A system, device and method for generating date representative of a person and using that data as criteria in a selection made for that person. The system includes a device worn on or adjacent to a user's foot. The device includes sensing means with an accelerometer and/or gyroscope and/or pressure sensing means to measure parameters of a person's foot during physical activities. The parameter data is collected and transmitted to a data processing means to generate a representative data group for the person. Matching means compare the representative data group to data stored in memory. Group data includes data representative of a range of footwear. Indication means are controlled to indicate, from the result of the matching means, any of the range of footwear which are selected.
A system for generating data representative of a person and using that data as criteria in a selection made for that person, said system comprising:

(canceled)
A system for generating data representative of a person and using that data as criteria in a selection made for that person, said system including a device to be worn on a foot of the user, wherein said device includes sensing means to allow one or more parameters relating to that person to be measured during one or more physical activities performed by the person and data relating to the one or more parameters is collected and transmitted via a transmission means to a data processing means to allow a representative data group to be generated for the said person and matching means compare the said representative data group to data stored in a memory and indication means are controlled to indicate the result of the matching means.
12-15. (canceled)
A system in accordance with claim 15 wherein the said further data includes any or any combination of height, weight and/or age of the person and/or type of terrain in which footwear is to be worn and/or other criteria relating to the footwear such as price and/or colour.
A device to be mounted in position on or adjacent to a foot of a person, wherein said device includes sensing means including an accelerometer a gyroscope and a pressure sensor to allow one or more parameters relating to that person's foot to be measured during one or more physical activities performed by the person and data relating to the one or more parameters is collected and transmitted via a transmission means from the device for subsequent processing wherein the said sensing means are located on a carrier to be placed and retained on the foot.
A method for the analysis of one or more parameters relating to a person's foot, said method comprising the steps of providing and using a combination of sensing means provided as part of a device and locating the device on or adjacent to the foot whilst the person performs at least a walking and/or running action for a period of time and/or for a particular distance, collecting data from the sensing means which is created during the movement of the person's foot, transmitting the data from the device to data processing means and processing the data using one or a series of algorithms to output a representative data group related to that person to a post processing database and performing a matching exercise with respect to a database of data relating to a range of shoes and upon the results of the match selecting one or more pairs of shoes from the range which are suggested to the person as being best suited for them to wear.
