Abstract

An electronic textile system and a docking assembly for the electronic textile system. The system includes a textile substrate, an input device attached to the textile substrate, and a docking assembly attached to the textile substrate to removably receive a controller device. The docking assembly includes a first electrical interface for mating with a second electrical interface of the controller device. The system includes an electrical conductive path network integrated in the textile substrate for electrically coupling the input device to the first electrical interface. When the controller device is received by the docking assembly, the input device can transmit an electronic signal representing input data to the controller device.
