Here, the tactile data may be the same as the haptic effect experienced by the character in the sports game. For example, when a control signal generating vibration is generated in front of the insole, the insole may generate vibration in the haptic module located in front of the insole in the haptic module. This allows the user to experience the same sense of realism as participating directly in the content running on the digital device.

In addition, the insole can output the tactile data from the insole when the visual data is output to the display unit in the digital device. In other words, the user can visually receive the content that is being executed on the digital device, and also experience the tactile experience through the insole.

On the other hand, steps S510 to S530 may be performed in reverse order. In this case, when the content is being executed in the digital device, a control signal for generating the haptic feedback experienced by the character included in the running content can be generated. The digital device also transmits a control signal of the insole to the insole, and the insole can provide haptic feedback to the user in accordance with the received control signal. Next, the insole can sense the input signal and transmit the sensed input signal to the digital device. In this case, the insole can control the content being executed according to the received input signal.

Also, steps S510 through S530 may be repeatedly performed to control the content running on the digital device through the input signal sensed in the insole. In addition, the above-described embodiment can be applied not only to a soccer game, but also to various games using feet such as a foot ball, a marathon, and the like.

6 is a diagram illustrating an example of performing calibration between an insole and a digital device associated with the present invention.

In order to accurately and detailly control the content that is executed in the digital device 200 using the input signal sensed at the insole 100, the digital device 200 determines the distance between the insole 100 and the digital device 200, It is possible to measure the position of the optical fiber 100.

In this case, the digital device 200 may include a sensor bar 400 to measure the position or distance of the insole 100. Here, the sensor bar 400 may be connected to the digital device 100 wirelessly or by wire. The sensor bar 400 may measure the distance between the insole 100 and the digital device 200 or the position of the insole 100 so that the input signal sensed by the insole 100 may be accurately measured. In this regard, the digital device 200 may perform calibration between the insole 100 and the digital device 200 whenever the game content being executed in the digital device 200 is provided.

For example, the digital device 200 may calculate the distance between the insole 100 and the digital device 200 by triangulation. Triangulation is a method of calculating the coordinates and distance of a point using the properties of a triangle. That is, when one point and two reference points are given, it corresponds to a method of calculating coordinates and distance to one point by measuring the angle formed by the base and the other two sides in the triangle formed by one point and two reference points.

The digital device 200 is capable of measuring the distance between the digital device 200 and the insole 100 based on two reference points 410 and 420 and one reference point 430 of the insole 100 have. For example, the two reference points 410 and 420 of the digital device 200 may correspond to two LEDs included in the digital device 200. [ 6, the two reference points 410 and 420 of the digital device 200 may correspond to two LEDs provided in the sensor bar 200 connected to the digital device 200. For example, have. In addition, one reference point 430 provided in the insole 100 may correspond to the IR sensor of the insole 100. In this way, the digital device 200 can measure the distance between the insole 100 and the digital device 200.

6, if the user 600 is standing or sitting at the digital device 200 with the insole 100 worn, the digital device 200 can be calibrated to the digital device 200 200) and the insole (100).

If the measured distance between the insole 100 and the digital device 200 is within a preset range, the digital device 200 may use the input signal sensed by the insole 100 to transmit the content Can be controlled. For example, a predetermined range of the distance between the insole 100 and the digital device 200 may correspond to 1 m to 3 m.

In addition, the digital device 200 may provide a visual guide, voice guidance, and the like to allow the user to move a distance within a predetermined range if the measured distance between the insole 100 and the digital device 200 is outside a predetermined range have.

7 is a diagram illustrating an example of controlling a digital device according to an input signal sensed in an insole associated with the present invention.

More specifically, FIG. 7 shows an embodiment of controlling game contents through an input signal sensed by an insole when sports game contents are being executed in a digital device. In this embodiment, it is assumed that, in the relationship between the digital device and the insoles, the digital device is the main device.

The user 700 can use sports game contents in the digital device 200 while wearing the insole 100. [ In particular, since the insole 100 senses the movement of the foot, it can be used in game contents such as soccer, foot ball, or the like using foot in a sports game. The embodiment of FIG. 7 assumes that the user 700 is using a soccer game.

