People may look different in their individual walk, and depending on how they walk, the impact on their body (eg, knee or vertebrae) may be different. In addition, athletes need to analyze their weight distribution on foot to accurately analyze their posture. The gait diagnostic shoe 150 may store and store information about the user's gait for the above analysis.

The gait diagnostic shoe 150 may include a shoe 120, an insole 110, and a bottom 140 of the shoe, as shown in FIG. 2, and the user's gait information may be applied from the user ' The first data transmission / reception unit 112, the battery 113, the control unit 114, the memory 116, and the wireless power reception unit 117 are controlled based on the walking And may be provided in the insole 110 of the hook diagnosis shoe 150. 3, the insole 110 includes a lower plate 118, an upper plate 119 opposed to the lower plate 118, and a filler member for filling between the lower plate 118 and the upper plate 119. [ And the gait diagnosis unit 111 and the wireless power receiving unit 117 may be disposed in the filling member 121. [ The central module 115 may be coupled to the gait diagnosis unit 111. The first data transmission / reception unit 112, the battery 113, the control unit 114, and the memory 116 may be combined to form the central module 115, And the wireless power receiving unit 117, as shown in FIG.

The gait diagnosis unit 111 can convert the pressure into an electrical signal and convert it into data. For example, the gait diagnosis unit 111 may include a pressure sensor having a piezoelectric element that generates a current when a pressure is applied. As shown in FIG. 3, the gait diagnosis unit 111 can be uniformly distributed on the entire surface of the insole 110, and can precisely measure the pressure of each part of the user's sole. Since the specific configuration of the gait diagnosis unit 111 is described in detail in Korean Patent No. 10-1191800 of the applicant, the contents thereof are incorporated herein as a whole.

The memory 116 may store the gait data FD generated by the gait diagnosis unit 111. [ In one embodiment, the memory 116 may store the gait data FD in chronological order. The stored gait data (FDs) in time order can be used to analyze various information regarding the user's gait. For example, it is possible to calculate the user's gait speed from the time difference between consecutive footprints, and analyze the user's gait pattern by analyzing the pressure distribution of the sole region. The memory 116 can store the analog type gait data FD into a digital signal and store it. The memory 116 may include, for example, a static random access memory (SRAM), a dynamic random access memory (DRAM), a magnetic random access memory (MRAM), a ferroelectrics random access memory (FRAM)

The battery 113 can supply power to the gait diagnosis unit 111 and the memory 116. [ The battery 113 may be a rechargeable secondary battery. For example, the battery 113 may be a nickel-cadmium battery, a nickel-hydrogen battery, or a lithium battery. However, the type of the battery 113 is not limited thereto.

The wireless power receiving unit 117 can charge the battery 113 based on the continuous power signal CP. The wireless power receiving unit 117 may receive a wireless power signal in the form of, for example, an electromagnetic wave. In this case, in order to charge the battery 113 of the gait diagnostic shoe 150, the battery 113 does not need to be connected to a separate power plug or be separated, and the gait diagnostic shoe 150 may be connected to the gait diagnostic shoe 150 And can be automatically charged only by being stored in the storage box 130. The wireless power signal can be divided into a continuous power signal (CP) and a periodic power signal (SP). The wireless power receiving unit 117 can receive both the continuous power signal CP and the periodic power signal SP and can charge the battery 113 based on the continuous power signal CP. The wireless power receiving unit 117 may include a first receiving coil for receiving a wireless power signal in the form of an electromagnetic wave, and may include a converter for converting the received wireless power signal into a direct current or a direct current voltage. The wireless power receiving unit 117 can generate the charging progress signal CS or the charging completion signal AS based on the periodic power signal SP. The wireless power receiving unit 117 can determine whether or not the battery 113 needs to be charged. For example, when the charging of the battery 113 is completed, the wireless power receiving unit 117 may generate the charging completion signal AS to prevent waste of electric power. In addition, when the battery 113 is required to be charged, the charging progress signal CS can be generated. The charging completion signal AS and the charging progress signal CS may each be an electromagnetic wave type signal. Accordingly, the wireless power receiving unit 117 may further include a first transmitting coil capable of transmitting the charging completion signal AS and the charging progress signal CS.

In one embodiment, the wireless power receiving unit 117 may delay the charging progress signal CS or the charging completion signal AS by a predetermined delay time. The gait diagnostic shoe 150 can be stored at the same time in the gait diagnostic shoe storage box 130 and can be charged at the same time. The left gait diagnostic shoe 150 and the right gait diagnostic shoe 150 can transmit the charge progress signal CS or the charge completion signal AS at regular intervals. For example, the left gait diagnostic shoe 150 immediately transmits the charge progress signal CS or the charge completion signal AS based on the periodic power signal SP, and the right gait diagnostic shoe 150 transmits It is possible to delay the advance signal CS or the charge completion signal AS by the first delay time. The gait detection shoe storage box 130 can detect whether the left charging progress signal CS and the right charging progress signal CS are delayed by a first delay time and transmit the continuous power signal CP , The left charging completion signal (AS) and the right charging completion signal (AS) are delayed by a first delay time to stop transmission of the continuous power signal (CP), and the periodic power signal (SP) Retransmission. If the charging completion signal AS is received from the left gait diagnostic shoe 150 and the charging progress signal CS is received from the right gait diagnostic shoe 150, Can continue to transmit the continuous power signal (CP) since the charge completion signal (AS) is not received at intervals of the first delay time. Therefore, the right gait diagnostic shoe 150, which has not been charged, can be continuously charged. On the other hand, if the charging completion signal AS is received from the left gait diagnostic shoe 150 and the charging completion signal AS is received from the right gait diagnostic shoe 150 by a delay time of the first delay time, The shoe storage box 130 may determine that both the left and right gait diagnostic shoes 150 have been charged and may stop the transmission of the continuous power signal CP.

