Pressure-based weight monitoring system for determining improper walking or running
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system of monitoring weight of a person, comprising:
- a plurality of pressure sensors integrated with a shoe, for generating signals responsive to weight of a person wearing the shoe when walking or running over ground;
a processor electrically coupled with the pressure sensors, for processing the signals to determine an improper walking or running event;
a transmitter for transmitting a signal indicative of the improper walking or running event; and
a remote receiver for receiving the signal and generating an indication of the improper running or walking event.

Abstract
A system of monitoring weight of a person includes a plurality of pressure sensors integrated with a shoe, for generating wireless signals responsive to weight of a person wearing the shoe when walking or running over ground. A processor processes the signals to determine an improper walking or running event, and a transmitter transmits a signal indicative of the improper walking or running event. A remote receiver receives the signal and generates an indication of the improper walking or running event.