When the soccer game is executed, the user 700 can select the character 710 corresponding to the user in the soccer game. In this case, the character 710 corresponding to the user in the soccer game can be controlled in accordance with the movement of the insole 100 provided in the shoe worn by the user 700. [

In the embodiment of FIG. 7, the user 700 is assumed to be in a situation where the ball attempts to pass the ball using the inside kick in the soccer game. The user 700 can perform a gesture to move the left foot forward while wearing the shoe provided with the insole 100. [ In this case, the insole 100 may sense the gesture input based on at least one of the acceleration sensor and the gyro sensor. Here, the gesture input may include velocity, direction, acceleration, distance, intensity, etc. of the insole 100. In addition, the insole 100 may send the sensed gesture input to the digital device 200.

In this case, the digital device 200 can control, according to the received gesture input, to perform a gesture in which the character 710 corresponding to the user moves forward with the left foot. In this case, the digital device 200 can control the character 710 to perform a kicker based on the speed, direction, acceleration, distance, intensity, etc. of the insole 100 worn by the user.

The digital device 200 may also generate a control signal to give the user 700 a feeling of kicking the ball, while controlling the character to perform a kick with the left foot. Here, the control signal may correspond to a tactile control signal for generating vibration.

At this time, based on the input signal sensed in the insole 100, the digital device 200 can determine the position and intensity of the tactile control signal. For example, the position of the tactile control signal may correspond to a position of a module that outputs tactile data among a plurality of haptic modules provided in the insole 100. The intensity of the tactile control signal may correspond to dividing the intensity of vibration generated in the haptic module outputting the tactile data among the plurality of haptic modules provided in the insole 100 into several levels. For example, in the embodiment of FIG. 7, the digital device 200 may generate a tactile control signal that generates a vibration signal corresponding to step 5 of 10 in a haptic module located at the upper end of the insole 100 . The digital device 200 may also transmit the generated tactile control signal to the insole 100.

In this case, the insole 100 may provide tactile feedback in accordance with the received tactile control signal. For example, in the embodiment of FIG. 7, the insole 100 may generate vibration for a predetermined time with five levels of intensity in the haptic module located at the top. As a result, the user can experience a feeling of being actually kicked by the vibration even though the player does not actually hit the ball.

Similar to the above-described embodiment, the digital device 200 can control the character 710 corresponding to the user by sensing various operations for the soccer game in the insole 100 in addition to the passing operation.

7, the position information of the insole 100 worn by the user 700 in the sensor bar 400 connected to the digital device 200 may be transmitted to the digital device 200 (not shown in FIG. 7) 200). In this case, the digital device 200 can control the character 710 corresponding to the user to move left and right.

Figures 8 and 9 show an embodiment of a method of controlling an insole in accordance with an input signal sensed in a digital device when the insole and the digital device are paired. In the embodiment of Figures 8 and 9, it is assumed that the insole and the digital device are in a paired state.

8 is a flowchart showing a method of controlling an insole and a digital device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Each of the steps of FIG. 8 to be described below can be controlled by the control unit of the insole shown in FIG. 1 and the control unit of the digital device shown in FIG.

Although not shown in Fig. 8, before step S810, the digital device can execute the content. Here, the content to be executed may correspond to content that can be controlled so that a user who wears the shoes with the insole experiences vibration. For example, the content to be executed may include sporting content where tapping positions such as tap dancing, golf, bowling, etc. are important.

First, the digital device can sense the input signal (S810). Here, the input signal may correspond to the input applied by the user to control the executed content. For example, the input signal may include a touch input, a voice input, a fingerprint input, a face recognition input, and the like. In addition, the input signal may correspond to various touch inputs such as a short touch input, a long touch input, and a drag touch input.

Next, the digital device can control the running content according to the sensed input signal and generate a control signal of the insole (S820). As an example, the digital device may display content corresponding to the input signal on the display unit, according to the sensed input signal. For example, the digital device may execute lower contents of the running content according to the sensed input signal. Further, as another example, the digital device may generate a control signal that outputs tactile data at the insole in accordance with the sensed input signal. Here, it is assumed that the tactile data is the same as the tactile data described in Fig. In addition, the digital device can transmit the generated control signal to the insole.

Next, the insole can output the tactile data in accordance with the received control signal (S830). Here, the tactile data may indicate generating vibrations in at least one of the plurality of haptic modules provided in the insole to train the movement of the foot. In addition, the insole can output the tactile data from the insole when the visual data is output to the display unit in the digital device. This allows the user to be provided with a tactile guide as well as a visual guide displayed on the digital device, in content related to the movement of the foot. In addition, the user can receive a visual guide and a tactile guide at the same time, thereby improving the efficiency of education.

