Week 6 Post

Storage is a key component of my invention idea because some kind of device in the ski boot would have to store data, instructions, and information for future use. The storage medium that might be used is a memory card, which could easily be installed in the device to be placed on the ski boot. It could store information such as the position of the buckles, so that the boots would buckle to the same tightness each time the skier pushed the button.

A miniature hard dish might also be a good option. A hard disk or a memory card could easily be transported, which would be helpful if a skier were to get a new pair of boots and still wanted the buckling function. These devices could also be taken out of the boot and connected to a computer, so that the user could read the information stored and change it if necessary.

Users of my product could use cloud storage to ensure that the information from their boot device is saved somewhere other than on the memory card or disk. If their card were damaged while skiing or if it was lost, this information would be stored through an Internet service. This information could easily be retrieved by logging in to the cloud storage provider, although the user may need to pay a fee to use this service.