In one embodiment, the wireless power receiver 117 may transmit the unique number of the gait diagnostic shoe 150 and the charging status information of the battery 113 to the wireless power transmitter 137. The gait diagnostic shoe storage box 130 can simultaneously store a plurality of gait diagnostic shoe 150 and can receive gait data FD from each gait diagnostic shoe 150. The first data transmission units 112 of the gait diagnostic shoe 150 may have unique numbers for distinguishing the gait diagnostic shoe 150. The gait diagnostic shoe storage box 130 may include a step The hook diagnosis shoes 150 can be identified. That is, the unique number may function as an identification code for distinguishing the gait diagnostic shoe 150 from other gait diagnostic shoe. The charging status information of the battery 113 may include information such as the current remaining amount of the battery 113, the charging voltage CV level supplied to the battery or the intensity of the power signals SP and CP received by the wireless power receiving unit 117 And may include the same charging related information. The wireless power transmitter 137 may change the frequency and / or intensity of the power signals SP and CP based on the charge state information and may determine the frequency and / or intensity of the power signals SP and CP based on the frequency and / The level of the charging voltage CV supplied to the capacitor 113 can be changed. For example, the charging voltage (CV) level supplied to the battery 113 may be changed according to the distance between the wireless power receiving unit 117 and the wireless power transmitting unit 137. The wireless power receiving unit 117 measures the level of the charging voltage CV and transmits the information to the wireless power transmitting unit 137. The wireless power transmitting unit 137 measures the frequency and / The level of the charging voltage CV supplied to the battery 113 can be changed. Accordingly, the battery 113 can be stably charged even if the distance between the wireless power receiving unit 117 and the wireless power transmitting unit 137 changes. In addition, the gait diagnostic shoe storage box 130 can display the state of charge of the battery 113 based on the charge state information. For example, it is possible to display the current remaining amount of the battery 113, and calculate and display the time required until the charging of the battery 113 is completed. In this way, the user can easily observe the state of charge of the battery 113. In one embodiment, the unique number and charge status information may each be converted into a signal in the form of an electromagnetic wave and transmitted.

The first data transmission and reception unit 112 can be connected to the second data transmission and reception unit 132 provided in the gait diagnostic shoe storage box 130 and can receive gait data FD stored in the memory 116 via wireless communication To the second data transmission / reception unit 132. [ The first data transmission / reception unit 112 can be activated based on the first data transmission / reception unit activation signal BA1. For example, when the gait diagnostic shoe 150 is stored in the gait diagnostic shoe box 130, the wireless power receiver 117 receives the periodic power signal SP or the continuous power signal SP from the gait diagnostic shoe box 130, (CP). The wireless power receiving unit 117 may generate the first data transmitting and receiving unit activating signal BA1 based on the periodic power signal SP or the continuous power signal CP and the first data transmitting and receiving unit 112 may generate the first data transmitting / 1 data transmitting / receiving unit activating signal BA1 and can be connected to the second data transmitting / receiving unit 132 of the gait diagnostic shoe storage box 130. [ For example, the first data transmitting and receiving unit 112 may be connected to the second data transmitting and receiving unit 132 through Bluetooth, near field communication (NFC), IEEE 802.11b (Wi-Fi), IEEE 802.15. 4 (Zigbee), and radio frequency identification (RFID). The first data transmission and reception unit 112 transmits the gait data FD to the second data transmission and reception unit 132 in response to the data transmission request signal DRS of the second data transmission and reception unit 132 can do. In one embodiment, the first data transmission / reception unit 112 may delete the gait data FD stored in the memory 116 based on the data deletion request signal DDS of the second data transmission / reception unit 132. For example, when the data deletion request signal DDS is transmitted from the second data transmission / reception unit 132, the first data transmission / reception unit 112 generates a data deletion instruction (DDO) And can delete the gait data FD stored in the memory 116 based on the delete instruction (DDO). In one embodiment, the first data transceiver 112 may include a unique number. The gait diagnostic shoe storage box 130 may store a plurality of gait diagnostic shoes 150 at the same time. In this case, each gait diagnostic shoe 150 can be charged at the same time, and each gait data FD can be transmitted to the second data transmission / reception unit 132. [ The second data transmission / reception unit 132 may be connected to the first data transmission / reception units 112 at the same time. The second data transmission / reception unit 132 can distinguish the first data transmission / reception units 112 connected based on the unique numbers of the first data transmission / reception units 112, Can be distinguished. The unique number may be transmitted from the wireless power receiving unit 117 to the wireless power transmitting unit 137. [ The wireless power receiving unit 117 and the wireless power transmitting unit 137 can transmit and receive the power signals CP and SP and the charging signals CS and AS at a short distance. Accordingly, if the unique number is transmitted from the wireless power receiving unit 117, it is possible to know whether or not the gait diagnostic shoe 150 is stored in the gait diagnostic shoe storage box 130. That is, the unique number is transmitted only when the gait diagnostic shoe 150 is stored in the gait diagnostic shoe storage box 130, and the second data transmitter / receiver 132 transmits the gait diagnostic shoe storage box 130 based on the unique number. Only the gait data FD of the gait diagnostic shoe 150 stored in the gait diagnostic shoe 150 can be individually received.

The control unit 114 may control the memory 116 and the first data transmission / reception unit 112. For example, the control unit 114 may write the gait data FD in the memory 116 and read the gait data FD stored in the memory 116. [ The control unit 114 may activate the first data transmission / reception unit 112 by receiving the first data transmission / reception unit activation signal BA1 from the wireless power reception unit 117, and the activated first data transmission / reception unit 112 To provide gait data (FD). The control unit 114 may receive the data delete command (DDO) from the first data transmission / reception unit 112 and delete the gait data FD stored in the memory 116. For example, the controller 114 may be a micro controller unit (MCU) including a semiconductor chip.

In one embodiment, the gait diagnostic shoe 150 may further include a motion sensor, a weight sensor, a temperature sensor, and / or a humidity sensor. The motion sensor may be used to measure various movements of the user, and may include an acceleration sensor, a gyro sensor, a geomagnetic sensor, an altimeter, and the like. Weight sensors, temperature sensors and humidity sensors can be used to measure the user's weight, foot temperature and humidity. In addition, the gait diagnostic shoe 150 may further include various sensors capable of analyzing the user's body information in addition to the sensors listed above. The gait diagnostic shoe 150 may further include a position tracking device, have. However, the types of sensors are not limited to those listed above.

The gait diagnosis shoe storage box 130 may include a wireless power transmission unit 137, a second data transmission / reception unit 132, a communication control unit 134, and an Internet communication unit 136. The gait diagnostic shoe storage box 130 may be a shelf for storing the gait diagnostic shoe 150. The gait diagnostic shoe storage box 130 may store a plurality of gait diagnostic shoes 150. However, for convenience of explanation, FIG. 2 shows one gait diagnostic shoe 150 stored in the gait diagnostic shoe storage box 130.

