Description
BACKGROUND OR PROBLEM

People traveling alone may be at risk of being attacked from behind unaware by people and animals or be put at risk for being unable to see an approaching vehicle. Without being able to see danger behind, people may be seriously injured. Being unable to make quick decisions due to moving objects out of view can be frustrating. People may be scared to walk, jog, or hike in certain places due to the risk of surprised attacks.


SOLUTION





    • Provides users with a lightweight, waterproof headgear device that allows users to see what is happening behind them.

    • Includes a rear-facing camera on the back of the headgear that transmits a livestream video to a display screen on the front or a smartphone via Bluetooth.

    • Features speakers that can be placed in the ears to listen to music, take phone calls, or hear any other type of audio while wearing the device.

    • Utilizes a rechargeable battery to ensure the device can be consistently used for long periods of time while traveling.

    • Improves safety and security while offering entertainment when walking, jogging, hiking, cycling, using a scooter or otherwise being outdoors, along with military personnel, law enforcement, and security officers.





DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF INVENTION

The following presents a simplified summary in order to provide a basic understanding of some aspects of the disclosed innovation. This summary is not an extensive overview, and it is not intended to identify key/critical elements or to delineate the scope thereof. Its sole purpose is to present some concepts in a simplified form as a prelude to the more detailed description in the claims.


Eagle is a device that allows users to see what is happening behind them. The device is worn on the head and features a rear-facing camera and a corresponding left side retractable drop-down display screen from the left side of the ear towards the front for camera feed and other media. The screen can be adjusted to a desired angle, or it can be folded and closed when not in use. The device also includes Bluetooth connectivity for mobile devices, two side speakers near each ear, a light indicating the battery level, a power button, a USB charging port and an imbedded rechargeable battery for the power source.


The headgear features a waterproof and lightweight construction. The rear-facing camera can function during both day and night hours. When interfaced with a smartphone, users can control different functions on the headgear like playing audio through the speakers, viewing and listening to the camera, or from a smartphone. The transmission from the camera should have the option to either view the feed through the product screen or the smart phone. However, when the product screen is folded to the side, the only option is to view and listen on smartphone via the ear speakers through Bluetooth.


The interface app on smartphones should have full functionality of the product, including video recording, taking photos, volume control, the product's indicating the battery power level, video playback, and more, that are stored on the smartphone. Overall, users can maintain awareness of what is going on behind them through the camera. Exact size, measurement, construction, and design specifications may vary upon further development and manufacturing.


What has been described above includes examples of the claimed subject matter. It is, of course, not possible to describe every conceivable combination of components or methodologies for purposes of describing the claimed subject matter, but one of ordinary skill in the art may recognize that many further combinations and permutations of the claimed subject matter are possible. Accordingly, the claimed subject matter is intended to embrace all such alterations, modifications and variations that fall within the spirit and scope of the appended claims. Furthermore, to the extent that the term “includes” is used in either the detailed description or the claims, such term is intended to be inclusive in a manner similar to the term “comprising” as “comprising” is interpreted when employed as a transitional word in a claim.


SUMMARY
