Reconfigurable garment definition and production method
View Patent ↗Computer-aided design and manufacture software and hardware automate garment and fashion definition and production. Configurable garment includes ornamental element, pattern display, and personal identifier and wireless sensor electronics.
1. Electronically-configurable glasses comprising:
wearable glasses;
a media player coupled to the glasses; and
an interface for electronically providing media to the media player,
wherein software enables real-time user-control to configure media player operation, said software configuring electronically a variable color element, a variable shade element, a variable opacity element, a variable rigidity element, a variable shape element, or a variable reflectivity element according to a computerized expert or consultant program that stylistically recommends such element configuration of the glasses using a user template, parameter or sensed condition.
2. Glasses of claim 1 wherein:
the interface provides wireless communication for downloading media from a network.
3. Glasses of claim 1 wherein:
the media player comprises a mobile phone having an organic light emitting display and a portable fuel cell.
4. Glasses of claim 1 further comprising:
a perfume or pheromone dispenser controllable by the software.
5. Glasses of claim 1 further comprising:
a sensor coupled to the interface for sensing a patient condition or indicating a medical alarm.
6. Glasses of claim 1 wherein:
the media comprises down-loadable music, such that usage thereof is chargeable financially to the user.
7. Glasses of claim 1 wherein:
the software comprises a GUI for assisting user definition, configuration or selection according to a garment definition, design template or style, or expert design template.
8. Integrated glasses and music player apparatus comprising:
glasses; and
a music player coupled to the glasses,
wherein the music player electronically or wirelessly accesses music media from a network, and software configures electronically a variable color element, a variable shade element, a variable opacity element, a variable rigidity element, a variable shape element, or a variable reflectivity element according to a computerized expert or consultant program that stylistically recommends such element configuration of the glasses using a user template, parameter or sensed condition.
9. Apparatus of claim 8 further comprising:
a mobile phone having a global positioning locator.
10. Apparatus of claim 8 further comprising:
a medical sensor coupled to the glasses for enabling a doctor or hospital computer to monitor a patient wearing the glasses; and
an electronically-controlled medicine dispenser coupled to the glasses.
11. Apparatus of claim 8 further comprising:
a human-emotion detector coupled to the glasses; and an electronically-controlled perfume or pheromone dispenser coupled to the glasses.
12. Apparatus of claim 8 wherein:
the music media is accessible using software for choosing, selecting, configuring or defining a garment definition, a design template or style, or an expert design template.
13. Method for configuring electronic glasses having media player comprising steps:
configuring a media player coupled to glasses for playing one or more media selection; and
accessing such selection wirelessly from a network;
wherein the configuring step electronically configures a variable color element, a variable shade element, a variable opacity element, a variable rigidity element, a variable shape element, or a variable reflectivity element according to a computerized expert or consultant program that stylistically recommends such element configuration of the glasses using a user template, parameter or sensed condition.
14. Method of claim 13 wherein:
the media player is configurable using GUI software for assisting user selection according to a garment definition, design template or style, or expert design template.
15. Method of claim 13 wherein:
the media player comprises a mobile telephone including an RFID device.
16. Method of claim 13 wherein:
the configuring step comprises simulating a prototype model or media application.
