The invention relates to a device for manufacturing an individually configured insole for a shoe.

Corresponding devices for manufacturing or manufacturing an individually configured insole for a shoe are basically known from the prior art.

Although individually configured insoles for a shoe can be produced with generally satisfactory results with known devices, there is a need for improvement or further development of corresponding devices.

The need for improvement or further development of corresponding devices exists in particular against the background of the data that can be processed in the context of the manufacture or manufacture of individually configured insoles in order to achieve the greatest possible degree of individualization of the insoles to be manufactured and, as a result, the best possible wearing and working properties, in particular with regard to on orthopedic support to be able to realize for a wearer.

Proceeding from this, the present invention is based on the object of specifying an improved device for manufacturing an individually configured insole for a shoe.

The object is achieved by a device for manufacturing an individually configured insole for a shoe according to claim 1. Possible embodiments of the device are specified in the dependent claims.

The device (“device”) described herein is a device for manufacturing or manufacturing at least one individually configured or individualized insole for a shoe. The device is therefore set up to manufacture or manufacture at least one individually configured insole for a shoe. An insole that can be manufactured or manufactured with the device is generally an insole that can be inserted into a shoe or, when used as intended, is inserted into a shoe.

An insole that can be manufactured or manufactured with the device is important with regard to a specific wearer, i. H. in particular with regard to a foot of a particular wearer, individually configured. The insole that can be manufactured or manufactured with the device is therefore in its geometrical-constructive properties and / or in its structural properties, i. H. in particular mechanical properties, at least in sections, in particular completely, designed with a view to a foot of a specific wearer. This can in particular include the formation of a footbed configured with respect to a foot of a wearer.

The device comprises at least one data processing device, in particular implemented in terms of hardware and / or software, and at least one manufacturing device that can be assigned or assigned to the at least one data processing device. The data processing device and the manufacturing device represent functional units of the device, which interact when the device is in operation to manufacture an insole.

The data processing device, which z. B. is designed as a computer or includes at least one such, is set up on the basis of data provided therefrom to generate individually configured insole data (“insole data”). Corresponding data are, in particular, raw foot data which describe the morphology of at least one foot of a wearer of an insole to be manufactured or manufactured by means of the device, and / or shoe interior data which describe an interior of a shoe, in particular a shoe, in which the Device to be manufactured insole is to be inserted, describe, and / or raw last data describing the basic geometric-structural design of at least one preconfigured last.

The data processing device generates the insole data typically on the basis of at least two of said data; consequently, the data processing device typically generates the insole data either on the basis of raw foot data and shoe interior data or at least on the basis of raw foot data and raw last data or at least on the basis of internal shoe data and raw last data.

As follows, the data processing device can take into account not only corresponding raw foot data or corresponding shoe interior data or corresponding raw last data but also further data when generating corresponding insole data.

The degree of the individual or individualized configuration of an insole that can be or is to be manufactured by means of the device can be determined by the number and the information content of the data processing device provided data are influenced. Typically, more data provided enables a higher degree of individual or individualized configuration of an insole that can be or is to be manufactured by means of the device.

The insole data that can be generated or generated by the data processing device describe a geometrical-structural design of an insole to be manufactured by means of the device and / or an insole to be manufactured by means of the device, at least in sections, possibly completely, adapted to the morphology of the at least one foot described by the raw foot data and / or at least in sections, if necessary completely Geometric-constructive design of an insole to be manufactured by means of the device and / or an at least partially, if necessary completely, geometrical-constructive design of at least one preconfigured last adapted to the geometrical-constructive basic design of at least one preconfigured last, adapted to the shoe interior described by the shoe interior data of the device to be manufactured insole.

The data processing device is therefore set up, when generating corresponding insole data, various data influencing the geometrical-constructive design or the structural properties of an insole to be manufactured by means of the device, namely - in the form of raw foot data - the morphology of at least one foot of a wearer of a device Insole to be manufactured and / or - in the form of the shoe interior data - an interior of a shoe, in particular a shoe, in which an insole to be manufactured by means of the device is to be inserted, descriptive data and / or - in the form of the raw last data - the geometrical-constructive Basic design of at least one preconfigured bar to take descriptive data into account. The consideration of corresponding data when generating the insole data forms the basis for a (highly) customizable or (highly) individualized production of an insole to be produced by means of the device.

The data processing device is therefore set up on the basis of corresponding input data, i. H. corresponding raw foot data and / or shoe interior data and / or raw last data to generate individually configured insole data which enable a (highly) customizable or (highly) individualized production of an individually configured insole to be manufactured.

