Material property testing system and method

Abstract

Systems, methods, devices, and circuitries are provided for determining a material property. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving an environmental characteristic value from a user; determining garment suitability information for the environmental characteristic value; and providing an indication of the garment suitability information to the user.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A method, comprising:
 receiving an environmental characteristic value from a user;   determining garment suitability information for the environmental characteristic value; and   providing an indication of the garment suitability information to the user.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the environmental characteristic value is a temperature. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , comprising determining garment suitability information by:
 reading data corresponding to garment identifiers mapped to environmental characteristic values; and   selecting a garment identifier mapped to the environmental characteristic value.   
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 3 , wherein the garment identifier comprises a thermal resistance value. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 3 , wherein the garment identifier comprises a material type identifier and a thickness. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 3 , wherein the garment identifier uniquely identifies a garment associated with the user. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 3 , wherein the garment identifier uniquely identifies a garment. 
     
     
         8 . An apparatus, comprising:
 a memory; and   a processor configured to execute instructions stored in the memory to perform functions corresponding to
 receiving an environmental characteristic value from a user; 
 determining garment suitability information for the environmental characteristic value; and 
 providing an indication of the garment suitability information to the user. 
   
     
     
         9 . The apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein the environmental characteristic value is a temperature. 
     
     
         10 . The apparatus of  claim 8 , the processor is configured to execute instructions stored in the memory to determine the garment suitability information by
 reading data corresponding to garment identifiers mapped to environmental characteristic values; and   selecting a garment identifier mapped to the environmental characteristic value.   
     
     
         11 . The apparatus of  claim 10 , wherein the garment identifier comprises a thermal resistance value. 
     
     
         12 . The apparatus of  claim 10 , wherein the garment identifier comprises a material type identifier and a thickness. 
     
     
         13 . The apparatus of  claim 10 , wherein the garment identifier uniquely identifies a garment associated with the user. 
     
     
         14 . The apparatus of  claim 10 , wherein the garment identifier uniquely identifies a garment. 
     
     
         15 . Non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereon, wherein the instructions, when executed by a processor cause the processor to:
 receive an environmental characteristic value from a user;   determine garment suitability information for the environmental characteristic value; and   provide an indication of the garment suitability information to the user.   
     
     
         16 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of  claim 15 , wherein the environmental characteristic value is a temperature. 
     
     
         17 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of  claim 15 , wherein the instructions include instructions that, when execute by the processor, cause the processor to determine garment suitability information by:
 reading data corresponding to garment identifiers mapped to environmental characteristic values; and   selecting a garment identifier mapped to the environmental characteristic value.   
     
     
         18 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of  claim 17 , wherein the garment identifier comprises a thermal resistance value. 
     
     
         19 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of  claim 17 , wherein the garment identifier comprises a material type identifier and a thickness. 
     
     
         20 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of  claim 17 , wherein the garment identifier uniquely identifies a garment associated with the user.
