Abstract

A smart module for a smart shoe includes a second cover, a first cover, an antenna, a circuit board, and a power supply unit. The second cover cooperates with the first cover to form a housing for receiving the antenna, the circuit board, and the power supply unit. The antenna and the power supply unit are electrically connected to the circuit board. The power supply unit supplies power to the circuit board and the antenna. The first cover includes at least one positioning member. The antenna includes at least one positioning hole. The circuit board includes at least one positioning hole. The positioning holes in the antenna and the circuit board align with and receive the positioning member of the first cover to ensure that the antenna and the circuit board are mounted at appropriate locations in the first cover. Therefore, the smart module facilitates easy assembly.
