Presented are intelligent electronic footwear and apparel with controller-automated features, methods for making/operating such footwear and apparel, and control systems for executing automated features of such footwear and apparel. A method for operating an intelligent electronic shoe (IES) includes receiving, e.g., via a controller through a wireless communications device from a GPS satellite service, location data of a user. The controller also receives, e.g., from a backend server-class computer or other remote computing node, location data for a target object or site, such as a virtual shoe hidden at a virtual spot. The controller retrieves or predicts path plan data including a derived route for traversing from the user's location to the target's location within a geographic area. The controller then transmits command signals to a navigation alert system mounted to the IES's shoe structure to output visual, audio, and/or tactile cues that guide the user along the derived route.

Presented are intelligent electronic footwear with controller automated features, methods for making/using such footwear, and control systems for executing automated features of intelligent electronic footwear. An intelligent electronic shoe includes an upper that attaches to a user's foot, and a sole structure attached to the upper for supporting thereon the user's foot. A collision threat warning system, a detection tag, a wireless communications device, and a footwear controller are all mounted to the sole structure/upper. The detection tag receives a prompt signal from a transmitter-detector module and responsively transmits thereto a response signal. The footwear controller receives, through the wireless communications device, a pedestrian collision warning signal generated by the remote computing node responsive to the response signal. Responsively, the footwear controller transmits a command signal to the collision threat warning system to generate a visible, audible and/or tactile alert warning the user of an impending collision with a vehicle.

Provided is a wearable traffic signal device, a blinker, which is configured to send traffic direction signals when a user is riding a micro-mobility. The device includes LEDs disposed in the main body of the blinker and signals may be sent through controlling the LEDs. The blinker makes it easy for other vehicles to identify the location of a person wearing it, thereby preventing traffic accidents, and sends signals in various situations. Therefore, it protects people, such as, drivers of personal transportation using bar handles like electric scooters, children as well as the elderly, and people with disabilities who ride wheelchairs, or people who jog or walk on the side of the road, from the risk of traffic accidents. Further, in the current situation where carbon neutrality is urgent, the signaling device can allow many people to use non-motorized transportation vehicles, such as, scooters, bicycles, and micro-mobilities more.
