Detailed Description of the Invention:
Basic elements consisting the invention are the glove (1), accelerometer (2), sensor module (3), processor (4), data input module (5) and the communication module (7).
The glove (1) subject to invention is operated as follows: first the user enters various interpretations for the motions he/she will make with the glove (1) via the data input module (5). Then, when the user performs these motions with the glove (1), messages will be sent to the system-registered users, in voice or text, via the wireless communication module (7). There’s a configurable glove (1) developed for this kind of remote communication. The motions performed by the user are converted into encrypted codes with the glove (1) subject to invention and transmitted to relevant units with the communication module (7). This way, the message content can be conveyed to other people by sms, e-mail or voice notification methods.
An example configuration of the system subject to invention is as follows: For the case of the user showing the number two by using his/her index and middle fingers with the glove (1) on his/her right hand and showing his/her index finger with the glove (1) on his/her left hand, the user is defining a specific message. The user enters this message he/she has defined to the system via the data input module (5). This way the user defines at least one sign to the system with this or similar means. Then when the user performs these signs gloves communicates each other and as a result of these performed motions data collected by the accelerometer (2) and the sensor modules (3) are converted into digital data of desired format by the processor (4). As a result of defined motions defined by the gloves (1) being performed, the message defined to the data input module (5) is conveyed by the wireless communication module (6), to relevant people, via the server
