Description

The invention relates to a system for energy, signal and data transmission between at least one article of clothing and at least one vehicle structure of an associated motor vehicle, as well as a clothing article and a motor vehicle.

The interaction between a motor vehicle and a user already has numerous interfaces, which make it possible to design the comfort and safety of an application of a motor vehicle to the desired extent. Thus, the first prior art approaches are already known in which a functional article of clothing is networked with such a motor vehicle or its components, so that a user can control desired comfort conditions during the period of use.

From the DE 10 2005 007 598 A1 a garment is known which discloses at least one device for making and loosening electrical connections. Furthermore, the garment energy storage and electrically heated elements. The transmission of electrical energy is to be accomplished by means of an inductive transmission. Also proposed is the use in so-called open vehicles, such as construction machinery, cranes, motorcycles. The device for producing and releasing electrical connections in this case comprises a locking device. It is intended to realize a defined and mechanically strong connection between the garment and, for example, a vehicle so that an inductive transmission of electrical energy can be realized.

From the DE 10 2014 223 773 A1 is a smart cloth controller known. Such a control device should be designed for communication with an input device and with at least one garment. In this case, the control device may be part of a driver information system of a vehicle and the input device may be a smartphone or a smartwatch. An interaction of the garment and the input device is to be accomplished via unspecified communication interfaces. The respective communication is limited to the exchange of information. It can be seen from the drawing that the communication interfaces are a kind of radio transmission, since explicit lines or other physical interfaces between the garment and the control device are not provided. The focus is on the control of the respective heating elements in the jacket and the temperature in the interior of the vehicle.

As a disadvantage of the presented solutions from the prior art it could be considered that a reliable connection between the garment and the vehicle restricts the freedom of movement of a user who wears the garment while making a mechanical connection. In the case of a communication interface in the form of a kind of radio transmission, a reliable connection is only guaranteed if transmitter and receiver function reliably, in particular, the energy supply of components in the garment must be constantly checked by the user. Also, such a radio transmission itself may be prone to failure or may sometimes interfere with other functions in the vehicle in an undesirable manner.

The object of the invention is to provide a reliable and user-friendly interaction between a suitable article of clothing and a vehicle for this purpose.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, it is provided that a system for transmitting energy, signal and data transmission between at least one article of clothing and at least one vehicle structure is provided by an associated motor vehicle. The system comprises at least one control unit, at least one article of clothing and at least one vehicle structure of an associated motor vehicle, the at least one article of clothing and the at least one vehicle structure each comprising at least one connection interface, which is respectively compatible with the respective at least one other connection interface connectable and the at least one article of clothing comprises at least one energy store, one data store and at least one functional component. In this case, the respective at least one connection point is designed to ensure an energy, signal and data transmission between the at least one article of clothing and the at least one vehicle structure. The at least one article of clothing comprises at least one dispensing element which is designed to trigger at least one output signal in the event of a successful connection for the purpose of energy, signal and data transmission between the at least one article of clothing and the at least one vehicle structure. Thus, it is possible that an interaction between the article of clothing and the vehicle structure may take place by an associated motor vehicle, for example during a stay in the motor vehicle. A user can easily determine if such an interaction is taking place by perceiving the output signal. In addition to the transmission of energy also simple signals and complex data can be transmitted in this way, so that there is no limit to only one of the three variants of the transmission. Rather, the presented invention allows a reliable and comfortable energy, signal and data transmission. The meaning of the word "connectable" is particularly applicable to energy, signal and data transmission and does not limit the invention particularly at this point. Rather, various variants are conceivable. It is only important that the system includes such connection points, so that a desired energy, signal and data transmission is possible.

Further preferred embodiments of the invention will become apparent from the remaining, mentioned in the dependent claims characteristics.

In a further preferred embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the respective connection points of the at least one article of clothing and the at least one vehicle structure at least partially each comprise a metallic surface, which are designed with the respective at least one other connection point, either of the at least one article of clothing or of the at least one vehicle structure to ensure an energy, signal and data transmission between the at least one article of clothing and the at least one vehicle structure. In this way it is possible for an interaction between the article of clothing and the vehicle structure to take place from an associated motor vehicle, for example during a stay in the motor vehicle.

