Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain multiple function such as playing a melody, producing various tone colors and notifying the measured result of set quantity by tones, etc., by providing a performance device or sounding body, warning device, phisical quantity measuring instrument, arithmetic unit, display unit and battery, etc., in foot wear. CONSTITUTION:As the action of a circuit provided in the footwear, pressure sensitive sensor, humidity sensor and capacity sensor, etc., are added to the electric sounding or performance device and according to the change, etc., of a resistance value by sensing the increase or decrease of sensed pressure, sensed humidity and capacity, the change is set in a programmable manner in advance directly or through operation. Otherwise, when a state is coincident with a condition set by a user, a tone, sound or piece of music is generated or displayed. For example, When a humidity sensor 3 senses the humidity, the resistance value is fluctuated and when the state is coincident with the condition set in the performance device, the play is controlled. A volume 4 is inserted serially with the sensor to apply an offset value to the resistance value of the sensor in advance.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to footwear and toy sports equipment having functions equivalent to footwear, and particularly to the structure thereof.

[Summary of the Invention] The present invention relates to the structure of footwear and toy sports equipment having the same function as footwear.

In the past, footwear that made noise was one in which compressed air was blown out of a bellows-shaped container by the weight of the wearer, making a whistle, but due to the structure, the sound produced was limited.
It also has the disadvantage that it is easy for children, who are the main users of it, to get tired of it. By incorporating a power source and an electric circuit into the footwear, the present invention provides a wide variety of functions.In addition to the conventional sound effects, the present invention can also be used to play melodies, measure physical quantities, and for medical purposes. This expands the uses and benefits of footwear, such as the use of

[Prior Art] Conventional footwear does not perform the original function of footwear, except for footwear designed for children who are just starting to walk, in which compressed air is released from a bellows-shaped container and makes a whistle when the weight of the wearer is applied. Other than that, I don't see any multifunctionality that goes beyond being a fashion tool.

In addition, whistles with a structure that played were simple and repeated sounds, making them easy to get tired of, and their use was limited to a very limited number of generations.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In order to dramatically expand the uses of such footwear, the present invention not only repeats simple sounds and fulfills the original functions of footwear, but also creates melodies and various tones. The purpose of the present invention is to provide multifunctionality such as measuring a physical quantity using a sensor and notifying the user by sound, music, display, words, etc. after measuring a preset quantity.

[Means for solving the problem] A melody playing device using electrical means, or a sounding device and an alarm device, a physical quantity measuring device, an arithmetic device such as a microcomputer, a display unit, a battery, etc. are carried in the footwear while walking. The above purpose is achieved by measuring physical quantities that change depending on actions, or by calculating measured values, producing sounds, playing, and displaying them.

[For explosives] The function of the circuit is to add a pressure sensor, humidity sensor, capacitance sensor, etc. to the electric sound generation or performance device, and change the resistance value by sensing pressure, humidity, and increase/decrease in capacitance.
Either directly, or by calculating the change and presetting it in a programmatic manner, or generating or displaying sound, voice, or music when conditions set by the user are met.

[Example] The present invention will be explained based on examples.

FIG. 1 is a circuit diagram showing a first embodiment of the structure of footwear of the present invention.

This is a general melody playing device with a humidity sensor added.

When the humidity sensor 6 senses humidity, the resistance value changes, and when the condition setting in the performance device 1 is met, the performance is controlled. 4 is a volume inserted in series with the sensor, which gives an offset value to the resistance value of the sensor in advance.

FIG. 2 is a plan view and a side view of an assembled drawing showing a first embodiment of the structure of the footwear of the present invention.

This is the basic set (main body) of this invention, and includes the electronic components shown in FIG. 1 in a compact manner, and has a structure that allows it to be incorporated into shoes.

FIG. 3 is a side view showing a second embodiment of the structure of the footwear of the present invention. The figure shows an example of the unit of the present invention installed in Srinopa. It has a built-in pronunciation unit, display unit, etc.

Figure 2: The basic cent sensor is replaced with a pressure sensor and a liquid crystal display panel is added. The change in pressure caused by a person's walking is counted, doubled, and displayed, and when a predetermined number of steps has been reached, a notification is made with sound or music. It is also possible to have several levels of sound as part of the variety of the set.

FIG. 4 is a plan view showing a third embodiment of the horizontal construction of the footwear of the present invention. The figure shows a shoe incorporating the unit. It has built-in sensors for humidity measurement, temperature measurement, pressure measurement, etc.

This is something similar to a basic set, but a humidity sensor is embedded inside the shoe and assembled near the surface where humidity can be measured. When the humidity inside the shoes exceeds a predetermined value, a sound or music is played as an alarm to notify the user. If the structure is similar to that shown in Figure 5, the humidity inside the shoes can be adjusted as needed.
Or it can be displayed all the time.

FIG. 5 is a plan view showing a fourth embodiment of the structure of the footwear of the present invention. The figure shows a Uninote with multiple sensors installed. It can be used for multifunctional purposes such as measuring differences depending on location and combining sensors with multiple functions.

Pressure sensors are placed in appropriate locations and are used for purposes such as constantly reminding people to walk in a medically correct manner.

Each pressure is measured and, according to a preset program, music or sound is emitted as a warning if the robot is walking incorrectly. Or guide the correct walking with voice.

[Effects of the Invention] With the exception of a few sandals for children, the structure of conventional footwear has been limited to its function as footwear and as a tool to appeal to fans. By doing so, you can actively enjoy walking through footwear,
It can provide many fields of use associated with walking, such as performing medical actions through constant walking and collecting necessary data during daily walking.
