LIANG-TAI TSAI has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
Abstract: A smart mat includes a stepping potential generation unit, a computing processor and a transmission processor for sensing the stepping direction of a stepper to control the operation of a device. The stepping potential generation unit includes an upper mat, an isolating airgap layer, a lower mat and at least one high-resistance strips. When the stepper stands on the smart mat to press the stepping potential generation unit, a part of the stepping potential generation unit is pressed by an open-circuit state to form a closed circuit and generate a potential. The computing processor uses the distributed position of each potential and the time sequence of distributing each potential to compute and analyse a potential stepping process distribution area to obtain a stepping direction, so as to control the operation of the device through the transmission processor.
