Description
本发明的背景技术
用于监视人们运动(例如,行走、慢跑或快跑)的电子装置在技术上是已知的。通常,一个或多个冲击传感器(例如,触点开关、压电传感器等)被置于鞋的鞋底中,以便感受鞋何时接触和/或离开地面。通常这样的传感器被镶嵌在鞋底的后跟和/或足尖部分,而它的输出被传送给处理器或其他的电子装置。
例如,在美国专利笫4,649,552号所揭示的装置(下称:“552号装置”)中,触点开关被固定在鞋垫的底面上,以致穿鞋者的每个脚步都引起触点开关闭合。在552号装置中,触点开关的两根导线(借助电缆)被送给包括一对电终端的装配底座,两个终端被分别接在相应的导线上。此外,电子计数器可拆开地安装在装配底座上,以致在装配到一起时电子计数器上的一对终端与装配底座上的那对终端连接,以致该计数器可以通过累计触点开关闭合次数来累计用户迈出的步数。
人们还知道把传感器固定到鞋的脚背部分,以便感受鞋在穿鞋者迈步期间何时弯曲。例如,在美国专利第4,651,446号揭示的装置(下称“446号装置”)中,来自安装在脚背上的触点开关(该触点开关在迈步期间鞋弯曲时闭合)的两根导线被送给包括一对电终端的装配底座,每根导线连接一个终端。和552号装置一样,446号装置包括可拆卸地安装在装配底座上的电子计数器,以致在装配到一起时电子计数器上的一对终端与装配底座上的那对终端电连接,从而使电子计数器可以在用户的脚弯曲时累计安装在脚背上的触点开关的闭合次数,借此累计用户迈出的步数。
本发明的概述
按照本发明的一个方面,可以固定在鞋上用来监视人的运动的器械包括安装单元、壳体单元和运动传感器。安装单元适合固定在鞋的外表面上。壳体单元适合可松开地附着在安装单元上。运动传感器这样附着在壳体单元上,以致当壳体单元与安装单元分离时运动传感器仍然附着在壳体单元上。
按照本发明的另一个方面,运动传感器包括电路板和加速度表。加速度表具有加速度传感轴并且被这样安装在电路板上,以致加速度传感轴相对电路板的表面呈锐角取向。
按照第三个方面,运动传感器包括壳体单元和加速度表。壳体单元适合固定到鞋的脚背部分上。加速度表是用壳体单元支撑的,以致在壳体单元被固定在鞋的脚背部分上时,加速度表的加速度传感轴按照大体上平行于鞋底表面或者大体上垂直于鞋底表面的方向取向。
按照本发明的第四方面,把运动传感器安装到人的鞋上的方法包括,把安装单元固定到鞋的外表面上的步骤。这种方法进一步包括使带有装配了运动传感器的壳体单元附着到安装单元上的步骤,以及在不必使运动传感器与壳体单元分离的情况下,使壳体单元与安装单元分离的步骤。

本发明的详细叙述
在上述的将电子计数器可拆开地安装在装配底座上的552号和446号装置中,为了使电子计数器精确地累计步数,必不可少的是在装配底座上的一对终端和电子计数器上的一对终端之间建立并保持完整的物理连接。本申请人认为在运动期间作用在人脚上的极端的物理力可能使两对终端之间的物理接触的完整性减少,以致终端之间的连接可能变得松弛,断断续续或者不完整。如果终端之间的连接变得松弛,当终端在触点开关闭合期间彼此相对反跳时将可能累计额外的步数。如果终端之间的连接变得断断续续或者不完整,电子计数器数则可能不累计用户的某些或全部步数。
此外,在552号装置和446号装置中,传感器被永久地接在装配底座上,并且当电子计数器与装配底座分离时仍然固定在鞋上。因此,人们可以发现在恶劣的气候条件(例如,雨雪天气)下锻炼或者清洗鞋子之前必须从他或她的鞋上将电子计数器和装配底座两者拆除,以防止传感器或相关的电路系统受到损害或者锈蚀。
进一步说,将传感器连接到装配底座上的要求可能增加装配底座的制造成本和零售价格,因此阻止消费者为不同的鞋单独购买装配底座。因此,为了使壳体单元可以与不同的鞋一起使用,要求人们把装配底座从一双鞋转移到另一双鞋上,这可能是不方便的而且是花费时间的。