The wireless power transmission unit 137 can transmit the periodic power signal SP at a predetermined period. The periodic power signal SP may be used as a signal for confirming whether or not to store the gait diagnostic shoe 150. That is, the radio power signal in the form of electromagnetic wave can be received only by the nearby radio power receiving unit 117, and the remote radio power receiving unit 117 which is far away can not receive the periodical power signal SP or the continuous power signal CP . The wireless power transmitting unit 137 transmits the continuous power signal CP only to the nearby wireless power receiving unit 117 and the wireless power receiving unit 117 charges the battery 113 based on the continuous power signal CP . If the wireless power transmission unit 137 continuously transmits the continuous power signal CP irrespective of whether or not the gait diagnostic shoe 150 is stored, unnecessary power may be wasted. Accordingly, the wireless power transmission unit 137 periodically transmits a relatively low power-consuming periodic power signal SP to prevent waste of power, and transmits only the continuous power signal SP to the wireless power receiving unit 117 which responds to the periodic power signal SP It is possible to transmit the power signal CP. The periodic power signal SP may be a pulse power signal transmitted at a predetermined period. For example, the periodic power signal SP may be a pulsed power signal having a period of about one second (s) and a duration of about 50 milliseconds (ms). The wireless power transmitting unit 137 can receive the charging progress signal CS or the charging completion signal AS from the wireless power receiving unit 117. [ As described above, when the wireless power receiving unit 117 receives the periodic power signal SP, the wireless power receiving unit 117 can check whether the battery 113 needs to be charged. If it is necessary to charge the battery 113, the wireless power receiving unit 117 can transmit the charging progress signal CS and the wireless power transmitting unit 137 can transmit the continuous power It is possible to transmit the signal CP. In one embodiment, the wireless power transmission unit 137 can transmit a continuous power signal CP only while the charging progress signal CS is received. If the charging of the battery 113 is completed, the continuous power signal CP need not be transmitted any more. Therefore, the wireless power receiving unit 117 transmits the charge completion signal CP, and the wireless power transmitting unit 137 may not transmit the continuous power signal CP any more. On the other hand, when the user wears the gait diagnostic shoe 150 and goes out while the battery 113 is being charged, the continuous power signal CP need not be transmitted any more. In this case, the wireless power transmission unit 137 can no longer receive the continuous power signal CP since it can no longer receive the charging progress signal CS from the wireless power reception unit 117. [ As a result, the continuous power signal CP can be transmitted only when the gait diagnostic shoe 150 is stored or adjacent to the gait diagnostic shoe box 130 and the charge progress signal CS is received. The wireless power transmission unit 137 may include a second transmission coil for transmitting a periodic power signal SP in the form of electromagnetic waves and a continuous power signal CP and may include a charging progress signal CS in the form of an electromagnetic wave, And may include a second receive coil to receive the signal AS. In one embodiment, the wireless power transmission unit 137 can receive the charging progress signal CS or the charging completion signal AS from the plurality of wireless power receiving units 117, respectively. The charging progress signal CSs and the charging completion signals AS may be received with a delay of a predetermined delay time. For example, the wireless power transmission unit 137 receives the left charging progress signal CS from the left footstep diagnostic shoe 150, and receives the right charging progress signal from the right footstep diagnostic shoe 150, delayed by the first delay time, (CS), and may transmit a continuous power signal (CP) based on the charging progress signals (CS) and the first delay time. That is, when the left and right gait diagnostic shoes 150 are all stored in the gait diagnostic shoe storage box 130, the gait diagnostic shoe 150 can be charged. The wireless power transmission unit 137 receives the left charging completion signal AS from the left gait diagnostic shoe 150 and the right charging completion signal AS delayed from the right gait diagnostic shoe 150 by the first delay time, ), And can stop the transmission of the continuous power signal (CP) based on the charging completion signals (AS) and the first delay time. That is, the wireless power transmission unit 137 can continuously transmit the continuous power signal CP until both the left and right gait diagnostic shoes 150 are fully charged.

In one embodiment, the wireless power transmitter 137 may receive the unique number of the gait diagnostic shoe 150 and the charging status information of the battery 113 from the wireless power receiver 117. The identification number of the footstep diagnostic shoe 150 and the information on the state of charge of the battery 113 have been described above, and a duplicate description thereof will be omitted.

The second data transmission / reception unit 132 may be connected to the first data transmission / reception unit 112 and may receive the gait data FD from the first data transmission / reception unit 112. And the second data transmission / reception unit 132 may be activated based on the second data transmission / reception unit activation signal BA2. For example, when the gait diagnostic shoe 150 is stored in the gait diagnostic shoe storage box 130, the wireless power transmitting unit 137 receives the charging progress signal CS or the charging completion signal AS from the wireless power receiving unit 117, Can be received. The wireless power transmission unit 137 may generate the second data transmission and reception unit activation signal BA2 based on the charging progress signal CS or the charging completion signal AS and the second data transmission and reception unit 132 may generate the second data transmission / And may be activated based on the data transmission / reception unit activation signal BA2 to be connected to the first data transmission / reception unit 112. [ For example, the second data transmitting and receiving unit 132 may be connected to the first data transmitting and receiving unit 112 through Bluetooth, NFC, Wi-Fi, Zigbee, RFID, or the like. In one embodiment, the second data transmission / reception unit 132 may check the connection with the first data transmission / reception unit 112 periodically. If the second data transmission / reception unit 132 and the first data transmission / reception unit 112 are disconnected, the second data transmission / reception unit 132 searches for the activated first data transmission / reception unit 112, 1 data transmission / reception unit 112. [0050] FIG. The second data transmission / reception unit 132 transmits a data transmission request signal (data transmission request signal) to the first data transmission / reception unit 112. In this case, the second data transmission / reception unit 132 and the first data transmission / DRS). The data transmission request signal DRS can be transmitted irrespective of whether the gait diagnostic shoe 150 is charged or not. If the gait data FD is received only during the charging of the gait diagnostic shoes 150, if the charging of the gait diagnostic shoes 150 in the middle is completed, the gait data FD may not be completely received have. Therefore, the gait data FD can be continuously transmitted and received while the second data transmission / reception unit 132 and the first data transmission / reception unit 112 are connected. In one embodiment, the second data transmission / reception unit 132 may transmit the data deletion request signal DDS to the first data transmission / reception unit 112 upon completion of the reception of the gait data FD. When the reception of the gait data (FD) is completed, the pre-stored gait data (FD) needs to be deleted to secure the storage space of the memory (116). Accordingly, the second data transmission / reception unit 132 periodically checks whether or not the gait data FD has been received. When the reception of the gait data FD is completed, the second data transmission / reception unit 132 transmits the data deletion request signal DDS to the first data To the transmission / reception unit (112). The second data transmission / reception unit 132 may be connected to the first data transmission / reception units 112 at the same time. Each of the first data transmission / reception units 112 can have a unique number, so that the second data transmission / reception unit 132 can distinguish the first data transmission / reception units 112 based on the unique number. The second data transmission / reception unit 132 may transmit the data transmission request signal DRS or the data deletion request signal DDS to the first data transmission / reception units 112 based on the unique number. For example, the second data transmission / reception unit 132 transmits a data transmission request signal (DRS) or a data deletion request (DRS) only to the first data transmission / reception unit 112 having a specific unique number among the connected first data transmission / It is possible to transmit the signal DDS. In one embodiment, the second data transmission / reception unit 132 may periodically check the status of the received gait data FD. If a transmission / reception error occurs between the first data transmission / reception unit 112 and the second data transmission / reception unit 132, the wrong gait data FD can be received. The second data transmission / reception unit 132 periodically checks whether the state of the gait data FD is normal. If the gait data FD is abnormal, the second data transmission / reception unit 132 transmits a data transmission request signal (DRS) can be retransmitted.

