Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to a modular footwear that is capable of generating and storing the electrical energy for providing a sustainable power source. Additionally, the footwear is also capable of detecting the presence of moisture in the footwear and taking the necessary steps for ensuring proper ventilation inside the footwear to enhance footwear hygiene and promote foot health.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Energy-generating footwear meets the increasing need for sustainable, self-powered wearable solution. As users walk or run, the mechanical energy from each footstep normally lost, is captured using built-in components like piezoelectric materials or pressure-sensitive generators. This energy is converted into electricity to power sensors or modules within the shoe, reducing reliance on external power sources. Especially useful in remote or emergency settings, this solution enhances user safety and convenience while promoting energy efficiency. The footwear aligns with modern goals for eco-friendly innovation and the seamless integration of smart technologies into everyday wearables.

[0003] Traditional methods of tracking location using footwear involved embedding GPS modules or RFID tags in the sole, transmitting data via GSM or Bluetooth for monitoring. For energy generation, early techniques used piezoelectric materials that converted walking pressure into electrical energy or miniature dynamos using foot motion. Though limited in power and accuracy, these methods pioneered wearable solution by enabling basic tracking and low-power energy harvesting directly from human movement. Traditional methods of location tracking and energy generation in footwear faced several drawbacks. GPS modules had limited accuracy indoors and consumed high power, reducing battery life. RFID offered only short-range tracking. Energy generation methods like piezoelectric and dynamos produced minimal power, insufficient for most electronic needs. Additionally, these components added bulk and discomfort, making the footwear less practical for long-term or everyday use.

A method for operating an intelligent electronic shoe (IES) includes receiving, e.g., via a controller through a wireless communications device from a GPS satellite service, location data of a user. The controller also receives, e.g., from a backend server-class computer or other remote computing node, location data for a target object or site, such as a virtual shoe hidden at a virtual spot. The controller retrieves or predicts path plan data including a derived route for traversing from the user's location to the target's location within a geographic area. The controller then transmits command signals to a navigation alert system mounted to the IES's shoe structure to output visual, audio, and/or tactile cues that guide the user along the derived route.

[0006] Conventionally, many footwears have been developed regarding location monitoring footwear but the existing footwear often track only the location of the user and do not guide the user for walking on a known pre-fed path which leads to the deviation of the user from the right path. In addition, these footwear lack in detecting the presence of moisture in the footwear and accordingly taking the necessary steps for ensuring proper ventilation inside the footwear to enhance footwear hygiene and promote foot health.

[0007] In order to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks, there exists a need in the art to develop a footwear that requires to be capable of detecting presence of moisture in the footwear and accordingly needs to take necessary steps for ensuring proper ventilation inside the footwear to enhance footwear hygiene and promote foot health. Additionally, the footwear also requires to be capable of monitoring real-time location of the user and takes necessary step for preventing the user’s deviation from the pre-stored path to minimize the risk of mistake.

[0020] As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” designate both the singular and the plural, unless expressly stated to designate the singular only.

[0021] The present invention relates to a modular footwear that is capable of detecting presence of moisture in the footwear and accordingly takes necessary steps for ensuring proper ventilation inside the footwear to enhance footwear hygiene and promote foot health.

[0022] Referring to Figure 1, an isometric view of a modular footwear is illustrated, comprising a shoe structure 101 configured to receive and support a foot of a user, an alert unit 102 integrated to the shoe structure 101, a speaker 103 and vibration unit 104, an iris valve 105 integrated to a periphery of the shoe structure 101, plurality of conduits 106 integrated to the shoe structure 101, plurality of extendable rods 107 equipped with suction units 108, a holographic projection unit 109, plurality of dynamic studs 110 attached to the bottom of the shoe structure 101.

[0023] The footwear disclosed herein employs a shoe structure 101 that is configured to receive and support a foot of a user having air-filled cylindrical tubes for shock absorption. These tubes compress upon impact, effectively dissipating kinetic energy and reducing stress on the user’s joints. Strategically positioned in high-impact zones like the heel and forefoot, they improve comfort, stability, and performance during walking or running by cushioning each step.

