1. A step device, comprising:

  • a transducer configured to generate an electrical transduction signal as a function of mechanical activity generated during steps;

    an energy scavenging system coupled to said transducer and configured to generate electrical energy from the mechanical activity generated during each step and supply an output supply signal from said electrical transduction signal;

    a regulator stage configured to generate a regulated supply signal starting from said output supply signal; and

    a transmission stage supplied by said regulator stage for radio transmission of information associated to said count, wherein said transmission stage is configured to implement a transmission, to the outside world, of a count-increment signal upon exceeding of a first threshold by the regulated supply signal, wherein completion of said transmission is indicative of the occurrence of a step.
