Abstract:
Presented are intelligent electronic footwear and apparel with controller-automated features, methods for making/operating such footwear and apparel, and control systems for executing automated features of such footwear and apparel. A method for automating a collaborative operation between an intelligent electronic shoe (IES) and an intelligent transportation management (ITM) system includes receiving, via a detection tag attached to the IES shoe structure, a prompt signal from a transmitter-detector module communicatively connected to a traffic system controller of the ITM system. In reaction to the received prompt signal, the detection tag transmits a response signal to the transmitter-detector module. The traffic system controller uses the response signal to determine a location of the IES's user, and the current operating state of a traffic signal proximate the user's location. The traffic system controller transmits a command signal to the traffic signal to switch from the current operating state to a new operating state.

Claim (Index 1):
A control system for provisioning interactions between an intelligent electronic shoe (IES) and an intelligent transportation management (ITM) system, the IES including shoe structure for attaching to and supporting a foot of a user, the control system comprising:\n a transmitter-detector module configured to emit a prompt signal; a detection tag configured to attach to the shoe structure of the IES, the detection tag being operable to receive the prompt signal from the transmitter-detector module and responsively transmit a response signal to the transmitter-detector module; a controller communicatively connected to the transmitter-detector module, the controller being programmed to:\n determine a user location of the user based on the response signal output by the detection tag of the IES; \n determine a first operating state of a traffic signal proximate the user location and communicatively connected to the controller; and \n transmit a command signal to the traffic signal to switch from the first operating state to a second operating state.
