A system and method for prominently propagating advertisements and messages from a garment. The system and method provide a washable fabric section that contains a waterproof Near Field Communication (NFC) tag, and a logo label. The NFC tag and the logo label are disposed adjacent to each other, and separated by a fold line for easy visible delineation. The washable fabric section is integrated, possibly through sewing, into the washable fabric section. The washable fabric section, with the NFC tag and the logo is disposed at a prominently visible location on the garment, so as to enable widespread distribution of the advertisement or message through NFC technology. An NFC reader scans the NFC tag to read the data contained therein, which may include a web site, a social media platform, advertisements, and messages.

A sports paraphernalia device may be provided as a physical object that is configured to resemble a particular sports entity and that is configured to receive sports entity updates from a sports entity server. A sports entity can employ the sports entity server to send sports entity updates to sports paraphernalia devices to thereby interact directly with fans. Such interactions can include causing the sports paraphernalia devices to provide visual, audio or mechanical output.

Some implementations of this disclosure provide an electronically customizable article comprising a fashion article selected from the group consisting of a handbag, a shoe, glasses, a tie, and a bowtie wherein the fashion article comprises an electronic visual display, a processor, a communication interface for communication between the fashion article and a network, and a non-transitory computer readable medium containing instructions that, when executed by the processor, causes the fashion article to connect to a server over the network, receive data from the server, and display one or more images associated with the data on the electronic visual display.

A lighting system for a hat includes a front housing containing lighting elements that mates with a back plate positioned on the inside of the hat. Driver circuitry controls operation of the LEDs for various lighting modes, and a cover for the front housing is translucent and designed in the shape of a recognizable logo or other design. Electric power comes from a battery located on the back plate, and is provided through the hate using prongs or projections that pass through the hat, from the back plate to a circuit connector in the front housing. The circuit connector is electrically coupled to circuitry on a circuit board in the front housing.

A display device includes a plurality of moveable display units, and at least one external control device for emitting control signals in dependence on which at least some of the plurality of display units form a display, the display units each being connected at different locations via coupling means and capable of being detachably connected to one another, where at least some of the display units include at least one detection device for detecting a relative position of at least one further display unit, and the at least one detection device is a sensor which detects at least one adjacent display unit.

The present invention relates to a self-customizable micro LED garment capable of changing colors and patterns like a TV screen and, more particularly, to a useful invention comprising: a garment (100) composed of upper and lower garments (110, 120) worn on a wearer's body; a transparent micro LED display skin (300) coated on the surface of the garment (100); a master unit (400) and a remote slave (500) inside the upper and lower garments (110, 120) of the garment (100); and a smartphone (600), wherein the transparent micro LED display skin (300) is selectively controlled by means of an application installed on the smartphone (600) by the wearer to express a variety of colors according to the current situation of the wearer.

The hat flag comprises a flag mount and a replaceable flag assembly. The flag mount may be coupled to a hat and may present a threaded receiver for detachably coupling the replaceable flag assembly to the top of the hat. The replaceable flag assembly may display a flag elevated above the hat via a flag support rod when the replaceable flag assembly is detachably coupled to the flag mount. The replaceable flag assembly may comprise a spring-loaded base such that the flag support rod may tilt when an external force is applied and may right itself when the external force is removed. The replaceable flag assembly may comprise a bearing such that the flag is free to swivel.

A multilayer identification patch comprises a reflective layer and a design layer on top of the reflective layer. The design layer comprises an opaque body and at least one identification symbol void (ISV) to allow light to reflect from a portion of the reflective layer via the ISV. The opaque body of the design layer comprises multiple layers of cured photopolymer ink. The multiple layers of cured photopolymer ink comprise an opaque layer of colored photopolymer ink. In one embodiment, the multiple layers of cured photopolymer ink in the opaque body of the design layer further comprise a layer of clear photopolymer ink under the opaque layer of colored photopolymer ink. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

In an embodiment, an interactive wearable device system includes a display configured to face outwardly from a wearer of the interactive wearable device system. The interactive wearable device system also includes a location identification system configured to determine user location data related to the wearer and a separate individual. An automation controller is communicatively coupled to the display and the location identification system. The automation controller is configured to receive the user location data provided by the location identification system. The automation controller is also configured to determine the user location data satisfies at least one criteria and instruct the display to display an image based on the location data satisfying the at least one criteria.

A light symbol projection device is disclosed. The light symbol projection device has a housing which is temporarily secured within a receiving mechanism. The receiving mechanism is embedded within a product such as, for example, a shoe. The light symbol housing may project, in various colors, a word, pattern, symbol, logo or other indicia on the ground. The light symbol housing may be interchangeable so that the receiving mechanism may receive various light symbol housings having different light projections. In one embodiment, a speaker associated with the device may also provide an audible sound.