It is also provided in a further preferred embodiment of the invention that the respective connection points comprise at least one positioning means, wherein the respective positioning means of the at least one article of clothing and the at least one vehicle structure are designed to be compatible with each other. Thus, it is made easier for a user to ensure in a simple and comfortable manner that an energy, signal and data transmission between the at least one article of clothing and the at least one vehicle structure is possible. The positioning means may comprise, for example, at least partially magnetic components, wherein respective positioning means on the at least one article of clothing and on the at least one vehicle structure attract each other. Thus, for example, while the user wearing the article of clothing is approaching the vehicle structure, the respective positioning means may facilitate contacting of the respective connection points. In particular, in the event that more than one positioning means are provided both in the article of clothing and in the vehicle structure, these can be arranged such that a reliable and easy-to-implement energy, signal and data transmission between different the at least one article of clothing and the at least one vehicle structure is possible. For example, the positioning means are provided at respectively different locations on the at least one article of clothing and the at least one vehicle structure, so that they are further designed to be connected to one another compatible compatible.

It is further provided in a further preferred embodiment of the invention that the respective connection points of the at least one article of clothing and the at least one vehicle structure are designed to ensure contactless energy signal and data transmission between the at least one article of clothing and the at least one vehicle structure. In this way, a user is not restricted in his freedom of movement and nevertheless a successful energy, signal and data transmission between the at least one article of clothing and the at least one vehicle structure can take place. In addition, it is thus possible, in the arrangement of the respective connection points in the at least one article of clothing and the at least one vehicle structure to maintain greater freedom of design, so that a very simple and cost-effective manner can realize various embodiments of the invention.

In a further preferred embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the output element comprises at least one light function and the output signal comprises at least one light signal. Thus, a user reliably and conveniently recognizes whether a successful energy, signal and data transmission between the at least one article of clothing and the at least one vehicle structure is possible, or whether such takes place at all. This use of light functions on the article of clothing serves to visualize a coupling between the article of clothing, for example a jacket, to the motor vehicle with regard to the data and energy exchange. The dispensing element may be, for example, a standalone element or integrated into another element of the at least one article of clothing. For example, the dispensing element could be a kind of piping on a zipper. Also, the dispensing element could be integrated into a part of the at least one article of clothing, for example in a hood of a jacket. Generally could the dispensing element may be integrated with any visible surface of the at least one garment. The output signal in the form of the light signal could be realized, for example, as a brief flashing.

In addition, in a further preferred embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the at least one light function is automatically activatable as a function of at least one information provided by the associated motor vehicle. For example, it is conceivable that this information comes from a sunlight sensor, which transmits its data to the article of clothing. If the measured light conditions fall below a lower limit value, the light function in the article of clothing is automatically activated, for example, when leaving the motor vehicle or when getting out of the motor vehicle. It is also conceivable that this process includes a time-dependent activation of the light function depending on the season, so that the light function when leaving the motor vehicle or when getting out of the vehicle, for example, automatically activated. It is also conceivable that a special light function is provided only for the exit. For example, a red light may be provided in a back area of the user.

