INTELLIGENT ELECTRONIC FOOTWEAR AND CONTROL LOGIC FOR AUTOMATED PEDESTRIAN COLLISION AVOIDANCE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18447082 titled 'INTELLIGENT ELECTRONIC FOOTWEAR AND CONTROL LOGIC FOR AUTOMATED PEDESTRIAN COLLISION AVOIDANCE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes intelligent electronic footwear with automated features and control systems for executing these features.

  • The footwear includes an upper that attaches to the user's foot and a sole structure for supporting the foot.
  • The footwear is equipped with a collision threat warning system, a detection tag, a wireless communications device, and a footwear controller.
  • The detection tag receives a prompt signal and transmits a response signal to a transmitter-detector module.
  • The footwear controller receives a pedestrian collision warning signal from a remote computing node through the wireless communications device.
  • In response to the warning signal, the footwear controller sends a command signal to the collision threat warning system.
  • The collision threat warning system generates a visible, audible, or tactile alert to warn the user of an impending collision with a vehicle.


Original Abstract Submitted

Presented are intelligent electronic footwear with controller automated features, methods for making/using such footwear, and control systems for executing automated features of intelligent electronic footwear. An intelligent electronic shoe includes an upper that attaches to a user's foot, and a sole structure attached to the upper for supporting thereon the user's foot. A collision threat warning system, a detection tag, a wireless communications device, and a footwear controller are all mounted to the sole structure/upper. The detection tag receives a prompt signal from a transmitter-detector module and responsively transmits thereto a response signal. The footwear controller receives, through the wireless communications device, a pedestrian collision warning signal generated by the remote computing node responsive to the response signal. Responsively, the footwear controller transmits a command signal to the collision threat warning system to generate a visible, audible and/or tactile alert warning the user of an impending collision with a vehicle.
