Abstract

Un dispositif pour localiser des lunettes égarées comprend : un émetteur de communication en relation avec un moyen d'activation, les deux étant intégrés dans une station de charge, un récepteur de communication, un moyen d'émission de son et une batterie, tous les trois étant conçus pour être installés dans les lunettes ou dans un module pouvant être fixé de manière amovible aux lunettes. Lorsqu'une pression est appliquée au moyen d'activation, le moyen d'activation active l'émetteur de communication pour émettre un signal vers le récepteur de communication, qui active à son tour le moyen d'émission de son pour sortir un son. Une mise en œuvre utilisant un émetteur BluetoothTM d'un Smartphone par l'intermédiaire d'un logiciel dédié est également possible. La station de charge comprend des moyens de support formés pour supporter les lunettes pour recharger leur batterie par induction.