[0024] The shoe structure 101 includes means for converting pressure energy into electrical energy, integrated to the shoe structure 101 and having an energy storing unit to store the electrical energy. The means for converting pressure energy into electrical energy are piezoelectric sensors in form of a disk, a strip, or combination thereof. The piezoelectric sensors are strategically embedded in the sole where maximum pressure is applied during walking or running. These piezoelectric disks are made from materials such as lead zirconate titanate (PZT), which generate electrical charge when mechanically deformed. As the user walks, the pressure exerted on these disks causes them to compress slightly, creating an internal displacement of charges within the crystal lattice of the piezoelectric material. This displacement produces an alternating voltage across the electrodes attached to the disk. The voltage generated is proportional to the amount and frequency of pressure applied, making it possible to harvest energy from each footstep.

[0025] The electrical energy generated by the piezoelectric disks is fed into the energy storing unit, which first receives the alternating current (AC) output. Since storage unit require direct current (DC), the AC is passed through a rectifier circuit, typically consisting of diodes to convert AC into DC. This DC voltage is then smoothed using capacitors to eliminate ripples. A voltage regulation circuit is included to maintain a consistent output suitable for charging. The regulated DC power is then stored in an onboard energy storage medium, such as a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. This stored energy is later used to power embedded electronics.

[0026] A monitoring unit is integrated to the shoe structure 101, comprising plurality of sensors and a microcontroller. The sensors include a moisture sensor to sense moisture inside the shoe structure 101 and sends data to the microcontroller to generate signal accordingly and a catalytic diffusion sensor to detect types of gases and send data to an external central controller. The moisture sensor operates on the capacitive sensing method. This sensor consists of two conductive electrodes separated by a hygroscopic dielectric material. As moisture levels inside the shoe increase, due to sweat or environmental humidity, the dielectric constant of the material between the electrode’s changes. This change alters the capacitance of the sensor, which is continuously monitored by the circuit. The moisture sensor converts this variation in capacitance into a corresponding electrical signal. This signal is then transmitted to the microcontroller, which processes the data to determine the moisture level. Based on predefined thresholds, the microcontroller generates specific output signals.

[0027] The catalytic diffusion sensor used in the shoe structure 101 works on the principle of oxidation of combustible gases in the presence of a catalyst. The sensor comprises two main elements, a sensing bead coated with a catalytic material (such as platinum) and a reference bead without the catalyst. When gases like methane, carbon monoxide, or hydrogen enter the sensor, they diffuse through a porous flame arrestor and reach the heated catalytic bead. The catalyst facilitates the oxidation of the gases, producing heat that raises the temperature of the sensing bead. This temperature change alters the bead’s electrical resistance, which is measured as a change in voltage. The reference bead provides a baseline to cancel out environmental temperature variations. The resulting signal is then used to detect the types of gases and send data to the external central controller.

[0028] An air ventilating unit is integrated to the shoe structure 101 and communicatively connected to the microcontroller for providing ventilation to the foot, on receiving the signal from the microcontroller. The air ventilating unit comprises of an iris valve 105 that is integrated to a periphery of the shoe structure 101. A plurality of conduits 106 is integrated to the shoe structure 101 and coupled to the iris valve 105 for directing air inside the footwear to ensure ventilation. The iris valve 105 operates using a series of interlinked, overlapping blades that open and close in a circular motion. The motor in the iris valve 105 drives a mechanical linkage that synchronously moves the blades apart, creating an opening for the air to pass through to ensure ventilation.

