Wireless communication between computing platforms and wearable articles.
This disclosure presents systems and methods to provide wireless communication between computing platforms and wearable articles. Exemplary implementations may: obtain wireless communication signals from a first wearable article and detect presence of the first wearable article; obtain wireless communication signals from the first wearable article conveying article information identifying the first wearable article and/or a user; identify customizable attributes of one or more application programs; determine custom-defined values for the customizable attributes; effectuate the custom-defined values for the customizable attributes of one or more application programs such that the one or more application programs reflect the custom-defined values; and/or perform other operations.
FIELD (1) This disclosure relates to systems and methods to provide wireless communication between computing platforms and articles. BACKGROUND (2) Electronics may be used to collect data in a variety of ways. Sensors may be embedded in devices worn by users to collect data about the user, for example, fitness metrics. SUMMARY (3) One aspect of the disclosure relates to a system configured to provide wireless communication between computing platforms and articles. An article may be worn, held, carried by, attached to, and/or otherwise coupled to a user. In some implementations, an article may include one or more of an article of clothing, an article of accessory, an article of gear, and/or other considerations. An article of clothing may refer to a covering designed to be worn on a person's body. An article of accessory may be categorized into one or more general areas: those that are carried, those that are worn, and/or other areas. An article of gear may include item(s) providing some functionality beyond mere covering a body and/or accessorizing. An article of gear may comprise a subset of an article of accessory, however, providing additional functionality. (4) Traditionally, radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags may be used for identifying and tracking objects to which the RFID tags are attached. RFID tags may include an integrated circuit and an antenna that transmit data to an RFID reader. RFID tags generally work over short distances. RFID's low-frequency (LF) im
1. A system configured to provide wireless communication between computing platforms and wearable articles of clothing, the system comprising: a first wearable article of clothing associated with a user, the first wearable article of clothing including a first transceiver and a first non-transitory electronic storage, the first transceiver being configured to transmit and/or receive wireless communication signals, the first non-transitory electronic storage storing article information, the article information identifying the first wearable article of clothing based on a characterization of content portrayed on the first wearable article of clothing; and one or more physical processors configured by machine-readable instructions to: obtain a set of one or more wireless communication signals from the first wearable article of clothing and detect presence of the first wearable article of clothing based on the set of one or more wireless communication signals; obtain the article information; identify customizable attributes of one or more application programs; determine custom-defined values for the customizable attributes of the one or more application programs based on the article information such that the custom-defined values are specific to the article information, wherein the custom-defined values are specific to the article information by virtue of the custom-defined values being representative of the characterization of the content portrayed on the first wearable article of clothing; and effectuate the custom-defined values for the customizable attributes of the one or more application programs such that the one or more application programs are configured to reflect the custom-defined values. ||
12. A method to provide wireless communication between computing platforms and wearable articles of clothing, the wearable articles including a first wearable article of clothing associated with a user, the first wearable article of clothing including a first transceiver and a first non-transitory electronic storage, the first transceiver being configured to transmit and/or receive wireless communication signals, the first non-transitory electronic storage storing article information, the article information identifying the first wearable article of clothing based on a characterization of content portrayed on the first wearable article of clothing, the method comprising: obtaining a set of one or more wireless communication signals from the first wearable article of clothing and detecting presence of the first wearable article of clothing based on the set of one or more wireless communication signals; obtaining the article information; identifying customizable attributes of one or more application programs; determining custom-defined values for the customizable attributes of the one or more application programs based on the article information such that the custom-defined values are specific to the article information, wherein the custom-defined values are specific to the article information by virtue of the custom-defined values being representative of the characterization of the content portrayed on the first wearable article of clothing; and effectuating the custom-defined values for the customizable attributes of the one or more application programs such that the one or more application programs are configured to reflect the custom-defined values.