It is also provided in a further preferred embodiment of the invention that the at least one functional component of the at least one article of clothing is selected from: heating element, cooling device, humidity sensor, temperature sensor, motion sensor, strain sensor, acceleration sensor, GPS sensor, Biovitaldatenmessvorrichtung, energy output unit, control unit, Camera, headphones, VR glasses, wherein the biovital data measuring device is adapted to measure one or more of the following biovital data using contactless and / or contact based sensors: pulse, skin conductance, respiration, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, eyelid closure, pupil size, EEG, muscle concentration. It is conceivable that a garment comprises both all these components mentioned, as well as only any selection, as well as only one of these components mentioned. Depending on the use of the selected component or components, any number of one type may be provided. For example, it is conceivable that more than one heating element is provided in order to realize a desired function and a desired effect of this component. It is also conceivable that a plurality of motion sensors are provided at different locations of the at least one article of clothing. Such motion sensors may for example be provided in such a way in the garment, for example thread-like or in any other form, so that specific gestures are recognized by the user or generally a person. Thus, it is conceivable that in the case of the article of clothing, for example, a jacket, this is designed to be heated by means of heating elements. If a cooling device is provided, this can be operated in conjunction with the Peltier effect. A clothing item with a cooling device can therefore also have an integrated cooling option if required in addition to a fully automatic heating function over existing heating elements. In cold conditions, therefore, such a clothing item would be used more for heating and in hot conditions then rather cooling. Also, both heating elements and cooling device could be used in such a way that a comfortable state of comfort for the user is achieved as quickly as possible. Thus, the cooling device could add about the item of clothing water, which then either through the skin of the user or on the heating elements or due to the warm conditions in the sense of high ambient temperature in which the user resides, evaporates and thus a cooling effect for the User of the clothing item ready. Thus, the article of clothing is therefore applicable regardless of the thermal ambient conditions. In other words, the article of clothing, for example in the form of a jacket, can be worn much more frequently. The GPS sensor could be used, for example, when it comes to the location of the at least one article of clothing relative to the at least one vehicle structure or to the associated motor vehicle. In other words, the GPS sensor could detect that the person is on the way to the vehicle. If the article of clothing is used or worn outside the vehicle, the data records can be stored in the article of clothing and the data storage via integrated sensors (for example comfort sensors with humidity, temperature sensors, heart rate, acceleration sensors, motion sensors). Thus, for example, the thermal history or the activity prior to entry into the vehicle can be detected by the user or a person. For example, the energy store of the article of clothing can be used as a power bank via the energy output unit in order to charge a smart device (for example a smartphone, smartwatch), for example. The energy supply for heating or cooling, for example, comes from an energy store in the clothing, which is charged when contacting the vehicle. An energy store, for example, in shoes or insoles can be charged for example via a metallic contact on a footrest in the vehicle. The in a jacket as an exemplary article of clothing rechargeable energy storage in the form of a battery module can be used as an energy source, in addition to a light function and (textile) heating and / or cooling elements (for example, via Peltier effect) in the jacket inside and outside the vehicle as needed activate. In this case, an interaction of the individual components may be provided to allow, for example, a humidity and contact temperature controlled body-near heating and cooling. If there is a contacting, for example, of a jacket to the vehicle, jacket adjustment areas can also be used to provide specific settings for virtual reality or augmented reality spectacle use in the vehicle. For example, VR glasses or augmented reality glasses can be integrated in a jacket and can also be operated outside the vehicle via the energy store in the clothing. Likewise, headphones can be integrated in a jacket, as well as a camera. The headphones or AR or VR goggles (or cap / hood) associated with the garment may be equipped with neural sensors so that, for example, fatigue detection may be performed and the measurement data transmitted to the vehicle via the clothing interface described above can. It is conceivable that individual or all components of the article of clothing are detachably connected to it, so that, for example, prior to a washing process, this component, for example the energy store in the form of a battery module, disconnected or generally released and removed and taken out. With reference to the Biovital data measuring device, contactless and contact-based sensors for detecting various body characteristics (also called biovital data) such as pulse, skin conductance, respiration, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, eyelid closure, pupil size, EEG, muscle contraction are known. A large part of such systems operates contact-based with a high quality, ie measurement accuracy and availability. Such contactless and contact-based sensors for the detection of Biovitaldaten can be used here.