Although not shown in FIG. 8, in the embodiment of FIG. 8, the insole further senses the input signal and can transmit the sensed input signal to the digital device. For example, the input signal may correspond to an action in a training video related to the motion of the foot displayed on the display unit of the digital device. In this case, the digital device may analyze the movement of the user's foot based on the received input signal, and display the result on the display unit.

9 is a diagram illustrating an example of controlling an insole according to an input signal sensed in a digital device related to the present invention. More specifically, FIG. 9 shows an embodiment of virtual training a user with a control signal generated in a digital device when tap dancing instructional content is being executed in a digital device.

The user can use the tap dance training contents in the digital device 200 while wearing the insole 100. [ First, when executing the tap dance training contents 910, the digital device 200 may display an interface through which the user can set the lower contents to be trained. For example, as shown in Fig. 9 (a), the digital device 200 has an interface for selecting the step type of the tap dance, the intensity of the tactile signal generated in the insole, and the type of tap dance music Can be displayed.

Next, the digital device 200 is able to sense the input signal 920. Here, the input signal 920 may correspond to an input for setting a detailed item of the tap dance training contents. For example, the input signal may be performed by various input means such as voice input, gesture input, touch input, and the like. In the embodiment of FIG. 9, the input signal 1010 may correspond to a short-touch input.

In this case, as shown in FIG. 9 (b), the digital device 200 can display the tap dance training video 930 on the display unit. That is, the digital device 200 may provide a visual guide for tap dance training on the display unit. This allows the user to practice tap dancing while watching the visual guide.

Also, the digital device 200 may generate a control signal at the insole for tap dancing training. Here, the control signal may include a position of a tactile signal provided from a plurality of haptic modules provided in the insole, a strength of the tactile signal, a pattern of a tactile signal using a plurality of haptic modules, and the like. In the embodiment of FIG. 9, the haptic modules of the upper end portion 942 and the lower end portion 941 of the plurality of haptic modules are mainly used for tap dancing. In addition, the digital device 200 may transmit the generated control signal to the insole 100.

Insole 100 may provide tactile feedback in accordance with the received control signal. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 9 (c), the insole 100 uses a haptic module located mainly at the upper end portion 942 and the lower end portion 941 of the plurality of haptic modules, Lt; RTI ID = 0.0 > tile < / RTI > This allows the user to realistically recognize the portion of the actual foot that must touch the floor for the tap dance step.

Although not shown in FIG. 9, when a user is provided with a visual guide and a tactile guide and performs a tap dance operation in a state in which the footwear having the insole 100 is actually worn, The tap dance operation can be sensed as the gesture input. In addition, the insole 100 may send the sensed gesture input to the digital device 200.

In this case, the digital device 200 may analyze the tap dance operation of the user to provide a guide as to whether the user's tap dance operation is being performed correctly. For example, the digital device 200 may provide a visual guide based on the user's tap dancing operation on the display unit. Further, for example, the digital device 200 may generate and transmit a control signal to the insole 100 to provide a tactile guide based on the user's tap dance operation.

Meanwhile, the embodiment of FIG. 9 can be applied not only to the tap dance training contents, but also to the education contents for the exercise in which golf, bowling, etc. are important. In addition, although not shown in FIG. 9, the insole 100 may be linked to a TV in addition to the digital device 200 such as a smart phone, and may provide tap dancing training for a user as a visual guide.

Figures 10-14 illustrate an implementation of a method for controlling an insole in accordance with an input signal sensed in at least one of a first digital device and a second digital device when the insole, the first digital device, and the second digital device are paired. Yes. In the embodiments of Figs. 10-14, it is assumed that the insole, the first digital device, and the second digital device are in a paired state.

10 is a flowchart showing a method of controlling an insole and a digital device according to an embodiment of the present invention. 10 described below can be controlled by the control unit of the insole shown in Fig. 1 and the control unit of the digital device shown in Fig.

In the embodiment of FIG. 10, it is assumed that the first digital device of the insole, the first digital device, and the second digital device is the main device, and controls the insole and the second digital device. For example, the first digital device may include various devices such as an external server, a mobile terminal, and a TV.

First, the second digital device can sense the input signal (S1010). Here, the input signal may include an input sensed by various input means such as a voice input, a touch input, a gesture input, and the like. In addition, the second digital device may transmit the sensed input signal to the first digital device.

