For example, the control unit 21, the communication unit 23, the storage unit 25, and the power supply unit 26 may be provided in the upper unit 11, and the sensor unit 22 and the generation unit 24 may be provided in the bottom 12. In this case, the member in the upper portion 11 and the member in the bottom portion 12 may be connected by a terminal (for example, a USB terminal), or may be communicated wirelessly by further providing a communication member in the bottom portion 12.

  Here, the function of the external device A using the information from the footwear 1 will be described.

  In the external device A, information obtained by the footwear 1 transmitted from the transmission unit 23a of the footwear 1 is processed and stored. As processing in the external device A, the external device A can analyze and analyze the transmitted information. For example, it is possible to analyze and analyze how the wearer of the footwear 1 walks based on the movement information of the footwear 1. Moreover, the information obtained by the footwear 1 of a specific wearer can be stored, and changes in the stored information can be analyzed and analyzed.

  By detecting the information obtained by the footwear 1 by the sensor unit 22 and transmitting the information to the external device A by the transmission unit 23a, the processing and storage in the external device A becomes possible, and the processing result and the memory are stored. Feedback to the wearer based on the information. For example, walking guidance, rehabilitation guidance, health guidance, and the like can be performed based on processing results in the external device A and stored information.

  Further, information obtained from the footwear 1 of the model person is detected by the sensor unit 22 and transmitted to the external apparatus A by the transmission unit 23a, thereby storing the model information in the external apparatus A. be able to. Furthermore, the stored example information can be learned and stored by machine learning or the like. The information serving as these examples may be not only information by the footwear 1 but also information acquired through the network N.

  This makes it possible to make a determination by comparing the model information or learned information with the wearer information detected in the footwear 1.

  In the external device A, the information received from the transmission unit 23a is associated with the information received or stored in the external device A, whereby a signal received by the reception unit 23b of the footwear 1 is generated. Specifically, these pieces of information are processed and parameterized by the external device A. The external device A stores correspondence information or a function for generating a signal for generating an effect from the correspondence relationship between the parameter of the motion information and the parameter of the stored information. The correspondence information or the function Is used to generate a signal. Based on this parameter, a signal for generating the effect (light, sound, vibration, etc.) of the generating unit 24 of the footwear 1 is generated. At this time, the contribution ratio of each parameter in signal generation can be changed automatically or manually in the external device A. Information received or stored in the external device A can include sound, music, and image information, and information that serves as a model.

  An effect is generated in the generation unit 24 by a signal generated by associating information obtained by the footwear 1 with information received or stored in the external device A. Information on footwear 1 can be obtained with the five senses. For example, when the generating unit 24 shines based on the movement information of the footwear 1 and the sound information received by the external device A, the wearer and the surrounding persons wear the footwear 1 and move. In this state, it is possible to enjoy the light effect of the footwear 1 by the information on the movement of the footwear 1 and the information on the sound.

  Further, an effect is generated in the generation unit 24 by a signal generated by associating information obtained by the footwear 1 with information received or stored in the external device A, so that the wearer and the surrounding people can With respect to the relationship between the information on one movement and the information received or stored in the external device A, information can be obtained from the footwear 1 with five senses. For example, when the generating unit 24 shines based on the movement information of the footwear 1 and the movement information serving as a model stored in the external device A, the wearer and the surrounding person wear the footwear 1. In addition, it is possible to know whether or not the movement of the wearer's footwear 1 is the same as the movement that serves as a model while still moving.

  Furthermore, the function of the external device A described above can be performed independently in the footwear 1 without using the external device A. That is, the footwear 1 may have the configuration of the external device A.

  In this case, the control unit 21 can parameterize information obtained from the footwear 1. The storage unit 25 stores correspondence information or a function for generating a signal for generating an effect from the correspondence relationship between the information parameter and the stored information parameter. The correspondence information or function can be used to generate a signal.

  The signal generated in the control unit 21 is a control signal for generating an effect (light, sound, vibration, etc.) of the generation unit 24 of the footwear 1. At this time, the contribution ratio of each parameter in the signal generation can be set so as to be changed automatically or to be a fixed value. This setting can be performed before using the footwear 1 or by information or a signal from the external device A received by the receiving unit 23b.

  As a result, the footwear 1 can generate an effect in the generating unit 24 by the information obtained by the footwear 1 without using the external device A. Thereby, the wearer and the surrounding people can obtain the information obtained by the footwear 1 with the five senses without using the external device A.

