information described in the IC chip is read.
The IC chip is embedded in a modern manner to be fitted to a temple of a spectacle frame, so that the information described in the IC chip can be read by a contact type or non-contact type reader, and further, A means in which a writable part and a non-writable part are set is adopted.

  The spectacle frame according to the present invention has an IC chip attached to a part of the spectacle frame, and has a function of fixing manufacturer-written information on the IC chip. Further, wholesalers, retailers, consumer information Since it has a writable function, the fairness of all information on the spectacle frame is guaranteed, and the efficiency of consumers, distributors and producers is promoted, and true consumer protection is realized.

In addition, since the IC chip can be embedded in a portion that cannot be seen from the outside, there is no possibility of impairing the fashionability of the spectacle frame.
Further, since the IC chip is embedded in a part of the spectacle frame, it is not possible to make unfair such as falsification of information, and it is possible to prevent damage or replacement of the IC chip.

  And the spectacle frame with IC chip will raise consumers' willingness to purchase, increase the product selection range of distributors, improve the efficiency of product management, and realize services for consumers. Can do. Manufacturers can deliver their technology to consumers by adding it to a fair and high quality product. Furthermore, it has the effect that it can contribute to the maintenance of the brand in the spectacle frame and fair price determination.

  By embedding an IC chip in which various information is written in the spectacle frame main body in the spectacle frame, the information written in the IC chip can be taken out at any time, and all the information on the spectacle frame can be obtained instantaneously.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention shown in the drawings will be described.
FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a spectacle frame according to the present invention. The spectacle frame 1 includes a pair of left and right rims 3 and 3 connected via a bridge 2 and a pair of left and right rims 3 and 3. It has armors 4 and 4 attached to the outside respectively, and temples 5 and 5 that are connected to both armors 4 and 4 so as to be pivotable in the opening and closing directions, respectively. Modern 6 and 6 as shown in 2 are respectively fitted.

  8 and 8 are nose pads attached to the legs 7 and 7 attached to the inside of the rims 3 and 3 and held on both sides of the user's nose, and 9 and 9 are held by the rims 3 and 3. It is a lens that has been.

  The temples 5 and 5 of the spectacle frame 1 as described above and the moderns 6 and 6 fitted to the temples 5 and 5 are configured as shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, and FIG. 3 shows the combined state. FIG. 4 is a view taken along line AA in FIG. 3, and FIG. 5 is a view taken along line BB in FIG. The modern 6, 6 is provided with a hole 10 with a narrowed end so that the end of the temple 5, 5 with a narrowed end can be inserted into the center, and the temple 5 is placed in the hole 10. 5 and 6 are brought into contact with the user's ears by inserting and attaching the ends of 5.

  An IC chip 16 having an antenna 15 is embedded in the modern 6, and the overall length is slightly shorter than the length of the modern 6. In other words, the modern 6 is formed slightly longer than the IC chip 16 including the antenna 15 so that the IC chip 16 and the antenna 15 are not exposed from the outer surface of the modern 6. Therefore, as apparent from FIGS. 4 and 5, the IC chip 16 and its antenna 15 are embedded in parallel with the hole 10 of the modern 6.

  Since the IC chip 16 is embedded in the modern 6 as described above and the antenna 15 is provided in the IC chip 16, information described in the IC chip 16 can be read from the outside without contact.

  Note that, depending on the length of the antenna 15, the information reading distance is shortened, but at this time, it can be taken out by a contact method. In this case, since the IC chip 16 is embedded, the information is not directly contacted with the reading device, but is read at a slight distance from the embedded device. The contact type.

  In other words, the present invention intends to cope with information expanding in all fields by using an IC chip. Up to now, it was thought that IC glasses could not be mounted on eyeglass frames due to their size and fashion. However, IC integration is a necessary technology for expanding information, globalizing products, and taking responsibility for consumers.

  First, downsizing of an IC chip, which is a major problem with the introduction of ICs, is currently progressing to a size of 1 mm square or less. Furthermore, the reading method is preferably a non-contact type in consideration of the three-dimensional shape of the spectacle frame, but it may be a contact type depending on the embedded part of the IC chip.

  As a non-contact type, a rod-shaped IC chip with an antenna is embedded in a component part of the spectacle frame, and all data related to the spectacle frame is written into the IC chip.

  Since the shape of the spectacle frame is infinite and the size of all parts is small, it is extremely inconvenient to embed an IC chip in all parts. However, as an embodiment of the present invention, it is convenient to embed in a modern part which is a part to be hung on an ear part because the length of the modern part is approximately 70 mm to 90 mm even if the cross-sectional area changes.

It has been found that the size of this modern size exactly matches the size required for IC chips with antennas. Since the reading distance can be changed by adjusting the length of the antenna, personal information of written information in the spectacle frame can be protected.
The antenna length is 30 mm or 60 mm when the frequency of 2.45 GHz is used, so that the antenna length can be applied to a spectacle frame, and the readable distance can be about 50 mm to about 1000 mm. .

  In the case of the contact type as described above, the length of the modern is not affected, but there is a case where a technique for not scratching the modern at the time of contact is required.

  In addition, although the case where the IC chip was embed | buried modernly was demonstrated as the said embodiment, it is not limited to this, For example, even if it is a temple which made the color by coating several layers on the surface, IC inside It is possible to embed a chip, and the embedment location is not limited.

It is the schematic which shows the state which looked at the spectacles frame by this invention from diagonally. It is the schematic which shows modern. It is the schematic which shows the connection state of a temple and modern. It is the schematic seen along the AA line of FIG. It is the schematic seen along the BB line of FIG.
