SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ANALYZING ATHLETIC ACTIVITY

摘要

Various sensor systems are described herein, including inserts having sensors thereon, which are configured to be received in an article of footwear. The inserts may be connected to a sole member of the footwear, or may function as a sole member. The sensors may be bonded to an outer surface of the insert, or positioned within the insert, in some configurations. The system may also include an electronic module that is overmolded into the sole structure and includes a connector for external access.

1. A sensor system comprising:
a flexible insert member configured to be positioned in contact with a sole member of an article of footwear; a port connected to the insert member and configured for communication with an electronic module; a plurality of sensors connected to the insert member, each sensor comprising a first layer and a second layer, with a first contact located on the first layer and a second contact located on the second layer, the second contact being generally aligned with the first contact, wherein the sensors are each configured such that pressure on the sensor changes a resistance of the sensor; and a plurality of leads connected to the insert member, the leads connecting the sensors to the port, wherein the leads are formed by conductive thread sewn into the insert member.
