摘要：

The Vorwerk group is planning to produce carpets with woven-in intelligence at its advanced weaving mill in Germany. Through a cooperation agreement with Infineon Technologies the company hopes to produce a prototype by the end of 2004, using Infineon's concept of integrating microelectronics in textile surfaces. This makes it possible to embed sensor functions, such as monitors for pressure, temperature or vibration, directly into woven fabric materials. This could allow carpets to be used as motion or fire sensors or for the control of air-conditioning and alarm systems.
