Security handbag with variable multi-layered protective architecture and integrated electronic modules

Abstract

Handbag with a multi-layered protective architecture, comprising an outer material, a support layer, an RFID layer, an optional electronics carrier, and an inner lining.

Description

Technical field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of portable personal storage containers, in particular security handbags with integrated protective layers and electronic modules for theft prevention and functional support. State of the art

[0002] Handbags with individual security features, such as RFID protection, cut-resistant materials, or electronic alarm modules, are already known from current technology. Bags with integrated power sources or tracking functions also exist. However, these existing solutions only combine individual aspects and do not offer a holistic, multi-layered security architecture in conjunction with modular electronic components and high-quality design. Object of the invention

[0003] The object of the invention is to provide a handbag that combines several safety-relevant and functional protective layers in a single system while maintaining a high-quality, everyday-use design. Solution to the task

[0004] The task is solved by a handbag with a variable, multi-layered protective architecture, comprising at least a mechanical protective layer, an electronic authentication unit, a power supply unit, and communication and / or alarm modules. The layers can be combined modularly and adapted depending on the application scenario. 1. Multi-layered protective architecture • The bag may include several layers of mechanical protection, including cut-resistant fabrics, metal-reinforced structures, or flexible composite materials. • The layers can be permanently integrated or designed to be replaceable. • Intermediate layers may contain shock-absorbing or shape-stabilizing materials. 2. Electronic authentication unit • The bag may include a biometric access system, such as fingerprint or vein pattern recognition. • Alternatively or additionally, electronic identification can be carried out via NFC or Bluetooth-based devices. • The authentication unit can be coupled with an electronic locking mechanism. 3. Power supply unit • The bag may include an integrated energy source, such as a battery or a solar panel. • The power supply can power both the bag's electronic modules and external devices via USB or inductive interfaces. • The energy unit can be designed to be modular and interchangeable. 4. Communication and alarm modules • The bag may include a tracking module that uses GPS, Bluetooth, or cellular technologies. • An alarm module can trigger acoustic, visual, or electronic warning signals. • The modules can be paired with a mobile application that provides status information or sends notifications. 5. Modular configuration • The individual protection and function modules can be combined or exchanged depending on the application scenario. • The bag can be produced in various sizes, shapes and material variations, with the security architecture remaining independent of the external design. • Additional modules such as RFID protection compartments, hidden compartments or reinforced carrying straps can be integrated.

[0005] The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to exemplary embodiments and the drawings. The drawings show exemplary embodiments without limiting the scope of the invention. Character description Fig. Figure 1 shows a schematic representation of the multi-layered protective architecture of a security handbag according to the invention. The layers are arranged in an exploded view and comprise the outer material, the carrier layer, the RFID layer, an optional electronic carrier, and the inner lining. Fig. Figure 2 shows an embodiment of the bag with an integrated electronic authentication unit, which serves for the biometric identification of the authorized user. Fig. Figure 3 shows the power supply unit of the handbag according to the invention. The illustration includes a power supply module that has both electrical contacts for connection to the electronic carrier and an integrated solar charging surface. The solar charging surface is designed as a flexible, flat solar film that can be integrated into the outer layers of the bag and serves for continuous energy generation. The power supply module also contains an energy storage unit that enables the operation of further functional modules such as authentication, communication, or alarm. Fig. Figure 4 shows a communication and alarm module for location tracking and signal triggering, which can be used for theft detection and external notification. Fig. Figure 5 shows a possible modular configuration of the bag with combinable protective and functional modules that can be connected to the electronics carrier via a common interface.
