an Apple patent is more interesting than usual. This patent describes a sensor and alarm system, which is placed in the user's shoes. The function is < a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_x.asp" > shoes < /a > when worn out, users are reminded to change their shoes. 
 the application time of this patent is 2012 July. The patent name is "shoes wear bad induction system, no unit activity evaluation method". In fact, this is a kind of intelligent shoes, the function is that when the shoes are worn or worn, the system will remind the owner of shoes to change the shoes automatically. 
 in Apple's description, shoes not only provide comfortable feeling and foot protection for humans, but also keep feet stable when people participate in sports activities. However, a pair of shoes will continue to weaken in continuous daily use, and the protection effect for feet will be worse and worse. So Apple said that there is a critical point in the process of wearing shoes every day. After the critical point, these shoes can not provide enough protection. In some cases, they may even cause injury to the feet. The user will not know when the critical point will come, so Apple developed the sensor alarm system, which prevents the foot from being hurt. 
 the patent includes 3 main parts: the first is the detector that can perceive when the shoe is worn out, then the processor to process the data collected by the detector, and the last is to notify the user of the alarm system to change the shoes. Sensors can exist in many ways, including speed sensors, pressure sensors, piezoelectric bending sensors, and so on. Data is processed by an algorithm, which is based on the specifications of the shoe manufacturer, and ultimately determines when the shoe should be eliminated. 
 the quantized number of activities in this system is no unit. These numbers are handled by the processor through the action of < a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_x.asp" > inductor sense < /a >. In this process, the activity values of the system will be generated. Such a unit free system can be executed in time by periodic sampling. For example, if a shoe can only wear 500 hours rated, the system will notify users when the number of activities reaches this record number. 
 other and < a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_x.asp" > shoes < /a > there is no direct correlation between the measurement methods in this a href= http://www.91se91.com/news/index_x.asp system < /a > also embodies, including an induction component called body-bar, which is used to quantify the load and load times of shoes, and these figures can even be displayed on the screen. The whole system is built in batteries and power generation equipment. There are many ways for users to receive notifications, such as bright LED lights or loudspeakers, display on display, etc. In addition, the indispensable part of the component is wireless connection function, so as to connect with other mobile devices like iPhone and iPad. 
The processor, alarm system and other electronic components in the system envisaged by Apple can be placed in the heels of shoes or wherever there are enough space for P. The sensor part needs to be placed in the location where data can be collected, such as the outsole part of the heel. Maybe soon we can see Apple's basketball shoes. In fact, similar technologies have been applied to shoes such as Nike, but the use of Nike shoes is to track athletes' performance.
