A shoe includes a sole, an upper member provided on the sole, and a smart displaying set for being controlled by a control unit. The smart displaying set includes a display mount which includes an accommodating seat configured from a predetermined flexible and elastic material. The display unit includes a main casing, a display screen, a control circuitry and a wireless transceiver. The display mount is attached on the shoe, while the display unit is detachably received in the accommodating seat and secured in position by at least one peripheral mounting rim of the display mount, so that a user is capable of detachably attaching the display unit on the display mount and select visual content to be displayed by the display screen through controlling the control unit.

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.

This invention describes a kind of multipurpose waterproof zipper shoe, including shoe sole, upper, optical sensor, controller, power source and control switch. One end of the upper is connected to shoe sole. The upper is equipped with an opening that has a waterproof zipper. The front end of the upper is armed with optical sensor, buzzer, controller, and light, and at one side of the upper, there is power source and control switch. Both the shoe sole and upper are equipped with a waterproof layer, which can attain the goal of water proofing. The cavity of the shoe sole is equipped with a shoe cover so that the shoe can be put into shoe cover in case of dirty road to prevent the shoe from being smudged. The shoe sole is armed with several sheets for magnetic therapy, which can provide continuous magnetic massage for feet to dredge main and collateral channels and address the problem of deficiency in vital energy and blood. This product is equipped with an optical sensor that can sense road conditions, a controller that controls the light, and a buzzer that alerts users.

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.

The present disclosure is directed toward an article of clothing that includes at least one two-way radio communication module able to emit and receive signals, at least one force sensor placed on the article of clothing and configured to detect a stress applied by a wearer to the force sensor, at least one annunciator configured to emit an annunciating signal, a battery, and a digital processing center configured to drive at least one radio communication module to emit a carrier signal, in response to the detection of at least one sequence of successive stresses on said force sensor. The digital processing center drives the annunciator to emit the annunciating signal following the reception of an external signal by the radio communication module or following the detection of at least one sequence of successive stresses on the force sensor.

Apparel is disclosed that can be worn to assist an interactive game in tracking the movement of the wearer. The apparel may include one or more tracking marks formed of designs, patterns, or reflective materials that can be easily tracked by an interactive game. By providing tracking marks on apparel, rather than using a special-purpose device that must be separately worn, a player may enjoy a more natural feel when playing the interactive game. A user can wear the apparel for everyday purposes, and then simply begin playing the game wearing the apparel without having to put on any additional equipment. The apparel may use reflective materials, and the interactive game can employ a camera and a light source configuration where the camera is located within the observation angle of a player employing retroreflective materials reflecting light from the light source.

A panel of a vehicle may be provided with or configured to provide interactive skin. The interactive skin may be configured for accepting touch input from a user. The interactive skin may include one or more flexible layers and may include or be mounted under a transparent display cover layer such as a layer of clear glass or plastic. Interactive skin may include a touch-sensitive layer that allows a user to provide touch input to the panel of the vehicle. Display pixels on interactive skin may be used to display visual information to the user. The interactive skin may be configured for detecting a condition of at least one panel and generating an output function in response to the detected condition.

A wearable may be provided with or configured to provide interactive skin. The interactive skin may be configured for accepting touch input from a user. The interactive skin may include one or more flexible layers and may include or be mounted under a transparent display cover layer such as a layer of clear glass or plastic. Interactive skin may include a touch-sensitive layer that allows a user to provide touch input to the wearable. Display pixels on interactive skin may be used to display visual information to the user. The interactive skin may be configured for detecting a condition of at least one wearable and generating an output function in response to the detected condition.

A position indicator assembly, including first and second positioning units, is attached to a pair of shoes in positions which are spaced when the shoes are aligned together. Each positioning unit includes a first proximity switch element, at least one indicator, a battery and a second proximity switch element. The battery is electrically connected to the indicator when the first proximity switch element of one of the first and second position units is arranged a predetermined, spaced distance from the second proximity switch element of the other of the first and second positioning units in order to provide a visual and/or audible indication to a wearer that the pair of shoes are on the correct feet.
