Zusammenfassung:A system for a shoe sole with at least one module is provided, the module including at least one piezoelectric element adapted to produce an electrical signal upon mechanical deformation of the at least one piezo element. The electrical signal is adapted to be used as signal for deriving at least one motion parameter of the shoe sole. The system further includes at least a first energy storage and a second energy storage, the at least first energy storage and second energy storages being adapted to store electrical energy obtained from the electrical signal, and the second energy storage is loaded only after the first energy storage reaches a first energy threshold.
