Application: Multi-antenna tuned wearable article (Patent ID: US20240086676A1)
The patent filed by NIKE Inc. describes a wearable article, system, and method that includes a structure enclosing a body part, with two antennas positioned differently within the structure to communicate wirelessly through air and the body part. A transceiver is coupled to the antennas to communicate with an external system. The wearable article can transmit and receive data through different wireless communication modalities, such as ultra high frequency (UHF) communication, near field communication (NFC), or ISO 15693.
The method of making the wearable article involves laying out the antennas in specific positions within the structure to allow for wireless communication through air and the body part. The transceiver is then coupled to the antennas to enable communication with an external system. The antennas can be discrete components tuned differently from each other, and the information transmitted can relate to the wearable article or a person associated with it. Additionally, the antennas can be further tuned to transmit and receive data through the structure of the article of footwear, providing visual information related to the apparel.
