Shoe having physical measuring device

Abstract

A shoe includes a shoe sole having a chamber formed in a heel portion, a detecting device disposed in the chamber of the heel portion of the shoe sole and arranged to be depressed and actuated by a heel portion of a user, a processor device attached to the shoe and electrically coupled to the detecting device, to receive and to process the information into physical information of the user. A display device is coupled to the processor device, to receive and display the physical information from the processor device, and to allow the user to readily know his physical conditions. The physical information may be wirelessly transmitted to the display device.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a shoe, and more particularly to a shoe having a physical measuring device to measure weight, fat ratio, rate or movement, caloric use information, or other physical information of users. [0003] 2. Description of the Prior Art [0004] Typical shoes are provided for being worn by users, but may not be used to detect or to provide weight, fat ratio, rate or movement, caloric use information, or other physical information of users. [0005] Some of typical tools may comprise various detecting devices, to measure or detect forces, torques, etc. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,125,016 to Lehoczky et al. discloses a typical battery operated torque wrench having digital display, and comprising one or more variable resistors to detect torques generated by or acted by the torque wrench. However, such detecting devices may not be introduced into shoes to detect or provide physical information of use...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0009] The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a shoe including a physical measuring device to measure weight, fat ratio, rate or movement, caloric use information, or other physical information of users, and to allow users to easily and readily know their physical conditions.

[0010] In accordance with one aspect of the invention, there is provided a shoe comprising a shoe sole including a heel portion having a chamber formed therein, a detecting device disposed in the chamber of the heel portion of the shoe sole, and arranged to be depressed and actuated by a heel portion of a user, a processor device attached to the shoe and electrically coupled to the detecting device, to receiving information from the detecting device, and to process the information into physical information of the user, and a display device coupled to the processor device, to receive and display the physical information from the processor device, and to allow the user to readily know his physical conditions.

Problems solved by technology

Typical shoes are provided for being worn by users, but may not be used to detect or to provide weight, fat ratio, rate or movement, caloric use information, or other physical information of users.

However, such detecting devices may not be introduced into shoes to detect or provide physical information of users.

However, similarly, such detecting devices may not be introduced into shoes to detect or provide physical information of users.

However, similarly, such tension meters also may not be introduced into shoes to detect or provide physical information of users.
