OBJECT OF THE INVENTION:
The primary object of the invention is to provide customized assistant glasses for brain paralysis people.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION:
This invention introduces a versatile and multifunctional smart glasses system designed to significantly enhance the quality of life for individuals with diverse needs, particularly those with partial blindness or paralysis. By integrating advanced hardware and software technologies, the system offers a user-friendly solution that combines real-time data processing, navigation assistance, sleep monitoring, brain activity analysis, and multimedia capabilities in a single wearable device. One of the core features of the invention is its EEG-based brain activity monitoring system. Using an EEG sensor, the smart glasses capture brain wave signals, which are then preprocessed to remove noise and artifacts. The system filters the signals into delta, theta, alpha, beta, and gamma waves for analysis. By applying machine learning algorithms and techniques like power spectral density calculations and mean amplitude measurements, the system provides insights into brain activity, facilitating applications such as cognitive health monitoring.
The invention also includes an EOG-based eye movement detection system, which measures left and right eye movements using EOG sensors. Deep learning models analyze the sensor data to identify patterns indicative of paralysis in specific areas of the body. This feature is particularly beneficial for individuals requiring precise assessments of neural or muscular impairments. In terms of communication and real-time data access, the smart glasses feature an OLED display integrated with a processor and a Bluetooth module. This setup enables seamless connectivity with mobile devices, allowing users to access real-time information such as date, time, notifications, messages, and battery status directly on the glasses' display. This functionality ensures a streamlined and efficient user experience, particularly for users who require hands-free operation.
The system's navigation assistance is powered by an ultrasonic sensor, which continuously monitors the user's surroundings to detect obstacles. When an obstacle is identified, feedback mechanisms, including vibrating buzzers or LED lights, are activated to alert the user. This feature enhances mobility and safety, making the glasses particularly valuable for partially blind individuals. Additionally, an IR sensor monitors eye blinking patterns to detect drowsiness. If drowsiness is detected, the system triggers alerts, such as vibrating the buzzer, to keep the user alert, especially during critical tasks like driving.
The ESP32 processor, combined with a camera module, extends the glasses' functionality to multimedia applications. The camera captures video and images, supports minor hand gesture recognition, and provides flexible storage options via SD cards or FTP servers. With built-in Wi-Fi connectivity, the camera module allows seamless access to stored media across multiple networks, enhancing usability and accessibility. To ensure a robust, lightweight, and ergonomic design, all hardware components are securely integrated into a custom-designed sunglasses frame manufactured using advanced 3D printing technology. This design not only offers durability and functionality but also accommodates aesthetic preferences and comfort for a diverse range of users.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The present invention presents a comprehensive system combining EEG-based brain activity monitoring, obstacle detection, drowsiness monitoring, object recognition, and navigation assistance for individuals with paralysis or partial blindness, offering a versatile and user-friendly design. One of the key features is the monitoring of brain activity using electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. The system captures EEG signals, which are then preprocessed to remove noise and artifacts. Filtering methods extract delta, theta, alpha, beta, and gamma waveforms, which are further analyzed using advanced techniques such as power spectral density (PSD) calculations and mean amplitude measurements. This process, performed using tools like LabVIEW software, provides valuable insights into the user's cognitive state, facilitating health monitoring and therapeutic interventions.
In addition, the invention employs electrooculography (EOG) to assess eye movement. This technique measures the corneo-retinal standing potential to capture left and right eye movements. Leveraging deep learning algorithms, the system analyzes this data to identify paralysis on specific sides of the patient, enabling precise diagnostic capabilities for neurological and muscular impairments.

A robust processor forms the backbone of the device, managing real-time data transmission and display via an OLED screen. Paired with a Bluetooth module, the processor establishes seamless communication with the user's mobile device, enabling the reception and display of data such as date, time, messages, notifications, and battery status. This hands-free interaction enhances convenience, particularly for users requiring accessibility solutions.
Navigation assistance is provided through an integrated ultrasonic sensor, which emits waves to detect obstacles in the user's environment. The system processes these signals to identify hazards, triggering alerts like vibrating buzzers or activating LED lights. This functionality ensures enhanced mobility and safety for users with visual impairments. Additionally, an IR sensor monitors blinking patterns to detect drowsiness, triggering similar feedback mechanisms to keep users alert during critical activities, such as driving or operating machinery. The glasses are equipped with a camera module powered by the ESP32 processor, expanding their functionality to multimedia applications. The module supports video and image capture, hand gesture recognition, and flexible storage options, including SD cards and private FTP servers. Built-in Wi-Fi connectivity facilitates seamless access to captured media across networks, ensuring data accessibility and secure storage.
To accommodate the hardware components, the device incorporates a custom 3D-printed frame. This frame ensures a compact, lightweight, and ergonomic design that is both durable and aesthetically pleasing. The design integrates the processor, sensors, OLED display, and other components securely, providing optimal functionality and comfort tailored to user preferences.