The Internet communication unit 136 may be connected to the external Internet server 160 and may receive the gait data FD from the second data transmitting and receiving unit 132 and transmit the gait data FD to the external Internet server 160. In one embodiment, the Internet communication unit 136 may receive program data from the external Internet server 160. [ The received program data may be transmitted to the first data transmission / reception unit 112 via the second data transmission / reception unit 132, and the gait diagnostic shoe (s) may be transmitted based on the program data received by the first data transmission / 150 may be updated. The Internet communication unit 136 may be connected to the external Internet server 160 in a wired or wireless manner. For example, the Internet communication unit 136 may wirelessly connect to the external Internet server 160 via Wi-Fi, wibro or code division multiple access (CDMA) And can be connected to the external Internet server 160 through a wired connection.

The communication control unit 134 can control the second data transmission / reception unit 132 and the Internet communication unit 136. [ The communication control unit 134 may transmit the gait data FD received from the second data transmission and reception unit 132 to the Internet communication unit 136 and may transmit the program data received from the external Internet server 160 to the second data transmission / (132). In addition, the communication control unit 134 can activate the second data transmission / reception unit 132 by receiving the second data transmission / reception unit activation signal BA2 from the wireless power transmission unit 137. [ The communication control unit 134 may include a gateway for connecting the second data transmission / reception unit 132 and the Internet communication unit 136, for example.

As described above, the gait diagnostic shoe management system 100 includes a gait diagnostic shoe box 130 that wirelessly charges the gait diagnostic shoe 150 and wirelessly receives the gait data FD. The gait diagnostic shoe 150 can be easily managed. For example, the user does not need to replace the battery of the gait diagnostic shoe 150, and does not need to connect a separate data cable to receive the gait data FD. Therefore, the management system 100 of the gait diagnostic shoe can greatly improve the usability.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing an operation method of a footstep diagnostic shoe storage box according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an example in which stepping data is received by the operation method of FIG. 4, 4 is a flowchart showing an example in which the gait data is re-received by the operation method of Fig. 4 is substantially the same as the gait diagnostic shoe storage box 130 described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3. Therefore, in explaining the operation method of FIG. 4, And FIG. 3 together.

4 to 6, the method of operation of FIG. 4 transmits (S110) the periodic power signal SP to the gait diagnostic shoe 150 that generates gait data based on the pressure (S110) SP of the gait diagnostic shoe 150 from the gait diagnostic shoe 150 in step S120 and outputs the continuous power signal CP based on the charge progress signal CS to the gait diagnostic shoe 150. [ (S140), the charging completion signal AS is received from the gait diagnostic shoe 150 which has been charged (S140), and the periodic power signal SP is retransmitted (S150) based on the charging completion signal AS )can do.

The gait diagnostic shoe storage box 130 may be connected to an external power supply. For example, the gait diagnostic shoe box 130 may be operatively connected to a household AC outlet. In one embodiment, the gait diagnostic shoe box 130 may be equipped with a separate power switch. In this case, the operation method of FIG. 4 may first check the power-on of the stepping shoe diagnostic shoe box 130 (S105).

When the power source of the padding diagnostic shoe box 130 is turned on, the operation method of FIG. 4 may transmit the periodic power signal SP to the walking diagnostic shoe 150. The periodic power signal SP may be received by the wireless power receiving unit 117 adjacent to the wireless power transmitting unit 137. [ That is, the periodic power signal SP may not be received by the wireless power receiving unit 117, which is separated from the wireless power transmitting unit 137 by a predetermined range. Therefore, the periodic power signal SP can be used as a signal for checking whether the gait diagnostic shoe 150 is stored in the gait diagnostic shoe box 130. [

The operation method of FIG. 4 can check whether or not the charge progress signal CS is received. The wireless power receiving unit 117 close to the wireless power transmitting unit 137 can generate the charging progress signal CS or the charging completion signal AS in response to the periodic power signal SP. For example, the wireless power receiving unit 117 may drive the control unit 114 based on the periodic power signal SP, and the control unit 114 may check the remaining amount of the battery 113 to charge the battery 113 Can be determined. If it is necessary to charge the battery 113, the wireless power receiving unit 117 can generate the charging progress signal CS. If it is not necessary to charge the battery 113, the wireless power receiving unit 117 can generate the charging completion signal AS. The wireless power transmission unit 137 can receive the charging progress signal CS or the charging completion signal AS. In one embodiment, the wireless power transmission unit 137 can receive the charging progress signal CS and the charging completion signals AS from the plurality of wireless power receiving units 117, respectively. For example, the gait diagnostic shoe box 130 may simultaneously store the left and right gait diagnostic shoes 150 and may simultaneously charge the left and right gait diagnostic shoes 150. The charging progress signals CS or the charging completion signals AS transmitted from the left and right gait diagnostic shoes 150 may be separately received at a predetermined delay time interval. For example, when the charging progress signal CS or the charging completion signal AS is received from the outside gait diagnostic shoe 150, and after the first delay time, the charging progress signal CS ) Or a charge completion signal (AS) may be received. The wireless power transmitting unit 137 may be configured such that both the left and right gait diagnostic shoes 150 are placed on the basis of the charging progress signal CS or the charging completion signal AS separately received at the first demonstration time interval, (130).

The operation method of FIG. 4 can check whether or not the charging progress signal CS is received to determine whether the battery 113 needs to be charged. If the charging progress signal CS is received, the battery 113 is required to be charged, so that the wireless power transmission unit 137 can transmit the continuous power signal CP. The wireless power receiving unit 117 can charge the battery 113 based on the continuous power signal CP. On the other hand, when the charging completion signal AS is received, since the battery 113 is not required to be charged, the wireless power transmitting unit 137 does not transmit the continuous power signal CP and prevents unnecessary power consumption . In one embodiment, the wireless power transmitter 137 receives a continuous power signal (CP) based on the charging progress signals (CS) or charging completion signals (AS) transmitted from the left and right gait diagnostic shoes (150) Or a periodic power signal SP. For example, the wireless power transmission unit 137 receives the left charging progress signal CS from the left footstep diagnostic shoe 150, and receives the right charging progress signal from the right footstep diagnostic shoe 150, delayed by the first delay time, (CP) can be transmitted only when it receives the continuous power signal (CS). In this case, when a pair of gait diagnostic shoe 150 is stored in the gait diagnostic shoe storage box 130, charging may not be performed, and when both the left and right gait diagnostic shoe 150 are in a gait diagnosis Charging can be performed only when stored in the shoe storage box 130.

