Brief Patent Description - Full Patent Description - Patent Application Claims BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a shoe, and more particularly to a shoe having a physical measuring device to measure weight, fat ratio, rate or movement, caloric use information, or other physical information of users. [0003] 2. Description of the Prior Art [0004] Typical shoes are provided for being worn by users, but may not be used to detect or to provide weight, fat ratio, rate or movement, caloric use information, or other physical information of users. [0005] Some of typical tools may comprise various detecting devices, to measure or detect forces, torques, etc. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,125,016 to Lehoczky et al. discloses a typical battery operated torque wrench having digital display, and comprising one or more variable resistors to detect torques generated by or acted by the torque wrench. However, such detecting devices may not be introduced into shoes to detect or provide physical information of users. [0006] U.S. Pat. No. 4,864,903 to Bickford et al. discloses another typical apparatus of determining torque, presenting digital torque readout and automatic cycling and termination of wrench operation with pressure transducers. However, similarly, such detecting devices may not be introduced into shoes to detect or provide physical information of users. [0007] U.S. Pat. No. 6,784,799 to Hsien discloses a further typical tension meter and wrench combination. However, similarly, such tension meters also may not be introduced into shoes to detect or provide physical information of users. [0008] The present invention has arisen to mitigate and/or obviate the afore-described disadvantages of the conventional shoes. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0009] The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a shoe including a physical measuring device to measure weight, fat ratio, rate or movement, caloric use information, or other physical information of users, and to allow users to easily and readily know their physical conditions. [0010] In accordance with one aspect of the invention, there is provided a shoe comprising a shoe sole including a heel portion having a chamber formed therein, a detecting device disposed in the chamber of the heel portion of the shoe sole, and arranged to be depressed and actuated by a heel portion of a user, a processor device attached to the shoe and electrically coupled to the detecting device, to receiving information from the detecting device, and to process the information into physical information of the user, and a display device coupled to the processor device, to receive and display the physical information from the processor device, and to allow the user to readily know his physical conditions. [0011] An insole may further be provided and engaged into the shoe, and may include a rear portion disposed above the detecting device. The detecting device may be secured onto or contacted with the rear portion of the insole and engaged into the chamber of the heel portion of the shoe sole. [0012] A signal receiving device may further be provided and electrically coupled to the display device, and a signal transmitting device may be electrically coupled to the processor device, to transmit the physical information from the processor device to the display device and to have the physical information to be displayed in the display device. [0013] The shoe may include a shoe front having a recess formed therein to receive the processor device. A housing may further be provided to receive the signal receiving device and the display device. [0014] Further objectives and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from a careful reading of the detailed description provided hereinbelow, with appropriate reference to the accompanying drawings. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [0015] FIG. 1 is a partial exploded view of a shoe in accordance with the present invention; [0016] FIG. 2 is a cross sectional view of the shoe; [0017] FIG. 3 is a partial exploded view similar to FIG. 1, illustrating the other arrangement of the shoe; [0018] FIG. 4 is a cross sectional view of the shoe as shown in FIG. 3; [0019] FIG. 5 is a cross sectional view similar to FIGS. 2 and 4, illustrating the further arrangement of the shoe; [0020] FIG. 6 is a cross sectional view similar to FIGS. 2, 4 and 5, illustrating the still further arrangement of the shoe; and [0021] FIG. 7 is a perspective view illustrating a signal receiving device and a display device of the shoe.
