## Abstract

Provided is an intelligent garment, in which a heating temperature of the garment is adjusted by sensing a size of an aperture of a garment body that is changed according to user control. The garment includes: a garment body; a heater provided in the garment body; a controller adjusting a heating temperature of the heater; and a temperature adjusting unit inputting an adjusting signal to the controller, and the adjusting signal being used for adjusting the heating temperature, wherein the temperature adjusting unit generates the adjusting signal to the controller according to a change in the size of the aperture provided in the garment body through which a body part of a user passes.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An intelligent garment, in which a heating temperature of the garment is adjusted by sensing a size of an aperture of a garment body that is changed according to user control, the garment comprising:
a garment body;
a heater provided in the garment body;
a controller adjusting a heating temperature of the heater; and
a temperature adjusting unit inputting an adjusting signal to the controller, and the adjusting signal being used for adjusting the heating temperature,
wherein the temperature adjusting unit generates the adjusting signal with different intensity according to a change in a size of an aperture provided in the garment body through which a body part of a user passes, and inputs the adjusting signal to the controller.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The garment of claim 1, wherein the temperature adjusting unit includes:
a tightening member adjusting the size of the aperture of the garment body by tightening the aperture; and
a resistor provided in the tightening member and having a resistance value being changed according to an amount of tightening the aperture.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The garment of claim 2, wherein the tightening member is a snap button or a velcro tape.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The garment of claim 3, wherein the temperature adjusting unit is connected to the controller by forming a closed circuit through fastening male and female parts of the snap button or the velcro tape, with resistors having different resistance values provided on the male or female part of the snap button or the velcro tape, whereby a fastening position of the male and female parts of the snap button or the velcro tape varies according to the amount of tightening the aperture, and the resistance value of the resistor is determined by the fastening position of the male and female parts of the snap button or the velcro tape.

### Claim 5 (depends on 2)

The garment of claim 2, wherein the tightening member is a string fastener.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The garment of claim 5, wherein the string fastener includes a tightening string, with a variable resistance line provided in the tightening string and connected to the controller, whereby the resistance value of the variable resistance line varies according to a strain applied to the variable resistance line.