The operation method of FIG. 4 can check whether or not the charge completion signal AS is received to determine whether the battery 113 has been charged. As described above, when charging of the battery 113 is completed, the wireless power receiving unit 117 can transmit the charging completion signal AS. Therefore, it can be determined whether or not the battery 113 has been charged based on the charging completion signal AS. If the charging completion signal AS is received, the charging of the battery 113 is completed, so that the wireless power transmission unit 137 stops the transmission of the continuous power signal CP and retransmits the periodic power signal SP can do. If the charging completion signal AS is not received, the charging of the battery 113 is not completed. Therefore, the wireless power transmitting unit 137 keeps transmitting the continuous power signal CP, and the wireless power receiving unit 117 May continue to charge the battery 113 based on the continuous power signal CP. In one embodiment, the wireless power transmitter 137 may continue to transmit a continuous power signal (CP) until both the left and right gait diagnostic shoes 150 are fully charged. For example, the wireless power transmitter 137 receives the left charging completion signal AS from the left gait diagnostic shoe 150 and the right charging completion signal AS delayed from the right gait diagnostic shoe 150 by the first delay time, The transmission of the continuous power signal CP can be stopped only when the AS signal is received. In this case, when only one pair of gait diagnostic shoe 150 is fully charged, the charge completion signal AS is not received for a delay of the first delay time, so that the remaining gait diagnostic shoe 150 is completely charged The wireless power transmission unit 137 can continue to transmit the continuous power signal CP. Therefore, the continuous power signal CP can be transmitted stably until both the left and right gait diagnostic shoes 150 are charged.

In one embodiment, the method of operation of FIG. 4 may periodically check whether a charge progress signal CS or a charge completion signal AS is received. For example, when the battery 113 is not completely charged, the user may wear the gait diagnostic shoe 150 and go outside. In this case, since the wireless power transmission unit 137 has not received the charge completion signal AS, the wireless power transmission unit 137 can continuously transmit the continuous power signal CP, and unnecessary power can be wasted. Therefore, the operation method of FIG. 4 periodically checks whether the charging progress signal CS or the charging completion signal AS is received, and when the charging progress signal CS or the charging completion signal AS is not received, The transmission of the power signal CP can be immediately stopped.

In one embodiment, the method of operation of FIG. 4 may receive charge status information from the footstep diagnostic shoe 150. The charge state information includes charge related information such as the current remaining amount of the battery 113, the charge voltage (CV) level supplied to the battery 113 or the periodic power signal SP and the intensity of the continuous power signal CP . The gait diagnostic shoe store 130 may change the frequency and / or intensity of the periodic power signal SP or the continuous power signal CP based on the charge state information and may determine the charge voltage CV) level may be changed based on the frequency and / or intensity of the periodic power signal SP or the continuous power signal CP. Accordingly, the battery 113 can be stably charged even if the distance between the wireless power receiving unit 117 and the wireless power transmitting unit 137 changes. In addition, the gait diagnostic shoe storage box 130 can display the state of charge of the battery 113 based on the charge state information. For example, it is possible to display the current remaining amount of the battery 113, and calculate and display the time required until the charging of the battery 113 is completed. Thus, the user can easily observe the state of charge of the battery 113.

4, the operation method of FIG. 4 includes the steps of, based on the charge progress signal CS or the charge completion signal AS, to receive the gait data FD from the gait diagnostic shoe 150 The second data transmitting and receiving unit 132 generates the second data transmitting and receiving unit activating signal BA2 for activating the second data transmitting and receiving unit 132 in accordance with the second data transmitting and receiving unit activating signal BA2, The controller 110 connects the first data transmitting and receiving unit 112 of the hook diagnosis shoe 150 to the first data transmitting and receiving unit 112 of the hook diagnosis shoe 150, receives the gait data FD from the first data transmitting and receiving unit 112 (S180) To the external Internet server 160 (S190).

In one embodiment, the method of operation of FIG. 4 may check whether the charging progress signal CS or the charging completion signal AS has been received (S155) before receiving the gait data FD. The gait data FD needs to be received when the use of the gait diagnostic shoe 150 is terminated and the gait diagnostic shoe 150 is stored in the gait diagnostic shoe box 130. [ Since the gait data FD can be wirelessly transmitted and received and wireless data transmission and reception are limited in distance, the gait diagnostic shoe 150 and the gait diagnostic shoe storage box 130 need to be close to each other. The wireless power receiving unit 117 receives the periodic power signal SP generated by the wireless power transmitting unit 137 and transmits the periodic power signal SP generated by the wireless power transmitting unit 137 Thereby generating a charge progress signal CS or a charge completion signal AS. The generated charge progress signal CS or the charge completion signal AS may be transmitted to the wireless power transmission unit 137 again. Accordingly, it is checked whether the wireless power transmitting unit 137 has received the charging progress signal CS or the charging completion signal AS and whether or not the gait diagnostic shoe 150 is stored in the gait diagnostic shoe storage box 130 It can be judged. In one embodiment, the method of operation of FIG. 4 may receive gait data FD only when a charge progress signal CS or a charge completion signal AS is received. If the operation method of FIG. 4 receives the gait data FD only when the charging progress signal CS is received, the charging of the gait diagnostic shoe 150 is completed during the reception of the gait data FD , The problem that the gait data FD can not be completely received may occur. Accordingly, the operation method of FIG. 4 can receive the gait data FD when the charge completion signal CS is received as well as when the charge completion signal AS is received.

4 generates a second data transmission / reception unit activation signal BA2 for activating the second data transmission / reception unit 132 to connect the second data transmission / reception unit 132 to the first data transmission / reception unit 112 can do. For example, the operation method of FIG. 4 can generate the second data transmitter / receiver active signal BA2 when the charging progress signal CS or the charging completion signal AS is received. The second data transmission / reception unit 132 may be activated based on the second data transmission / reception unit activation signal BA2 and may be connected to the first data transmission / reception unit 112. [ 4 operates the second data transmitter / receiver 132 only when the gait diagnostic shoe 150 and the gait diagnostic shoe storage 130 are close to each other. Therefore, the second data transmitter / The unnecessary power consumption can be reduced.

