Patent ID: 7769412

Claim:
A wearable wireless telecommunications system comprising: at least two garments comprising one or more e-textiles; at least one interface device, the at least one interface device comprising at least one wireless communications component for communicating with a wireless telecommunications network, the at least one interface device further comprising one or more e-textile interfaces for interfacing with one or more e-textiles of either of the garments, the at least one interface device configured to determine presence received from one or more physiological monitoring components determining that one of the garments is currently being worn by a user and the at least one interface device configured to communicate a network presence indication to the wireless telecommunications network, causing the wireless telecommunications network to direct calls to the garment currently being worn by the user; at least one speaker communicatively coupled to the at least one interface device, the at least one speaker for receiving audio signals from the at least one interface device and converting the audio signals to sound; at least one microphone communicatively coupled to the at least one interface device, the at least one microphone for converting sound to audio signals for communication to the interface device; wherein at least one of the at least one speaker and the at least one microphone is communicatively coupled with the at least one interface device via at least one of the one or more e-textiles; and the one or more physiological monitoring components for automatically determining which garment is currently being worn by the user and to cause calls to be directed to the garment currently being worn by the user, wherein the at least one interface device automatically communicates the network presence indication to the wireless telecommunications network responsive to an automatic determination that the garment is currently being worn by the user.
