Abstract

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.

Claims

1. Reconfigurable garment comprising:

an ornament;

an identifier/sensor;

a pattern display;

a power source; and

a network interface coupled to the ornament, identifier/sensor, pattern display, and power source;

wherein the garment further comprises a human emotion detector coupled to a reconfigurable logic circuit that detects nerve signals of the human wearing such garment emitted from such human brain, whereby software-automated ambient intelligence responds to the detected human emotion to enable the garment and the reconfigurable logic circuit to adapt functionally or structurally according to the detected nerve signals and the ambient intelligence.

2. Garment of claim 1 wherein user access to the network interface enables garment reconfiguration.

3. Garment of claim 1 wherein:

said garment comprises a jacket, shirt, shoes or socks that adapts functionally or structurally by configuring an electro-adhesive element according to the detected nerve signals and the ambient intelligence.

4. Reconfigurable garment comprising:

a jacket or shirt;

a human emotion detector; and

a reconfigurable logic circuit;

wherein the human emotion detector or the reconfigurable circuit detects nerve signals of a person wearing such jacket or shirt, whereby software-automated ambient intelligence responds to detected human emotion by enabling the jacket or shirt or the reconfigurable logic circuit to adapt functionally or structurally according to the detected nerve signals and the ambient intelligence.

5. Garment of claim 4 wherein:

the jacket or shirt adapts functionally or structurally by configuring an electro-adhesive element according to the detected nerve signals and the ambient intelligence.

6. Reconfigurable garment comprising:

one or more shoes or socks;

a human emotion detector; and

a reconfigurable logic circuit;

wherein the human emotion detector or the reconfigurable circuit detects nerve signals of a person wearing such shoes or socks, whereby software-automated ambient intelligence responds to detected human emotion by enabling the shoes or socks or the reconfigurable logic circuit to adapt functionally or structurally according to the detected nerve signals and the ambient intelligence.

7. Garment of claim 6 wherein:

the shoes or socks adapts functionally or structurally by configuring an electro-adhesive element according to the detected nerve signals and the ambient intelligence.
