Abstract

A shoe-based weight measuring system, comprising: a shoe; one or more weight sensitive detectors constructed and arranged with the shoe to sense weight of a person wearing the shoe and walking or standing; a processor for processing signals from the detectors to determine a weight of the person; a remote receiver; and a communications port for wirelessly communicating the weight to the remote receiver. An on demand weight system, comprising a weight detector coupled with a shoe for sensing weight of a person on the detector, a processor processing information from the detector for determining applied weight, a personal data display, and a communications port for wirelessly relaying the applied weight to the data display.

Claims (14)

1. A shoe-based weight measuring system, comprising:

a shoe;

one or more weight sensitive detectors constructed and arranged with the shoe to sense weight of a person wearing the shoe and walking or standing;

a processor for processing signals from the detectors to determine a weight of the person and weight loss of the person;

a remote receiver; and

a communications port for wirelessly communicating the weight to the remote receiver in response to interrogation by the remote receiver.

2. A system of claim 1 , wherein the remote receiver comprises a watch.

3. A system of claim 1 , wherein the communications port is a transceiver, and wherein the remote receiver has a transceiver to request weight information from the processor, the processor responding to the request to wirelessly communicate the weight to the remote receiver.

4. A system of claim 1 , wherein the detectors comprises one or more force sensing resistors.

5. A system of claim 1 , further comprising a replaceable battery, with the shoe, for powering one or more of the detectors, processor and communications port.

6. A system of claim 1 , wherein the processor determines weight loss relative to a calibration weight, wherein the person can review the weight loss selectively.

7. An on demand weight system, comprising a weight detector coupled with a shoe for sensing weight of a person wearing the shoe and walking or standing, a processor processing information from the detector for determining weight and weight loss of the person, a personal data display, and a communications port for wirelessly relaying one or both of the weight and weight loss to the data display in response to interrogation by the personal data display.

8. A system of claim 7 , wherein the data display comprises one of a digital watch and a musical device.

9. A system of claim 7 , wherein the weight detector comprises one of a fluid and a pressure sensor and a force-sensing resistor.