As can be seen below, the insole data that can be generated or generated by the data processing device can be converted into manufacturing or production data for the manufacturing device that can be assigned or assigned to the data processing device.

The manufacturing device is accordingly set up to carry out at least one machining and / or processing process of at least one material that can be used or used for manufacturing a respective insole or at least one material structure that can be used or is used for manufacturing a respective insole.

As will be seen below, additive (building up) or subtractive (removing) manufacturing processes in particular can be used for the actual manufacture of an insole. The manufacturing facility can therefore specifically z. B. be designed as an additive manufacturing device and / or as a subtractive manufacturing device or comprise at least one such.

Assignability or assignment of the manufacturing device to the data processing device is to be understood in particular that the manufacturing device is functionally assigned to the data processing device such that the former can manufacture an insole on the basis of insole data generated by the data processing device. The data processing device and the manufacturing device can accordingly be arranged or designed as separate functional units of the device spatially separated from one another; It is essential that the manufacturing device generated corresponding data processing devices Insole data, e.g. B. via data carriers, via global or local wired or wireless communication connections, or via global or local wired or wireless communication networks, etc., can be provided or provided.

In this way, the user-friendliness of the device can be improved as corresponding raw foot data can in principle be recorded or recorded everywhere and can be transmitted to the data processing device in terms of data. Of course, it is also conceivable that corresponding raw data from the data processing device, e.g. B. by user inputs, can also be supplied manually. Thus, the data processing device by a user input z. B. Dimensions, such. B. a length, width, height, etc., of a foot can be fed manually. In this case, of course, the data processing device comprises a suitable user interface which enables a corresponding input from the user.

The recording of corresponding raw data via a corresponding user-side terminal can therefore also take place (exclusively) on the user side, if necessary; this can considerably improve the practicability or the manageability of the device in connection with the acquisition of corresponding data. A user-side terminal can, however, e.g. B. in the form of a stationary scanner, also be designed as an immobile or stationary device; such can z. B. be installed in an orthopedic shop.

A corresponding raw last data recording device can be connected or connected to the data processing device via a global or local wired or wireless, optionally encrypted, data or communication connection, in particular for the transmission of raw last data recorded by means of the raw last data recording device to the data processing device. In this way it is possible to record or record corresponding raw last data at a different location than the processing of the raw last data. In this way, the user-friendliness of the device can be improved, as corresponding raw last data can in principle be recorded or recorded everywhere and can be transmitted to the data processing device in terms of data. Of course, it is also conceivable that corresponding raw data from the data processing device, e.g. B. by user-side inputs, can also be supplied manually. Thus, the data processing device can by a user input z. B. Dimensions, such. B. a length, width, height, etc., of a strip can be fed manually. In this case, of course, the data processing device comprises a suitable user interface which enables a corresponding input from the user.

A corresponding last raw data recording device does not have to form a structural part of the data processing device. It is therefore also conceivable that the or a corresponding raw data recording device z. B. in a user-side terminal, in particular in a mobile or portable user-side terminal, preferably in a smartphone, tablet, laptop, is integrated. The recording of the corresponding raw data on the last via a corresponding user-side terminal can therefore also take place (exclusively) on the user side, if necessary; this can considerably improve the practicability or the manageability of the device in connection with the acquisition of corresponding data. A user-side terminal can, however, e.g. B. in the form of a stationary scanner, also be designed as an immobile or stationary device; such can z. B. be installed in an orthopedic shop.

The device can furthermore comprise a shoe interior data recording device that can be assigned or assigned to the data processing device, in particular implemented in terms of hardware and / or software, which is used to record shoe interior data, which is an interior of a shoe, in particular a shoe, in which an individually configured to be manufactured by means of the device Insole is to be inserted, is set up.

H. z. B. another sports shoe, a classic lace-up shoe, etc. to select and spend.

This is possible because the data processing device can be set up to store various data, i. H. z. B. geometrical-constructive data, from a variety of shoes (shoe data) with each other with regard to at least one, z. B. by means of appropriate default data definable or defined, comparison criterion with each other or with each other. Corresponding shoe data can be stored in a database implemented in hardware and / or software, to which the data processing device has access.

So it is z. B. conceivable that the data processing device based on user-side default data such. B. a user-side specification of a specific shoe, d. H. z. B. of a specific sports shoe, by comparing the geometrical-structural data of this particular shoe with geometrical-structural data of other shoes, for example other sports shoes, to generate or output a selection and / or recommendation of other shoes which, for example, are similar or identical geometrically - constructive properties, d.

