Abstract
People, especially women, need to carry their phones and need free use of both hands to perform multiple tasks simultaneously. Clothing often has no pockets or inadequate pockets for phones. A person may prefer a more comfortable, fashionable and discreet appearance than armbands, storage belts, or fanny-packs. Many women desire the freedom of being unencumbered by a bag or purse. A modern, attachable, interactive pocket uniquely addresses these needs. Attachable, Interactive Pockets, composed of functional fabrics, protect the wearer, their data, and the device within while also providing many more functions. Therefore, Attachable, Interactive Pockets for Electronic Devices have industrial applicability in fashion, retail, device insurance, and consumer electronics industries.
Description
- U.S. Patent Application 62/450,675, Add-on Pockets
- The present invention relates to clothing. Particularly, the present invention relates to adding interactive pockets to clothing. More particularly, the present invention relates to adding interactive pockets on or in between the interior or exterior surfaces of garments and the like for the storage, access, and protection of the wearer and their mobile phones and other electronic devices.
- Many garments have an insufficient number of pockets or inadequate pocket size for mobile phone use. These garments include but are not limited to coats, jackets, vests, sweaters, pants, leggings, skirts and shorts. The insufficient numbers of pockets and inadequate size of pockets for mobile phones can also be seen in many items other than clothing, including but not limited to all types of bags and luggage where there is also a need for increased mobile phone access, storage and security.
- It is therefore very common that there is an insufficient number of pockets and inadequate size of pockets for mobile phones in clothing. It is also of particular concern in the design of women's apparel where jackets, for example, often don't have interior pockets and pant pockets, and are often just decorative. More particularly, this insufficient number of pockets and inadequate size of pockets is especially concerning due to the increase of mobile phone use, price, and need for greater mobile phone accessibility by men and women. As a result of the dearth and inadequacy of pockets in clothing, many phones break by falling, causing economic hardship. Purchasing only clothing that has the desired pockets for mobile phones severely restricts the purchaser's choice of garments. Specialized clothing designed specifically to address people needing pockets to carry technology like phones and tablets is often bulky, not considered fashionable by many people, and does not have pockets in the exact location or configuration desired by the consumer. The use of purses, bags, armbands, storage belts and fanny-packs infringe upon fast, easy phone access and force the wearer to succumb to a possibly undesirable fashion appearance. The use of purses, bags, armbands, storage belts and fanny-packs, which are externally visible, also subject the wearer the risk of targeted for theft of their mobile device. People with physical limitation may need to position their pockets and mobile phones according to their physical limitation, otherwise causing them discomfort, infringing on their productivity, and causing economic hardship of tailoring their clothing to their specific needs. People dependent upon medical devices including but not limited to insulin pumps, may want to carry their medical device discreetly, with easy access, in a specific position of their choosing.
- There is also an increase in personal data stored on mobile phones, electronic devices and credit cards. Accordingly, people have an increased desire for the protection of their personal data and behavioral activities stored on or communicated by mobile phones, electronic devices and credit cards. Additionally, there is an increase in concern about exposure to electromagnetic radiation emitted from electronic devices and the like. This invention in accordance with one embodiment offers a solution for both protection from radiation emitted from mobile phones and electronic devices as well as protection of data contained on mobile phones, electronic devices and credit cards and the like, while also securing these valuable items from being physically damaged.
- Prior art in the field of attachable pockets does not reflect current advancements in technology and the resulting change in people's needs. Changes in consumers' needs include: pockets that electronically interact with the devices placed within them; pockets that protect the wearer and the mobile device within them from harm; pockets that increase personal data security and privacy; pockets that enhance garments without undermining fashion. This invention addresses these changing individual needs in unique and substantive ways that differentiate it from all prior art of attachable pockets and portable storage devices for electronic devices.
- Prior art in the field of attachable products does not solve all of the aforementioned problems. U.S. Pat. No. 3,747,776A-Detachable Pocket and U.S. Pat. No. 4,266,300A-Attachable and Detachable Pocket for a Garment, do not account for the necessary accommodations needed to store, access and secure mobile phones, electronic devices, credit cards and the like. Particularly, previous attachable pockets are not engineered to provide the wearer the use of “functional fabrics”. Functional Fabrics are fabrics engineered to provide unique capabilities including but not limited to: cleaning or polishing electronic devices and glasses, selectively blocking electromagnetic radiation, filtering undesirable smells, managing moisture, resisting water, water proofing, transmitting light, or conducting electricity to enable programable actions. More particularly, the previous attachable pockets do not include embodiments which can attach underneath a garment's lining, undetectable from the exterior or interior of the garment or like item. Nor do they stretch to grip and accommodate different sizes of mobile phones, mobile phones with protective cases, medical devices, or other electronic devices.