Furthermore, in a further preferred embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the at least one article of clothing comprises at least one functional element which is designed as a function of an input action of a user via an input element on the at least one article of clothing or via an input element on the at least one vehicle structure or to initiate at least one action either on the at least one article of clothing and / or in the associated motor vehicle via an input element on the associated motor vehicle or via an input element on a peripheral input / output device, and / or in dependence on a relative position of the at least one article of clothing and associated motor vehicle mutually trigger at least one action either on the at least one article of clothing and / or in the associated motor vehicle and / or depending on a successful connection between the deminde automatically or custom-controlled at least one action on either the at least one article of clothing and / or in the associated motor vehicle, and / or automatically trigger a garment and the at least one vehicle structure and a successful transfer of data between the at least one garment and the at least one vehicle structure depending on at least one piece of information provided by the associated motor vehicle, to initiate an action on either the at least one article of clothing and / or in the associated motor vehicle, the respective action and associated data being representable on the peripheral input / output device are. In this way, the respective functions are functionally connected to one another both by the at least one article of clothing and by the vehicle structure or by the associated motor vehicle, so that, for example, a desired comfort state for a user can be achieved in a simple manner. Also, information from either the at least one article of clothing or from the at least one vehicle structure or from the associated motor vehicle may serve to realize either at the corresponding opposite side a desired state or in mutually dependent actions corresponding to both the at least one article of clothing as well the trigger at least one vehicle structure or the associated motor vehicle. The action can be both a single action and a chain of actions. For example, such an action may represent the heating or cooling or generally the tempering of the clothing article and / or the vehicle structure or the associated motor vehicle. Also, the action may be related to the output element. Thus, for example, the existing energy supply on the output element in the form of, for example, a light bar and / or on the peripheral input / output device in the form of an app shown there. (App. = Application) are displayed. Accordingly, by briefly flashing the jacket light function, in the case that the article of clothing is a jacket, it could be shown that the energy store or the battery is fully charged. For example, therefore, the energy supply, that is, the state of charge of the energy storage, also be displayed in the form that associated with heating or cooling times displayed become. For example, the user can then, for example, via an app. or other input or interaction in the vehicle indicate how much time he wants to spend outdoors with the heated or refrigerated article of clothing. For example, it is reported by a central electronic unit of the garment, as long as the energy is expected to be optimally close to heat or cool. In this case, current weather data, weather data of a forecast and a forecast for the activity of the user, which he himself can specify, can be included in the time forecast. If, for the planned time, the energy supply in the article of clothing can not be sufficient for optimum climate comfort, the user can make the following specifications: For example, reduced energy consumption over the planned period is used with reduced heating or cooling capacity, so that the entire energy supply remains stable until the planned time Conclusion is claimed. It is also conceivable that the user specifies an energy distribution. This can mean, for example, that the feet and hands of a user are heated as best as possible over the entire period and, for example, jacket heating is correspondingly reduced, so that the energy supply reaches to the end. It is conceivable, for example, that the user has an app. is informed, for example, with the inclusion of weather data, to what extent irrigation of the clothing, such as a jacket, makes sense forward. It can be given a probability for the time of the day, with which the owner or the user when wearing the article of clothing is expected to have warm comfort conditions with worn clothing item - that is without cooling function. It can be made a suggestion that the article of clothing should be watered. In this case, this function can be designed so that the article of clothing can be washed without problems. Also, such a garment may have a special silver coating so that the article of clothing remains antibacterial. An interaction of the individual components is conceivable in every sense. Thus, integrated humidity sensors and / or strain sensors (by absorbing the water, the textile is slightly thicker) provide information on how much water is still bound in the article of clothing and how long the cooling effect will continue. This can be viewed via an app or directly inside the item of clothing (for example Battery Charge Lightbar, Water