ELECTRONIC CONNECTOR FOR POWER SUPPLY EXCHANGE BETWEEN E-TEXTILE NETWORK MODULES AND NETWORK CONNECTION, AND METHOD OF USING THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electronic connector for power supply exchange between a number of network modules composed of existing communication lines or e-textiles and for connecting an e-textile platform to an external network.

SOLUTION: The electronic connector includes e-textile network modules connected via a plurality of network module interfaces for interfacing the e-textile network modules; an external network connection module which receives packet data from a packet transmitting/receiving module that carries out packet communication, transmits the packet data to an external network, receives packet data from the external network and transmits the packet data to the packet transmitting/receiving module; a battery information collecting module which grasps battery condition information; and a charge control module which exchanges power between modules to charge a battery of an e-textile network module in short supply of battery power.
