ARTICLE OF CLOTHING CONFIGURED TO PROVIDE SIGNALS UPON OBJECT RECOGNITION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240023643 titled 'ARTICLE OF CLOTHING CONFIGURED TO PROVIDE SIGNALS UPON OBJECT RECOGNITION
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a jacket that includes electronic components, such as sensors, a control unit, and a signal generator unit. The control unit receives measured values from the sensors and generates control signals based on these values. The signal generator unit then outputs a predefined signal that can be perceived by the wearer or an external observer of the jacket.
- The jacket is made up of multiple cut parts that are sewn together, with each part cut to size from a fabric.
- The electronic components integrated into the jacket include at least one sensor unit, a control unit, and a signal generator unit.
- During the jacket's operating phase, the control unit receives measured values from the sensor unit and generates control signals based on these values.
- The signal generator unit outputs a predefined signal in response to receiving a predefined control signal.
- The predefined signal can be perceived by the wearer of the jacket or by an external observer.
Potential Applications:
- Smart clothing: The integration of electronic components into clothing opens up possibilities for various applications in the field of wearable technology.
- Safety and security: The sensor unit can be used to detect the presence of external objects, providing enhanced safety and security features.
- Communication: The signal generator unit can output signals that convey information or messages to the wearer or external observers.
Problems Solved:
- Limited functionality of traditional clothing: This innovation addresses the limitations of traditional clothing by adding electronic components that enable additional features and functionalities.
- Enhanced safety and security: The presence of the sensor unit allows for the detection of external objects, providing a potential solution for safety and security concerns.
Benefits:
- Convenience: The integration of electronic components into clothing eliminates the need for separate devices, providing a more convenient user experience.
- Customizability: The control unit can generate control signals based on the measured values, allowing for customization and personalization of the jacket's functionality.
- Improved safety: The sensor unit can detect the presence of external objects, contributing to improved safety for the wearer.
- Communication capabilities: The signal generator unit can output signals that convey information or messages, enabling communication through the jacket.
Original Abstract Submitted
an article of clothing, in particular a jacket, comprising a plurality of cut parts each cut to size from a fabric and sewn together, the article of clothing including electronic components. as electronic components, the article of clothing comprises at least one sensor unit for detecting a presence of an external object, a control unit and an electronic signal generator unit, wherein the control unit is designed to receive measured values from the sensor unit during an operating phase of the article of clothing and to transmit control signals generated as a function of the read measured values to the signal generator unit, the signal generator unit being designed to output a predefined signal which can be perceived by a wearer of the article of clothing and/or by an external observer of the article of clothing on receipt of a predefined control signal.
