Garment including electronic devices

Abstract

A garment includes a torso portion that includes a torso pocket. The garment includes two arm portions. Each of the two arm portions extends from the torso portion to a wrist portion. The two arm portions each include a plurality of pockets. The plurality of pockets include at least a distal pocket near a distal arm portion and a proximal pocket between the distal pocket and the torso portion. The torso pocket is located on a central portion between the two arm portions. Each of the at least five pockets includes an electronics module that has a particular orientation. Each of the at least five pockets and each electronics module include a visual indication of a correct orientation of the electronics module in a respective pocket.

1 . A garment comprising;

 wherein the torso portion comprises at least one torso pocket; and 
   two arm portions,
 wherein each of the two arm portions extends from the torso portion to a wrist portion; 
 wherein each of the two arm portions comprises:
 a distal pocket near a distal arm portion; 
 a proximal pocket between the distal pocket and the torso portion; 
 
   wherein the at least one torso pocket is located on a central portion between the two arm portions; and   wherein each of the at least five pockets comprises an electronics module that has a particular orientation;   wherein each of the at least five pockets and each electronics module comprises a visual indication of a correct orientation of the electronics module in a respective pocket.   
     
     
         2 . The garment of  claim 1 ,
 wherein the two arm portions are configured to exert a compressive force on arms of a wearer;   wherein the torso portion is configured to exert a force on a torso of a wearer that is less compressive than the compressive force on the arms of the wearer.   
     
     
         3 . The garment of  claim 1 , wherein the visual indication is a color near an opening of each pocket and a corresponding color on an edge or a side of the electronics module. 
     
     
         4 . The garment of  claim 1 , wherein each pocket is sized to retain a respective electronics module in a corresponding pocket while the garment is worn by a wearer. 
     
     
         5 . The garment of  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the pockets comprise a pillowcase flap, overlapping fabric folds, an inner surface of a non-slip material, a strap, a hook and loop fastener, zipper, magnets, a fastening device, a button, or a combination thereof that retains the electronics module in the at least one of the pockets. 
     
     
         6 . The garment of  claim 1 , wherein the garment is a base layer, to be worn as a layer closest to skin of a wearer. 
     
     
         7 . The garment of  claim 1 , wherein each of the at least five pockets is adhesively secured around a perimeter portion of the pocket to the arm portion or to the torso portion of the garment. 
     
     
         8 . The garment of  claim 1 , wherein a first and/or a second arm portion comprises a first pocket located proximate to a location between hands and an elbow of a wearer, a second pocket proximate to a location between a shoulder and the elbow of a wearer, and a third pocket on the torso portion proximate to a location between shoulder blades of a wearer. 
     
     
         9 . The garment of  claim 1 , wherein the pocket, the arm portion, and/or the torso portion comprises an antistatic material. 
     
     
         10 . The garment of  claim 1 , wherein each pocket is independently on the inside or the outside of the garment. 
     
     
         11 . The garment of  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the pockets comprises an electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding material, a radio frequency interference (RFI) shielding material, or any combination thereof. 
     
     
         12 . The garment of  claim 1 , wherein the visual indicator is a non-slip material. 
     
     
         13 . A system, comprising:
 the garment of  claim 1 ;   a plurality of electronics modules; and   a computer-readable medium comprising computer-executable instructions that when executed by a processor cause the processor to:
 receive movement data from the plurality of electronics modules; 
 analyze the movement data;
 wherein the movement data relates to position and orientation of the electronics modules in three dimensional space over time; and 
 
 display the movement data on a display device. 
   
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 13 , wherein movement data comprises the movement of a worker in a workplace environment. 
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 13 , wherein the electronics modules comprise at least two of an accelerometer, magnetometer, gyroscope, wireless communication device, heart rate sensor, sweat sensor, glucose monitor, electrocardiogram (ECG) sensor, blood oxygen sensor and optionally, temperature sensor, pressure sensor, atmospheric oxygen sensor, atmospheric quality sensor, humidity sensor, and/or noise level meter. 
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 15 , wherein the electronics module further comprises a GPS sensor. 
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 13 , wherein the system comprises two or more garments and enough electronics modules for each of the pockets of the two or more garments. 
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 13 , wherein the system further comprises a user interface to allow a user to access the movement data. 
     
     
         19 . A garment, comprising:
 a torso portion;
 wherein the torso portion comprises a torso pocket; 
   two arm portions,
 wherein each arm portion extends from the torso portion to a wrist portion; 
 wherein the two arm portions comprise at least a distal pocket near a distal arm 
   portion and a proximal pocket between the distal pocket and the torso portion;   wherein the torso pocket is located on a central portion between the two arm portions; and   wherein each pocket comprises an electronics module that has a particular orientation;   wherein at least one of the pockets comprises a pillowcase flap, overlapping fabric folds, an inner surface of a non-slip material, a strap, a hook and loop fastener, zipper, magnets, a fastening device, a button, or a combination thereof that retains the electronics module in the pocket.
