Abstract

This invention relates to an integration system that enables the removable and modular placement of electronic modules in wearable textiles. The current technical situation presents several problems, including damage to electronic modules during washing due to their fixed integration into the garment structure, difficulty in easily removing them for maintenance / charging / replacement, and the lack of a standard infrastructure allowing the same module to be used in different garments. Within the scope of this invention, an enclosure, support structure, or placement compartment, configured for and specifically designed for electronic module placement, is positioned on the garment and is connected to the garment via at least one connection or positioning mechanism. The electronic module is positioned on the garment in a removable manner during use and is detachable from the garment before washing or maintenance. Thanks to this system, the electronic module is protected, the garment can be washed like a standard textile product, and the same electronic module can be used compatibly with multiple wearable textile products. An example application of the system is shown in the images section.
