ABSTRACT:
An article of footwear contains an integrated video gaming apparatus, a cellular phone, and a GPS receiver, whereby the footwear is able to encode and transmit its own location to a central monitoring station, along with a cell phone number (or other unique identifier) of a remote person. Using the encoded location information of the wearer of the footwear, and the encoded cell phone number of the remote person, the central monitoring station is able to look up the nearest street address corresponding to the location of the wearer and send an SMS text message with that address to the remote person. If the remote person is wearing the inventive footwear, the central monitoring station can send the remote person the street address of the wearer, or route information, with or without map data, for display on their video gaming device, such that they can “intercept” to meet up with one another.
