An interactive visual display platform including low power wearable satellite accessories for identifying and interfacing with users. A visual display sensing surface generates graphical images according to objects detected proximate to the surface. Three dimensional gaming upon a two dimensional surface by the creation of environments according to a user's physical movements.

This present invention relates to a customizable intelligent footwear. More specifically, the intelligent footwear identifies the needs and requirements of the users and accordingly can self-adjust its various features such as ankle support, arch support, quarter support, and others to enhance comfort and performance of the footwear. The intelligent footwear is integrated with a plurality of sensors and chipsets that collects information regarding user's needs, and based on the collected information adjusts different parameters of the footwear. Additionally, the footwear can be easily paired with a compatible software application to allow the wearers to access information related to their footwear features, step counts, sports related content, walking habits, and other relevant information.

Provided is an insole that can check the operation of a sensor and accurately and quickly connect with a user terminal, the user terminal and a pairing method thereof. The method for pairing an insole comprises scanning an insole, in which at least one pressure sensor and tactile element are installed, providing a vibration command to the scanned insole to vibrate a tactile element of the scanned insole, and pairing the insole including the vibrating tactile element and a user terminal.

A dynamic pressure controlling footwear is disclosed and includes a main body, a control box and plural dynamic pressure controlling components. The main body includes a vamp disposed on an airbag. The control box includes a microprocessor and is disposed on a top surface region of the vamp. Each dynamic pressure controlling component is positioned on the airbag and includes an actuating pump and a pressure sensor packaged on a substrate by a semiconductor process. The substrate is positioned on the airbag and electrically connected to the microprocessor of the control box through a conductor. The actuating pump is in fluid communication with the airbag for inflating the airbag. The pressure sensor detects an inner pressure of the airbag to generate a pressure information. The microprocessor enables or disables the actuating pump according to the pressure information, so that the inner pressure of the airbag is adjusted.

A system and method that counteracts foot motion relative to a surface, wherein the foot carries footwear. There are a plurality of magnetic units, each unit comprising a magnet located proximate an underside of the surface. There are sensors for determining one or more of the position, orientation, acceleration, and force of the foot on the surface. A controller is in communication with the sensors and the magnetic units. The controller is configured to control the magnets to develop a time-varying magnetic field that induces currents in a conductor of the footwear such that a magnetic field created by the induced currents opposes the time-varying magnetic field, creating a repulsive force that reduces frictional forces between the footwear and the surface.

An article of footwear includes a motorized tensioning system, sensors, and a gesture control system. Based on information received from one or more sensors the gesture control system may detect a prompting gesture and enters an armed mode for receiving further instructions. In the armed mode the system may detect a variety of different control gestures that correspond to different tensioning commands.

A device for measuring the temperature of a lower extremity of a subject in need of such monitoring. The device is especially suited for monitoring the foot temperature of a subject with diabetes or another condition that could lead to lower blood circulation and temperature in the lower extremities of the subject. Methods of preventing complications from such diseases, disorders, syndromes, or conditions are provided. The past recorded temperatures of the subject may be stored for comparisons and trends analyses.

A foot presence sensor system for an active article of footwear can include a sensor housing configured to be disposed at or in an insole of the article, and a controller circuit, disposed within the sensor housing, configured to trigger one or more automated functions of the footwear based on a foot presence indication. In an example, the sensor system includes a capacitive sensor configured to sense changes in a capacitance signal in response to proximity of a body. A dielectric member can be provided between the capacitive sensor and the body to enhance an output signal from the sensor.

An article of footwear can include provisions for improving the operation and use of various systems associated with the article. An automated tensioning system can be configured to provide and perform a variety of functions associated with the fastening of the article of footwear. The automated tensioning system may tighten and loosen the article of footwear through the operation of a motor. The automated tensioning system may also be able to store and recall a preset tension level.

A wearable article, a system, and methods include a structural material configured to enable the wearable article to the worn on a body, a piezoelectric generator, positioned with respect to the structural material in a configuration to be flexed to output a voltage, a data translator, coupled to the piezoelectric generator, configured to output electronic data based on the voltage, and an electronic data storage, coupled to the data translator, configured to store the electronic data from the data translator.
