An architecture for electronic textiles
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper makes a case for a communication architecture for electronic textiles (e-textiles). The properties and requirements of e-textile garments are described and analyzed. Based on these properties, the authors make a case for employing wired, digital communication as the primary ongarment communication network. The implications of this design choice for the hardware architecture for e-textiles are discussed.

The integration of wires and electronics into textiles (e-textiles) has many potential applications for wearable and pervasive computing. Textiles are an integral part of everyday life, from clothing we wear to the carpet we walk upon. Being able to combine electronics with textiles would enable pervasive computing to blend into the background so that the user can go about a normal routine. One...

Electronic textiles (e-textiles) are emerging as a novel method for constructing electronic systems in wearable and large area applications. This new type of processing system merges textile and electronic technologies. This paper studies the communication requirements between the computing and sensing elements of an e-textile. This communication is studied through the construction of a prototy...
متن کاملWoven Electronic Textiles: An Enabling Technology for Health-care Monitoring in Clothing
In this work we present a technology to integrate electronic devices into textiles at the yarn level. This enables the fabrication of electronic textiles that remain bendable and are therefore suitable for sensor integration into clothing (e.g. to measure physiological signals). This technology is applied to integrate digital silicon based temperature sensors into a textile band which is then c...
