Abstract

A shoe includes a shoe sole having a chamber formed in a heel portion, a detecting device disposed in the chamber of the heel portion of the shoe sole and arranged to be depressed and actuated by a heel portion of a user, a processor device attached to the shoe and electrically coupled to the detecting device, to receive and to process the information into physical information of the user. A display device is coupled to the processor device, to receive and display the physical information from the processor device, and to allow the user to readily know his physical conditions. The physical information may be wirelessly transmitted to the display device.

Claims

1. A shoe comprising:

a shoe sole including a heel portion having a chamber formed therein,

a detecting device disposed in said chamber of said heel portion of said shoe sole, and arranged to be depressed and actuated by a heel portion of a user,

a processor device attached to said shoe and electrically coupled to said detecting device, to receiving information from said detecting device, and to process the information into physical information of the user, and

a display device coupled to said processor device, to receive and display the physical information from said processor device, and to allow the user to readily know his physical conditions.

2. The shoe as claimed in claim 1 further comprising an insole engaged into said shoe, and including a rear portion disposed above said detecting device.

3. The shoe as claimed in claim 2, wherein said detecting device is secured onto said rear portion of said insole and engaged into said chamber of said heel portion of said shoe sole.

4. The shoe as claimed in claim 1, wherein said shoe includes a shoe front having a recess formed therein to receive said processor device.

5. The shoe as claimed in claim 1 further comprising a signal receiving device electrically coupled to said display device, and a signal transmitting device electrically coupled to said processor device, to transmit the physical information from said processor device to said display device and to have the physical information to be displayed in said display device.

6. The shoe as claimed in claim 5 further comprising a housing to receive said signal receiving device and said display device.
