APPAREL WITH WIRELESS-POWERED SENSORS

An article of apparel (100), system, and methods optionally include a textile material (110), a mobile device holder (112), coupled to the textile material (110), configured to secure a mobile device with respect to the article of apparel (100), and an electrical system (400). The electrical system (400) includes an antenna (102), configured to communicatively couple with a primary antenna of the mobile device, positioned in relation to the holder (112), a power supply, coupled to the antenna (102), configured to output power based on a current as generated in the antenna (102) when communicatively coupled with the primary antenna, a controller (404), coupled to the power supply, operable based on the power as output by the power supply, and a sensor (106), coupled to the textile material (110), communicatively coupled to the controller (404) via a conductor (108), configured to detect a sensor condition and output a sensor signal when powered by the power output by the power supply.
