Abstract
A sport-boot pressure monitoring system and method of use. The system includes a left boot sensor having a left flexible fluid-containing bladder shaped to fit between a user's left leg and an interior surface of a left boot worn by the user and a left pressure sense element in pressure-sensing communication with the left flexible fluid-containing bladder, a right boot sensor that is similar to the left one, and a controller to provide a pressure alert if pressure between one of the user's legs and the interior surface of the boot worn on that leg violates a predetermined pressure threshold and to provide a proximity alert if a distance between the left and right boots violates a predetermined proximity threshold.
Claims28
A sport-boot pressure monitoring process comprising:
- placing a flexible, compressible left boot sensor between a user's left leg and an interior surface of a left boot worn by the user and a left pressure sense element in pressure-sensing communication with the left boot sensor;
- placing a right boot sensor between a user's right leg and an interior surface of a right boot worn by the user and a right pressure sense element in pressure-sensing communication with the right boot sensor;
- and
- providing a pressure alert if pressure between one of the user's legs and the interior surface of the boot worn on that leg violates a predetermined pressure threshold and providing a proximity alert if a distance between the left and right boots violates a predetermined proximity threshold.
A boot pressure monitoring system comprising:
- a controller comprising a left boot pressure sensor input communicable with a left boot pressure indicator and a right boot pressure sensor input communicable with a right boot pressure indicator, the left boot pressure indicator including a left boot pressure audio output, and the right boot pressure indicator including a right boot pressure audio output;
- a left boot pressure sensor communicable with the left boot pressure sensor input;
- and
- a right boot pressure sensor communicable with the right boot pressure sensor input.