B. generate or output a specific ski or tennis shoe which, for example, has similar or identical geometrical-constructive properties, d. H. in particular also has a similar or identical fit as the predetermined specific sports shoe.

Of course, in this context, the user can provide additional default data, ie, for example, shoe-related data, such as B. shoe size, weight, width, length, height, fit, date of manufacture, place of manufacture, conditions of manufacture, manufacturer, price, type of closure, etc., and / or wearer-related Data such as B. age, gender, weight, size, wearing behavior (e.g. frequency), etc., specify which further default data in the data processing device-side generation of a selection and / or recommendation of a last to be manufactured or manufactured on the basis of a device shoe to be manufactured or manufactured can be taken into account.

The data processing device can therefore be set up to process the data provided to it not only for generating corresponding insole data, but also for other purposes.

The data processing device can, for. B. also be set up to examine the data made available to it with regard to certain examination criteria. For this purpose, the data processing device can be equipped with appropriately configured examination algorithms.

For example, it is conceivable that the data processing device is set up to examine the raw foot data for the presence of at least one foot misalignment and to generate foot misalignment data describing the presence of at least one foot misalignment, possibly categorizable in certain foot misalignment categories. The data processing device can additionally be set up on the basis of corresponding foot misalignment data to generate the insole data. The additional consideration of corresponding foot misalignment data can increase the degree of customization of an insole that can be manufactured with the device. Corresponding foot misalignment data can be stored in the or a data storage device and used later, for example in connection with the production of insoles, but in principle also for other purposes.

In connection with corresponding raw foot data, the further processing of the data can also be a processing for generating a graphic image of the foot described by the raw foot data, which can be displayed on a display device.

In connection with corresponding raw foot data, the data processing device can also be set up to examine the raw foot data, in particular by means of image data processing or corresponding image processing algorithms, according to specific, in particular anatomical, features, preferably features indicating or indicating a misalignment of the foot, of the foot described by the raw foot data to generate foot feature data describing specific, in particular anatomical, features of the foot described by the raw foot data, possibly categorizable in certain foot typologies. The additional consideration of corresponding foot feature data can increase the degree of customization of the insoles that can be manufactured with the device. The data processing device can additionally be set up on the basis of corresponding foot feature data to generate the insole data. Corresponding foot feature data can be stored in the or a data storage device and used later, for example in connection with the production of insoles, but in principle also for other purposes.

The data processing device can also be set up to automatically display or represent a graphic image of the foot described by the raw foot data on the basis of recognized specific, in particular anatomical, features of the foot in an image space that can be displayed or displayed on a display device in a certain defined spatial orientation. A display or representation of the imaged foot which is useful for an assessment and / or assessment of the foot can therefore take place in an automated manner. For example, the image of the foot can be based on a recognized tip and / or heel of the foot in a particular orientation, i. H. z. B. in a plan view, side view, sole view, etc., displayed or represented.

In connection with the corresponding raw data, the further processing of the data can be B. to a processing for Generation of a graphic image of the last described by the raw last data, describing the last image data that can be displayed on a display device. The data processing device can accordingly be set up to generate, on the basis of the raw last data, a graphical image of the last described by the raw last data and which can be displayed on a display device. The last image data can describe a one- or multi-dimensional image of the last described by the raw last data. The data processing device can accordingly be equipped with data processing algorithms which enable a data conversion or conversion of corresponding raw last data into corresponding last image data.

In connection with corresponding raw last data, the data processing device can be set up to examine the raw data, in particular by means of image data processing or corresponding image processing algorithms, for specific, in particular geometric, features of the last described by the raw data and specific, in particular geometric, features of the last described by the raw data to generate descriptive, possibly categorizable in certain last typologies, last feature data. The additional consideration of corresponding last feature data can increase the degree of customization of the insoles that can be manufactured with the device. The data processing device can additionally be set up to generate the insole data on the basis of corresponding last feature data. Corresponding last feature data can be stored in the or a data storage device and used later, for example in connection with the production of insoles, but in principle also for other purposes.

The data processing device can also be set up to automatically display or represent a graphic image of the last described by the raw last data on the basis of recognized specific, in particular geometrical, features of the last, in an image space that can be displayed or displayed on a display device, in a certain defined spatial orientation. A display or representation of the last shown can therefore be carried out automatically for an assessment and / or assessment of the last. For example, the image of the last can be based on a recognized point and / or verse of the last in a particular orientation, i.e. H. z. B. in a plan view, side view, sole view, etc., displayed or represented.