The operation method of FIG. 4 may connect the second data transmission / reception unit 132 and the first data transmission / reception unit 112. The second data transmission / reception unit 132 and the first data transmission / reception unit 112 may be connected to each other through short-distance communication. The second data transmission / reception unit 132 and the first data transmission / reception unit 112 may be connected by, for example, Bluetooth, NFC, Wi-Fi, Zigbee, RFID, or the like. In one embodiment, the second data transmission / reception unit 132 may be connected to the plurality of first data transmission / reception units 112 at the same time. The gait diagnosis shoe storage box 130 can simultaneously store a plurality of gait diagnostic shoes 150. The gait data FDs are transmitted from the respective gait diagnostic shoes 150 to the second data transmitter- Lt; / RTI > In this case, each of the first data transmission / reception units 112 may include a unique number, and the second data transmission / reception unit 132 may transmit the unique number to the first data transmission / reception units 112 It is possible to distinguish the gait data FD from each other. For example, the unique number may be transmitted from the wireless power receiving unit 117 together with the charging progress signal CS or the charging completion signal AS. When the gait diagnostic shoe 150 is stored in the gait diagnostic shoe box 130, the gait diagnostic shoe box 130 receives the charge progress signal CS or the charge completion signal AS from the gait diagnostic shoe 150, Can be received. If the unique number is also transmitted together with the charging progress signal CS or the charging completion signal AS, the second data transmission / reception unit 132 can be selectively connected to the specific data transmission / reception unit based on the unique number . When the gait diagnostic shoe 150 is stored in the gait diagnostic shoe storage box 130, the unique identification number is transmitted to the gait diagnostic shoe storage box 130 together with the charge progress signal CS or the charge completion signal AS And the second data transmission / reception unit 132 can identify the first data transmission / reception unit 112 based on the unique number and selectively connect to the first data transmission / reception unit 112. Therefore, the second data transmission / reception unit 132 can selectively receive only the gait data FD of the gait diagnostic shoe 150 stored in the gait diagnostic shoe storage box 130.

4, the operation method of FIG. 4 periodically checks the connection between the first data transmitting / receiving unit 112 and the second data transmitting / receiving unit 132 (S172). If the connection is normal, the data transmission request signal DRS (S174). If the connection is abnormal, it is checked whether or not it corresponds to an exception condition (S176). In the exceptional case, the connection between the first data transmitting / receiving unit 112 and the second data transmitting / (S196). If not, the first data transmitting / receiving unit 112 and the second data transmitting / receiving unit 132 may be reconnected (S170). It is necessary to check whether or not the connection between the second data transmission / reception unit 132 and the first data transmission / reception unit 112 is normal since the gait data FD is transmitted and received through wireless communication. If the connection between the second data transmission / reception unit 132 and the first data transmission / reception unit 112 is abnormal, the operation method of FIG. 4 resets the second data transmission / reception unit 132 and the first data transmission / . However, in an exceptional situation, the second data transmission / reception unit 132 and the first data transmission / reception unit 112 may not be connected again. For example, when the user walks the walking shoes 150 while the gait data FD is being transmitted or received, the second data transmitting / receiving unit 132 transmits / receives the first data transmitting / receiving unit 112 It may not be possible. If the second data transmission / reception unit 132 is continuously activated even in this exceptional situation, unnecessary power can be wasted. 4, when the connection between the first data transmitting and receiving unit 112 and the second data transmitting and receiving unit 132 is abnormal, the operation of the second data transmitting and receiving unit 132 and the first data transmitting and receiving unit 112 It is possible to check whether the connection is temporarily disconnected or whether the user wears the gait diagnostic shoe 150 and goes out and is disconnected. If it is an exceptional situation, the operation method of FIG. 4 can reduce unnecessary power consumption by deactivating the second data transmission / reception unit 132. On the other hand, if the connection between the second data transmitting / receiving unit 132 and the first data transmitting / receiving unit 112 is normal, the gait data FD is transmitted from the first data transmitting / receiving unit 112 and transmitted to the second data transmitting / ). ≪ / RTI > For example, when the connection between the second data transmission / reception unit 132 and the first data transmission / reception unit 112 is normal, the second data transmission / reception unit 132 transmits a data transmission request signal ( DRS). In one embodiment, the second data transmission / reception unit 132 distinguishes the connected first data transmission / reception units 112 based on the unique number, and separately transmits a data transmission request signal (DRS).

The operation method of Fig. 4 can receive the gait data FD. The first data transmission and reception unit 112 may transmit the gait data FD in response to the data transmission request signal DRS and the gait data FD may be received through the second data transmission and reception unit 132 .

4 may transmit the received gait data FD to the external Internet server 160. [ The gait detection shoe storage box 130 may be connected to the external Internet server 160 in a wired or wireless manner and the gait data FD may be automatically transmitted to the external Internet server 160 and managed. In this case, the user can easily access his / her gait data (FD) by connecting to the external Internet server 160 through a personal computer (PC), a notebook computer, a smart phone, a tablet PC, etc., .

The operation method of FIG. 4 checks whether the gait data FD has been received (S184) before transmitting the gait data FD to the external Internet server 160 (S190) When the reception of the gait data FD is not completed, the gait data FD is continuously received. When the reception of the gait data FD is completed, the gait data FD is transmitted to the external Internet server 160 (Step S 190), and transmits a data deletion request signal DDS to the gait diagnostic shoe 150 (S 192). When all the gait data FD are deleted, the second data transmission / reception unit 132 and the first data The connection of the transmission / reception unit 112 can be ended (S194).

Since the memory 116 of the gait diagnostic shoe 150 has a capacity limitation, the gait data FD that has been transmitted to the external Internet server 160 needs to be deleted. Therefore, the operation method of FIG. 4 checks whether all the gait data FD have been received, and transmits the data deletion request signal DDS to the first data transmission / reception unit 112 so that the gait data FD, Can be transmitted. When the first data transmission / reception unit 112 receives the data deletion request signal DDS, the first data transmission / reception unit 112 transmits a data deletion instruction (DDO) to the control unit 114, It is possible to delete the gait data FD based on the delete command DDO. When all the gait data FD are deleted, the connection between the second data transmission / reception unit 132 and the first data transmission / reception unit 112 can be terminated.

As shown in FIG. 6, the operation method of FIG. 4 checks whether the state of the gait data FD periodically received during the reception of the gait data FD is normal (S182), and the gait data (Step S183). If the state of the gait data FD is abnormal, the first data transmission / reception unit 112 and the second data transmission / reception unit 132 If the connection is abnormal, the connection between the first data transmitting / receiving unit 112 and the second data transmitting / receiving unit 132 is terminated (S194). If the connection is normal, a retransmission request signal is generated (S186), counts the number of times the retransmission request signal is generated (S187), compares the number of occurrences with the threshold number (S188), generates a data reception error warning if the number of occurrences exceeds the threshold number (S189) If the number of occurrences does not exceed the threshold number, It may be the retransmission (S174) a data transmission request signal based on the transmission request signal.

