Abstract
Wearable electronic apparatus providing sensory feedback is provided. The wearable electronic apparatus has master beads that can power slave beads. The beads have electronic circuitry enabling visual, auditory or haptic feedback to be initiated by the master beads. Master beads of one unit of a wearable electronic apparatus communicate with master beads of another unit of another apparatus. In the presence or proximity of an authorized apparatus, the master bead causes the slave beads to provide a user with sensory feedback.
Claims18
A wearable electronic apparatus configured to be disposed on an individual, comprising:
- at least one slave unit and at least one master unit, the at least one master unit configured to communicate with the at least one slave unit to cause the at least one slave unit to perform at least one sensory feedback function;
- and
- an electrically conductive medium on which the at least one slave unit and the at least one master unit are disposed, wherein the at least one master unit communicates with the at least one slave unit via the electrically conductive medium, and wherein the electrically conductive medium supports the wearable apparatus on the individual.
A kit for a wearable electronic apparatus configured to be disposed on an individual, the kit comprising:
- a plurality of master units;
- a plurality of slave units;
- and
- an electrically conductive medium;
- wherein the wearable electronic apparatus includes at least one slave unit selected from the plurality of slave units and at least one master unit selected from the plurality of master units, the at least one master unit configured to communicate with the at least one slave unit to cause the at least one slave unit to perform at least one sensory feedback function;
- wherein the at least one slave unit and the at least one master unit are disposed on the electrically conductive medium and the at least one master unit communicates with the at least one slave unit via the electrically conductive medium;
- and
- wherein the electrically conductive medium is configured to support the wearable apparatus on the individual.
A wearable electronic apparatus comprising a plurality of units disposed in series on a medium, said units comprising at least one master unit and at least one slave unit, the at least one master unit configured to communicate with and power the at least one slave unit to cause the at least one slave unit to perform at least one function to provide sensory feedback.
