Abstract
An electric personal moving apparatus is provided. The electric personal moving apparatus includes a pair of modules detachable/attachable to shoes or a user's feet, wherein each module moves by propulsion from a motor and can be variously controlled by short range wireless communication.
Claims15
An electric personal moving apparatus, comprising:
- a main module configured to:
- sense pressure generated by a left foot of a user and in response to sensing pressure, determine and provide control commands corresponding to the sensed pressure,
- in response to the commands provided by a main controller, operate the main module based on a control command priority and;
- transmit the control commands to a slave module, wherein the main controller provides and operates the main module based on speed information and pressure information received from the slave module;
- and
- the slave module configured to
- transmit the speed information and the pressure information to the main controller,
- operate, by a slave controller, the slave module according to the control command priority received from the main controller,
- sense pressure generated by a right foot of the user and in response determine and provide control commands corresponding to the pressure generated by a right foot of the user, wherein the slave module is operated based on commands provided by the slave controller and the control command priority received from the main module.

An electric personal moving apparatus, comprising:
- a short range communication terminal configured to transmit control commands through short range wireless communication;
- a main module configured to receive a user's left foot and configured to receive speed information from a slave module and operated based on the control commands from the short range communication terminal;
- and
- a slave module configured to receive a user's right foot and configured to transmit the speed information to the main module and operated based on the control commands from the short range communication terminal.
1 more element
An electric personal moving apparatus, comprising:
- a main module configured to receive a user's left foot including:
- a first communication unit configured to communicate with a second communication unit,
- a first drive motor driver mounted on the main module configured to control propulsion two or more wheels rotatably installed on the main module, and
- a main controller configured to control the first drive motor driver to accelerate, decelerate and turn the wheels on at least the main module based on commands input by a user;
- a slave module configured to receive a user's right foot including
- a second communication unit configured to communicate with a second communication unit′
- a second drive motor driver, mounted on the slave module, configured to control propulsion of two or more wheels rotatably installed on the slave module, and
- a slave controller configured to control the second drive motor driver to accelerate, decelerate and turn the wheel on the slave module based on commands input by a user.