The operation method of FIG. 4 can periodically check the state of the gait data FD. If an error occurs while gait data (FD) is being received, abnormal gait data (FD) may be received. The operation method of FIG. 4 may periodically check the state of the gait data FD to store the normal gait data FD and request retransmission for the abnormal gait data FD.

The operation method of FIG. 4 may check the connection between the first data transmission / reception unit 112 and the second data transmission / reception unit 132 before requesting retransmission for abnormal gait data FD. For example, the user may wear out the gait diagnostic shoes 150 while receiving the gait data FD. In this case, the connection between the first data transmission / reception unit 112 and the second data transmission / reception unit 132 may be abnormally disconnected. In the operation method of FIG. 4, the first data transmission / reception unit 112 and the second data transmission / It is possible to prevent unnecessary power wastage by terminating the connection of the power supply 132. The gait data FD may be re-received when the gait diagnostic shoe 150 is stored back in the gait diagnostic shoe box 130. [ On the other hand, if the connection between the first data transmitting / receiving unit 112 and the second data transmitting / receiving unit 132 is normal, abnormal gait data FD may be received due to a transmission / reception error. In this case, the operation method of FIG. 4 may request retransmission of the abnormal gait data FD by a preset threshold number of times. For example, the operation method of FIG. 4 generates a gating data (FD) retransmission request signal, counts the number of times the retransmission request signal is generated, compares the counted number of occurrences with a threshold number of times, The data transmission request signal DRS can be retransmitted. If the number of occurrences of the retransmission request signal exceeds the threshold number, the operation method of FIG. 4 generates a data reception error warning, and therefore, The connection between the data transmission / reception unit 112 and the second data transmission / reception unit 132 can be terminated.

As described above, the operation method of FIG. 4 can automatically determine whether the gait diagnostic shoe 150 is stored, thereby automatically charging the gait diagnostic shoe 150, automatically receiving the gait data FD To the external Internet server (160). Therefore, the user can easily manage the gait diagnostic shoe 150 without any other operation.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart illustrating an operation method of the stepping shoe diagnostic shoe according to the embodiments of the present invention, and FIG. 8 is a flowchart illustrating an example of how the stepping data is transmitted by the method of operation of FIG. However, the gait diagnostic shoes that operate according to the operation method of FIG. 7 are the same as the gait diagnostic shoes 150 of FIGS. 1 to 3, and therefore, the operation method of FIG. 7 will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3 .

7, the method of operation of FIG. 7 receives the periodic power signal SP from the gait diagnostic shoe box 130 (S210) and calculates the periodic power signal SP based on the periodic power signal SP, The charging progress signal CS is transmitted to the gait diagnostic shoe storage box 130 at step S230 and the charging progress signal CS is transmitted to the gait diagnostic shoe storage box 130. [ The battery 113 is charged (S250) based on the continuous power signal CP (S240), and the battery 113 The charging completion signal AS can be transmitted to the stepping shoe diagnostic shoe box 130 (S260).

The operating method of Figure 7 may receive the periodic power signal SP. The gait diagnostic shoe store 130 may generate a periodic power signal SP at predetermined intervals to reduce unnecessarily wasted power. Since both the periodic power signal SP and the continuous power signal CP are power signals in the form of electromagnetic waves, only the wireless power receiving unit 117 within a predetermined range can receive them. The wireless power receiving unit 117 is sufficiently adjacent to the wireless power transmitting unit 137 when the gait diagnostic shoe 150 is stored in the gait diagnostic shoe storage box 130 so that the wireless power receiving unit 117 receives the periodic power signal SP).

The operating method of FIG. 7 can check whether charging of the battery 113 is necessary based on the periodic power signal SP. For example, the wireless power receiving unit 117 receiving the periodic power signal SP drives the control unit 114, and the control unit 114 can check the remaining amount of the battery 113. [

The operation method of FIG. 7 can transmit the charging progress signal CS or the charging completion signal AS according to whether the battery 113 needs to be charged. For example, if it is not necessary to charge the battery 113, the wireless power receiving unit 117 transmits the charging completion signal AS to the wireless power transmitting unit 137, and if it is necessary to charge the battery 113, The receiving section 118 can transmit the charging progress signal CS to the wireless power transmitting section 117. [ In one embodiment, the wireless power receiver 117 may delay the charging progress signal CS by a predetermined delay time. The wireless power transmission unit 137 can distinguish the left gait diagnostic shoe 150 from the right gait diagnostic shoe 150 based on the delay time.

When the battery 113 is required to be charged, the operating method of FIG. 7 can receive a continuous power signal CP transmitted by the wireless power transmitter 137. The wireless power receiving unit 117 can receive power to charge the battery 113 through the continuous power signal CP.

The operating method of FIG. 7 can charge the battery 113 based on the continuous power signal CP. For example, the operating method of FIG. 7 may convert the continuous power signal CP in the form of an electromagnetic wave into a direct current or direct current voltage to charge the battery 113. In one embodiment, the method of operation of FIG. 7 may send charge state information to the gait diagnostic shoe store 130. The charge state information may include information on the intensity of the periodic power signal SP or the continuous power signal CP and the voltage level of the battery 113. [ The gait diagnostic shoe box 130 may adjust the frequency and / or intensity of the continuous power signal CP or the periodic power signal SP based on the charge state information and the battery 113 may be charged stably have. The charge state information may be converted to an electromagnetic wave form and transmitted together with the charge advance signal CS or the charge completion signal AS.

The operation method of FIG. 7 can check whether charging of the battery 113 is completed (S255). For example, the battery 113 may generate a predetermined electrical signal when charging is completed, and the wireless power receiving unit 117 may stop charging the battery 113 based on the electrical signal.

When the charging of the battery 113 is completed, the operation method of Fig. 7 can transmit the charging completion signal AS. Upon receiving the charge completion signal AS, the wireless power transmission unit 137 can stop the transmission of the continuous power signal CP and retransmit the periodic power signal SP. In one embodiment, the wireless power receiver 117 may delay the charge completion signal AS by a predetermined delay time. The wireless power transmission unit 137 can distinguish the left gait diagnostic shoe 150 from the right gait diagnostic shoe 150 based on the delay time and when both the left and right gait diagnostic shoes 150 are fully charged The continuous power signal CP can be transmitted continuously.

As shown in FIG. 8, the method of operation of FIG. 7 may transmit the gait data FD to the gait diagnostic shoe store 130. The gait data FD may be transmitted when the gait diagnostic shoe 150 is stored in the gait diagnostic shoe box 130. [ For example, the operation method of FIG. 7 generates a first data transmission / reception unit activation signal BA1 that activates the first data transmission / reception unit 112 based on the continuous power signal CP or the periodic power signal SP (Step S270), and the first data transmitting / receiving unit 112 is connected to the second data transmitting / receiving unit 132 provided in the stepping shoe storage box 130 based on the first data transmitting / receiving unit activating signal BA1 , And transmits the gait data FD stored in the memory 116 to the second data transmitting and receiving unit 132 (S290).