The data processing device can also be set up, on the basis of raw foot data and raw last data, in particular on the basis of foot image data and last image data, an overlaid representation of the foot described by the raw foot data and the last described by the raw last data, in particular of the footprint data, which can be displayed or displayed on a display device described foot image and the last image described by the last image data. Consequently, raw foot data and raw last data or footprint data and last image data generated therefrom can be displayed in a superimposed display in order to identify, in particular by comparison, correspondences and / or differences in the spatial-physical geometry of the foot and a last. The recognition of corresponding matches and / or differences in the spatial-physical geometry of the foot and a last can in turn have a positive effect on the degree of customization of the manufacture of the insole. The data processing device can therefore be set up to generate the individually configured insole data on the basis of the superimposed display of the foot described by the raw foot data and the last described by the raw last data.

The data processing device can additionally be set up to generate a recommendation for a size of an insole size recommendation data describing the size of an insole to be manufactured by means of the device, in particular on the basis of raw foot data it provides and / or shoe interior data provided by it. The data processing device can therefore also be used on the basis of the data provided to it to determine the most optimal size or fit of an insole to be manufactured by means of the device; this can be particularly useful in the case of an initial production of an insole for a wearer.

It is also conceivable that the data processing device can additionally be set up to generate and output a recommendation for a specific shoe model or shoe type or shoe type recommendation data, in particular on the basis of raw foot data provided by it and / or shoe interior data provided by it . This can e.g. B. therefore be expedient than for certain feet or shoe interiors described by certain provided raw foot data and / or shoe interior data, a desired fit can only be achieved for certain shoe models or shoe types. This is especially true in connection with the use of a mediator the device to be manufactured insole in a shoe.

Furthermore, on the basis of raw foot data it has provided and / or shoe interior data provided by it and / or raw last data provided by it, in addition to the generation of individually configured last data which at least in sections relate to the morphology of the at least one foot described by the raw foot data and / or describe the geometric-structural design of an individually configured last that is to be additionally manufactured, adapted to the shoe interior described by the shoe interior data and / or to the basic geometric-structural design of at least one preconfigured last described by the raw last data. The data provided to the data processing device can therefore not only be used to manufacture one or more insoles, but also to manufacture one or more individually configured lasts. The or one of the manufacturing devices that can be assigned or assigned to the data processing device can therefore (also) be set up to manufacture one or more individually configured strips on the basis of corresponding, individually configured strip data.

1 shows a schematic diagram of a device 1 for manufacturing at least one individually configured insole 2 for a shoe according to an embodiment. In the embodiment according to 1 shown device 1 is therefore for manufacturing or manufacturing at least one individually configured insole 2 set up for a shoe. At one with the device 1 manufacturable or manufactured insole 2 it is an insole that can be inserted into a shoe or, when used as intended, is inserted into a shoe.

One with the device 1 manufacturable or manufactured insole 2 is configured individually with regard to a specific wearer, ie in particular with regard to a foot of a specific wearer. The one with the device 1 manufacturable or manufactured insole 2 is therefore designed in its geometrical-constructive properties and / or in its structural properties, ie in particular mechanical properties, at least in sections, in particular completely, with regard to a foot of a specific wearer. This can in particular include the formation of a footbed configured with respect to a foot of a wearer.

The device 1 comprises a data processing device implemented in hardware and / or software 3 as well as one of the data processing device 3 assigned manufacturing facility 4th . The data processing device 3 and the manufacturing facility 4th represent functional units of the device 1 represents which in operation of the device 1 for the production of an insole 2 work together.

The data processing device 3 which z. B. is designed as a computer, is based on this provided data for generating individually configured insole data 5 ("Insole data") set up. With appropriate data processing equipment 3 The data provided is raw data 6th which shows the morphology of at least one foot of a wearer by means of the device 1 insole to be manufactured 2 describe and / or shoe interior data 7th which is an interior of a shoe, in particular a shoe, in which the means of the device 1 insole to be manufactured 2 is to be inserted, describe, and / or raw data for the last 8th which describe the basic geometric and structural design of at least one preconfigured last.

The data processing device 3 generates the insole data 5 typically based on at least two of said data; consequently, the data processing device generates 3 the insole data 5 typically either based at least on raw foot data 6th and shoe interior data 7th or at least based on raw foot data 6th and raw last data 8th or at least based on shoe interior data 7th and raw last data 8th .

The data processing device 3 can, as follows, in addition to corresponding raw data 6th or corresponding shoe interior data 7th or corresponding raw last data 8th also other data when generating the corresponding insole data 5 consider.

