Smart clothing is a type of clothing that can sense changes in the human body and the environment, and respond and adjust to such changes through a feedback mechanism. Perception, feedback, and reaction are the three basic elements of smart clothing. Smart clothing has always been a research hotspot in the textile and clothing industry. With the continuous development of science and technology, smart clothing integrates biochemical technology, electronic information technology, human-computer interaction technology, bionic technology and other technologies, and gradually develops into a multi-field, The product of multidisciplinary research. Nowadays, smart clothing has been used in many fields such as sports and health, medical health, military equipment, safety protection, life and entertainment, etc., and is moving towards more comprehensive functions, more comfortable wearing, more diversified technologies, and more intelligent materials direction of development.
Intelligent positioning function
The intelligent positioning function mainly means that clothing can feedback the wearer’s real-time location information through voice broadcast, data feedback, alarm reminders, etc. Intelligent positioning clothing mainly serves vulnerable groups such as the elderly and children and wearers with special needs. Hewlett Packard Laboratory developed a smart garment with a GPS positioning system, electronic compass and speed monitoring device; the Dutch company Philips developed a smart children’s ski shirt that provides guardians with the real-time location of children, ensuring children’s travel safety.
Extreme athletes, firefighters, military personnel and other people engaged in higher-risk jobs are also the target groups of smart clothing. Foreign R&D companies have placed a variety of comprehensive sensors in ski suits. When an accident occurs, they can send location information and physiological information of the injured to a remote terminal to help rescuers carry out their work. BLECHA and others have developed a smart firefighting system, including helmets, gloves, boots, tops and pants suits, etc., which can record movement trajectories, monitor firefighters’ heart rate, monitor temperature and humidity indicators and toxic gas content changes in the environment inside and outside the clothing, and help firefighting personnel to carry out rescue operations more safely.
Intelligent monitoring function
The intelligent monitoring function mainly refers to the ability to accurately Collect physiological characteristic information such as heart rate, electrocardiogram, blood oxygen, body fat, respiration, pulse, temperature, humidity and pressure, number of steps, electromyographic signals, etc. of the human body, and can analyze this information through the information processing module to monitor whether the human body is in Healthy physiological level provides reference for the prevention and control of certain diseases. Smart clothing with intelligent monitoring functions is mainly used in the fields of medical care and sports monitoring. The elderly can obtain their own health data and consciously prevent and detect diseases early; athletes can understand their physical status in time and adjust their exercise intensity. Smart clothing with intelligent monitoring functions provides scientific and technological support for people to exercise reasonably and live a healthy life.

Intelligent interactive function
Intelligent interactive function means that clothing can intelligently make feedback based on the needs of the human body or the limitations of environmental conditions. Response can produce emotional interaction, cognitive interaction, motor interaction, aesthetic interaction, etc. with the user. The Wearable Absence Project (WAP), an intelligent emotion-sensing clothing, can analyze the user’s mood and play appropriate music to help the wearer eliminate bad emotions; the “Vibrotactile Extra-Sensory Transducer” smart vest can convert sound into vibration feedback to the user, It helps the hearing-impaired to restore their hearing and enhance their hearing cognition and perception after training; the intelligent module analysis of the French Percko smart posture correction clothing can judge the human body posture through the stretching amount of the clothing driven by body movements, and remind the user to correct it. Spine posture; Nadi The intelligent interactive functions of clothing can provide users with more accurate and personalized services, making clothing more intelligent.

Intelligent adjustment function
The intelligent adjustment function has a wide range. Users can enhance or weaken the performance of clothing, change the shape of clothing, etc. through manual and other mobile terminal operations. The smart thermostatic clothes developed by Lesit Smart can adjust clothes to a specified temperature through APP settings; the graphene three-level electric heating clothes can manually adjust the heating power and set the heating range; the luminous color-changing smart clothes launched by Shenzhen Smart Clothing Technology Co., Ltd. Adjust the luminous color of the skirt through the APP, which also has intelligent adjustment function. </p
