Description

  The present invention relates to a garment provided with a pocket to which an RFID tag can be attached.

There are 3 steps to start the smartphone application: Step 1 starts the smartphone, Step 2 swipes the touch screen to find the target application, Step 3 presses the target application icon to start, It takes.
Also, during the start-up step, it was necessary to pay attention to the smartphone, which could lead to lost opportunities that made it difficult to do other tasks.

As a method for improving this, there is a method using an RFID tag.
By registering an activation command for a predetermined application in the smartphone in advance in the RFID tag and holding the smartphone over the RFID tag, the predetermined application can be activated quickly.

  Patent Document 1 proposes a garment to which an electronic tag is attached. Although there is no mention about application activation of a smartphone in Patent Document 1, if an electronic tag is an RFID tag in which an activation instruction of a predetermined application in a smartphone is registered, by holding the smartphone over an RFID tag storage location of clothes, It is possible to quickly start a predetermined application on the smartphone.

However, in the figure of the garment described in Patent Document 1, since the place where the tag is stored can be seen on the front side of the garment, design restrictions occur, and some clothes feel uncomfortable.

  Patent Document 2 proposes a clothing button storing an RFID tag. If this clothing button is attached to the clothing and the activation command for the predetermined application in the smartphone is registered in the RFID tag stored in the clothing button, the predetermined application on the smartphone can be activated quickly by holding the smartphone over the clothing button. it can.

  However, storing the RFID tag inside the garment button limits the size and shape of the garment button, resulting in design limitations. Further, when discarding clothes, it is troublesome to remove the buttons from the clothes to reuse the buttons for clothes because the buttons for clothes must be separated from the parts that can be seen from the front side of the clothes and the parts that are fastened from the back side of the clothes. Moreover, even if it is not a button for clothes of the shape described in Patent Document 2 but a button for clothes of sewing type, in order to reuse the button for clothes, it is troublesome to cut the sewing thread. Also, the clothes that are reused for the buttons for clothes are not easy to be reused because the clothes buttons feel uncomfortable depending on the shape of the buttons for clothes.

JP-A-11-31224 Patent 5166904

  An object of the present invention is to provide a garment in which an RFID tag can be mounted without a sense of incongruity in design, and the RFID tag can be easily discarded and reused. Furthermore, it is to improve the convenience of a smartphone by mounting an RFID tag on the clothes.

  An IC chip for storing data, an antenna for transmitting and receiving data in a contactless manner, and a pocket where a waterproof RFID tag can be inserted and removed is located on the cuff of clothes, the edge of the pocket, etc. The RFID tag can be mounted on the garment without a sense of incongruity without losing the design of the garment, and the RFID tag can be easily discarded and reused.

  The RFID tag pocket provided in the garment of the present invention is formed between the front side fabric and the back side fabric of the garment, or on the back side fabric side. Since the inside is provided in a place where it is difficult to see through, the RFID tag pocket cannot be seen from the front side of the garment, and there is no sense of design discomfort.

  In addition, since the front fabric and the back fabric overlap each other and the pocket is provided in the thick and difficult to deform area, even if the clothes are washed and dried with the RFID tag in the pocket, the outline of the RFID tag is It is hard to appear on the front side and does not cause a sense of incongruity.

  Since the garment of the present invention inserts the RFID tag into the RFID tag pocket, it is easier to replace and discard the RFID tag than when the RFID tag is sewn. It is easy to reuse.

  The RFID tag pocket of the clothes of the present invention is in a place unsuitable for putting in / out things many times a day, and furthermore, a hook means is provided in the opening so that it can be put in and out many times a day. Because it is unsuitable for putting things in, it is unlikely that contaminants will enter by mistake, reducing the possibility of RFID tags being damaged by contaminants, contaminants entering the RFID tag pocket, The possibility of losing is reduced.

  By the catching means provided in the opening of the RFID tag pocket of the clothes of the present invention, the possibility that the RFID tag jumps out of the RFID tag pocket by washing with the RFID tag inserted is reduced. The trouble of taking out the RFID tag every time and inserting it after washing is saved.

