Patent Watch: Apple’s Next Gen “Nike+” has Sensors, LBS Ads
Apple’s application for the Smart Garment patent was published today.
Apple Insider has a nice discussion of the technologies included, but in short they include:
- internal sensors to measure how the foot strikes and potentially to tell when the shoe is “past its prime”
- perhaps a move to other brands
- the ability to compare performance between one shoe and another
- GPS for tracking distance location and providing LBS ads/POIs info while working out