The degree of the individual or individualized configuration by means of the device 1 manufacturable or to be manufactured insole 2 can be about the number and the information content of the data processing device 3 provided data are influenced. Typically, more data made available enables a higher degree of individualized configuration of a device by means of the device 1 manufacturable or to be manufactured insole 2 .

On the part of the data processing device 3 insole data that can be generated or generated 5 describe one at least in sections, possibly completely, of the morphology of the at least one through the raw foot data 6th described foot adapted geometrical-structural design of a means of the device 1 insole to be manufactured 2 and / or at least in sections, possibly completely, to the data provided by the shoe interior data 7th described shoe interior adapted geometrical-structural design of a means of the device 1 insole to be manufactured 2 and / or one at least in sections, possibly completely, to the raw data from the last 8th described geometrically basic structural design of at least one preconfigured last, adapted geometrical-structural design of a device by means of the device 1 insole to be manufactured 2 .

The data processing device 3 is therefore set up when generating the corresponding insole data 5 various the geometrical-constructive design or the structural properties of a means of the device 1 insole to be manufactured 2 influencing data, namely - in the form of raw data 6th the morphology of at least one foot of a wearer by means of the device 1 insole to be manufactured 2 descriptive data and / or in the form of the shoe interior data 7th - An interior of a shoe, in particular a shoe, in which one by means of the device 1 insole to be manufactured 2 is to be inserted, descriptive data and / or - in the form of the last raw data 8th - Data describing the basic geometric and structural design of at least one preconfigured strip 10 to consider. The consideration of corresponding data when generating the insole data 5 forms the basis for a (highly) customizable or (highly) individualized production of a device by means of the device 1 insole to be manufactured 2 represent.

The data processing device 3 is therefore set up on the basis of corresponding input data, ie corresponding raw data 6th and / or shoe interior data 7th and / or raw last data 8th , individually configured insole data 5 to produce, which is a (highly) customizable or (highly) individualized production of an individually configured insole to be manufactured 2 enable.

On the part of the data processing device 3 insole data that can be generated or generated 5 can be used in manufacturing or production data for the data processing device 3 assigned manufacturing facility 4th be convertible. However, it is also conceivable that the data processing device 3 insole data that can be generated or generated 5 (directly) as manufacturing or production data for the data processing device 3 assigned manufacturing facility 4th are usable.

That of the data processing device 3 assigned manufacturing facility 4th is for the production of an individually configured insole 2 set up based on the insole data. The manufacturing facility 4th is therefore to carry out at least one manufacturing process for manufacturing an insole 2 and thus for the actual production of an insole 2 furnished. By means of the manufacturing facility 4th The feasible manufacturing process typically includes a working and / or processing of at least one for manufacturing a respective insole 2 usable or used material or at least one for the production of a respective insole 2 usable or used material structure. The manufacturing facility 4th is therefore at least one for carrying out at least one machining and / or processing process for the production of a respective insole 2 usable or used material or at least one for the production of a respective insole 2 usable or used material structure set up.

By means of the manufacturing facility 4th can in particular additive (building up) or subtractive (removing) manufacturing processes for the actual manufacture of an insole 2 can be used. The manufacturing facility 4th can therefore specifically z. B. be designed as an additive manufacturing device and / or as a subtractive manufacturing device or comprise at least one such.

With regard to the highest possible degree of individualization by means of the device 1 manufacturable insole 2 additive manufacturing equipment comes in particular 4th , which has an additive structure of corresponding insoles 2 by layer-by-layer selective solidification of a layer-by-layer solidifiable, possibly powdery, building material - this can be e.g. B. be a metal or a plastic - enable by means of an energy beam, into consideration. In this context reference is made to binder jet devices, selective laser melting devices, laser sintering devices or stereolithography devices, etc. merely by way of example. As mentioned, however, other manufacturing processes can also be used to manufacture the insole 2 are applied so that the manufacturing facility 4th z. B. can also be designed as a subtractive manufacturing device, ie, for example, as a milling device.

An integrated design is also conceivable, so that the data processing device 3 z. B. in the manufacturing facility 4th is integrated or vice versa.

The device 1 can be one of the data processing device, in particular implemented in terms of hardware and / or software 3 and / or the manufacturing facility 4th assignable or assigned data storage device 9 include, which for at least temporary storage of raw foot data 6th which shows the morphology of at least one foot of a wearer by means of the device 1 individually configured insole to be manufactured 2 describe, and / or shoe interior data 7th , which an interior of a shoe, in particular a shoe, in which a mediates the device 1 Individually configured insole to be manufactured 2 is to be inserted, describe and / or raw last data 8th , which describe the basic geometric-structural design of at least one preconfigured last, and / or raw insole data, which describe the basic geometric-structural design of at least one preconfigured insole 2 describe, and / or insole data 5 , is set up. The corresponding data can be stored in the data storage device 9 , if necessary according to certain categories, such as B. dimensions, material, carrier, etc., categorized, stored even over a longer period of time, possibly even permanently, so that these can be accessed when an insole is manufactured again 2 z. B. for a specific wearer and / or a specific shoe at least partially, if necessary completely, can be used. Such can be the effort to collect new data, based on which an insole 2 should be manufactured, be reduced.

