This configuration can, for example, prevent a communication function of the secondelectronic module 4 that performs at least a part of the communication function from being disturbed by presence of a foot. Further, the second electronic module can be prevented from being loaded by a foot. As a result, the insole-type electronic device with high communication performance and high reliability can be provided. -
FIG. 2 is a top view illustrating an insole-typeelectronic device 100 according to the present example embodiment. As illustrated in the figure, the insole-typeelectronic device 100 includes a sheet-shapedinsole body 10 to be placed on a midsole in a shoe and anextension portion 20 being connected to theinsole body 10 and being wound on an instep during wearing the insole-typeelectronic device 100. The insole-typeelectronic device 100 also includes amain module 30 being incorporated in theinsole body 10, anextension module 40 being incorporated in theextension portion 20, and awiring 50 that electrically connects themain module 30 and theextension module 40 to each other. - For the
insole body 10, a material having elasticity and flexibility such as rubber, polyurethane, polyester, leather, and wool can be used, for example. Theextension portion 20 can also be configured using a similar material. -
FIG. 2 illustrates an example in which themain module 30 includes acontrol unit 31, abattery 32, and asensor 33, and theextension module 40 includes alocation detection unit 41, acommunication unit 42, and apower generation element 43. However, the present example embodiment is not limited to this example, and each module does not necessarily need to include the above components and may include another electronic circuit. The extension module may include, for example, an antenna of which communication performance deteriorates due to shielding by a human body (foot), an electronic component being vulnerable to a load, and the like. - The
location detection unit 41 is a circuit that detects a location by a method such as a GPS, three-point positioning by wireless communication, or pedestrian dead reckoning (PDR). - The
communication unit 42 is an electronic circuit that includes an antenna and transmits and receives wireless communication, for example. - The
power generation element 43 is an element that generates power from heat, light, a radio wave, pressure, vibration, friction, and the like. - The
control unit 31 controls thelocation detection unit 41, thecommunication unit 42, and thesensor 33 and performs location detection processing, processing based on data acquired by thesensor 33, control of communication, and the like. - For example, when the insole-type
electronic device 100 is used as a watching device, thelocation detection unit 41 receives a location detection signal, thecontrol unit 31 calculates a current location, and the calculated current location is wirelessly transmitted to an externally provided watching server. - The
wiring 50 is a conductor that electrically connects theinsole body 10 and theextension portion 20 across a connection portion. A type of thewiring 50 is not particularly limited as long as thewiring 50 has flexibility, however it is preferable to use a flexible flat cable that is small in size and has high durability against repeated bending. - As described above, the present example embodiment is able to provide the insole-type electronic device having high communication performance and high reliability by placing, in the extension portion, a communication module of which communication performance deteriorates due to shielding by a human body and an electronic component being vulnerable to a load.
- As described according to the second example embodiment, a
wiring 50 passes through a connection portion between aninsole body 10 and anextension portion 20, however stress is generated at the connection portion between theinsole body 10 and theextension portion 20 when a user wears a device and the like. The present example embodiment describes a configuration in which thewiring 50 is less likely to be damaged by the stress. -
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view illustrating one example of a section at an A-A′ cutting plane inFIG. 2 . In the example ofFIG. 3 , acavity 21 is provided in aconnection portion 11, and thewiring 50 is passed through thecavity 21. In a case where thewiring 50 is placed through thecavity 21, thewiring 50 can be bent independently of the connection portion when theconnection portion 11 is deformed, and thus stress can be prevented from being concentrated on thewiring 50. Note that, a structure of thecavity 21 can be, for example, a slit shape in such a way as not to affect a size of the device. Further, both ends of the slit may be rounded in order to prevent the slit from tearing. -
FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view illustrating another method for preventing stress from concentrating on awiring 50 in aconnection portion 11 between aninsole body 10 and anextension portion 20. Theconnection portion 11 according to the present example embodiment has acavity 21 similarly to the second example embodiment. Thewiring 50 in thecavity 21 has aredundant portion 51. Herein, redundancy of theredundant portion 51 means that, when a force is applied to thewiring 50, theredundant portion 51 has an extra length to turn aside the force. -
FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram illustrating a specific example of theredundant portion 51. Each redundant portion is provided in thecavity 21. Theredundant portion 51 a inFIG. 5(a) has a structure in which the wiring repeatedly bends in a bellows shape. With this structure, even though thewiring 50 receives expansion/contraction force, the force can be turned aside without tension being applied to thewiring 50. In theredundant portion 51 b inFIG. 5(b) , thewiring 50 has a spiral shape. With this structure, it is possible to prevent tension from being applied to thewiring 50 similarly toFIG. 5(a) . Further, in theredundant portion 51 c inFIG. 5(c) , thewiring 50 has a loose shape. With this structure, it is possible to prevent tension from being applied to thewiring 50 similarly toFIGS. 5(a) and (b) . - A purpose of the present example embodiment is to protect a
