Intelligent footwear systems

This invention describes smart shoes that can automatically change how they feel or perform. They use sensors to measure a wearer's athletic performance and characteristics of the shoe itself. A built-in computer system then monitors this data to make adjustments without human input, potentially using a connected portable electronic device.

Why it matters: Filed before widespread smartphone adoption. Today's phones offer powerful processing, advanced sensors, and efficient wireless connectivity (Bluetooth LE) to offload complex computations and control from the shoe itself, making the 'portable electronic device' aspect much more feasible and powerful.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: ModerateSensors, actuators, miniaturized control, durable integration