The device 1 can also one of the data processing device 3 assignable or assigned, in particular hardware and / or software implemented, raw data recording device 11 comprise, which are for recording the morphology of at least one foot of a wearer by means of the device 1 insole to be manufactured 2 descriptive raw data 6th is set up.

A corresponding foot raw data recording device 11 can e.g. B. as a, in particular mechanical or optical, recording device 12 , which for recording one or more dimensional the morphology of at least one foot of a wearer by means of the device 1 insole to be manufactured 2 descriptive raw data 6th is set up, be trained. A mechanical recording device can, for.

In this way it is possible to record or record corresponding raw foot data 6th at a different location than the processing of raw foot data 6th perform. Such can improve the ease of use of the device 1 can be improved than the corresponding raw data 6th in principle recorded or recorded everywhere and sent to the data processing device in terms of data 3 can be transferred. Of course, it is also conceivable that corresponding raw data 6th the data processing device 3 , e.g. B. by user inputs, can also be supplied manually. The data processing device can therefore 3 by a user input z. B. Dimensions, such. B. a length, width, height, etc., of a foot can be fed manually. The data processing device 3 in this case includes a suitable user interface (not shown) which enables a corresponding user-side input.

A corresponding foot raw data recording device 11 does not have to be a structural part of the data processing facility 3 form. It is therefore also conceivable that the raw foot data recording device 11 z. B. in a user-side terminal, in particular in a mobile or portable user-side terminal, preferably in a smartphone, tablet, laptop, is integrated. The recording of the corresponding raw foot data 6th A corresponding user-side terminal can therefore also be used (exclusively) on the user side, if necessary; this can affect the practicability or manageability of the device 1 in connection with the collection of relevant data. A user-side terminal can, however, e.g. B. in the form of a stationary scanner, also be designed as an immobile or stationary device; such can z. B. be installed in an orthopedic shop.

The device 1 can furthermore at least one of the data processing devices 3 assignable or assigned, in particular hardware and / or software implemented, raw data recording device 13 include, which are used to record the basic geometric and structural design of a preconfigured last that describes the raw data of the last 8th is set up.

A corresponding raw data recording device for the last 13 can e.g. B. as a, in particular mechanical or optical, recording device 14th , in particular a scanning device, which is used to record one-dimensional or multi-dimensional raw data describing the basic geometric and structural design of a preconfigured last 8th is set up, be trained. A mechanical recording device 14th can in particular be set up to create a groin impression. An optical pickup device 14th can e.g. B. be designed as a camera device or scanning device, in particular groin scanning device. In all cases it is also conceivable that a corresponding raw last data recording device 13 is designed as a recording or detection device for, in particular mechanical and / or optical, recording or recording of one- or multi-dimensional dimensions, ie, for example, length, width, height, circumference, volume, of a last.

A corresponding raw data recording device for the last 13 can via a through the between this and the data processing device 3 global or local wired or wireless, possibly encrypted, data or communication connection with the data processing device 3 , in particular for the transmission of data by means of the raw data recording device 13 recorded raw last data 8th to the data processing device 3 , connectable or connected. In this way it is possible to record or record corresponding raw data for the last 8th in a different place than the processing of the raw last data 8th perform. Such can improve the ease of use of the device 1 can be improved than corresponding raw last data 8th in principle recorded or recorded everywhere and sent to the data processing device in terms of data 3 can be transferred. Of course, it is also conceivable that corresponding raw last data 8th the data processing device 3 , e.g. B. by user inputs, can also be supplied manually. The data processing device can therefore 3 by a user input z. B. Dimensions, such. B. a length, width, height, etc., of a strip can be fed manually. The data processing device 3 in this case includes a suitable user interface (not shown) which enables a corresponding user-side input.

A corresponding raw data recording device for the last 13 does not have to be a structural part of the data processing facility 3 form. It is therefore also conceivable that the last raw data recording device 13 z. B. in a user-side terminal, in particular in a mobile or portable user-side terminal, preferably in a smartphone, tablet, laptop, is integrated. The recording of the corresponding raw data for the last 8th A corresponding user-side terminal can therefore also be used (exclusively) on the user side, if necessary; this can affect the practicability or manageability of the device 1 in connection with the collection of relevant data. A user-side terminal can, however, e.g. B. in the form of a stationary scanner, also be designed as an immobile or stationary device; such can z. B. be installed in an orthopedic shop.

