Abstract:
The present invention relates to a flooring system for generating electricity from users as they walk. A flooring system ( 1 ) for generating electricity, comprising: a plurality of generators ( 100 ), each generator ( 100 ) having a support, each generator being arranged to generate electricity from linear motion of the support in a first direction; and a plurality of tiles for supporting one or more people, wherein each support supports a plurality of tiles.

Claim (Index 53):
A method for characterising a footstep, the method using a flooring system that comprises:\n a plurality of tiles for supporting one or more people, each tile coupled to one or more sensors for sensing a force applied to the tile; and a plurality of electromagnetic receivers for receiving identifiers transmitted by mobile communications devices and for identifying the strength of reception of each of the identifiers, each receiver corresponding to a respective tile, the method comprising:\n sensing a force applied to a tile with the one or more sensors corresponding to that tile; \n activating the receiver corresponding to that tile in response to a force applied to that tile; and \n receiving with the receiver any transmitted identifiers; \n determining the identifier corresponding to the reception of greatest strength; and \n generating output data representing the time at which the force was sensed, the tile to which the force was applied, and the determined identifier received by the receiver corresponding to that tile.
