Apparatus and method to assess contents of wearable items
First Claim
1. A frame for assessing contents of a wearable item, comprising:
- a substrate comprising;
a plurality of sections positioned adjacent relative to each other and each distinguished by a demarcation;
a coupling element configured to affix the substrate to a surface of the wearable item;
a system positioned on a section included in the plurality of sections comprising;
a control circuit;
a sensor communicatively coupled to the control circuit;
an I/O device communicatively coupled to the control circuit;
the control circuit configured to;
receive, via the sensor, a wireless signal transmitted by a first computing device positioned proximate to a surface of an object positioned within the wearable item, and thereby determine a presence of the first computing device within a threshold distance relative to the sensor; and
present, via the I/O device, a status when a triggering event is generated, the triggering event consisting of receiving the wireless signal or not receiving the wireless signal, the status selected from a group consisting of;
a first status when the wireless signal is received and a second status when the wireless signal is not received; and
whereinthe wearable item is a personal item;
the demarcation comprises one or more of a folding line, a crease, an incision line, and a fastener; and
the substrate comprises an orientation configured to be modified according to the demarcation.

Abstract
In some embodiments, frames and methods are provided herein useful to assess the contents of wearable items (personal wearable item). In some embodiments, the frame includes a substrate and a system positioned on a section of the frame'"'"'s substrate. The substrate includes sections positioned adjacent relative to each other and each distinguished by a demarcation; and coupling elements each configured to affix the substrate to a surface(s) of the wearable item. The system includes one or more control circuits, sensors, and I/O devices. The control circuit(s) can receive wireless signals transmitted by computing device; use the received signals to determine the present of the computing devices; and present the status of the presence of the wireless signal.