wiring 50 in aconnection portion 11 similarly to the fourth example embodiment.FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of theconnection portion 11 illustrating a configuration of the present example embodiment. Theconnection portion 11 has acavity 21. A splint-like reinforcingmember 52 is joined to thewiring 50 in theconnection portion 11. Even though tension is applied to thewiring 50, thewiring 50 itself is not damaged by an action of the reinforcingmember 52. Theredundant portion 51 according to the fourth example embodiment may be provided on an outside of the reinforcingmember 52. - A purpose of the present example embodiment is to protect a
wiring 50 in aconnection portion 11 similarly to the fourth and fifth example embodiments.FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view of theconnection portion 11 illustrating a configuration of the present example embodiment. Thewiring 50 has arigid substrate 60 with wiring in theconnection portion 11. Then, thewiring 50 on a side of aninsole body 10 and thewiring 50 on a side of anextension portion 20 are each connected to therigid substrate 60 and are electrically connected to one another. Therigid substrate 60 enhances strength of a place where deformation occurs, and thus thewiring 50 in theconnection portion 11 is hardly disconnected. In the example inFIG. 7 ,cavities connection portions rigid substrate 60 and thewiring 50. Thewiring 50 can be bent independently in thecavities connection portions insole body 10 and anextension portion 20. As a result, when a housing is bent, bending stress can be received while being distributed to the material of theinsole body 10 and theextension portion 20, and thus the stress concentration on the connection portions between an electric wire and the substrate can be reduced. -
FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view illustrating another specific example using therigid substrate 60. In theconnection portion 11 inFIG. 8 , thewiring 50 is connected to therigid substrate 60, and thewiring 50 outside theconnection portions redundant portions redundant portions cavity 21 and tension is turned aside, thereby disconnection of thewiring 50 and theconnection portions - The present example embodiment describes a specific example of an extension portion.
FIG. 9 is a perspective view illustrating aninsole body 10 and anextension portion 20 a. The description of a module and a wiring is omitted. As illustrated inFIG. 9 , theextension portion 20 a has an arched structure covering an instep. In this structure, theextension portion 20 a is supported from both side surfaces of theinsole body 10. Thereby, when an elastic material is used as a material of theextension portion 20 a, a weight of theextension portion 20 a can be supported by itself. Thus, it is possible to prevent theextension portion 20 a from hanging down on the instep portion and reduce displacement of theextension portion 20 a during wearing an insole-type electronic device. In addition, a circuit between theinsole body 10 and theextension portion 20 a can be formed from both side surfaces, and thus a degree of freedom in wiring is increased. -
FIG. 10 is a perspective view illustrating another example of an extension portion. The description of a module and a wiring is omitted. As illustrated inFIG. 10 , anextension portions insole body 10 in this example. It is desirable that the twoextension portions FIG. 11 illustrates a specific example of a structure that prevents displacement. InFIG. 11(a) , theextension portion 20 b on one side has a plurality ofholes 22 and theextension portion 20 c on another side has a plurality of protrusions 23. By fitting each of the protrusions 23 into each of theholes 22, the twoextension portions FIG. 11(b) , theextension portion 20 b on one side has a plurality ofgrooves 24, and theextension portion 20 c on another side has a plurality ofridges 25 that fit into thegrooves 24. By fitting each of theridges 25 into each of thegrooves 14 at any position, the twoextension portions - Further, another example of the configuration that prevents an extension portion from hanging down due to the own weight is illustrated in a perspective view of
FIG. 12 . In this example, in addition to thesame insole body 10 and theextension portion 20 as inFIG. 2 , acore material 26 is embedded across a joint portion between theinsole body 10 and anextension portion 20 d. A material of thecore material 26 is not particularly limited, however highly rigid resin, metal, a shape memory material, or the like can be used. As a characteristic of the shape memory material, a material that becomes a memorized shape at a temperature of around a human body temperature is suitable. - Further, another example of the configuration that prevents an extension portion from hanging down due to the own weight is illustrated in a perspective view of
FIG. 13 . In this example, in addition to thesame insole body 10 and theextension portion 20 as inFIG. 2 , anextension portion 20 e has ashoelace hole 27. Theextension portion 20 e can be fastened to an upper part of a shoe by passing ashoelace 200 through theshoelace hole 27 of theextension portion 20 e. A structure of theshoelace hole 27 is not particularly limited, however a round hole, a square hole, a slit, or the like can be used. An edge portion of theshoelace hole 27 can be made hard to tear by thickening a base material of theextension portion 20 e. Further, a structure of theextension portion 20 e can be used for both cases in which an extension portion is formed from one side and in which the extension portion is formed from both sides. - As described above, according to the present example embodiment, it is possible to prevent the extension portion from hanging down on the instep portion and reduce displacement of the extension portion during wearing the insole-type electronic device.