  The clothes of the present invention are easy to understand for users such as cuffs, and can be placed in a position that can be understood without visual confirmation. Therefore, the smartphone can be quickly held over the RFID tag without searching for the RFID tag. Smartphone applications can be activated quickly with tags. Thereby, the effort and opportunity loss until starting the application of a smart phone can be reduced.

  Even if the user wears gloves, it is not necessary to touch the touch panel of the smartphone according to the clothes of the present invention when launching a sufficient application if information for one screen of the smartphone such as weather forecast is available. You can start the application, and once you get the information, you just need to press the power button on the smartphone to turn it off, so in the past, remove the gloves and operate the smartphone's touch panel to start the target application and get the information It is possible to quickly obtain information by reducing the trouble of turning off the smartphone and fitting gloves.

  Conventionally, the application had to be started while looking at the screen of the smartphone, but using the clothes of the present invention makes it unnecessary to start the application while visually checking the smartphone. The application can be started while concentrating on the device, the opportunity loss and the physical loss are reduced, and the smartphone can be used more effectively.

  For example, when a user is talking with another person, even if information that can be obtained with a smartphone application is required, the clothes of the present invention can be used to continue the conversation without taking the line of sight of the other party. Since the smartphone application can be activated, the conversation can be made smoother than before.

  For example, when a cat that the user wants to put in a photograph tries to pass in front of the user, if he tries to launch the smartphone's camera application, it will normally start while looking at the smartphone, so he lost sight of the cat in the meantime There was a possibility of missing a photo opportunity, but with the clothes of the present invention, the user can start the camera application while watching the cat, so there is no chance of losing sight of the cat in the time until the smartphone application is started Missed, that is, opportunity loss can be reduced.

  In addition, since smartphone applications are increasing in size when launching smartphone applications through touch panel operation, the possibility of dropping a smartphone is increasing when trying to launch an application while holding the smartphone with one hand. In many cases, you can use both hands, such as starting the application by operating the touch panel with your right hand while holding the smartphone with the right hand, but with the clothes of the present invention, you can start the smartphone application with one hand, it is easy to use, the physical that drops the smartphone Loss can be reduced.

  FIG. 1 shows a garment according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention, in which an example in which the present invention is applied to a Y-shirt is given.

The RFID tag 30 described in the present invention includes an NFC tag that is a kind of RFID.
The smartphone described in the present invention is intended for a smartphone equipped with an NFC reader.

  In the garment 8 of FIG. 1, 1 is an RFID tag pocket, 2 is a collar, 3 is a pocket, 4 is a sword bolster, 5 is a cuff, and 6 and 7 are plackets.

  Since the RFID tag pocket 1 is intended to put the RFID tag 30 in and out, the RFID tag 30 and the smart phone are inserted with a metal coin so as not to damage the RFID tag 30 by mixing other things. In order not to disturb the communication between them, it is installed in a place where it is difficult to put in and out of the RFID tag pocket 1 while wearing the clothes 8, or a place that has not been used as a pocket in conventional clothes.

  Since the collar 2 is difficult to see for yourself, at the pocket turn-up point 3, it is difficult to put things in and out while turning the back side of the pocket turn-up point 3 upside down. Since the hand with 4 and cuffs 5 cannot be used and it is difficult to put in and out with one hand, placket 6 and placket 7 are not physically difficult, but underwear can be seen when the placket is removed in public. Therefore, it is difficult to put things in and out of the RFID tag pocket 1 at each location.

  The RFID tag pocket 1 is provided on the front side fabric and the back side fabric of the collar 2, the pocket turn-back point 3, the sword bolster 4, the cuff 5, the front placket 6 or the front plaster 7 where the front side fabric and the back side fabric of the conventional clothes overlap. Since the RFID tag pocket 1 is not visible from the front side of the garment 8 because it is provided at the pinched portion, the design of the garment is not impaired and a sense of incongruity does not occur.

  Further, since the RFID tag pocket 1 is provided in a place where the front side fabric and the back side fabric overlap and are thick and difficult to deform, the clothes can be washed and dried while the RFID tag 30 is placed in the RFID tag pocket 1. The outline of the RFID tag 30 is difficult to appear on the front side of the clothes, and a sense of incongruity does not occur.