在本发明的一个实施方案中,安装单元(它的制造成本可以比较低)适合被固定到鞋上(例如,固定到鞋带上,或者鞋上的其他地方),而壳体单元可松开地附着在安装单元上。用来监视与人的运动相关的参数的运动传感器可以附着在于壳体单元上或者用壳体单元作为外壳,以使当壳体单元与安装单元分开时,运动传感器与安装单元和鞋分开。这样通过把运动传感器与壳体单元联系起来,在安装单元上的终端与壳体单元上的终端之间不需要物理连接,每次都把壳体单元可松开地附着到安装单元上,从而消除了作用在鞋上的物理力将使这样的终端之间的物理连接变得松弛、断断续续或者不完全的危险。此外,在这样的实施方案中,由于洗涤、恶劣的气候条件等引起运动传感器损坏的风险将简单地通过使壳体单元与安装单元分离致使运动传感器与鞋分开而被消除。再者,因为不需要把运动传感器附着到安装单元上,所以安装单元的制造成本可以比较低廉因而可以以比较公道的价格出售。所以,消费者可以购买几个安装单元并且将它们分别固定到每双鞋上,因此单一的壳体单元可以轻易地转移到任何一双鞋上的安装单元上。
在一个实施方案中,壳体单元可以是完全独立的,所有与运动传感器一起操作监视与人的运动相关的参数的电子元器件除了可以借助无线通信链路传递信息的元器件(例如带在手腕上的显示器)之外都由壳体单元提供外壳。
在上述的电子计数器可拆开地安装在装配底座上的552号和446号装置中,为了感受运动传感器需要对它施加某种物理外力(例如,压缩力或弯曲力),而作为这种物理力的结果该传感器可能被磨损或损坏。美国专利第5,485,402号揭示使用一种不需要对它施加物理外力就能感受运动的运动传感器(即电子加速度表)来监视人脚的冲击。这种加速度表被安装在壳体中,该壳体用带子绑在人的脚踝上,以便产生表示脚踝的加速度的信号。因为它不承受物理外力,所以这种加速度表与压力感应开关等相比可能不易损坏。但是,绑在脚踝上的壳体特性对于精力旺盛地进行锻炼的佩带者(例如,慢跑者和跑步者)可能是不舒服的。例如,当安装在脚踝上的装置被绑得足够紧以便在慢跑或跑步期间保持在适当的位置时,向佩带者的脚流动的血液流可能受到限制。另外,在剧烈运动期间佩戴时,用来把这样的装置固定到人的脚踝上的带子倾向于累积汗水,因此可能长时间地散发令人不快的气味。
在本发明的一个实施方案中,把不需要物理外力就能感受运动的运动传感器(例如,固态加速度表)包括在内的电子装置被固定在人的鞋上,而不是固定在人的脚踝上,因此克服在上述的安装在脚踝上的装置的缺点。在一个实施方案中,运动传感器被包括在壳体单元之内,而该壳体单元被固定到鞋的脚背部分上。该壳体单元可松开地附着到安装单元上,而安装单元可以被固定到鞋上(例如,利用鞋带固定),从而使壳体单元很容易与安装单元和鞋分开。当加速度表被用作运动传感器时,加速度表可以在壳体单元范围内这样取向,以致即使在壳体单元被固定到鞋的某个取向不垂直或平行于地面的部分上(例如,鞋的脚背上)时加速度表的加速度传感轴的取向也垂直或平行于地面。在一个实施方案中,加速度表的加速度传感轴的这种取向是通过把加速度表安装到电路板上,使加速度表的加速度传感轴相对电路板的平面形成锐角实现的。
图1展示根据本发明的一个实施方案安装在鞋上的装置(附着到鞋上)。如图所示,安装在鞋上的装置可以包括两个可分开的部分:壳体单元100和安装单元102。在图1所示的实施方案中,安装单元102利用鞋带110的暴露部分110a-e固定在运动鞋104的脚背部分上。但是,人们应当理解与本发明一起使用的鞋可以是许多种鞋当中的任何一种,而且本发明不局限于适合与任何特定类型的鞋一起使用的装置。例如,安装单元102可以适合于与皮靴、凉鞋、运动鞋、时装鞋等一起使用。在使用一根或多根鞋襻扣紧鞋子的情况下(例如,利用带扣或带钩和鞋襻代替鞋带时),安装单元102可能适合于被固定到鞋襻上而不是被固定在鞋带110上。
人们还应当理解安装单元102可以被固定到鞋104上为数众多的位置中任何位置并且可以采取为数众多的形式中任何一种形式,以便允许将它适当地固定到鞋子上。本发明不局限于适合固定在鞋上任何特定位置的安装装置102。例如,安装装置102可以适合于被固定在鞋104的侧面或者后面部分,而不是鞋的脚背部分。