- The present example embodiment describes a method for mounting a
main module 30 in aninsole body 10.FIG. 14 is a plan view illustrating a state in which themain module 30 including acircuit substrate 31 is mounted in a plantar arch portion of theinsole body 10. In this structure, it is preferable that thecircuit substrate 31 has flexibility in order to cope with bending of theinsole body 10, and, for example, a flexible substrate, a rigid flexible substrate, or a structure in which the flexible substrate is connected by a small connector can be used. -
FIG. 15 is a cross-sectional view at a B-B′ inFIG. 14 . Various configurations can be used for mounting themain module 30.FIGS. 15(a) to (d) illustrates a specific example of the mounting method.FIG. 15(a) is a cross-sectional view illustrating a structure in which thecircuit substrate 31 and abattery 32 are attached to a surface of theinsole body 10. Thecircuit substrate 31 may be attached to the surface of theinsole body 10 and then covered with a sheet material having flexibility in order to protect thecircuit substrate 31, although not illustrated in the figure. A direction in which a substrate is attached is not limited to either a ground side or a foot side. - In
FIG. 15(b) , arecess 12 is provided at a place of an insole base material where a substrate is attached, and thecircuit substrate 31 and thebattery 32 are placed in therecess 12. In this way, it is possible to prevent the substrate from protruding from the insole base material. -
FIG. 15(c) is a cross-sectional view illustrating an example in which alid 13 is provided on an upper portion of therecess 12 in addition to the configuration inFIG. 15(b) . With this configuration, thecircuit substrate 31 can be protected by thelid 13. Further, when thelid 13 is removed, thecircuit substrate 31 can be easily taken out, and thus battery replacement and an inspection of a device are facilitated. -
FIG. 15(d) is a cross-sectional view illustrating a structure in which thecircuit substrate 31 and thebattery 32 are covered with aprotective material 34 and then mounted in theinsole body 10. By using this structure, it is possible to protect a component that requires strength and waterproofness. A material of theprotective material 34 is not particularly limited, however, resin, metal, or the like can be used in consideration of strength and waterproofness. -
FIG. 16 is a plan view illustrating a configuration in which components of themain module 30 are directly embedded in theinsole body 10 without being mounted on thecircuit substrate 31. When the components are mounted directly in theinsole body 10, awiring 50 is formed at least on a surface of theinsole body 10. However, inFIG. 16 , the description of thewiring 50 is omitted. When the components are mounted here, the components are exposed, and thus it is desirable to cover the surface. As a structure for covering the surface, a structure in which the same material as theinsole body 10 is covered over the mounted components can be used. - Further, when bending force is applied to the
insole body 10, stress is applied to a component mounting portion. Thus, the mounting direction of the component is preferably set in such a way that a longitudinal direction of theinsole body 10 and a longitudinal direction of the component are perpendicular to each other, and thereby the bending stress in the longitudinal direction of the component mounting portion is reduced when theinsole body 10 is bent. -
FIG. 17 is a plan view illustrating a configuration in which themain module 30 is divided into threeunits wiring 52, and covered with aprotective material 14. When themain module 30 becomes large in the longitudinal direction of theinsole body 10, themain module 30 receives large bending stress due to the bending of a shoe during walking. Themain module 30 is divided in order to reduce the stress caused by bending. In this case, the number of divisions, size, distribution of the components, and the like are not particularly limited. -
FIG. 18 is a perspective view illustrating an example in which themain module 30 is placed in aheel cup 10 a when theinsole body 10 has theheel cup 10 a extending upward from a rear end portion of a heel. By using this structure, a thickness of theinsole body 10 can be reduced compared with the case where themain module 30 is mounted in a foot sole portion of theinsole body 10. This configuration enhances wearability. Further, theheel cup 10 a is less likely to be loaded by weight than the foot sole portion, and thus the component can be protected. - The present example embodiment describes a method for manufacturing an insole-type electronic device. First, from a sheet-shaped material, an insole body is molded according to a shape of a foot. Next, an extension portion is molded in an arch shape covering an instep from one side or both sides of the insole body.
- When a cavity is provided as described according to the third example embodiment, it is easy to manufacture the cavity by sticking two pre-molded members together. One example is illustrated in
FIG. 19 . InFIG. 19 , alower portion 10 b of the insole body and anupper portion 10 c of the insole body are stuck together. At this time, acavity 21 is formed in thelower portion 10 b of the insole body. In the example inFIG. 19 , amain module 30 is placed in aninsole body 10, anextension module 40 is placed in anextension portion 20, and themain module 30 and theextension module 40 are connected by awiring 50. In addition, aredundant portion 51 is provided in a portion corresponding to the portion of thecavity 21 in thewiring 50. Note that, the above configuration is one example, and other methods such as a method of directly enclosing a component and a circuit substrate at the time of molding or a method of mounting a component in a component mounting space provided in theinsole body 10 can be used. - Next, the
lower portion 10 b of the insole body and theupper portion 10 c of the insole body are joined by a method such as gluing or fixing with a fastener. Then, the completedextension portion 20 is curved to the instep side. - While the invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, the invention is not limited to these embodiments. It will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the claims.