Charge Lightbar). It makes sense in one embodiment that the surfaces on which the water absorbency with the cooling effect on the jacket are present, are other than the heating surfaces on the article of clothing. For example, the coolable surfaces may be the sleeves and the heating surfaces are located in the upper body area (chest, back). Thus, if too much cooling effect may be heated and with the heating power not only more water is evaporated. This close-to-body heating then takes place fully automatically according to the comfort sensor values for contact humidity and contact temperature. It should be noted that the sensors are not directly on the cooling surface but also not directly applied to the heating elements in order to capture as possible the real value of the output from a body of the user humidity and temperature value. Also, the article of clothing, for example in the form of a jacket, on a shell windproof, but above all waterproof and thereby be permeable to water vapor and thus be breathable. This leaves rainwater outside, but steam can escape and a cooling effect can remain with charged water reservoirs in the jacket. On the other hand, the water storage is not charged in the rain. Such a requirement for an outer skin in a clothing article, for example, a Gore-Tex membrane, which is already used in functional textiles in a known manner. Corresponding information mentioned above can be stored on a personalized basis by the user in a climate profile. Also, motion sensors in the article of clothing may recognize particular gestures from the user or generally from a vehicle occupant, which may be assigned by the user or the vehicle occupant with certain operations of vehicle functions. For example, the activation or operation of vehicle functions may be integrated in a jacket. Thus, for example, a telephone call in the vehicle could be accepted by tapping and / or swiping on the material of the article of clothing or the jacket material in a certain area and then the telephone call being conducted via microphone and loudspeaker in the vehicle. This can happen, for example, when the item of clothing or the jacket is coupled to the vehicle. A user or a customer could define for certain areas in the article of clothing or the jacket, which vehicle function and its operation are stored. This could, for example, affect the interior lighting in the sense of the function on / off or the adjustment of the seat or the air conditioning function. For example, after activating the setting for climate systems on the jacket, with existing electrified vents in the vehicle by tapping, touching or brushing on the material of the article of clothing or the jacket material could be signaled, which areas should be hit by the air flow in a Spoteinstellung the vent or a as diffuse or draft-free adjustment can be selected. So could by the pulling apart of two fingers (for example, index finger and thumb) on the touch-sensitive material of the clothing article or the jacket material in this area, the flow intensity can be adjusted. By pulling apart, for example, two index fingers on the item of clothing or the jacket of the flow spot could be reduced or widened. By repeatedly brushing, for example, on a collar of a jacket in the direction of, for example, the head, a flow spot can be directed in a desired direction or in the direction of the head. For example, such motion sensors may be textile motion sensors. This makes it possible to conclude gestures with electrical signals from dynamic thread sensors. Users or customers could associate their own gestures, for example a specific movement with the arm, to specific operations of vehicle functions. For example, with a sweeping movement of the forearm by a customer, it may be assigned that the direction of the flow spot should be displaced from a vent in a predetermined direction. In general, therefore, certain surfaces on the article of clothing can be determined by the user in order to serve vehicle functions there by predetermined touches, taps or finger movements (for example "double-click"). In general, all data of the item of clothing which is stored there can be transferred to the vehicle after being coupled with the vehicle. For example, the thermal history or the activity prior to entry into the vehicle can be detected by the user or a person and included in the climate control. However, the comfort sensor readings may also be sent to the vehicle prior to boarding. It could then proceed in such a way that, for example, sensor measurement data of the article of clothing is transmitted to an input / output device or a mobility device (for example a smartphone, smartwatch) and transmitted from there to the vehicle. As already mentioned, it could be detected with a GPS sensor that the person is on the way to the vehicle and full comfort is activated according to the comfort measurements. For example, if the temperature values are known, for example, on gloves before entering the vehicle, a steering wheel heater can be automatically activated for entry or even before entry. It is also conceivable that by means of components of the aforementioned invention similar articles of clothing, which are not directly associated with the system, that is external clothing articles, which also have functional features according to the invention, due to the connection points in the vehicle structure with the motor vehicle user-defined are connectable.

