Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to the field of shoe production. There provides a smart shoe which has an identification function. The smart shoe includes an upper, a shoe sole and a foot sole print recognition sensor disposed in the shoe sole; the foot sole print recognition sensor is configured to acquire foot sole print information of a user who wears the smart shoe.

Claims

1. A smart shoe, comprising an upper, a shoe sole and a foot sole print recognition sensor disposed in the shoe sole;

wherein, the foot sole print recognition sensor is configured to acquire foot sole print information of a user who wears the smart shoe.

2. The smart shoe of claim 1, wherein the foot sole print recognition sensor comprises any one of a radio frequency type foot sole print recognition sensor, an optical-type foot sole print recognition sensor, a capacitive-type foot sole print recognition sensor and an ultrasonic-type foot sole print recognition sensor.

3. The smart shoe of claim 1, wherein the smart shoe further comprises a processor, a storage and a first alarm;

the processor is connected respectively to the foot sole print recognition sensor, the storage and the first alarm;

the storage is configured to store foot sole print information;

the processor is configured to receive the foot sole print information acquired by the foot sole print recognition sensor, to match the received foot sole print information with the stored foot sole print information in the storage, and, to send an alarm signal if they do not match with each other; and

the first alarm is configured to receive the alarm signal sent by the processor and to alarm.

4. The smart shoe of claim 1, wherein the smart shoe further comprises a first communication module;

the first communication module is configured to transmit the foot sole print information acquired by the foot sole print recognition sensor to an external terminal device.

5. The smart shoe of claim 1, wherein the smart shoe further comprises a heel comprising a base part of heel and at least one connecting parts of heel, and, the connecting parts of heel and the base part of heel are arranged to be nested into one another from top to bottom in sequence while the base part of heel is fixedly connected to a rear end of the shoe sole;

wherein, the base part of heel is hollow, and all the connecting parts of heel, at most excepting the one which is farthest away from the base part of heel, are hollow.

6. The smart shoe of claim 5, wherein the smart shoe further comprises an elastic support disposed at a side face of the connecting part of heel, being retractable into the connecting part of heel or being stretchable from the connecting part of heel, and being configured to secure the connecting part of heel stretched from the base part of heel or from another connecting part of heel, being disposed above the stretched connecting part of heel.

7. The smart shoe of claim 6, wherein the elastic support is in a wedge shape, and a cross sectional area of the elastic support is gradually decreased from top to bottom.

8. The smart shoe of claim 5, wherein a cross sectional area of a bottom of any one of the connecting parts of heel is greater than a cross sectional area of a top thereof.

9. The smart shoe of claim 8, wherein the connecting part of heel comprises a cylindrical main body and a cylindrical base, and a cross sectional area of the base is greater than that of the main body;

and

central axes of the main body and of the base lie in one straight line.

10. The smart shoe of claim 1, wherein the smart shoe further comprises a pedometer configured to record walking data.

11. The smart shoe of claim 10, wherein the pedometer comprises a step-counting sensing module configured to acquire the walking data, a display module, and a control module configured to display, through the display module in real time, the walking data acquired by the step-counting sensing module.

12. The smart shoe of claim 11, wherein the walking data comprises number of steps and a travel time;

the pedometer further comprises a switching button connected to the control module and configured to control, by the control module, the display module to display the number of steps or the travel time.

13. The smart shoe of claim 12, wherein in a case that the smart shoe comprises a heel, the control module is further configured to send a reminder instruction to the display module according to a height of the heel when the number of steps or the travel time is greater than a present value;

and

the display module is also configured to display the reminder instruction sent by the control module.

14. The smart shoe of claim 13, wherein the smart shoe further comprises a second alarm connected to the control module and configured to alarm according to the reminder instruction sent by the control module.

15. The smart shoe of claim 13, wherein the smart shoe further comprises a position sensor connected to the control module, being disposed at a location where the base part of heel contacts the shoe sole and outside of the base part of heel, and being configured to measure the height of the heel.

16. The smart shoe of claim 10, wherein the smart shoe comprises a second communication module connected to the pedometer and configured to transmit the walking data to an external terminal device.

17. The smart shoe of claim 16, wherein in a case that the smart shoe comprises a first communication module, the first communication module and the second communication module are the same one.

18. The smart shoe of claim 1, wherein the smart shoe further comprises a power supply module configured to provide an electric power, and a charging interface disposed on the base part of heel and configured for charging of the power supply module.

19. The smart shoe of claim 4, wherein, the first communication module is also configured to transmit the alarm signal sent by the processor to the external terminal device when the smart shoe further comprises a first alarm.
