  • Publication number: 20200107779
    Abstract: A sensing system utilizing a multifunctional fabric provides capabilities of self-monitoring and monitoring the ambient environment before using the sensing fabric, and consequently, the system can determine whether the fabric is operating properly before using the fabric. The system can continuously provide information for determining a previous sensing result as well as continuously monitoring a signal of interest. If a problem occurs in any interval, the system can notify a user or a monitoring center of the problem, and resolves the problem so as to provide an uninterrupted monitored signal, achieving full-time monitoring. As a result, it is not required to frequently replace the sensing fabric, resulting in an environmental friendly effect. More importantly, the system has an energy generation mechanism and can conserve the energy. The system is applicable to a human being or animal.
