SamsungWhenSonyHas been filing a patent application for smart contact lenses with built-in tiny cameras and processors in succession, it became clear that Google applied for a patent on electronic lenses operated by eyeballs in 2014. According to the published patent application, it is necessary to inject a liquid containing a processor and an antenna into the eyeball and fix itIntra-ocular deviceIt is a patent concerning.

According to Google's patent application published by Us Patent & Tradework Office (USPTO), Google insists on patents relating to "Electronic lenses operated by the refractive power and intensity of the eye's light". The electronic lenses are equipped with processors, antennas, controllers, displays, communication interfaces, etc. Although detailed mechanism is unknown, it is said that they will be powered by "energy harvesting antenna".

Samsung and Sony's smart contact lenses are distinguished from the smart contact lenses by "wearing eyeballs" in the installation method, which is explained as follows.

Inject a fluid into a lens capsule of an eye.
EyeballLens capsuleInject liquid into)
Position an intra-ocular device within the fluid in the lens capsule.
(Placing the intraocular device in the lens capsule of the eyeball)
Solidify the fluid in the lens capsule to form a coupling between the lens capsule and the intra-ocular device.
(It coagulates the liquid in the lens capsule of the eye and forms a joint between the lens capsule and the intraocular device)

Devices formed in the eyeball through the above process can be detected by sensors with the intensity of light and the degree of gathering and are considered to be able to be manipulated according to the movements of the eyeballs. It is unknown what kind of OS will be used, but someday it may be the day "to inject Android in your eyes".
