For example, the signal control module 2 can use a central processing unit (CPU), a digital signal processor (DSP), a microprocessor (MPU), a microcontroller (MCU) or any type of control chip with any type of memory. Moreover, the first image capturing module 3 includes a plurality of first image sensors 30 that can be made through a semiconductor process and disposed around the first eyeglass frame structure 11 (that is to say, the first image sensors 30 can be configured to surround the first eyeglass lens structure 13 and be surrounded by the first eyeglass frame structure 11), the first image sensors 30 can be surroundingly arranged inside or outside the first surrounding groove 112, and each of the first image sensors 30 has a first sensing area 300 facing the first lens 131 of the first eyeglass lens structure 13. Moreover, the second image capturing module 4 includes a plurality of second image sensors 40 that can be made through a semiconductor process and disposed around the second eyeglass frame structure 12 (that is to say, the second image sensors 40 can be configured to surround the second eyeglass lens structure 14 and be surrounded by the second eyeglass frame structure 12), the second image sensors 40 can be surroundingly arranged inside or outside of the second surrounding groove 122, and each of the second image sensors 40 has a second sensing area 400 facing the second lens 141 of the second eyeglass lens structure 14.

However, the aforementioned details are disclosed for exemplary purposes only, and are not meant to limit the scope of the present disclosure.
Therefore, referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 5, FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, when the multifunctional head-mounted device H is optionally configured to be worn by a user, the first image sensors 30 can be allowed to be configured through the signal control module 2 to capture or obtain a first eyeball image M1 (a right eyeball image) of a first eye E1 of the user through a first optical waveguide channel 1300 (or a first light transmission channel, or a first reflective diffraction optical channel) provided by the first eyeglass lens structure 13, and the second image sensors 40 can be allowed to be configured through the signal control module 2 to capture or obtain a second eyeball image M2 (a left eyeball image) of a second eye E2 of the user through a second optical waveguide channel 1400 (or a second light transmission channel, or a second reflective diffraction optical channel) provided by the second eyeglass lens structure 14, thereby tracking the eyeball positions of the left eye and the right eye of the user in real time. More particularly, when the first image sensors 30 can be configured to capture the first eyeball image M1 of the first eye E1 of the user, a first eyeball reflected light R1 (or a plurality of first eyeball reflected beams R1) generated from or by the first eye E1 can be reflected multiple times between the first external reflective layer 132 and the first internal reflective layer 133 of the first eyeglass lens structure 13 (or can be transmitted within the first optical waveguide channel 1300) and then is projected onto the first image sensors 30. In addition, when the second image sensors 40 can be configured to capture the second eyeball image M2 of the second eye E2 of the user, a second eyeball reflected light R2 (or a plurality of second eyeball reflected beams R2) generated from the second eye E2 can be reflected multiple times between the second external reflective layer 142 and the second internal reflective layer 143 of the second eyeglass lens structure 14 (or can be transmitted within the second optical waveguide channel 1400) and then is projected onto the second image sensors 40.

In addition, when the second image sensors 40 can be configured to capture the second eyeball image M2 of the second eye E2 of the user, the external light source ES (as shown in FIG. 6) or a second projection beam L2 (or a plurality of second projection beams L2) provided by a plurality of second light-emitting chips C2 (such as a plurality of second LED chips or a plurality of second infrared LED chips arranged surroundingly) of the multifunctional head-mounted device H (as shown in FIG. 7) can be reflected by the second eye E2 to generate a second eyeball reflected light R2, and the second eyeball reflected light R2 (or a plurality of second eyeball reflected beams R2) can be reflected multiple times between the second external reflective layer 142 and the second internal reflective layer 143 of the second eyeglass lens structure 14 (or can be transmitted within the second optical waveguide channel 1400) and then is projected onto the second image sensors 40. However, the aforementioned details are disclosed for exemplary purposes only, and are not meant to limit the scope of the present disclosure.
More particularly, referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 2, FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, the multifunctional head-mounted device H provided by the first embodiment of the present disclosure further includes a first image generating module 5 and a second image generating module 6. Moreover, the first image generating module 5 can cooperate with the device casing module 1 and be electrically connected to the signal control module 2, the first image generating module 5 includes a plurality of first image generating chips 50 (or a plurality of first light-emitting chips), and the plurality of first image generating chips 50 can be configured to surround the first eyeglass lens structure 13 and be surrounded by the first eyeglass frame structure 11. In addition, the second image generating module 6 can cooperate with the device casing module 1 and be electrically connected to the signal control module 2, the second image generating module 6 includes a plurality of second image generating chips 60 (or a plurality of second light-emitting chips), and the plurality of second image generating chips 60 can be configured to surround the second eyeglass lens structure 14 and be surrounded by the second eyeglass frame structure 12. For example, the first image generating chips 50 (such as a plurality of first LED chips) can be made through a semiconductor process and sequentially arranged on a first circuit substrate S1 to surround the first lens 131 of the first eyeglass lens structure 13, the first image generating chips 50 can be surroundingly arranged inside or outside the first surrounding groove 112, and each of the first image generating chips 50 has a first light-emitting area 500 facing the first lens 131 of the first eyeglass lens structure 13.

However, the aforementioned details are disclosed for exemplary purposes only, and are not meant to limit the scope of the present disclosure.
Therefore, referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 9, when the multifunctional head-mounted device H is optionally configured to be worn by a user, the plurality of first image generating chips 50 are allowed to be configured through the signal control module 2 to project a first predetermined image beam P1 (a plurality of first predetermined image beams P1) onto a first eye E1 of the user through a first optical waveguide channel 1300 provided by the first eyeglass lens structure 13.

More particularly, when the first image generating chips 50 are configured to project the first predetermined image beam P1 onto the first eye E1 of the user, the first predetermined image beam P1 generated by the first image generating chips 50 can be reflected multiple times between the first external reflective layer 132 and the first internal reflective layer 133 of the first eyeglass lens structure 13 (or can be transmitted within the first optical waveguide channel 1300) and then be projected onto the first eye E1 of the user. In addition, when the second image generating chips 60 are configured to project the second predetermined image beam P2 onto the second eye E2 of the user, the second predetermined image beam P2 generated by the second image generating chips 60 can be reflected multiple times between the second external reflective layer 142 and the second internal reflective layer 143 of the second eyeglass lens structure 14 (or can be transmitted within the second optical waveguide channel 1400) and then is projected onto the second eye E2 of the user.
