Foot ware and pads with vibrational sensing systems and methods for making and using same

摘要

Vibration sensing wear for soldiers or law enforcement officers include at least one sensing system having vibration sensors, at least one processing unit, and a user interface unit capable of altering the wearer of surface vibration (e.g., ground, walls, floors, ceilings, etc.), object size, and direction.

主权项

1. A wearable apparatus comprising:
a vibration sensing system including at least one vibration sensor, where the at least one sensor senses vibrations propagating through the air or through a surface into the apparatus and generates an output signal, a processing unit in communication with the sensing system, where the processing unit receives and analyzes the output signal to produce vibration data including vibration properties comprising frequency, amplitude, duration, and/or direction, and determines information concerning an object or objects generating the vibration data, and a user interface including a human cognizable output device in communication with the processing unit, where the user interface: (a) receives the vibration data and the information concerning the object or objects generating the vibration data and (b) produces a human cognizable output for a wearer and/or a command center.