Next, the first digital device can generate a control signal of the insole according to the received input signal (S1020). Also, the first digital device can transmit the generated control signal to the insole. Here, it is assumed that the control signal of the insole is the same as the control signal of the insole described in Fig. At this time, the first digital device may execute or control predetermined content according to the received input signal.

Next, the insole may receive the control signal from the first digital device and output the tactile data according to the received control signal (S1030). That is, the insole can output the vibration to the insole worn by the user in accordance with the received control signal. For example, the received control signal may include information about a position, an intensity, a pattern, and the like of the haptic module in which vibration is generated among the plurality of haptic modules provided in the insole. In addition, the insole may output tactile data when predetermined content is displayed in the second digital device.

11 is a diagram illustrating an example of controlling an insole according to an input signal sensed in a digital device related to the present invention. More specifically, FIG. 11 shows an embodiment in which time information is provided to the players through the insole during the orchestra concert.

Although only five performers are shown in the embodiment of Fig. 11, it is assumed that there are actually dozens of performers of the orchestra. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 11, one player is shown wearing a shoe having an insole. However, it is assumed that all performers belonging to the orchestra wear shoes equipped with an insole.

First, the digital device can sense the underlying signal to generate time signature information. As an example, as shown in FIG. 11, the conductor 1100 may carry the baton and command the music. Here, the baton 1110 is a type of the digital device described above with reference to FIG. 3, and may include a communication unit, a sensing unit, and a control unit. Thus, the baton 1110 can sense the input signal and transmit the sensed input signal to the main device. For example, the baton 1110 may sense the movement of the hand of the conductor 1100 as at least one of the gyro sensor and the acceleration sensor, and transmit it to the main device.

As another example, as shown in FIG. 11, the conductor 1100 may conduct music with the smart watch or armband 1120 worn. Here, the armband 1120 is a kind of the digital device described above with reference to FIG. 3, and may include a communication unit, a sensing unit, and a control unit. Thus, the armband 1120 can sense the input signal and transmit the sensed input signal to the main device. For example, the armband 1120 may sense movement of the arm of the conductor 1100 with a gyro sensor or an acceleration sensor and transmit the motion to the main device.

Here, the main device (not shown) may receive the sensed gesture input at bat 1110 or at the armband 1120. In addition, the main device (not shown) may generate a control signal of the insole in accordance with the received gesture input. More specifically, the main device (not shown) may analyze the beat information of the music directed by the conductor according to the received gesture input, and may generate a control signal of the insole based on the analyzed beat information. Here, the main device (not shown) may be an external server, a smart phone, a tablet PC, a PDA (personal digital assistant), a smart TV, or the like,

In addition, the main device (not shown) may transmit the generated control signal to the insole 100 of the player 1200. In addition, the insole 100 can output tactile data in accordance with the received control signal. Here, the tactile data may correspond to vibration notifications for the beat of the music currently being played by the performer 1200. The vibration representing the beat will be described with reference to Fig.

12 is a diagram showing an example of outputting tactile data in the insole associated with the present invention.

As described above with reference to Fig. 11, the insole 100 can output tactile data in accordance with a control signal received from the main device. Here, the tactile data may be output using a plurality of haptic modules provided in the insole 100. For example, the insole 100 may generate vibrations differently with respect to the position of the haptic module where vibrations occur with respect to the beat of the music being played. In addition, for example, the insole 100 may generate vibration by varying a pattern in which vibrations occur in at least one haptic module, depending on the type of beat of music being played. Here, the pattern may include not only the order of vibration but also the speed at which vibration occurs. In addition, for example, the insole 100 may generate vibration by varying the intensity at which vibrations occur in at least one haptic module, depending on the type of beat of the music being played.

Referring to the embodiment of FIG. 12 (a), the insole 1210 is configured to generate vibrations in order in the haptic module located at the top 51 and bottom 54 of the plurality of haptic modules, Tack tile data can be output. 12 (b), the insole 1210 is positioned at the upper end 51, the lower left end 55 and the lower right end 53 of the plurality of haptic modules in the case of 3/4 time The tactile data can be output to generate vibration according to a predetermined pattern in the haptic module. For example, the predetermined pattern may correspond to the order of the upper end 51, the lower left end 55, and the lower right end 53 of the plurality of haptic modules.

