  • Abstract
    In this paper we present a monitor and a remote control design of a heating cloth. This design uses an insulated heating resistance wire to warm up the cloth, which includes an application either on a phone or on a handheld controller. The built-in controller monitors and controls the temperature through Bluetooth transmission. The heating pad inside the heating cloth monitors both the heating pad temperature and the body temperature. The user can instantly know the body temperature and wear clothing which can be adjusted to retain body warmth.
