Abstract

A lingerie comprises an upper panel, a lower panel, and a signal-activated fastener. The upper panel is generally oriented horizontally and the lower panel is generally oriented vertically with respect to a wearer'"'"'s body. The upper panel includes a first strap and a second strap and the lower panel includes one or more frontal straps and a back strap. The signal-activated fastener is coupled with one end of the first strap and one end of the second strap, the first ends of the one or more frontal straps are coupled with the upper panel, one end of the back strap is coupled with one the first strap and second strap, and the signal-activated fastener is responsive to a signal and operative to unfasten causing the lingerie to fall off from the wearer'"'"'s body.

Claims

1. A lingerie comprising:

(a) an upper panel that is generally oriented horizontally with respect to a wearer'"'"'s body, said upper panel including a first strap and a second strap;

(b) a lower panel that is generally oriented vertically with respect to the wearer'"'"'s body, said lower panel including one or more frontal straps and a back strap; and

(c) a signal-activated fastener;

wherein the signal-activated fastener is coupled with one end of the first strap and one end of the second strap, wherein the first ends of the one or more frontal straps are coupled with the upper panel, wherein one end of the back strap is coupled with one the first strap and second strap, and wherein the signal-activated fastener is responsive to a signal and operative to unfasten causing the lingerie to fall off from the wearer'"'"'s body.

2. The lingerie of claim 1, wherein at least one of the first strap, the second strap, the one or more frontal straps, and the back strap comprises elastic material, wherein by fastening the signal-activated fastener the elastic material in the at least one of the first strap, the second strap, the one or more frontal straps, and the back strap is stretched, and wherein by unfastening the signal-activated fastener, the strain energy associated with the stretched elastic material further causes the lingerie to fall off from the wearer'"'"'s body.

3. The lingerie of claim 1, wherein the signal-activated fastener comprises:

(a) a latching component;

(b) a sensor operative to generate an electrical signal;

(c) a controller responsive to the electrical signal and operative to generate a control signal; and

(d) an actuator coupled with the latching component thereby fastening the lingerie;

wherein the actuator is responsive to the control signal and operative to actuate thereby decoupling from the latching component.

4. The lingerie of claim 3, wherein the sensor is capable of sensing at least one of a biometric signal, a sound pressure wave signal, a radio wave signal, an infrared wave signal, and a visible light wave signal.

5. The lingerie of claim 4, wherein the controller generates the control signal upon verifying that the electrical signal comprises two consecutive pressure rise within a predetermined time interval.

6. The lingerie of claim 4, wherein the controller generates the control signal upon verifying that the electrical signal comprises a single pressure rise including a predetermined amplitude.

7. The lingerie of claim 4, wherein the controller generates the control signal upon verifying that the electrical signal substantially matches a predetermined signal.

8. The lingerie of claim 7, wherein the predetermined signal is at least one of a password, a phrase, and a combination thereof.

9. The lingerie of claim 4, wherein the radio wave signal is one of a Bluetooth signal and a WI-FI

10. The lingerie of claim 4, wherein the sensor is a microphone.

11. A method for unfastening a lingerie, said lingerie comprising:

(a) an upper panel that is generally oriented horizontally with respect to a wearer'"'"'s body, said upper panel including a first strap and a second strap;

(b) a lower panel that is generally oriented vertically with respect to the wearer'"'"'s body, said lower panel including one or more frontal straps and a back strap; and

(c) a signal-activated fastener;

wherein the signal-activated fastener is coupled with one end of the first strap and one end of the second strap, wherein the first ends of the one or more frontal straps are coupled with the upper panel, wherein one end of the back strap is coupled with one the first strap and second strap;

said method comprising;

(i) responding to a signal via the signal-activated fastener; and

(ii) unfastening the signal-activated fastener causing the lingerie to fall off from the wearer'"'"'s body.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein at least one of the first strap, the second strap, the one or more frontal straps, and the back strap comprises elastic material, wherein by fastening the signal-activated fastener the elastic material in the at least one of the first strap, the second strap, the one or more frontal straps, and the back strap is stretched, and wherein by unfastening the signal-activated fastener, the strain energy associated with the stretched elastic material further causes the lingerie to fall off from the wearer'"'"'s body.

13. The method of claim 11, wherein the signal-activated fastener comprises:

(a) a latching component;

(b) a sensor operative to generate an electrical signal;

(c) a controller responsive to the electrical signal and operative to generate a control signal; and

(d) an actuator coupled with the latching component thereby fastening the lingerie;

wherein the actuator is responsive to the control signal and operative to actuate thereby decoupling from the latching component.

14. The method of claim 13, wherein the sensor is capable of sensing at least one of a biometric signal, a sound pressure wave signal, a radio wave signal, an infrared wave signal, and a visible light wave signal.

15. The method of claim 14, wherein the controller generates the control signal upon verifying that the electrical signal comprises two consecutive pressure rise within a predetermined time interval.

16. The method of claim 14, wherein the controller generates the control signal upon verifying that the electrical signal comprises a single pressure rise including a predetermined amplitude

17. The method of claim 14, wherein the controller generates the control signal upon verifying that the electrical signal substantially matches a predetermined signal.

18. The method of claim 17, wherein the predetermined signal is at least one of a password, a phrase, and a combination thereof.

19. The method of claim 14, wherein the radio wave signal is one of a Bluetooth signal and a WI-FI signal.

20. The method of claim 14, wherein the sensor is a microphone.
