First Claim
1. A computer system, comprising:
- a Web site and/or a cloud array of computers;
wherein the computer system is configured to have a connection to a smartphone or other mobile computer device and the computer system is configured to use the smartphone or other mobile computer device and the connection to control a configuration of;
one or more computer-controlled bladders, compartments, chambers and internal sipes located in at least a heel area of a footwear sole or a removable inner sole insert of both shoes or other footwear of a user of the smartphone or other mobile computer device; and
wherein the computer system is further configured to use the smartphone or other mobile computer device and the connection to;
transmit data to the computer system for storage and/or shared or independent processing and/or analysis,process data received from one or more sensors located in either one or both of the sole or the removable inner sole insert of the smartphone or other mobile computer device user, and from at least one sensor located in, on, or near a center of gravity of the smartphone or other mobile computer device user,use at least the processed data to alter the configuration of the one or more bladders, compartments, chambers and internal sipes of the smartphone or other mobile computer device user,measure the relative positions to each other of a wearer'"'"'s right and left feet during a stance phase of locomotion so as to determine a degree of crossover of right and/or left feet across a centerline of the wearer'"'"'s body, as measured in a frontal plane during the stance phase of locomotion, andthen to test a series of configuration settings in order to reduce or eliminate crossover; and
wherein the computer system is configured to process data from a plurality of the smartphone or other mobile computer devices.
