Samsung patents a smart clothing, taking power from the wearer to charge the phone

There have been many rumors that Samsung is working on making smart clothes, but few people think this will be true if their patents are not accidentally disclosed.

Specifically, this Samsung patent titled "Wearable Electronic Device" - wearable electronics - was recently revealed by LetsGoDigital. The patent describes a system that can be called smart clothing, which takes electricity to operate through the wearer's movement. This means that once the suit is marketed (someday), you can wear it for skiing to warm your body in the cold of winter, or put it in a pocket of a phone. to work while charging!

In the patent image below, we can see this suit is equipped with sensors placed in different positions, so it can basically be applied on any kind of clothing, from coats, pants, hats, gloves to shoes.

The production of power for use through clothing and the wearer's movement is really an effective way to increase the battery life between each charge of your devices. However, this idea is especially useful when you are in wilderness, remote areas and have no opportunity to access the power.

Of course, this is just a patent, and not every patent will become a product. Currently, we can only be certain that Samsung is researching this idea, and they are very serious about entering the smart clothing market with a very energy efficient product. .

It is known that this patent has been registered by Samsung in Korea last year, so it is likely that this product is in the final stage. Who knows if we can see this smart outfit at CES 2018 in January?