12 (c), the insole 1210 has an upper end portion 51, a left upper end portion 56, a right upper end portion 52, and a lower right end portion among a plurality of haptic modules in the case of a 4/4 beat. The tactile data generating vibration according to a predetermined pattern in the haptic module located at the lower end portion 54 can be output. For example, the predetermined pattern may correspond to the order of the upper end portion 51, the upper left end portion 56, the lower end portion 54, and the upper right end 52 of the plurality of haptic modules.

Referring again to FIG. 11, the insole 1210 may output tactile data as described above. In this case, since the beat is transmitted only through the insole 1210, the audience listening to the performance can not know that the beat information is provided by the vibration in the insole 1210.

Also, in the case of this embodiment, the performers can receive accurate beat information sensed through the baton or the armband through the insole when it is difficult for the performer to observe the baton by watching the baton conduct as a baton.

13 is a diagram illustrating an example of controlling an insole according to an input signal sensed in a digital device related to the present invention. More specifically, FIG. 13 shows an embodiment of providing beat information to performers through an insole during an orchestra concert.

The embodiment of FIG. 13 differs from the embodiment of FIG. 11 in that an input signal sensed by an insole 1130 of a conductor 1100 is directly transmitted to an insole 100 of a performer 1200. As described above with reference to FIG. 1, since the insole includes the control unit, it can sense the input signal at the insole itself, generate the control signal, and output tactile data from the insole of another user.

First, the conductor 1100 can perform not only conducting music with a baton but also moving the heel up and down while wearing shoes equipped with the insole 1120 as shown in FIG. 13 . Insole 1120 can also sense gestures moving up and down.

Next, the insole 1130 can determine the beat of the currently playing music according to the sensed gesture. Thus, the insole 1130 can generate a control signal to be provided to the insole 100 of the player 1200 according to the beat of the music being played. In addition, the insole 1130 can transmit a control signal to the insole 1210 of the player 1200 in play.

In this case, the insole 100 of the performer 1200 can output tactile data in accordance with the received control signal. That is, the player 1200 can easily recognize the beat of the music currently being played according to the vibration generated in the insole 100. In the embodiment of FIG. 13, it is assumed that the tactile data indicating the beat of the music currently being played is the same as described above in FIG.

That is, through the embodiment shown in FIG. 13, even if a separate main device is not provided, the conductor can provide the player with the correct beats of the currently playing music through data transmission / reception between the in-soles.

14 is a diagram showing an example of controlling an insole according to an input signal sensed in a digital device related to the present invention. More specifically, FIG. 14 shows an embodiment in which, when a user wearing a shoe provided with an insole watches a sporting event on the TV, the movement of a specific player selected by the user is provided in the insole.

The user 1400 can view a sporting event through the first digital device 1430 while wearing the insole 100. [ In the embodiment of Fig. 14, the sporting event the user is viewing may correspond to a soccer match.

Referring to FIG. 14 (a), in the soccer game, the insole 1410 may be provided in the shoes worn by the athletes. Thus, the insole 1410 may sense the gesture input, including the movement of the player, and transmit it to an external server (not shown). Here, it is assumed that the external server is one of the digital devices described in Figs. 3 and 4. Also, the external server can analyze the movement of the athlete from the received input signal. The external server may also generate a control signal to provide to the insole from the movement of the player. For example, the control signal to be provided to the insole may correspond to a vibration representing the foot motion of the athlete.

On the other hand, the user 1440 may not only visually view the soccer game, but may also want to actually feel the player's movement as the user 1440 likes. 14 (b), the user 1440 may select a particular player to receive tactile data from the second digital device 1420. [ That is, when the second digital device 1420 senses the input signal of the user, the second digital device 1420 can transmit the sensed input signal to the external server.

When an external server (not shown) receives an input signal, it may send a control signal for the selected particular player to the insole 100 of the user 1400. Here, the control signal for a specific player may correspond to a signal that generates vibration in at least one of a plurality of haptic modules provided in the insole.

Thus, as shown in Fig. 14 (c), the insole 100 can output tactile data based on the received control signal. In other words, the insole 100 can provide the vibration of the foot of a specific player selected by the user 1400 using a plurality of haptic modules. In addition, while the first digital device 1430 outputs visual data, the insole 100 can output tactile data. Therefore, through the embodiment of FIG. 14, the user can experience the moment when the soccer players actually move and hit the ball while watching the soccer game in real time on the TV, wearing shoes equipped with the insole.

Although not shown in FIG. 14, when a user watches a sports game on the TV in real time as well as when watching an athletic game on an actual stadium, when a user wears an insole-equipped shoe, Can be experienced through insole.