- Presently, there is no solution for adding pockets for electronic devices onto the interior or exterior surface of garments and other like items. Particularly, there is presently no solution for adding pockets that incorporates the use of functional fabrics for electronic devices onto the interior or exterior surface of a garment or other like items. More particularly, there is presently no solution for adding pockets for electronic devices beneath the lining fabric of a garment or other like items. The present invention addresses these unmet market needs and others.
- The present invention provides a solution to the problem of insufficient access, storage and security in garments and like items, for mobile phones and like items. Attachable, Interactive Pockets for Electronic Devices are an improvement from previous art with the use of new, functional fabrics that provide new security, new utility and new comfort for the wearer. More particularly, Attachable, Interactive Pockets for Electronic Devices are structurally more secure with improved attachment methods and more secure closure methods for pocket openings than previous art.
- The present invention differentiates itself from prior inventions in that it is inclusive of attachable pockets composed of fabric that includes conductive threads and optical fiber programmable fabric. This construction results in portable, attachable pockets that can be programmed to execute commands based on physical touch or electromagnetic communications with devices placed within them. Examples include a pocket that flashes a specific color when a message is received or when battery power is low or when the wearer enters a specific area. Accordingly, pockets enhanced with conductive threads can serve as a touch/gesture interface. Touching or stroking the pocket in a specific direction can execute commands like silence a phone or increase the volume of music playing via the mobile device enclosed in the pocket. Other examples include a pocket that can charge a phone's battery each time the phone is placed into the pocket. The portable nature of the pocket also isolates it from other pre-existing smart-clothes systems that may exist in the clothing. Modularity and physical isolation reduces systemic risk represented by centralized systems and can make new capabilities available in a more timely manner. These attributes, capabilities and functions are not enabled by any prior art of attachable pockets.
- The present invention differentiates itself from prior inventions in that it uses fabrics that are designed specifically to protect the wearer and the electronic devices placed within them. The wearers are protected by the hidden nature of the pocket which is not visible and reduces the likelihood of the wearer being accosted by a robber. Additionally, blocking fabrics available now reduce the energy of radiation emitted by some mobile devices reducing likelihood of cellular damage and complications resulting from prolonged exposure to radiation. The device enclosed is also protected in unique ways. Pockets with engineered, functional fabrics may polish, clean, prevent scratching, elastically grip phones to prevent excessive movement and falling, wick away moisture, or provide a waterproof enclosure. These attributes, capabilities and functions are uniquely integrated and are not available in any prior art of attachable pockets.
- The present invention differentiates itself from prior inventions in that it functionally protects the wearer from unwarranted surveillance that is using electromagnetic waves, electronic eavesdropping, and data theft. Functional fabrics are used to isolate and filter electromagnetic communications utilizing different frequencies with mobile devices. No other prior art provides the spectrum of privacy made available by the use of multiple fabrics and degrees of enclosure as made available by the present invention.
- The present invention differentiates itself from prior inventions in that it is specifically designed to enhance fashionable clothes with storage for mobile phones and the like. The pocket is designed to be discreet. Materials used are light weight, seams are avoided when possible, the result is a very low, physical profile pocket. This approach is very unique, requires specific manufacturing capabilities, and is valued by many people. Prior art in the portable attachable pockets marketplace is often oversized, composed of heavy inflexible fabric and results in a bulky and unfashionable appearance.
- Specifically, Attachable, Interactive Pockets for Electronic Devices do not restrict the wearer to find and purchase only garments with pockets where the clothing manufacturer specifies the locations for their mobile phone. Attachable, Interactive Pockets for Electronic Devices do not force the wearer to incorporate a bag, purse, storage belt or fanny-pack onto their outward fashionable appearance in order to carry a mobile phone. More specifically, Attachable, Interactive Pockets for Electronic Devices allow the wearer to place their valuable mobile phone or like item in their exact preferred location, and discreetly out of view, reducing the risk of a physical confrontation and potential theft.
- The objective of the invention is to provide Attachable, Interactive Pockets to garments and like items for the storage, access and security of mobile phones and like items that specifically accommodates the special needs of the wearer, their mobile phones and like items, without hindering the comfort or outward fashionable appearance of the wearer. More specifically, it is the objective of this invention to protect the physical and electronic security of the contents of the pocket, and also provide the wearer with functions that enhance the use of the pocket through unique design and use of functional fabrics for both the benefit of the contents of the pocket and the wearer of the pocket. It is also an objective of this invention to provide a fashionably discreet and personally positionable solution for the storage, access and security of mobile phones and like electronic devices.
- These and other features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following description, drawings and claims.
