Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a shoe with a sound generation device.

(Problems to be solved by conventional techniques and inventions) To make jogging, etc., more enjoyable if, for example, it is possible to generate sounds such as "ichi" and "ni" in accordance with the pace. will be possible.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned demands, and an object of the present invention is to provide shoes with a sound generating device that allow the user to enjoy jogging and the like.

(Means for Solving the Problems) Shoes with a sound generator according to this invention include a switch that is provided on the sole of one shoe and opens and closes in response to tread pressure, and a memory that stores at least one pair of different sound signals. , a speaker for outputting sound, and a speaker for reading out one of the pair of audio signals from the memory in response to the closing action of the switch and outputting the sound from the speaker; The gist is to include a control means for reading out the other of the pair of audio signals from the memory and outputting the audio from the speaker.

(Function) According to the shoes with the sound generating device according to this invention,
It can generate different sounds in sync with the pace of the left and right shoes, making jogging and other activities more enjoyable.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of this invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

1 and 2 show a shoe with a sound generating device according to an embodiment of the invention, FIG. 1 is a side view of the shoe with main parts seen through, and FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the sound generating device. .

In the drawings, reference numeral 1 indicates a shoe, and reference numeral 2 indicates a sound generating device provided in the shoe 1. The sound generating device 2 is provided in one shoe 1 of a pair of left and right shoes, and includes a switch means 4 and a main body 5 buried in the sole 3, and a speaker 6 and a selection switch fixed to the side of the shoe 1. Contains 7. Note that the sound generating device 2 is connected to the sole 3 of the shoe.
It is powered by a battery (not shown) buried inside.

The main body 5 includes a control means 8 including a so-called microcomputer, a plurality of memories M1 to M3, and a driving means 9, as shown in FIG. In the memory M1, an audio signal corresponding to the spoken word "ichi" is stored.
A voice signal corresponding to the phonetic word "ni" is stored in advance in the memory M2, and a voice signal corresponding to the phonetic word "run-run" is stored in the memory M3. The control means 8 is given signals from the switch means 4 and the selection switch 7, and in response to these signals, the control means 8 reads the audio signals from each of the memories M1 to M3, and outputs them via the drive means 9 and the speaker 6. Output each of the audio words.

Hereinafter, the operation of the sound generating device 2 in accordance with the switching operation of the selection switch 6 will be described in detail.

First, when the selection switch 7 is brought into conduction with the contact point 7a, when a tread force is applied to the sole 3, the switch means 4 detects the tread force. The switch means 4 is a so-called pressure switch, and is brought into a conductive and closed state when a pedal pressure is detected, whereby a high level signal is given to the control means 8. In response to the rise of this high level signal, the control means 8 controls the memory M
The audio signal corresponding to the spoken word "ichi" is read out from the speaker 6 through the drive means 9, and the spoken word "ichi" is outputted from the speaker 6.

Subsequently, when the tread force on the sole 3 is released, that is, when the tread force is applied to the sole of the other shoe (not shown), the switch means 4 is brought into the cutoff (closed) state. As a result, the high level signal given to the control means 8 by the switch means 4 becomes low level, and in response to the rise of this signal, the control means 8 outputs the voice corresponding to the phonetic word "ni" from the memory M2. The signal is read out, and the spoken word "ni" is output from the speaker 6 via the driving means 9. In this way, when the selection switch 7 is electrically connected to the contact point 7a, by detecting the change in the treading force of the sole 3 of one shoe 1, different phonetic words ""1" and "2" are output from the speaker 6.

Next, when the selection switch 7 is electrically connected to the contact point 7b, when tread pressure is applied to the sole 3,
Similar to the embodiment A described above, the control means 8 is given a high level signal from the switch means 4, and in response to the rise of this signal, the control means 7
The audio signal corresponding to the spoken word "Run Run" is read out from the speaker 6, and the spoken word "Run Run" is output from the speaker 6. Subsequently, when the treading force on the sole 3 is released, the switch means 4 is activated in the same way as in the above-mentioned mode A.
In response to the fall of the signal from , the control means 7 again reads out the audio signal corresponding to the audio word "run-run" from the memory M3, and outputs the audio signal from the speaker 5 in synchronization with the pace with the audio word "run-run". Re-output.

Further, as another embodiment of the present invention, only the switch means 4 is buried in the sole 3, and the remaining sound generating device components are made into a unit independent of the shoe 1, and this unit and the switch means 4 are connected by a lead wire. The connection may be made removable via the connector. In this case, a single sound generating device can be used for multiple pairs of shoes.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, according to the shoes with the sound generating device according to the invention, different sounds can be generated in synchronization with the pace of the user's steps, and jogging or the like can be enjoyed.

Claims (1)

[Scope of Claim for Utility Model Registration] A switch provided on the sole of one shoe that opens and closes in response to tread pressure, a memory that stores at least a pair of different audio signals, a speaker that outputs audio, and a switch that opens and closes the switch in accordance with the pedal pressure. In response to the opening operation of the switch, one of the pair of audio signals is read out from the memory and the audio is outputted from the speaker, and in response to the opening activation of the switch, the other of the pair of audio signals is read out from the memory and the audio signal is outputted from the speaker. Shoes with a sound generating device, characterized in that they are provided with a control means for outputting sound from the speaker.