The device 1 can also one of the data processing device 3 assignable or assigned, in particular hardware and / or software implemented, shoe interior data recording device 26th include, which are for recording shoe interior data 7th which is an interior space of a shoe, in particular a shoe, in which one by means of the device 1 Individually configured insole to be manufactured 2 is inserted, is set up. In connection with the shoe interior data recording device 26th The statements in connection with the raw foot data recording device apply 11 or the last raw data recording device 13 analog, the shoe interior data recording device 26th can therefore z. B. as a, in particular mechanical or optical, recording device 27 , in particular a scanning device, which is used to record one-dimensional or multi-dimensional shoe interior data describing the basic geometric and structural design of a shoe interior 7th is set up, be trained.

It was mentioned that the data processing facility 3 next to the raw data 6th , the shoe interior data 7th and the raw data of the last 8th also further the properties of an insole to be manufactured 2 relevant data when generating corresponding insole data 5 can take into account.

Corresponding further data include, for example, raw shoe data 15th which shows the basic geometric and structural design of a shoe, in particular a specific shoe model, and / or the material of a shoe, in particular a specific shoe model, in which one is made by means of the device 1 to be manufactured or manufactured insole 2 is to be inserted, describe. The data processing device 3 can therefore also be based on raw shoe data 15th to generate the individually configured insole data 5 be set up.

Corresponding further data alternatively or additionally include z. B. default data that can be specified individually for each carrier 16 . Corresponding default data 16 can e.g. B. a carrier-specific Predeterminable fit of a shoe in which one by means of the device 1 to be manufactured or manufactured insole 2 is to be inserted, and / or a wearer-individually specifiable application or use of a certain shoe of a wearer, and / or a wearer-individually specifiable application or use of a shoe, in which one by means of the device 1 to be manufactured or manufactured insole 2 is to be inserted, and / or relate to a foot misalignment that can be specified individually for the wearer or to such a relevant medical indication. The data processing device 3 can therefore also be based on default data that can be specified individually for each carrier 16 to generate the insole data 5 be set up.

If corresponding default data 16 a specific application or use of a shoe, such as B. describe a sports shoe for a specific application or use of a wearer, the data processing device 3 be set up on the basis of this and possibly other default data 16 a shoe in which one by means of the device 1 to be manufactured or manufactured insole 2 is to be inserted, for the same or a different application or use, ie e.g. another sports shoe, a classic lace-up shoe, etc., to be selected and issued.

It is therefore possible as the data processing device 3 can be set up, various data, ie, for example, geometrical-constructive data, from a large number of shoes (shoe data) to each other with regard to at least one, z. B. by means of appropriate default data definable or defined, comparison criterion with each other or with each other. Corresponding shoe data can be stored in a database implemented in hardware and / or software, to which the data processing device can access 3 Has access.

So it is z. B. conceivable that the data processing device 3 based on user-specified data, such as B. a user-side specification of a certain shoe, ie a certain sports shoe, by comparing the geometrical-constructive data of this particular shoe with geometrical-constructive data of other shoes, such as other sports shoes, a selection and / or recommendation of other shoes to generate or that, for example, have similar or identical geometrical-structural properties, ie in particular also a similar or identical fit, as the specific shoe specified by the user.

Specifically, a user can through corresponding default data 16 z. B. a sports shoe for a specific application or use, ie for example a specific soccer shoe, and the data processing device a selection and / or recommendation of at least one shoe for at least one other application or use, ie for example a specific ski or tennis shoe , generate or output which, for example, has similar or identical geometrical-constructive properties, that is to say in particular also a similar or identical fit, as the predetermined specific sports shoe.

Of course, in this context, the user can provide additional default data, ie, for example, shoe-related data, such as B. shoe size, weight, width, length, height, fit, date of manufacture, place of manufacture, conditions of manufacture, manufacturer, price, type of closure, etc., and / or wearer-related data, such as. B. age, gender, weight, size, wearing behavior (z. B. frequency), etc., specify which further default data in the data processing device-side generation of a selection and / or recommendation based on a means of the device 1 shoe to be manufactured or manufactured last can be taken into account.