在图1所示的作为例证的实施方案中(其中安装单元102被固定在鞋104的脚背部分上),安装单元102包括一部分鞋带110d和110e可以穿过的孔112,包括可以插在鞋带部分110a-c下面的附着零件114。跨过附着零件114的顶面的鞋带部分110a-c的张力的作用是把附着零件114的底面固定到鞋的脚背部分上。在用鞋带或鞋襻把安装单元102固定到鞋104上的实施方案中,在安装单元102上可以提供任何数量的通孔和/或附着零件,以便允许鞋带或鞋襻部分把它固定到鞋上,而且本发明不局限于使用任何特定类型或数量的通孔和/或附着零件。例如,在一个替代实施方案中,为了把安装单元102固定到鞋104的脚背上,所使用的安装单元102包括一对可以彼此相对移动(例如,合拢或滑动)的附着零件,以致这两个零件可以在鞋带110的一段或多段暴露部分下面滑动。在一些实施方案中,安装单元102还可以包括夹持零件,它们把安装单元102牢牢地夹在鞋带110的某些部分上。
在本发明的替代实施方案中,安装单元102可以在不使用鞋带110或一个或多个鞋襻的情况下固定到鞋104上。例如,这样的实施方案可以与仅仅套在脚上不用鞋带或鞋襻的鞋一起使用。例如,在一个实施方案中,粘接材料可以被用来把安装单元102固定在鞋104的侧面或后部,或者安装单元102可以被缝在或镶嵌在鞋的某个部分中以使它固定。在另一个实施方案中,安装单元102可以利用(不同于鞋带110的)一个或多个花边或带子固定到鞋104上,而这些花边或带子可以以某种风格固定在鞋104上。例如,固定在安装装置102上的花边或带子可以穿过镶嵌在鞋的某个部分中的一个或多个金属扣眼以便把安装单元102固定到鞋上。
安装单元102可以用多种材料中的任何一种材料制造,本发明不局限于任何特定材料种类。例如,在图1所示的实施方案中,安装单元102可以用半刚性的聚合物材料或金属材料制造。在替代实施方案中,安装单元102可以用被缝合或以别的方式附着到鞋104上的布料(例如,布袋)制造。在一个实施方案中,安装单元可以包括钩环式紧固件的环形部分,而壳体单元包括钩形部分,或者反过来。
在图1所示的本发明的实施方案中,壳体单元100可松开地附着在安装单元102上。壳体单元100和安装单元102之间可松开的接口界面可以以任何方式予以实现,并且本发明不局限于任何特定的附着技术。重要的仅仅是壳体单元100可以这样附着到安装单元102上,以致当两者附着在一起时用户可以操纵位于壳体单元100和/或安装单元102上的某种快速释放机构使壳体单元100与安装单元102分开。例如,在替代实施方案中,可以使用一个或多个夹子、带子、细绳、别针、杠杆、钩环式紧固件等把壳体单元100固定到安装单元102上,以致壳体单元100可以轻易地从安装单元102上解放出来。
正像在下面将更详细地讨论的那样,在图1所示的实施方案中,用户可以通过朝安装单元102的附着零件114按压安装单元102的悬臂116,以允许壳体单元100的后端128朝用户的脚踝滑动并且离开安装单元102使壳体单元100与安装单元102分离。
用来监视人的运动的为数众多的电子装置中的任何一种装置都可以被包括在壳体单元100之内,本发明不局限于任何特定类型的装置。例如,在一个实施方案中,感受鞋104的加速度以便分析用户的运动的基于加速度表的装置被包括在壳体单元100之内。这种基于加速度表的装置的实例在转让给本发明的受让人的待审的专利申请第08/942,802号中予以描述,在此通过引证将其完整地并入。
在一些实施方案中,壳体单元100可以仅仅包括运动传感器、发射器和电源(如果有必要),并且可以把来自壳体单元100中的运动传感器的信号传送给远离壳体单元100的接收单元(例如,借助射频(RF)的或其他的无线通信链路)。在另一些实施方案中,壳体单元100可以包括补充的电路系统,例如,放大器、滤波器和处理器,它们可以处理来自运动传感器的输出信号,根据这种经过处理的输出信号完成计算,并且把信号传送给显示这种计算结果的接收单元(例如,利用无线通信链路)。例如,与这样的实施方案结合使用的接收单元可以处理和分析从壳体单元100内的电路系统接收的信号,以便从中提取信息和/或在此基础上完成计算。例如,这样的接收单元可以位于佩戴在手腕上的壳体中,并且可以包括处理器,以便处理和分析从壳体单元100中的电路系统接收的信号。