  Thereby, for example, the light generated in the generating unit 24 can be changed in accordance with the change in the movement of the footwear 1, and even if the transmission and reception with the external device A is impossible, the light in the footwear 1 can be changed. Production can be performed.

  Thereby, for example, when the temperature of the footwear 1 becomes a certain value or more, a sound can be generated in the generating unit 24, and even if there is no external device A, a warning is issued to the wearer. be able to.

  In addition, the control unit 21 determines and determines the information obtained by the footwear 1 detected by the sensor unit 22 by comparing the information obtained by the model or the learned information stored in the storage unit 25. The result can be parameterized. The storage unit 25 stores correspondence information or a function for generating a signal for generating an effect on the parameter of the determination result, and the control unit 21 generates a signal using the correspondence information or the function. be able to. The signal generated in the control unit 21 is a control signal for generating an effect (light, sound, vibration, etc.) of the generation unit 24 of the footwear 1.

  As a result, the footwear 1 can generate an effect in the generating unit 24 on the determination result of the information obtained by the footwear 1 without using the external device A. Thus, the wearer and those around him can obtain the determination result of the information obtained by the footwear 1 with the five senses without using the external device A.

  Therefore, when the effect is generated in the generation unit 24 based on the determination result of the information obtained by the footwear 1, the wearer and the persons around the wearer can move while the wearer is wearing the footwear 1. Guidance such as walking guidance and rehabilitation guidance can be performed, or health management such as weight management and temperature management can be performed.

When the control unit 21 determines in STEP 2002 that the signal for generating the effect is not received from the external device A by the generation unit 24 (No), the process proceeds to STEP 2004. In STEP 2003, the control unit 21 generates an effect in the generation unit 24 based on the received signal, and proceeds to STEP 2004. In STEP 2004, when the power of the power supply unit 26 is turned off (Yes), this process ends. In STEP 2004, when the power supply unit 26 is not turned off (No), the process returns to STEP 2002.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating an example of part of the processing in the control unit 21.

  In STEP 3001, when the control unit 21 determines that the information obtained by the footwear 1 is detected in the sensor unit 22 (Yes), the process proceeds to STEP 3002. In STEP 3001, when the control unit 21 determines that the information obtained by the footwear 1 is not detected in the sensor unit 22 (No), the control unit 21 proceeds to STEP 3006. In STEP 3002, the control unit 21 stores information obtained by the footwear 1 detected by the sensor unit 22 in the storage unit 25, and proceeds to STEP 3003.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of footwear 101 that is an embodiment of footwear 1. The footwear 101 is a sneaker having an upper portion 111 and a bottom portion 112, and a part 112 a of the bottom portion is detachable from the footwear 101. A sensor part 122 that detects information obtained from the footwear 101 is provided inside the bottom part 112a.

  By providing the sensor part 122 on the part 112a of the detachable bottom part, the sensor part 122 can be easily taken out, the sensor part 122 can be easily replaced and repaired, and fashionability and usability Can be improved. Thereby, for example, the sensor used as the sensor unit 122 for the same footwear 101 can be appropriately changed from an acceleration sensor to a gravity sensor. In addition, for example, the same sensor unit 122 can be easily changed to the footwear 101 having a different appearance.

  In addition, as in Patent Document 3, in a configuration in which only the sensor unit is removable, the sensor unit is always exposed to the outside of the footwear, and the sensor unit may be detached while the footwear is worn, Further, it can be said that the sensor unit may directly contact an external object and break down. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 7, by making the bottom portion 112a provided with the sensor portion 122 removable, it is possible to eliminate the need for the sensor portion 122 to be exposed in the footwear 101, and to wear the footwear 101. It is possible to reduce the possibility that the sensor unit 122 is detached while the sensor unit 122 is in direct contact with an external object and breaks down.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 7, while making a part 112a of the bottom part in which the sensor part 122 is provided detachable from the bottom part 112, the bottom part 112 is hard enough not to be broken by human weight and soft enough to be removed. By using a flexible material, for example, a resin material, the sensor unit 122 can be protected. Further, when the space 110 provided in the bottom portion 112 and the bottom portion 112a have substantially the same size, due to the flexibility, the bottom portion 112a and the sensor portion 122 are attached when the bottom portion 112a is mounted. Can be firmly fixed to the bottom 112, and the sensing accuracy can be further improved.