The output of the aforementioned data can e.g. B. acoustically and / or visually, via one of the data processing device 3 assignable or assigned, e.g. B. one or more acoustic and / or optical output elements comprehensive output device take place. Corresponding output elements can, for. B. be designed as speakers, displays, etc. Corresponding output elements can be part of a user-side, in particular mobile, terminal, such as. B. a cell phone, smartphone, tablet, laptop, television, etc.

The data processing device 3 can be set up not to use the data provided solely to generate the corresponding insole data 5 , but also to be processed in other ways.

The data processing device 3 can therefore z. B. be set up to examine the data provided to it with regard to certain examination criteria. The data processing device 3 can be equipped for this with appropriately configured examination algorithms.

For example, it is conceivable that the data processing device 3 is set up, the raw foot data 6th to examine the presence of at least one foot deformity and foot deformity data describing the presence of at least one foot deformity, possibly categorizable into certain foot deformity categories 17th to create. The data processing device 3 can also use Based on corresponding foot misalignment data 17th to generate the insole data 5 be set up. The additional consideration of corresponding foot misalignment data 17th can increase the degree of customization with the device 1 manufacturable insole 2 increase. Corresponding foot misalignment data 17th can be in the or a data storage device 9 and later, for example in connection with the production of insoles 2 , but also for other purposes.

In connection with corresponding raw foot data 6th can it be like in 2 shown by way of example, in the further processing of the data also to a processing for the generation of a graphic image of the raw foot data 6th described foot descriptive, on a display device 18th viewable footprint data 19th act. The data processing device 3 can therefore be set up on the basis of the raw foot data 6th a graphical representation of the raw foot data 6th described foot descriptive, on a display device 18th viewable footprint data 19th to create. The footprint data 19th can be a one- or multi-dimensional image of the raw data provided by the foot 6th described foot. The data processing device 3 can therefore be equipped with data processing algorithms, which a data conversion or conversion of corresponding raw data 6th in corresponding footprint data 19th enable.

In connection with corresponding raw foot data 6th can the data processing device 3 also be set up, the raw foot data 6th , in particular by means of image data processing or corresponding image processing algorithms, according to specific, in particular anatomical, features, preferably features indicating or indicating a foot misalignment of the foot, of the raw foot data 6th to examine the described foot and specific, in particular anatomical, features of the raw data of the foot 6th foot characteristic data describing the described foot, possibly categorizable into certain foot typologies 20th to create. The additional consideration of corresponding foot characteristic data 20th can increase the degree of customization with the device 1 manufacturable insoles 2 increase. The data processing device 3 can also be based on corresponding foot feature data 20th to generate the insole data 5 be set up. Corresponding foot feature data 20th can be in the or a data storage device 9 and later, for example in connection with the production of insoles 2 , but also for other purposes.

The data processing device 3 can also be set up a graphical image of the raw foot data 6th described foot on the basis of recognized specific, in particular anatomical, features of the foot, in a display device 18th displayable or displayed image space automatically to display or to represent in a certain defined spatial orientation. A display or representation of the imaged foot which is useful for an assessment and / or assessment of the foot can therefore take place in an automated manner. For example, the image of the foot can be displayed or represented on the basis of a recognized tip and / or heel of the foot in a particular orientation, ie, for example, in a top view, side view, sole view, etc.

In connection with the corresponding raw data of the last 8th it may be during the further processing of the data z. B. a processing for the generation of a graphic image of the raw data from the strips 8th described last descriptive, on a display device 18th displayable bar mapping data 21st act. The data processing device 3 can therefore be set up on the basis of the raw data of the last 8th a graphic representation of the raw data provided by the last 8th described last descriptive, on a display device 18th displayable bar mapping data 21st to create. The slat image data 21st can be a one- or multi-dimensional image of the raw data provided by the last 8th describe the last described. The data processing device 3 can therefore be equipped with data processing algorithms, which implement a data implementation or conversion of corresponding raw last data 8th in corresponding strip image data 21st enable.

In connection with the corresponding raw data of the last 8th can the data processing device 3 be set up, the last raw data 8th , in particular by means of image data processing or corresponding image processing algorithms, according to specific, in particular geometric, features of the raw data from the last 8th To examine the last described and specific, in particular geometric, features of the raw data of the last 8th Last describing last, possibly categorizable in certain last typologies, last feature data 22nd to create. The additional consideration of corresponding bar feature data 22nd can increase the degree of customization with the device 1 manufacturable insoles 2 increase. The data processing device 3 can also be based on corresponding bar feature data 22nd to generate the insole data 5 be set up. Corresponding last feature data 22nd can in the data storage facility 9 saved and later, for example in connection with the manufacture of insoles 2 , but also for other purposes.