在一个实施方案中,壳体单元100里的电路系统包括用来测定人的脚离开和接触地面的瞬间的固态加速度表,并且包括接收来自加速度表的输出信号、根据该输出信号确定该装置的佩戴者的脚的平均触地时间和根据被确定的脚触地时间计算该装置的佩带者的步调的处理器。在一个实施方案中,表示计算出来的人的步调的信号通过壳体单元100中的电路系统发射给接收机,该接收机位于佩戴着安置于脚上的装置的人的手腕上的手腕装置之中。在安置于手腕上的装置中的电路系统可以接收这种来自壳体单元100中的电路系统的信号,并且把那个人的步调计算结果显示在位于安置于手腕上的装置中的显示器(例如,轻型液晶显示器(LCD))。
如图1所示,在本发明的一个实施方案中,加速度表被安装在壳体单元100之内,以致加速度表的加速度传感轴118在鞋104的底面在地面上变平时大体上平行于地面。业已发现加速度传感轴118相对地面的这种取向在确定脚离开地面的瞬间和与脚接触地面的瞬间的过程中是特别有利的。为了像图1所示的那样确定加速度传感轴118的方向,加速度表可以这样安装在壳体单元100内,以致加速度传感轴118相对壳体单元100的平面(该平面是用虚线130表示的)形成角度θa。为了使加速度传感轴118像图1所示的那样取向,在壳体单元100内安装加速度表的方法的实例下面将结合图7予以详细阐述。
在图1所示的实施方案中,包括壳体单元100和安装单元102的置于脚上的装置位于用户的脚底表面108的上方。另外,在图示的实施方案中,壳体单元100是完全独立的,以致为了监视用户的运动在壳体单元100内的电路系统不需要与位于安装单元102、鞋底120之内或鞋104之中或之上的其他地方的电路系统接口。但是,应当理解壳体单元100在保持独立的同时,可以借助无线通信链路与其他的元器件(例如,置于手腕上的显示器)接口。
因为在图1所示的实施方案中可以使用固态加速度表(在壳体单元100中)来感受鞋104的运动,所以不需要将必须对它们施加物理外力才能感受运动的装置(例如,压力感应开关或压电传感器)与图1所示的实施方案结合使用。因此,可能由于脚的冲击所产生的强有力影响而受到损害的元器件是不需要使用的。
图2和图3分别展示安装在鞋上的装置(例如,图1所示的装置)的一个实施方案在壳体单元100和安装单元102彼此分开时的顶部和底部透视图。如图2和图3所示,安装单元102可以包括底座102a和弧面(即轻微弯曲的表面)102b。
正像下面将要描述的那样,底座102a可以用足够柔韧的材料来制作,以致当壳体单元100附着在安装单元上时允许悬臂116轻微地弯曲。弧面102b可以弯曲,以便符合待安装它的鞋104的脚背的形状。如图1-3所示,弧面102b在鞋104的圆形脚背周围的定位和鞋带部分110a-e的张力(在绑紧时)起防止安装单元102在所有的6个自由度(即3个平移自由度和3个旋转自由度)上相对鞋104移动的作用。但是,人们应当理解本发明的替代实施方案可以使用这样的安装单元,该安装单元安装到鞋104上时全部6个自由度都受到比较少的限制,因此本发明不局限于安装装置102所有的6个自由度都相对鞋104受到限制的实施方案。
如图2和图3所示,壳体单元100可以包括逐渐变细沟槽302,而安装单元202可以包括逐渐变细的舌状物202,舌状物202和沟槽302是这样成形的,以致当两个单元附着在一起的时候彼此相互匹配。例如,舌状物202和沟槽302上适当的锥度是用角度θb予以图解说明的(见图6)。如图所示,舌状物202和沟槽302的锥度可以足够大,以致当两个单元附着在一起的时候足以阻止壳体单元100与安装单元102垂直地分开。
在图2和图3里还展示:(1)在底座102a的上表面204上的斜坡206;(2)在壳体单元100的下表面306上的槽306和(3)壳体单元100的弯曲的后端128。当壳体单元100附着到安装单元102上时,象下面描述的那样,舌状物202完全插入沟槽302,斜坡206的肩部208与沟槽302的内壁308咬合,以便防止舌状物202从沟槽306中脱出。在图示的实施方案中,后端128向内弯曲,以便允许壳体单元100的后端128轻轻地包裹在鞋104的脚背周围。
