Abstract: A system includes a controller, a Hall-effect sensor and transceiver connected to the controller; and a flux-producing element having a plurality of magnetic flux lines emanating therefrom. The system may be secured to or contained within a wearable glove. The flux-producing element may be coupled to an object separate from the wearable glove. The Hall-effect sensor transmits a Hall-effect sensor signal to the controller when the Hall-effect sensor is perpendicular to at least some of the plurality of magnetic flux lines. The Hall-effect sensor signal may include data received from the flux-producing element. The controller transmits a controller signal to the transceiver after receiving the Hall-effect sensor signal. The controller signal may include input from a motion sensor and/or an orientation sensor connected to the controller. The transceiver may transmit the signal to a remote processor. The signal may be used for gesture recognition, information coding, and/or information processing.

Abstract: A system includes a controller and an RFID sensor, an RFID sensor reader having a detection region, and a transceiver connected to the controller. The system may be secured to or contained within a wearable glove. The RFID sensor is configured to transmit an RFID sensor signal to the RFID sensor reader when the RFID sensor is within the detection region. The RFID sensor reader is configured to transmit an RFID sensor reader signal to the controller after receiving the RFID sensor signal. The controller is configured to transmit a signal to the transceiver after receiving the RFID sensor reader signal. The signal may include input from a motion sensor and/or an orientation sensor connected to the controller. The transceiver may transmit the signal to a remote processor via an antenna. The signal may be used for gesture recognition, information coding, and/or information processing.

Abstract: A haptic language communication glove is disclosed containing, a wearable glove with accommodations for fingers therein, a plurality of motion sensors positioned near tips of fingers of the glove, a plurality of vibrators positioned near the tips of the fingers of the glove, a controller having communication channels to the plurality of motion sensors and plurality of vibrators, a wireless transceiver coupled to the controller, and a power supply, wherein tapping motion by the fingers of a user of the glove is interpreted as language characters of a first type, the language characters of the first type being converted into language characters of a second type for at least one of transmission and storage.
