Abstract: A shoe includes: a heel portion; a toe portion; a sole portion; and an electrical assembly. The electrical assembly includes at least: a magnetometer configured to determine a direction of movement of the shoe; and an accelerometer configured to determine acceleration of the shoe. Direction and acceleration data are used to generate a display of a map indicating traversal of a route by a wearer of the shoe at user interface of a user device.

Abstract: A fitness tracking system includes a shoe, a monitoring device, and a controller. The monitoring device is mounted on the shoe and includes an accelerometer configured to generate acceleration data corresponding to acceleration of a foot received by the shoe. The controller is operably connected to the accelerometer and is configured to collect sampled acceleration data by sampling the generated acceleration data, to identify foot strike data of the sampled acceleration data, to identify a local minimum of the sampled acceleration data collected prior to the foot strike data, and to determine foot strike characteristic data corresponding to the foot strike data based on an acceleration value at the local minimum.

Abstract: An aspect of the present invention is drawn to a patch for use with application against the skin of a user. The patch includes a substrate, a material detector, a memory, a comparator, an output component, and a power source. The material detector is disposed on the substrate and has a contact portion disposed so as to contact the skin. The material detector generates a material signal based on the amount of material contacting the contact portion. The memory has a priori material data stored within. The comparator outputs a compared signal based on the comparison of the material signal and the a priori material data. The output component outputs a readiness signal based on the compared signal and the a priori data. The power source provides power to the output component.

Abstract: A shoe is provided for use by a user and for use with a communication device that transmits a blood pressure signal based on a detected blood pressure of the user. The shoe includes a sole, a force actuating mechanism, a receiver and a controller. The sole has a top surface for supporting the foot of the user when being worn by the user. The force actuating mechanism provides a force normal to the top surface of the sole and is disposed at the sole so as to provide the force to a plantar venous plexus of the foot. The receiver receives the blood pressure signal. The controller generates a control signal to control the force actuating mechanism. The controller further modifies the control signal based on the received blood pressure signal.

Abstract: A fitness tracking system includes a shoe, a magnetometer, and a controller. The magnetometer is mounted on the shoe and is configured to generate three-axis direction data in response to movement of the shoe during a predetermined time period. The controller is operably connected to the magnetometer and is configured to generate two-axis calibrated direction data based on the three-axis direction data after the predetermined time period. The two-axis calibrated direction data corresponds to an orientation of the shoe during the predetermined time period.

Abstract: A method of operating a fitness tracking system includes generating movement data corresponding to movement of a user, sampling the generated movement data at a first sampling rate as first sampled data when operating the fitness tracking system in an activity detection mode, and sampling the generated movement data at a second sampling rate as second sampled data when operating the fitness tracking system in a workout mode. The second sampling rate is greater than the first sampling rate.

Abstract: A fitness tracking system includes a receiver to obtain geolocation data. A method is used to determine the quality of the geolocation data by analyzing the dispersion of the geolocation coordinates during the user fitness activity. The geolocation data is used for calculating exercise metrics and displaying fitness activity when the geolocation data quality satisfies the data quality criteria.
