## Abstract

A mobile terminal detects a self-device being located at a predetermined location, and stops reception of sensing information from a module device that transmits the sensing information, if being located at the predetermined location is detected. A fixed device receives the sensing information from the module device, and transmits the sensing information to a cloud server.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An upload system, comprising:
a first upload device; and
a second upload device, wherein
the first upload device includes:
at least one first memory configured to store first instructions; and
at least one first processor configured to execute the first instructions to:
detect the first upload device being located at a predetermined location, and
stop reception of sensing information from a module device that transmits the sensing information, if being located at the predetermined location is detected, and
a second upload device includes:
at least one second memory configured to store second instructions; and
at least one second processor configured to execute the second instructions to:
receive the sensing information from the module device and transmit the sensing information to a cloud device; and
determine whether the sensing information has been transmitted from the module device attached to a left shoe or from that attached to a right shoe, based on a reception strength of the sensing information received from the module device.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The upload system according to claim 1, wherein
the at least one second processor is configured to execute the second instructions to:
determine whether a placement location of a shoe having the module device attached thereto is a predetermined proximate location, and
receive the sensing information from the module device attached to the shoe at the predetermined proximate location and transmit the sensing information to the cloud device.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The upload system according to claim 2, wherein
the at least one second processor is configured to execute the second instructions to:
output a request for transmission of the sensing information to the module device if the placement location of the shoe is determined as the predetermined proximate location.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The upload system according to claim 1, wherein
the first upload device moves, and
the second upload device is fixed in a vicinity of a placement location of a shoe.

### Claim 5

An upload system, comprising:
a first upload device; and
a second upload device, wherein
the first upload device includes:
at least one first memory configured to store first instructions; and
at least one first processor configured to execute the first instructions to:
detect the first upload device being located at a predetermined location, and
stop reception of sensing information from a module device that transmits the sensing information, if being located at the predetermined location is detected, and
the second upload device includes:
at least one second memory configured to store second instructions; and
at least one second processor configured to execute the second instructions to:
receive the sensing information from the module device and transmit the sensing information to a cloud device; and
determine whether module devices corresponding respectively to left and right shoes are attached respectively to the left and right shoes, based on information included in the sensing information received from the module device and a reception strength thereof.

### Claim 6

An upload device further included in an upload system including another upload device that includes at least one first memory configured to store first instructions; and at least one first processor configured to execute the first instructions to detect the another upload device being located at a predetermined location, and stop reception of sensing information from a module device, if being located at the predetermined location is detected, the upload device comprising:
at least one second memory configured to store second instructions; and
at least one second processor configured to execute the second instructions to:
receive the sensing information from the module device and transmit the sensing information to a cloud device; and
determine whether the sensing information has been transmitted from the module device attached to a left shoe or from that attached to a right shoe, based on a reception strength of the sensing information received from the module device.

### Claim 7

An upload device further included in an upload system including another upload device that includes at least one first memory configured to store first instructions; and at least one first processor configured to execute the first instructions to detect the another upload device being located at a predetermined location, and stop reception of sensing information from a module device, if being located at the predetermined location is detected, the upload device comprising:
at least one second memory configured to store second instructions; and
at least one second processor configured to execute the second instructions to:
receive the sensing information from the module device and transmit the sensing information to a cloud device; and
determine whether module devices corresponding respectively to left and right shoes are attached respectively to the left and right shoes, based on information included in the sensing information received from the module device and a reception strength thereof.