In addition, in a further preferred embodiment of the invention provides that in the case of at least two items of clothing, the respective articles of clothing in each case comprise at least one further connection point, which is designed to connect the at least two items of clothing, so that a direct energy, signal and Data transmission between the at least one article of clothing and the at least one other article of clothing and the at least one vehicle structure is ensured and that in the case that the respective at least two items of clothing have their own control devices, the control device is designed by the system to control the control of the entire system. Individual pieces of the article of clothing with a sensor (for example, in terms of humidity, temperature, movement, etc.), which optionally with an energy storage, possibly with its own heating and cooling options in connection with the aforementioned heating element and / or the cooling device, optionally with its own control unit or Control units for, for example, fully automated heating or cooling (for example, gloves, pants, jacket, cap, sock, shoes) can contact each other in terms of data and energy exchange. For example, gloves could be contacted to a jacket, for example via push buttons for energy and data exchange and optionally heated with integrated humidity and / or temperature sensors, according to a comfort control. In the same way, an optionally detachable hood or optionally integrated cap can be contactable with the jacket (for example, again via push buttons).

In a further preferred embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the at least one article of clothing is a jacket, at least a glove, a pair of pants, a cap, at least one sock, at least one shoe. Depending on the needs and location, the right item of clothing can be selected for the aforementioned benefits.

It is also provided in a further preferred embodiment of the invention that the vehicle structure may be selected from: vehicle seat, seat belt, footrest. Depending on the need and location, the correct vehicle structure can thus be selected for the aforementioned advantages. For example, joints in the form of metallic surfaces may be provided at various locations on a seatbelt. A corresponding article of clothing which is worn by a user then has during a Use of the seat belt at the appropriate place also joints in the form of metallic surfaces, so that thus an energy, signal and data transmission between the at least one article of clothing and the at least one vehicle structure is ensured. Regardless of the size of a user so different positioning can be provided so that at least one connection between the at least one article of clothing and the at least one vehicle structure is ensured.

Furthermore, it is provided in a further preferred embodiment of the invention that at least partially a component of the at least one vehicle structure is arranged on the at least one article of clothing. For example, if the article of clothing is a jacket, the jacket may then be connectable to the vehicle as an extended seat belt, for example. The jacket can then be connected to the vehicle, for example via a lock tongue and buckle system. At corresponding connection points, electrical contacts between the jacket and the vehicle can also be provided in this case in order to provide data exchange and an energy storage charge in the jacket.

In a further preferred embodiment of the invention it is provided that a clothing article according to a system according to one of claims 1 - 12 is provided. Such a garment provides the aforementioned advantages, so that a user gets a high level of comfort with a simple operation.

Finally, it is provided in a further preferred embodiment of the invention that a motor vehicle with at least one vehicle structure according to a system according to one of claims 1-13 is provided. Such a motor vehicle provides the aforementioned advantages, so that a user gets a high level of comfort with a simple operation.

The presented invention is basically applicable in all vehicles. Also, the presented invention is applicable to all known vehicle seats, in particular, for example, of motor vehicles, buses, aircraft. It is also conceivable that the invention is compatible with corresponding furniture items, which could be considered as a subspecies of a vehicle seat, as they also have more advanced functions that go beyond the standard function of a particular furniture item.

The various embodiments of the invention mentioned in this application are, unless otherwise stated in the individual case, advantageously combinable with each other.

1 shows a system 10 for transmission of energy, signal and data transmission between at least one article of clothing 12 that of a represented user 14 or is generally carried by a person and at least one vehicle structure 15 which in this case is a vehicle seat 16 from an associated motor vehicle, which is not shown further. Here are the clothing item 12 four connection points each 18 to recognize, with two in the amount of the legs and two in the back each of the user 14 are shown. For example, it could be the item of clothing 12 to trade a coat or a larger jacket. It is also conceivable that it is two separate items of clothing 12 trades, being the one item of clothing 12 then, for example, would be a pair of pants and the other item of clothing 12 then, for example, a jacket or the like would be. On the vehicle structure 15 which in this case is a vehicle seat 16 is from an associated motor vehicle, are also four connection points 18 recognizing two in a seating area of the vehicle seat 16 are arranged and two in the backrest portion of the vehicle seat 16 are arranged. The connecting points shown in each case 18 , both in the article of clothing 12 as well as in the vehicle structure 15 , are preferably located in the respective surface. For example, thus, the power supply for a needs-based heating and sensor data measurement on the article of clothing 12 from the vehicle seat 16 be realized electrically over the illustrated contact surfaces. For example, sensor data from the garment top, such as a jacket, is transmitted to the vehicle. They are thus connection points 18 in the form of electrical contact areas in the form of joints 18 in the backrest portion of the vehicle seat 16 conceivable for a clothing top. Likewise, thus are connection points 18 in the form of electrical contact areas in the form of joints 18 in the seating area of the vehicle seat 16 for example, imagine a pair of pants.
