Abstract
A smart luggage system includes a smart luggage assembly having a case assembly with a first stowage compartment and a second stowage compartment. First and second lock assemblies retain first and second stowage compartments in a closed and locked orientation, respectively. A transport assembly is mounted to the case assembly to facilitate movement thereof. A smart handle assembly is also mounted to a case assembly. The smart handle assembly includes a controller having a wireless communication interface, and further includes a power supply. A smart luggage system also includes a smart luggage mobile interface which is operative on a mobile device, and is communicative with a controller of a smart handle assembly via a wireless communication interface.
Claims16
A smart luggage system comprising:
- a smart luggage assembly, said smart luggage assembly comprising:
- a case assembly including a first stowage compartment and a second stowage compartment,
- a luggage interconnect mounted to an outside surface of the case assembly, the luggage interconnect comprising a first interconnect member in one of:
- a retracted position and an interconnect position, wherein the first interconnect member in the interconnect position removably connects to a second interconnect member of another smart luggage assembly to facilitate transport of multiple smart luggage assemblies by a user;
- a first lock assembly retaining said first stowage compartment in a closed and locked orientation, and a second lock assembly retaining said second stowage compartment in a closed and locked orientation,
- a transport assembly mounted to said case assembly to facilitate movement thereof, and
- a smart handle assembly mounted to said case assembly, the smart handle assembly having a controller disposed therein, and further comprising:
- a wireless communication interface,
- a speaker,
- a speaker interface,
- a global positioning interface transmitting a location of the smart luggage assembly, and
- a scale interface operative with a scale measuring a weight of the case assembly and transmitting the weight to a mobile device via the wireless communication interface, and
- a smart luggage mobile interface operative on the mobile device, said smart luggage mobile interface communicative with said controller of said smart handle assembly via said wireless communication interface, and comprising:
- a global positioning system display displaying the location of the smart luggage assembly as transmitted from the global positioning interface,
- a weight display displaying the weight of the case assembly as transmitted by the scale interface;
- a proximity indicator operative with the global positioning system interface for generating a proximity alarm when the smart luggage assembly is within a preset distance from the mobile device;
- a speaker controller operative with the speaker interface for allowing a user to control the speaker located in the smart handle assembly.
A smart luggage assembly operative with a smart luggage mobile interface, said smart luggage assembly comprising:
- a case assembly having a first panel and a second panel, and an intermediate section interconnecting said first panel and said second panel,
- a luggage interconnect mounted to an outside surface of the case assembly, the luggage interconnect comprising an interconnect member in one of:
- a retracted position and an interconnect position, wherein the interconnect member in the interconnect position removably connects to the interconnect member of another smart luggage assembly to facilitate transport of multiple smart luggage assemblies by a user;
- said first panel and said intermediate section cooperatively define a first stowage compartment,
- said second panel and said intermediate section cooperatively define a second stowage compartment,
- an accessory pocket disposed with the second stowage compartment, the accessory pocket constructed of a radio-frequency identification resistant material;
- a transport assembly operatively mounted to said case assembly to facilitate movement thereof, and
- a smart handle assembly mounted to said case assembly, said smart handle assembly comprising:
- a controller having a wireless communication interface,
- a speaker,
- a speaker interface,
- a global positioning interface transmitting a location of the smart luggage assembly, and
- a scale interface operative with a scale measuring a weight of the case assembly and transmitting the weight to a mobile device via the wireless communication interface.
A smart luggage mobile interface operative on a mobile device and remotely communicative with a smart luggage assembly, said smart luggage mobile interface comprising:
- a remote biometric lock input,
- a power supply display,
- a weight display displaying the weight of the smart luggage assembly,
- a global positioning system display,
- a proximity indicator, and
- a speaker controller,
- wherein the smart luggage mobile interface remotely communicates with a controller disposed within a smart handle assembly of the smart luggage assembly,
- wherein the smart handle assembly further comprises:
- a wireless communication interface,
- a speaker,
- a global positioning interface transmitting a location of the smart luggage assembly, and
- a scale interface operative with a scale measuring a weight of the case assembly and transmitting the weight to the mobile device via the wireless communication interface.