  The RFID tag 30 is provided with an IC chip for storing data, an antenna for transmitting and receiving data in a contactless manner, and waterproofness, and is described here on the assumption of a circular shape with a diameter of 28 mm. The RFID tag 30 has various shapes such as a rectangular shape and a band shape. Here, a circular one is described as a representative, but the shape of the RFID tag pocket 1 can be changed in accordance with the shape of the RFID tag 30 to be used.

  FIG. 2 is a view of the cuff 5 equipped with the RFID tag pocket 1 as seen from the back fabric. The RFID tag pocket 1 shown in FIG. 2 is also mounted on the collar 2, the pocket turn-back point 3, the sword bolt 4, the placket 6, and the placket 7.

  Reference numeral 20 denotes a seam obtained by stitching the front side fabric and the back side fabric of the cuff 5, 21 denotes an opening of the RFID tag pocket 1, 22 denotes a stitch that is a stitched portion for forming the RFID tag pocket 1, and 23 denotes Button for fastening the cuff 5, 24 is a hole for receiving the button 23 for fastening the cuff 5, L 1 is the width of the opening 21, L 2 is the width of the storing place of the RFID tag pocket 1, Y 1 is the opening from the seam 20 The distance to the center of 21.

  The area surrounded by the seam 20 and the seam 22 is the RFID tag pocket 1. In FIG. 2, the seam 22 is sewn from the cuff side of the seam 20 to the shoulder side of the seam 20, but as shown in FIG. Even if only 26 is sewn, the position when the RFID tag 30 is inserted into the RFID tag pocket 1 does not change, so that only the central portion 26 may be sewn.

  The user inserts the RFID tag 30 into the RFID tag pocket 1 while allowing the RFID tag 30 to enter the opening 21. In this embodiment, the width L1 of the opening 21 is set to the width L2 of the storage location of the RFID tag pocket 1 so that the RFID tag 30 inserted into the RFID tag pocket 1 does not jump out of the opening 21 due to impact and vibration. A range shorter than the diameter of the RFID tag 30 and a distance Y1 from the seam 20 to the center of the opening 21 is used as the catching means.

  In the trial conducted by the inventor, the RFID tag pocket 1 is provided in the cuff 5 of the Y-shirt, and the shape of the opening 21 is set so that the RFID tag 30 inserted into the RFID tag pocket 1 does not come out. The distance Y1 from the seam 20 to the center of the opening 21 is 4 mm, and the width L1 of the opening 21 is 4 mm to 10 mm shorter than the width L2 of the storage location of the RFID tag pocket 1. If the difference between the length L1 of the opening 21 and the width L2 of the storing portion of the RFID tag pocket 1 is smaller than 4 mm, the RFID 30 is easily detached when wearing clothes or washing, and if the difference is larger than 10 mm, the RFID tag 30 Because it was difficult to insert and remove.

  However, an appropriate value of the difference between the width L1 of the opening 21 and the width L2 of the storage location of the RFID tag pocket 1 affects the stretchability of the cloth of the garment 8, the softness of the RFID30 tag, and the shape of the RFID tag 30. In order to receive the test, it is necessary to conduct a test and set a value suitable for each condition. Therefore, the value when the inventor tried is described here as an example.

  Since the button 22 can be used as a mark for holding the smartphone over the RFID pocket 1, the RFID pocket 1 is preferably closer to the button 22.

  The placket 6 and the placket 7 can similarly use buttons as marks, and therefore the RFID pocket 1 is preferably close to the buttons.

  Since the sword boro 4 originally occupies a small area in clothing, the sword boro 4 itself is a landmark, so the distance between the sword boro 4 and the button does not affect usability.

  Even if the collar 2 has a button, the distance between the collar 2 and the button does not affect usability because the user is often in a place where it is difficult to visually observe.

  Example 2 of the present invention will be described below.

  Since the clothes of the second embodiment are the same as those of the first embodiment except for the structure of the pocket for the RFID tag, the description of the same portions is omitted.
