Lenovo Might Be Developing Google Glass Competitor, Patent Shows

Today brings to our attention a new patent filled by Lenovo, a company mostly known for its laptop and PC business.

Apparently, the tech giant has filed a patent with the USPTO entitled “Electronic Device and Sound Capturing Method” which details a device that looks extremely reminiscent of the Google Glass (as seen at Ubergizmo).

It appears the mirage of the Glass is slowing drawing the competition in. Samsung filled a similar patent that was uncovered not so long ago and now Lenovo is doing the same.

Surely, just because a company is filing a patent doesn't mean the device will ever see the light of day, but at least the move tells us Lenovo is considering the scenario.

Judging by the description in the documents, the device is relatively simple, bundling a built-in audio, video recorder and VOD display. So it seems fair to assume that the Lenovo “Glass” will be able to display notifications on the screen, send out messages and the like.

Interestingly enough, the patent states this is a “recording device” and doesn't mention the term “wearable,” but maybe this is Lenovo’s way of avoiding a big, fat lawsuit.

Even if wearables aren't breaking any sales records, the field is developing fast and every major tech company has taken a keen interest in the ecosystem. Lenovo has demonstrated interest for wearables in the past and it was speculated the tech giant might even take up Android Wear for a spin.

Lenovo Files For New Glass-Like Device Patent

While Google Glass has just gone international yesterday, this does not mean that the technology giant has a monopoly when it comes to wearable viewing devices. Other companies, too, would want in on a piece of the action, computer manufacturer Lenovo included. Lenovo recently filed for a basic patent for an “Electronic Device And Sound Capturing Method.” This particular device has already made an appearance on the USPTO website, where it does seem to resemble that of a Google Glass clone, so for the sake of reference, one might call this the Lenovo Glass at the moment.
The Lenovo Glass works this way – it comes with an audio and video recorder, and will be accompanied by light-pump VOD displays which do seem to hail from the folks over at Lumus Labs. This particular configuration would make the Lenovo Glass to be a wearable heads-up display, and with the assistance of bone conduction microphones located in the earpieces, it will also introduce wireless communication into the mix.
The patent claims that this device is more of a recording device compared to that of a piece of wearable tech, which might come in handy down the road so that there will be no lawsuits from potential competitors down the road.
