Abstract
A method and a system are provided to re-create an internal shape of a shoe using a pneumatically-powered inflatable sock. For example, a shoe last used to manufacture a shoe product based on a selected shoe identifier may be identified. A description of the dimensions of the shoe last may be accessed. The description of the dimensions of the shoe last may be expressed as a set of fills per chamber of a sock having a plurality of fillable chambers. The set of fills per chamber may be determined based on the displacement of an inner wall of the sock when the fillable chambers are in an inflated state. Further, an instruction to cause the plurality of fillable chambers to inflate according to the accessed description may be transmitted.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- an identification module configured, based on a selected shoe identifier, to identify a shoe last used to manufacture a shoe product;
- a description module configured to access, using one or more processors, a description of dimensions of the shoe last, the description being expressed as a set of fills per chamber of a sock having a plurality of fillable chambers, the set of fills per chamber determined based on a displacement of an inner wall of the sock when the fillable chambers are in an inflated state;
- and
- a communication module configured to transmit an instruction to cause the plurality of fillable chambers to inflate according to the description.
A method comprising:
- based on a selected shoe identifier, identifying a shoe last used to manufacture a shoe product;
- accessing, using one or more processors, a description of dimensions of the shoe last, the description being expressed as a set of fills per chamber of a sock having a plurality of fillable chambers, the set of fills per chamber determined based on a displacement of an inner wall of the sock when the fillable chambers are in an inflated state;
- and
- transmitting an instruction to cause the plurality of fillable chambers to inflate according to the description.
A non-transitory machine readable medium comprising a set of computer instructions that implement a method, the method comprising:
- based on a selected shoe identifier, identifying a shoe last used to manufacture a shoe product;
- accessing, using one or more processors, a description of dimensions of the shoe last, the description being expressed as a set of fills per chamber of a sock having a plurality of fillable chambers, the set of fills per chamber determined based on a displacement of an inner wall of the sock when the fillable chambers are in an inflated state;
- and
- transmitting an instruction to cause the plurality of fillable chambers to inflate according to the description.
