Abstract

Some implementations of this disclosure provide an electronically customizable article comprising a fashion article selected from the group consisting of a handbag, a shoe, glasses, a tie, and a bowtie wherein the fashion article comprises an electronic visual display, a processor, a communication interface for communication between the fashion article and a network, and a non-transitory computer readable medium containing instructions that, when executed by the processor, causes the fashion article to connect to a server over the network, receive data from the server, and display one or more images associated with the data on the electronic visual display.

Claims

1. An apparatus comprising:

a fashion article selected from the group consisting of the following;

a handbag, shoes, glasses, a tie, a bowtie, a bracelet, a necklace, earrings, a ring, a garment, a name tag, a belt, a wallet, and optical frame, the fashion article comprising;

an electronic visual multi touch-sensitive hand writing recognition capable display integral with the fashion article,

a sound sensor,

at least one camera,

a processor,

a biometric component, wherein the biometric component is configured to operate the electronically customizable article,

a location component, wherein the location component comprises at least one of a GPS receiver, a Bluetooth locator, and a Wi-Fi locator,

a communication interface for communication between the fashion article and a network, and

a non-transitory computer readable medium containing instructions that, when executed by the processor, causes the fashion article to;

display visual content on the electronic multi touch-sensitive hand writing recognition capable display,

wherein the visual content comprises at least one of the following;

an image, video, color, pattern and design, and further comprising a user selected set of images,

receive sensor data, wherein the received sensor data comprises visual input from the camera, audio data and location information,

manipulate the visual content to make the user selected set of images contextually relevant based on the visual input from the camera, wherein a modification comprises matching the user selected set of images based on the received visual input and wherein the electronic visual display is placed in a locked position thereby disabling accidental navigation while only displaying one or more of the user selected set of images,

wherein the fashion article is further configured to, in response to the received sensor data;

modify the visual content based on the audio data, wherein a modification comprises a visual simulation of displayed visual content based on audio data,

provide one or more audible notifications based on the location information, and

provide one or more visual notifications based on the location information.

2. The electronically customizable article of claim 1, wherein the electronic visual multi touch-sensitive hand writing recognition capable display is configured to:

rotate the visual content on the electronic visual multi touch-sensitive hand writing recognition capable display based on a position of the electronically customizable article, and

place the visual content in a locked position disabling any accidental navigation of display content.

3. The electronically customizable article of claim 2, further comprising a plurality of electronic visual multi touch-sensitive displays, wherein the electronic visual multi touch-sensitive displays are configured to be positioned at one or more positions on the fashion article;

wherein the electronically customizable articles are configured to display content synchronously with one or more other electronic visual multi touch-sensitive displays.

4. The electronically customizable article of claim 3, wherein the electronically customizable article is configured to display content simultaneously or in synchronous with one or more other electronically customizable articles.

5. The electronically customizable article of claim 1, wherein the electronic visual multi touch-sensitive hand writing recognition capable display is configured to display data associated with an email.

6. The electronically customizable article of claim 1, wherein the electronic visual multi touch-sensitive hand writing recognition capable display is configured to display data associated with a text message.
