A body state estimation system includes a sensor module that detects an inclination around a certain axis of a shoe, and an estimation unit that estimates an inclination state of the body of a wearer of the shoe based on a detection result from the sensor module. The estimation unit estimates, for example, a heel valgus angle, an ankle dorsiflexion angle, and a knee flexion angle of the wearer, using a regression model.

An insole with embedded sensing system includes a pressure sensing layer arranged on the insole, an infrared sensing layer arranged inside the insole, and a sensing module installed inside an arch pad integrated with the insole. The sensing module is electrically coupled with the pressure sensing layer and the infrared sensing layer for receiving and processing detected electronic signals.

A monitoring system a user activity sensor to determine patterns of activity based upon the user activity occurring over time.

The present invention regards a sole for shoes including an upper surface, in use facing the user, a lower surface, in use facing the ground or the resting surface, and a thickness, wherein the thickness corresponds to a distance between the upper surface and the lower surface, wherein the sole includes at least one signaling means. Such at least one signaling means includes at least one vibrating motor, capable of vibrating inside such sole and/or at least one light device and the sole includes means for receiving-processing a control signal (sc) intended, in use, to receive and process such control signal (sc) and to emit in reply an activation-deactivation signal (S) towards such at least one signaling means.

An insole having a position tracking function according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: an insole body including a ball of the foot support part which supports the front part of the sole and a heel support part which supports the rear part of the sole; a GPS antenna for receiving a GPS signal; a mobile communication antenna for transmitting or receiving a mobile communication signal; a wireless charging coil for wirelessly receiving power; and a position tracking part connected to the GPS antenna and the mobile communication antenna to perform a position tracking function, wherein the GPS antenna is seated on the ball of the foot support part of the insole body and a container is seated on the heel support part of the insole body.

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 automating a collaborative operation between an intelligent electronic shoe (IES) and an intelligent transportation management (ITM) system includes receiving, via a detection tag attached to the IES shoe structure, a prompt signal from a transmitter-detector module communicatively connected to a traffic system controller of the ITM system. In reaction to the received prompt signal, the detection tag transmits a response signal to the transmitter-detector module. The traffic system controller uses the response signal to determine a location of the IES's user, and the current operating state of a traffic signal proximate the user's location. The traffic system controller transmits a command signal to the traffic signal to switch from the current operating state to a new operating state.

A cycling shoe assembly is basically provided with a cleat and a shoe. The cycling shoe is configured to be coupled to the cleat. In one configuration, the cycling shoe has a first connector that is configured to be electrically connected to a pedal in a coupled state where the cleat is coupled with the pedal. In another configuration, the cleat has a second connector that is configured to be electrically connected to a pedal in a coupled state where the cleat is coupled with the pedal.

A method of displaying a cryptographically secured digital collectable on a digital display includes receiving the cryptographically secured digital collectable; receiving an indication from a user to display the cryptographically secured digital collectable on the digital display provided on an article of footwear or apparel; receiving an article identifier from communication circuitry provided on the article of footwear in response to receiving the indication to display the digital collectable on the article of footwear or apparel; transmitting the cryptographically secured digital collectable to the article of footwear or apparel for display on the digital display; and recording or requesting the recordation that the cryptographically secured digital collectable is displayed in connection with the article identifier of the article of footwear or apparel.

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to the field of shoe production. There provides a smart shoe which has an identification function. The smart shoe includes an upper, a shoe sole and a foot sole print recognition sensor disposed in the shoe sole; the foot sole print recognition sensor is configured to acquire foot sole print information of a user who wears the smart shoe.