The operation method of FIG. 7 may check whether the periodic power signal SP or the continuous power signal CP is received (S265) before transmitting the gait data FD. Since the gait data FD can be wirelessly transmitted and received wirelessly and the distance for wireless transmission and reception is limited, in order for the gait data FD to be transmitted and received stably, the gait diagnostic shoe 150 is installed in the gait diagnostic shoe box 130 ). ≪ / RTI > As described above, the periodic power signal SP and the continuous power signal CP can be received by the wireless power receiving unit 117 adjacent to the wireless power transmitting unit 137, It is possible to know whether or not the gait diagnostic shoe 150 is adjacent to the gait diagnostic shoe storage box 130 by checking whether or not the power signal CP is received. For example, when the wireless power receiving unit 117 receives the periodic power signal SP or the continuous power signal CP, the gait diagnostic shoe 150 is determined to be adjacent to the gait diagnostic shoe box 130 .

When the periodic power signal SP or the continuous power signal CP is received, the operating method of FIG. 6 may generate the first data transmitter / receiver active signal BA1. The first data transmission / reception unit 112 can be activated based on the first data transmission / reception unit activation signal BA1. For example, the control unit 114 can activate the first data transmission / reception unit 112 based on the first data transmission / reception unit activation signal BA1. The first data transmission / reception unit 112 is activated only when the gait diagnostic shoe 150 is adjacent to the gait diagnostic shoe storage box 130. Accordingly, the first data transmission / reception unit 112 can be activated only when the second data transmission / Unnecessary power consumed by the power supply 112 can be saved.

The operation method of FIG. 6 may connect the activated first data transmission / reception unit 112 to the second data transmission / reception unit 132. The first data transmitting and receiving unit 112 and the second data transmitting and receiving unit 132 may be connected by Bluetooth, NFC, Wi-Fi, Zigbee, RFID, or the like, for example. In an embodiment, the first data transmission / reception unit 112 may include a unique number, and the second data transmission / reception unit 132 may distinguish the first data transmission / reception units 112 connected at the same time based on the unique number can do. For example, the unique number may be transmitted from the wireless power receiving unit 117 together with the charging progress signal CS or the charging completion signal AS.

7, the connection between the first data transmission / reception unit 112 and the second data transmission / reception unit 132 is checked (S282). If the connection is normal, the second data transmission / reception unit 132 (S286). If the connection is abnormal, it is checked whether or not there is an exception (S286). If the connection is abnormal, the first data transmission / reception unit 112 and the second data transmission / reception unit 132 (S296). If not, the first data transmitting / receiving unit 112 and the second data transmitting / receiving unit 132 can be reconnected (S280). It is necessary to check whether or not the connection between the first data transmitting / receiving unit 112 and the second data transmitting / receiving unit 132 is normal since the gait data FD is transmitted and received through wireless communication. If the connection between the first data transmission / reception unit 112 and the second data transmission / reception unit 132 is abnormal, the operation method of FIG. 7 resets the first data transmission / reception unit 112 and the second data transmission / reception unit 132 again . However, in the exceptional situation, the first data transmission / reception unit 112 and the second data transmission / reception unit 132 may not be connected again. For example, when the user wears the gait diagnostic shoes 150 while the gait data FD is being transmitted or received, the first data transmitter / receiver 112 transmits the second data transmitter / receiver 132 again It may not be possible. In this exceptional situation, unnecessary power can be wasted if the first data transmission / reception unit 112 is continuously activated. 6, when the first data transmitting / receiving unit 112 and the second data transmitting / receiving unit 132 are connected abnormally, the first data transmitting / receiving unit 112 and the second data transmitting / It is possible to check whether the connection is temporarily disconnected or whether the user wears the gait diagnostic shoe 150 and goes out and is disconnected. If it is an exceptional situation, the operation method of FIG. 6 can reduce unnecessary power consumption by deactivating the first data transmission / reception unit 112. If the connection between the first data transmitting and receiving unit 112 and the second data transmitting and receiving unit 132 is normal, the gait data FD is transmitted from the first data transmitting and receiving unit 112 to the second data transmitting and receiving unit 132 ). ≪ / RTI > For example, when the first data transmitting / receiving unit 112 and the second data transmitting / receiving unit 132 are normally connected, the first data transmitting / receiving unit 112 transmits a data transmission request signal ( DRS). In one embodiment, the second data transmission / reception unit 132 distinguishes the first data transmission / reception unit 112 based on the unique number, and separately transmits data (data) to each of the plurality of first data transmission / reception units 112 And can transmit a transmission request signal DRS.

The operation method of Fig. 7 can transmit gait data FD based on the data transmission request signal DRS. In one embodiment, when the abnormal gait data FD is transmitted, the gait diagnostic shoe store 130 may retransmit the data transmission request signal DRS, and the gait diagnostic shoe 150 may send data transmission The gait data FD can be retransmitted based on the request signal DRS.

7, the operation method of FIG. 7 receives the data deletion request signal DDS (S292), deletes the gait data FD (S294) based on the data deletion request signal DDS (S294) The connection between the data transmission / reception unit 112 and the second data transmission / reception unit 132 can be terminated (S296).

The operation method of Fig. 6 can transmit all the gait data FD and delete the gait data FD stored in the memory 116, in order to secure the storage space of the memory 116. [ For example, the second data transmitter / receiver 132 can check whether or not the gait data FD has been received. If the reception of all the gait data FD is completed, the second data transmitter / DDS) to the first data transmission / reception unit 112. The first data transmission / The first data transmission / reception unit 112 can delete the gait data FD based on the data deletion request signal DDS. For example, the first data transmission / reception unit 112 generates a data deletion instruction (DDO) based on the data deletion request signal (DDS), and the control unit 114 generates the step deletion instruction (FD) can be deleted.

After deleting the gait data FD, the operation method of FIG. 7 can terminate the connection between the first data transmission / reception unit 112 and the second data transmission / reception unit 132. The first data transmission / reception unit 112 and the second data transmission / reception unit 132 that have completed the connection can be deactivated again. The first data transmission / reception unit 112 is connected to the second data transmission / reception unit 132 only when the gait data FD is transmitted. Therefore, the first data transmission / reception unit 112 and the second data transmission / The unnecessary waste of power due to the connection can be saved.

As described above, the operation method of FIG. 7 can automatically charge the gait diagnostic shoe 150 without any additional operation or connection, and can automatically transmit the gait data FD. Therefore, the user can easily manage the gait diagnostic shoes 150. [
