Abstract: A method for operating a system including a main device, a secondary device, which is a sensor and/or information device, and a garment for receiving the secondary device is shown. The method includes steps of, logging by the main device of the usage events triggered on the system in a usage log, storage of the usage log on the main device and/or the secondary device, creation of usage statistics based on the usage log, recognition of a terminating event by the main device, the terminating event displaying the end of the current user's use of the system, and automatic deletion of the usage log and/or the usage statistics by the main device if the terminating event has been recognised. Moreover, a system including a main device, a secondary device and a garment is shown.

Abstract: A thumb-triggered barcode scanner including a strap, an elastic base body configured for covering at least a portion of a back of a hand of a user and including a plurality of textile layers, a trigger device including an actuation element, a trigger surface through which the actuation element is configured to be actuated, and a protective wall surrounding the actuation element, one or more cables configured to provide an electrical connection, and a holder arranged on a backhand portion of the elastic base body configured to be positioned on the back of the hand, facing away from the hand. The holder has at least two electrical contact elements and is configured to replaceably receive an electronics module including a barcode scanner and to electrically connect the electronics module to the trigger device via the one or more cables.

Abstract: A method for operating a system having a sensor and/or information device and a main device is described. The sensor and/or information device includes a hand garment and a secondary device, with at least one input mechanism. The main device is connected to a database. The method includes the following steps: An actuating signal is generated using the at least one input mechanism. The actuating signal is received by the secondary device, and an input signal is transmitted on the basis of the actuating signal by the secondary device to the main device. An action instruction is generated by way of a main device based on the input signal and based on a predefined action sequence. The action instruction is transmitted to the secondary device. Moreover, a sensor and/or information device, a sensor and/or information system as well as computer programme are described.

Abstract: A method for configuring a wearable user equipment for executing sub-processes, wherein the user equipment has a communication link with a device server, and the different the configuration sets for the user equipment associated with sub-processes are saved on the user equipment.
