The invention further relates to a pocket for accommodating the a device (110) during such signalling. The invention further relates to a kit comprising such a soft-ware application product and optionally such a pocket, as well as to a method for traffic signalling.

Presented are intelligent electronic footwear with controller automated features, methods for making/using such footwear, and control systems for executing automated features of intelligent electronic footwear. An intelligent electronic shoe (IES) includes an upper that attaches to a user's foot, and a sole structure that is attached to the upper and supports thereon the user's foot. An alert system, which is mounted to the sole structure and/or upper, generates predetermined outputs in response to electronic command signals. The IES system also includes a wireless communications device that wirelessly communicates with a remote computing node, and a footwear controller that communicates with the wireless communications device and alert system. The footwear controller receives location data indicative of the user's and remote computing node's locations, determines whether the user's location is within a predetermined location/proximity to the node's location and, if so, transmits command signals to the alert system to notify the user/vehicle.

This present application discloses a turn direction indicating jacket having a plurality of directional indicators independently actuatable via a switch and a portable power supply. The invention illuminates the lights in sequential fashion from the wearer's shoulder to his or her wrist with an arrowhead at the base, there ensuring that other motorists and pedestrians alike are aware of the wearer's presence in traffic and the wearer's intended traffic movement.

Wireless signal light systems for vehicles, including wireless illuminated gear and clothing, are provided. In an example system, a wireless transmitter is communicatively coupled to a motorcycle or other vehicle. Receivers in illuminated articles, such as helmet, backpack, jacket, vest, race suit, gloves, boots, and other gear receive signaling information from the transmitter, such as left and right turn signaling and braking of the motorcycle or vehicle. Colored LEDs or other lighting in the illuminated articles mirror the signaling of the motorcycle or vehicle. Left and right gloves and boots may have respective left and right LED turn signal indicators. A pushbutton on each illuminated article synchs the article with the signaling system of the vehicle. The illuminated articles and can sense an emergency through position or by separation from the vehicle and activate emergency flashers, sound, and emergency contacts through a phone. The system batteries also have hazard protection.

A ring device for displaying information includes a ring band. The ring device also can include a processor located within the ring band. The processor can be configured to analyze data to identify one or more conditions. The ring device further can include a projector module located at least partially within the ring band. The projector module can be communicatively coupled to the processor. The ring device further can include a user input unit. The user input unit can include one or more sensors located at least partially within the ring band. The one or more sensors can be configured to receive a user input. The user input unit also can be communicatively coupled to the processor. The processor can be configured to cause the projector module to present the information indicative of the one or more conditions, as identified. Other embodiments are disclosed.

A system for displaying symbols, signals, or other information through light sources that are incorporated into the material of wearables, i.e., apparel or accessories. LEDs are incorporated into a garment to which a controller is attached to control the LEDs, and a battery may be attached to power the electronic components. The garment can be programmed with different patterns that can provide information to the wearer or to others, and can connect with a device, such as a cellular telephone, smartwatch, or activity band, that the wearer can use to control the lights embedded in the garment.

Systems and methods to detect and warn proximate entities of interest are described herein. An example method includes sending an interrogation signal generated by a vehicle within a first area, detecting the interrogation signal from the first area, in response to detection of the interrogation signal from the first area, receiving a first responsive signal from a first transponder in the first area, and determining a directional resolution of the first responsive signal.

Systems and methods to detect and warn proximate entities of interest are described herein. An example method includes determining threat levels for hazards in a plurality of different zones within a building, classifying the threat levels into at least one of a first threat level and a second threat level, designating a first zone of the plurality of different zones having the first threat level with a first detectable indicator, and designating a second zone having the second threat level with a second detectable indicator.
