FIRST TO MARKET · Publicly documented 2017 · Invent Deposition #702

Among the 1,739 depositions in the 2017 Invent Depositions corpus, #702 is the keystone of the cluster (#702–#705, #740, #1118, #1136–#1137, #1674–#1676) that became Project 09 — Smart Shoe Platform on cri-one.com.

“smart shoe media comm center — usb and impact data exchange to find energy use, activity use, and mile use in order to keep up a productive life style.” — Christopher Gabriel Brown, 2017

From one line to an engineered product

The 2017 abstract specifies a shoe as a media-and-communications hub: USB data exchange, impact sensing, and energy/activity/distance telemetry, all in service of an active lifestyle. The follow-on entries add pressure-wire circuits for athlete testing (#704), analysis software (#705, #740), Wi-Fi telemetry (#1118, #1136), and replaceable sensor modules (#1137) — a full constellation specifying the platform.

The idea graduated from a one-line deposition into a patent-pending product family without changing its founding claim: the shoe is a sensor-and-comms platform, not just footwear.