[0029] The conduits 106 integrated into the shoe structure 101 are small, flexible air channels that are strategically routed from the iris valve 105 to various internal regions of the footwear. Once the iris valve 105 opens, ambient air is drawn. The conduits 106 then direct this airflow efficiently throughout the interior of the shoe, particularly to areas prone to moisture and heat buildup. These conduits 106 are preferably made from but not limited to breathable, lightweight materials like silicone or thermoplastic elastomers, ensuring durability and comfort. Their internal surfaces also feature micro-textures or channels to reduce airflow resistance and promote even distribution. This ensures that fresh air circulates inside the shoe, enhancing comfort and reducing the buildup of sweat and odor.

[0030] A navigation unit is integrated to the shoe structure 101 and operably connected to the external central controller to receive a pre-stored path direction from a linked database and navigates the user based on the received direction. The navigation unit comprises of a GPS module to monitor real-time location of the user and sharing the location to the database linked to the external central controller and generate an instruction when the user deviates from the pre-stored path.

[0031] The GPS module operates using the trilateration method to determine the real-time location of the user. The GPS module receives signals from at least four satellites in the Global Positioning System constellation, each transmitting data that includes the satellite’s location and the precise time the signal was sent. By calculating the time delay between when the signals were sent and when they were received, the GPS module determines the distance to each satellite. Using trilateration, it computes the user’s exact position in terms of latitude, longitude, and altitude. This real-time location data is then transmitted to the database linked to the external central controller via a wireless communication interface such as Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. The controller compares the live location with a pre-stored path retrieved from the database. If the GPS module detects any deviation from this predefined route, it prompts the navigation unit to generate corrective instructions, assisting to guide the user back onto the correct path.

[0032] The navigation unit also comprises of a preventive arrangement that is integrated to the shoe structure 101 for preventing the user to deviate from the saved path. The preventive arrangement comprises of plurality of ultrasonic sensors that are integrated to the shoe structure 101 and operably connected to the microcontroller for generating a signal when an obstacle is detected. The ultrasonic sensor’s function using the time-of-flight method to detect obstacles in the user’s path. Each sensor emits high-frequency ultrasonic sound waves typically around 40 kHz through a transmitter. These waves travel through the air and reflect back to the sensor’s receiver when they encounter an obstacle. The sensor measures the time taken for the echo to return and uses the speed of sound to calculate the distance to the object. This real-time distance data is then sent to the microcontroller. If the calculated distance falls below a pre-defined threshold indicating the presence of a nearby obstacle the microcontroller generates a signal to trigger the preventive arrangement.

[0033] The navigation unit also comprises of a gripping unit that is attached to the footwear equipped to receive the signal from the microcontroller and activates gripping unit to ensure stability of the user. The gripping unit comprises of plurality of extendable rods 107 that are equipped with suction units 108 for providing a gripping ability to the footwear. The extendable rods 107 extend and retract for providing the gripping ability to the footwear though the attached suction units 108 by using nested sections that slide within each other, driven by a pneumatic unit. The pneumatic unit for extension and retraction operates using compressed air to drive a piston inside a cylinder. When air is supplied to one side of the piston, it creates pressure that pushes the piston rod outward, causing extension. To retract, air is supplied to the opposite side while the initial chamber is vented, pulling the piston rod back.

[0034] The suction unit 108 operates by creating a vacuum to generate a pressure difference for providing the gripping ability to the footwear. The suction unit 108 typically consists of a vacuum pump, suction cups, and control valves. When activated, the pump removes air from the suction cup, creating a low-pressure zone that causes atmospheric pressure to apply force against the cup thereby providing the gripping ability to the footwear.

[0035] The navigation unit includes a holographic projection unit 109 that is operably connected to the external central controller to receive the pre-stored path direction and project the path direction as a visual instruction to the user. The holographic projection unit 109 creates three-dimensional image that appear to float in space by utilizing principles of light diffraction and interference which begins with a coherent light source splits into two beams which illuminates the recording medium. When these beams intersect, they create an interference pattern that encodes the light's amplitude and phase information on a medium like holographic film. To visualize the hologram, this recorded pattern is illuminated again with coherent light, recreating a light field that mimics the original object’s light field, allowing viewers to see a 3D image from various angles. Hence, the path direction is projected as the visual instruction to the user.

