4. The smart equipment for the identification of garments and/or their characteristics according to claim 1, characterized in that the reader (5) of the electronic device (4) and the software or APP it incorporates are adapted to read and reproduce the content of the information of different tags (2) located on different garments (3).

5. The smart equipment for the identification of garments and/or their characteristics according to claim 1, characterized in that the electronic technology of the tags (2) and of the reader of the electronic device (4) is NFC technology of wireless communication, having short range and high frequency.

6. A method for the identification of a garment and/or its characteristics by means of a smart equipment as disclosed in claim 1, characterized in that it is comprised of the following steps: the user opens the APP of his/her electronic device (4); he/she approaches the electronic device (4) to the tag (2) incorporated to the garment (3), making that the electronic device (4) triggers the electronic element of the tag (2); the tag (2) forwards the information it contains to the reader of the electronic device (4); and the reader receives the information and interprets it through the software or APP that reproduces, at least sonically, the information contained in the tag (2) and, if applicable, it also displays it though the screen of the electronic device (4).

7. The method for the identification of a garment and/or its characteristics by means of a smart equipment as disclosed in claim 6, characterized in that it is additionally comprised of the following steps: the software of the electronic device automatically obtains the climatology of the place where the user is located, thanks to the information obtained by geolocation; the software of the electronic device checks the suitability of the identified garment to the climatology of the place; and the software of the electronic device informs the user on the suitability or not of the garment to the climatology.

Description

DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0027] To complement the description that is been made and in order to assist to best understanding the invention, a drawing is attached to this specification as an integral part thereof, a drawing in which for illustration and no limitation purpose, the following has been represented:

[0028] FIG. 1 and unique.It shows a schematic representation of the smart equipment for the identification of garments and/or their characteristics, showing several garments with the tag containing information on each of them and the electronic device allowing to have access to the said information.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

[0029] Looking at the said FIG. 1 and unique, and in accordance with the numbering adopted in it, a non limitative example of the smart equipment for the identification of garments and/or the characteristics of the invention can be seen, which is comprised of the parts and elements indicated and described in detail thereafter.

[0030] Thus, according to the said FIGURE, it can be seen how the equipment (1) in question is comprised of, [0031] at least, one tag (2) located on the garment (3) that presents the electronic technology allowing to incorporate information on the said garment (3) which can be proximity read through a reader (5) [0032] an electronic device (4), type Smartphone, tablet or the like, comprised of a reader (5) adapted to proximity reading the said information of the said tag (2), and [0033] a software, for example type APP, capable to reproduce, at least sonically, the said information on the garment (3) or any of its characteristics contained in the said tag (2), although, preferably, it is also adapted to display the said information through its screen of the electronic device.

[0034] Preferably, the said reader (5) of the electronic device (4) and the software or APP it incorporates are adapted to reading and reproducing the content of information of different tags (2) located on different garments (3), so that, by approaching it to them, it allows to individually identify each garment or its characteristics.

[0035] Anyway and also preferably, the electronic technology of the tags (2) and of the reader (5) of the electronic device (4) is NFC technology of wireless communication, having short range and high frequency

[0036] The garment or garments (3) to which is designed the incorporation of the disclosed tag (2) is of any class and material, for men or women, for the street or for any specific activity, for example sport, including also underwear, outwear, handbags, gloves, caps or other fashion accessories or products of textile and no textile.

[0037] On the other hand, the information contained in the tag (2) can be of any kind on the different characteristics of the garment (3) as well as, optionally, also on the wash and preservation instructions of the garment, as well as its origin or any other relevant information and which could provide an added value to the garment.

[0038] In addition, the software preferably will be capable to check the climatology of the place where the user is located (for example the external temperature or rain forecast) thanks to the geolocation of the electronic device and to inform the user on the suitability of the identified garment to the climatology of the place.

[0039] The nature of this invention having been sufficiently described, as well as the way of implementing it, it is not deemed necessary to extend even more its explanation in order that any skilled man in the matter understands its extent and the advantages arising from it, letting being known that, within its essential nature, it can implemented with other embodiments different in details from that disclosed for example purpose and which shall also within the protection sought provided that its fundamental principle is not altered, changed or modified.
