Benefits of technology

The present invention provides an article of clothing, such as a jacket or shirt, with a pocket built in to hold a mobile device. This allows the user to use the device's functions while wearing the garment, such as recording video and audio, without needing to hold it in their hand. The pocket can be designed to hold different types of mobile devices and can be sewn into the garment or attached using straps or snaps. The pocket can also be waterproof to protect the mobile device from damage due to water or sweat. Overall, this invention allows for hands-free and secure use of mobile devices while wearing clothing.

Problems solved by technology

Purpose build harness systems are manufactured for accomplishing this but they are something that a user has to wear as an accessory which does not lend itself to spontaneous use.

Abstract

This invention is a pocket that is incorporated into a garment to hold a mobile device safely and securely on the wearer with its sensors exposed such that the mobile device functionality relative to data collection or utilization (audio, video, photographic and other data) is possible in a hands free nature. This will allow a user, without the need for special cases or harnesses, to do hands free POV (Point of View) video recording, photographs, audio recording, and other application driven data collection such as GPS trip mapping, environmental data collection, and two way voice activated communication. The intention is to have the pocket to be a part of many types of clothing consumers wear, so the mobile device is easily put to use for the described functions, is readily available when needed and is a convenient and inexpensive alternative to special harnesses, holders or carriers. The invention also carries out the functions of a standard mobile device holster or harness such that the user can access the device for playing music or other functions in a hands free manner.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]Not ApplicableSTATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH[0002]Not applicableREFERENCE TO SEQUENCE LISTING, A TABLE,OR A COMPUTER PROGRAM LISTING COMPACT DISC APPENDIX[0003]Not applicableBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0004]The use of POV (Point Of View) video recording has been growing rapidly with the rise of social media and with the introduction of wearable technology capable of taking high quality video recordings. Those devices are priced in a range that many people wishing to participate are unable to afford yet a far greater number of people are already carrying a high definition recording device in the form of their mobile device such as a smartphone. As technology has enhanced the capability of mobile devices to gather high quality photographs, video and audio their ability to bridge the gap between purpose built recording devices and the smartphone functionality and adaptability makes them an ideal candidate for utilization.
