Abstract

The invention discloses a social networking system which includes a main data processing apparatus, a plurality of smart clothing apparatus and a plurality of sub-data-processing apparatuses. Each smart clothing apparatus includes a light-emitting device assembly. Each sub-data-processing apparatus corresponds to one of the smart clothing apparatuses. The main data processing apparatus transmits an inquiry information to each sub-data-processing apparatus. The inquiry information includes a plurality of selection data and a plurality of light color data. Each selection datum corresponds to one of the light color data. Each sub-data-processing apparatus receives the inquiry information, displays the plurality of selection data, and transmits, responsive to a selection signal corresponding to one of the selection data, the light color datum corresponding to said one selection datum to the corresponding smart clothing apparatus. The corresponding smart clothing apparatus drives the light-emitting device assembly thereof to emit at least one color light in accordance with the received light color datum.

Claims

1. A social networking system, comprising:

a main data processing apparatus;

a plurality of smart clothing apparatuses which each comprises;

a respective textile article;

a respective light-emitting device assembly being mounted on the textile article; and

a respective control unit being mounted on the textile article and electrically connected to the light-emitting device assembly, and comprising a signal receiver; and

a plurality of sub-data-processing apparatuses which each is capable of communicating with the main data processing apparatus and corresponds to one of the smart clothing apparatuses;

wherein the main data processing apparatus is operated by an asker to wireless transmit an inquiry information to each sub-data-processing apparatus, the inquiry information comprises a plurality of selection data and a plurality of light color data, each selection datum corresponds to one of the light color data, each sub-data-processing apparatus receives the inquiry information, displays the plurality of selection data, and is operated by one of a plurality of answers to transmit in a short distance communication protocol, responsive to a selection signal corresponding to one of the selection data, the light color datum corresponding to said one selection datum to the corresponding control unit, the corresponding control unit receives the light color datum through the signal receiver thereof and drives the connected light-emitting device assembly to emit at least one color light in accordance with the received light color datum, the short distance communication protocol is one selected from the group consisting of a Bluetooth protocol, a Wi-Fi protocol, an LTE protocol, IEEE 802.11-based protocols, a Zigbee protocol, and a Z-wave protocol.

2. The social networking system of claim 1, wherein each light-emitting device assembly comprises one selected from the group consisting of a light-emitting device, an organic light-emitting device and an electro-luminescent light device.

3. The social networking system of claim 1, wherein each sub-data-processing apparatus transmits the light color datum in an infrared signal way or a radiation signal way.

4. A social networking system, comprising:
