Abstract
A system of monitoring weight of a person includes a plurality of pressure sensors integrated with a shoe, for generating wireless signals responsive to weight of a person wearing the shoe when walking or running over ground. A processor processes the signals to determine an improper walking or running event, and a transmitter transmits a signal indicative of the improper walking or running event. A remote receiver receives the signal and generates an indication of the improper walking or running event.
Claims21
A system of monitoring weight of a person, comprising:
- a plurality of pressure sensors integrated with a shoe, for generating signals responsive to weight of a person wearing the shoe when walking or running over ground;
- a processor electrically coupled with the pressure sensors, for processing the signals to determine an improper walking or running event;
- a transmitter for transmitting a signal indicative of the improper walking or running event;
- and
- a remote receiver for receiving the signal and generating an indication of the improper running or walking event.
A system of monitoring weight of a person, comprising:
- a shoe and a plurality of pressure sensors integrated with the shoe or an insert for the shoe, for generating signals responsive to weight of a person wearing the shoe when walking or running over ground;
- and
- a processor electrically coupled with the pressure sensors, for processing the signals to determine improper walking or running of a person wearing the shoe or shoe insert.
In a shoe, the improvement comprising:
- a plurality of pressure sensors for generating signals responsive to applied weight;
- a processor electrically coupled with the pressure sensors, for processing the signals to determine improper walking or running;
- and
- a communications port for sending a signal indicative of the improper walking or running to a remote receiver.