[0036] An alert unit 102 is integrated to the shoe structure 101 and operably connected to the external central controller to receive instructions from the external central controller to warn the user. The alert unit 102 warns the user via providing haptic signal, audio signal or combination thereof. The audio signal for warning the user is generated through a speaker 103. The speaker 103 works by converting the electrical signal into the audio signal. The speaker 103 consists of a cone known as a diaphragm attached to a coil-shaped wire placed between two magnets. When the electric signal is passed through the voice coil, a varying magnetic field is generated by the coil that interacts with the magnet causing the diaphragm to move back and forth. The movement of the diaphragm pushes and pulls air creating sound waves just like the electrical signal received and used to warn the user.

[0037] The haptic signal for warning the user is generated through a vibration unit 104. The vibration unit 104 operates using an eccentric rotating mass (ERM) motor to provide haptic feedback to the user. The ERM motor consists of a small DC motor with an off-center weight attached to the shaft. When the microcontroller receives a signal, it sends an electrical current to the ERM motor. As the motor rotates, the off-center mass creates a centrifugal force, resulting in vibrations. These vibrations are transmitted through the shoe structure 101, and the user feels them as tactile alerts. The instructions from the external central controller includes instruction when the hazardous gas is detected, when the user deviates from a saved path, and/or combination thereof.

[0038] A plurality of dynamic studs 110 is attached to the bottom of the shoe structure 101 to provide stability to the user. The dynamic studs 110 are pneumatically operated and operably connected to the microcontroller and external central controller. The pneumatically operated dynamic studs 110 function using a pressure-based actuation method to enhance user stability on varying terrains. Each stud 110 is connected to the pneumatic unit comprising a miniature air pump, pressure valves, and air chambers controlled by the microcontroller and external central controller. When terrain instability or slippage is present, the microcontroller sends a signal to activate the pneumatic unit. The air pump then directs compressed air into specific air chambers beneath the studs 110, causing them to extend outward from the sole to grip the surface. Conversely, when stability is no longer a concern, the microcontroller signals the valves to release the air pressure, allowing the studs 110 to retract into the sole via vacuum pressure. This real-time extension and retraction ensure optimal ground contact and traction, providing dynamic support and improving user safety during movement.

[0039] The footwear also includes an IoT module which facilitates two-way data communication with authorized control centers, sends worker health/location data, receives real-time updates or emergency messages. The speaker 103 relays verbal instructions and system-generated messages. The IoT module functions as the core communication interface, enabling seamless, two-way data exchange between the footwear and authorized control centers. Internally, it comprises a microcontroller unit (MCU), wireless communication components, and sensor integration circuitry. The module continuously gathers data from onboard sensors, such as GPS for location tracking. This data is pre-processed by the MCU and transmitted securely to the control center using encrypted protocols like MQTT or HTTPS. Simultaneously, the IoT module receives real-time updates or emergency alerts from the control center, which is then forwards to the footwear’s microcontroller. Upon reception, these messages are converted into audible instructions via the connected speaker 103.

[0040] In another embodiment of the present invention, an AI camera is integrated into the footwear, enabling the footwear to detect different types of minerals within the coal mine. As workers operate in the mine, the AI camera will continuously identify various minerals. The camera comprises of an image capturing arrangement including a set of lenses that captures multiple images in vicinity of the footwear and the captured images are stored within a memory of the camera in form of an optical data. The camera also comprises of the processor that is integrated with artificial intelligence protocols, such that the processor processes the optical data and extracts the required data from the captured images. The extracted data is further converted into digital pulses and bits and are further transmitted to the microcontroller. The microcontroller processes the received data and detects different types of minerals within the coal mine. If the camera detects a highly valuable mineral (lead, arsenic, uranium, etc.), it alerts the footwear which in turn notifies the worker and send information to the main connected server. This allows workers to easily locate valuable minerals without excessive digging.