图4说明图1-3所示的示范实施方案的壳体单元100和安装单元102是怎样可松开地相互附着的。如图所示,壳体单元100和安装单元102可以这样取向,以致壳体单元100的底面304与安装单元102的顶面204几乎在同一个平面内,当装置这样取向时壳体单元100可以朝安装单元102滑动(按箭头402所示的方向)。舌状物202可以滑入沟槽302,直到斜坡206的顶部210与和底面304的前端部分310接触为止,借此使悬臂116朝附着零件114轻微地弯曲。当悬臂116向下弯曲的时候,斜坡206的顶部210可以从底面304的前端部分310滑过,直到斜坡的206肩部208与槽306的内壁308咬合为止。
当壳体单元100和安装的单元102像图5和图6所示的那样附着在一起的时候,除了带锥度的舌状物202在带锥度的沟槽302内咬合之外,肩部208与内壁308的咬合也阻止壳体单元100在全部6个自由度中相对安装单元102移动。但是,人们应当理解本发明的替代实施方案可以使用这样的壳体单元和安装单元,以致当两者附着在一起时壳体单元相对安装单元的全部6个自由度受到的限制比较少,因此本发明不局限于全部6个自由度受制限的实施方案。
图5以实例说明图1-3所示的示范实施方案的壳体单元100和安装单元102彼此脱开的方法。如图所示,用户可以朝安装单元102的附着零件114推悬臂116(像用箭头502表示的那样),使斜坡206的肩部208与槽口306的内壁308脱开,同时使壳体单元100滑离安装单元102(按箭头504表示的方向),以致斜坡206的上表面210沿壳体单元100的底面304的前端部分310上滑移微小的距离。这样,安装单元102舌状物202可以从壳体单元100的沟槽302中完全脱出,于是两个装置可以彼此分开。
图6展示当壳体单元100附着在安装单元102上时图1-5所示的置于鞋上的示范装置的正视图。图6尤其图解说明可以与鞋104的脚背匹配的拱形102b的弯曲表面和以角度θb表示的舌状物202和沟槽302的锥度,该锥度阻止壳体单元100与安装单元102附着在一起时彼此垂直地分开。
图7以实例说明相对壳体单元100应怎样安装加速度表704才能使加速度表704的加速度传感轴118相对壳体单元的平面形成锐角θa。在图7的实例中,加速度表704被安装在安装装置702上,该安装装置被这样固定在电路板700上,以致在安装装置702的平面与电路板700的平面之间形成一个锐角θa。作为替代,加速度表704可以直接用电路板700来安装,而电路板700本身可以相对壳体单元100的平面按锐角θa取向。如上所述,加速度传感轴118相对壳体单元100的平面按锐角θa取向将允许把壳体单元100固定到鞋104的脚背上,同时使加速度传感轴118的取向在鞋直接踏在地面上时平行于地面。
人们应当理解,在某些加速度表被用来测定鞋104对地面的冲击的实施方案中,加速度表704可以这样在安装单元100的范围内取向,以致加速度传感轴118相对安装单元的平面和/或电路板700的平面形成一个锐角,并且当鞋104平卧在地面上时其取向垂直于地面。
图8以实例说明怎样用具有至少两个正交的加速度传感轴的加速度表测定在不同于加速度传感轴取向方向的方向上的加速度。如图所示,加速度表704可以直接安装在电路板700上,而电路板700的取向平行于壳体单元100的平面。在所示的实施方案中,为了感受在相对x方向的加速度传感轴802按锐角θa延伸的方向(用箭头806表示)上的加速度,将加速度传感轴802的“x”分量和加速度传感轴804的“z”分量用三角函数(z*sin(θa)+x*cos(θa))予以合并。应当理解图8所示实施方案所使用的三角函数仅仅是按照本发明的这个方面可以用来将两个加速度传感轴的分量合并的等式的一个实例,而本发明不局限于使用所示的特定等式。例如,在一个实施方案中,加速度传感轴802和804的“x”分量和“z”分量不使用三角函数为每个分量的贡献加权而是简单地相加。
至此已经详细地介绍了至少一个实施方案,各种各样的修改方案和改进方案对于熟悉这项技术的人将很容易产生。这样的修改方案和改进方案倾向于落在本发明的精神和范围内。因此,前面的阐述仅仅是举例说明,但不倾向于作为限制。
