Wearable motion-signaling bag

A system for in-route motion signaling, comprising:

• a user device, comprising:
• a processor configured to execute code, comprising:
• a command module configured to generate one or more commands to signal a movement of a user;
• a wireless transceiver interfaced to the processor and configured to transmit the commands;
• and
• a motion-signaling object wearable by the user, comprising:
• one or more lights;
• a wireless transceiver configured to receive the commands from the user device wireless transceiver;
• one or more controls configured to be activated by the user;
• a microcontroller operable to execute under programmable control and interfaced to the controls, the wireless transceiver, one or more motion sensors, and the lights, the microcontroller configured to provide signals regarding the motion of the user through the lights based on sensed data from the one or more motion sensors, one or more of commands given by the capacitive controls when activated, and the commands from the user device;
• and
• the one or more motion sensors, wherein at least one of:
• the sensors comprise at least one of a compass and a gyroscope and are configured to sense a completion of a turn by a user and the microcontroller turns off a signal for the turn upon the completion being sensed;
• and
• the sensors comprise an accelerometer configured to sense a speed of the user and a brightness of one or more of the signals varies based on the speed.
