Garment System

Abstract

An interactive garment system provides a garment with strategically and aesthetically positioned indicia. The indicia display a themed design. The garment also includes a machine-readable code that operatively joins with a network for providing tactile, visual, and auditory education and/or entertainment. The machine-readable code is configured to link to a media that is related to the indicia on the garment, thereby making the themed design more dynamic. In this manner, tactile learning and entertainment is achieved by linking a themed design on the garment with a media on a network, such as a video on the internet. An electronic device, such as a smart phone scans the machine-readable code to access and display a media. The media could be a website that is related to the themed design of the indicia on the garment.

What is claimed is:

         9 . The system of  claim 8 , in which said indicia comprises a printed image. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 9 , wherein said printed image depicts a themed design. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 10 , in which said themed design comprises an educational and/or an entertainment theme. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 11 , in which said educational and/or entertainment theme comprises animals, or automobiles, or spacecrafts, or astronomy, or biology, or numbers, or letters, or shapes, or animated characters. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 12 , in which said machine-readable code comprises a Quick Response code. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 13 , wherein said Quick Response code comprises a plurality of designs configured to correlate with said network. 
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 14 , in which said electronic device comprises a smart phone. 
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 15 , wherein said electronic device is operable to scan said machine-readable code. 
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 16 , wherein said electronic device displays a video related to said themed design after scanning said machine-readable code. 
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 17 , wherein scanning said machine-readable code is operable to display a specific website related to said themed design. 
     
     
         19 . A system comprising:
 means for adorning a garment;   means for displaying an indicia on said garment, said indicia comprising a themed design;   means for displaying a machine-readable code on said garment;   means for scanning said machine-readable code with an electronic device;   means for operatively joining a network; and   means for displaying a media on said electronic device.   
     
     
         20 . A system consisting of:
