A glove, in particular a work glove, having a palm section covering the palm of the hand, a back section covering the back of the hand and a trigger device. The trigger device is provided at the point on the glove which, when the glove is being worn, rests against the radial side of the metacarpophalangeal joint of the index finger of a user's hand. The glove has a band-like base body, which includes the palm section and the back section, wherein the trigger device is, at least for the most part, provided on a tongue of the base body, which protrudes on the finger side beyond at least one of the finger-side edge of the palm section and an imaginary extension of the finger-side edge of the palm section.

Glove

A method for configuring a wearable user equipment for executing sub-processes, wherein the user equipment has a communication link with a device server, and the different the configuration sets for the user equipment associated with sub-processes are saved on the user equipment. The method includes a selection of one of the sub-processes that is to be executed by the user equipment, and an automatic application of the configuration of the configuration set associated with the selected sub-process on the wearable user equipment, wherein the user equipment includes a sensor and wherein the sub-process to be executed by the user equipment is selected by reading information by the sensor and by determining the sub-process to be selected based on the information read. Furthermore, a wearable user equipment as well as a work system are shown.

Method for configuring a wearable user equipment, wearable user equipment as well as work system

A method for operating a system having a sensor and/or information device and a main device is described. The sensor and/or information device includes a hand garment and a secondary device, with at least one input mechanism. The main device is connected to a database. The method includes the following steps: An actuating signal is generated using the at least one input mechanism. The actuating signal is received by the secondary device, and an input signal is transmitted on the basis of the actuating signal by the secondary device to the main device. An action instruction is generated by way of a main device based on the input signal and based on a predefined action sequence. The action instruction is transmitted to the secondary device. Moreover, a sensor and/or information device, a sensor and/or information system as well as computer programme are described.

Sensor and/or information device as well as sensor and/or information system

A method for operating a system including a main device, a secondary device, which is a sensor and/or information device, and a garment for receiving the secondary device is shown. The method includes steps of, logging by the main device of the usage events triggered on the system in a usage log, storage of the usage log on the main device and/or the secondary device, creation of usage statistics based on the usage log, recognition of a terminating event by the main device, the terminating event displaying the end of the current user's use of the system, and automatic deletion of the usage log and/or the usage statistics by the main device if the terminating event has been recognised. Moreover, a system including a main device, a secondary device and a garment is shown.

A method for configuring a wearable user equipment for executing sub-processes is shown, wherein the user equipment has a communication link with a device server, and the different sub-processes and the configuration sets for the user equipment associated with the sub-processes are stored on the device server. The method includes a selection of one of the sub-processes stored on the device server that is to be executed by the user equipment, and an automatic application of the configuration of the configuration set associated with the selected sub-process on the wearable user equipment, wherein changes by the user at least to parts of the configuration of the user equipment applied by the configuration set are blocked. Furthermore, a wearable user equipment as well as a work system are shown.

A method for operating a system having a sensor and/or information device and a main device is described. The sensor and/or information device includes a hand garment and a secondary device, with at least one input mechanism. The main device is designed as a smart device. The method includes the following steps: An actuating signal is generated using the at least one input mechanism. The actuating signal is received by the secondary device, and an input signal is transmitted on the basis of the actuating signal by the secondary device to the main device. An action instruction is generated by way of a main device based on the input signal and based on a predefined action sequence. The action instruction is transmitted to the secondary device. Moreover, a sensor and/or information device, a sensor and/or information system as well as computer programme are described.
