A system for supporting a user in a plurality of ergonomic positions that includes a first assembly and a second, separate assembly. The first assembly includes first and second components that are adjustable to support the user in first and second different postures. The second assembly includes separate first and second components that are adjustable to support the user in the first and second postures. Upon the relative position of the second assembly first and second components being changed from the first to the second position, a second assembly processor transmits a wireless signal to a receiver of the first assembly. Upon receiving the wireless signal, a first assembly processor controls an actuator to adjust the position of the first assembly first and second components from the first position to the second position.

A user interface for a height adjustable table includes a memory for storing protocol information for a number of communication protocols, and an electronic processor configured to generate instructions for a controller of the height adjustable table, receive the protocol information from the memory, and generate a first instruction for the control box based one of the communication protocols included in the protocol information, and monitor for a first response from the controller. The electronic processor is further configured to determine whether the first response is an expected response based on the first instruction, generate a second instruction for the controller in response to the first response not being the expected response, and monitor for a second response from the controller. The electronic processor also determines whether the second response is the expected response and continues issuing subsequent instructions based on the second response not being the expected response.

An automatic elevation-adjusting system includes an elevating unit, a control panel, a setting module, a calculating module and a central control module. The control panel includes a power icon, a direction icon unit, a setting icon, and a mode icon unit. The setting icon is operable to actuate the setting module to allow a user to press the direction icon unit and the power icon to enter data including a name, height, sex and age. The calculating module calculates average elevations for playing games, writing, reading and standing based on the user's sex and age, a pre-set specification of the table and an average height corresponding to the user's sex and age. The central control module actuates the elevating unit to move a table to the average elevation for playing games, writing, reading or standing when the game, writing, reading or standing icon of the mode icon unit is pressed.

Systems and methods are disclosed for moving a tabletop of a workstation based on biometric input associated with a user, the method being performed by a controller that is configured to send control signals to actuators to move the tabletop. One method includes: accessing a user profile associated with a user device; determining parameters for moving the tabletop, based on the user profile, for eliciting desired biometric inputs from the workstation user at one or more times during the movement of the tabletop; and repeating one or more iterations of: moving the tabletop based on the parameters, by sending control signals to the actuators of the tabletop; receiving, into a data storage device, actual biometric inputs from the workstation user; comparing the received actual biometric inputs with the desired biometric inputs; and if the parameters do not elicit the desired biometric inputs, adjusting the parameters.

The invention relates to a furniture system, consisting of a height-adjustable chair and a height-adjustable table. According to the invention, the chair and the table can be height-adjusted synchronously by means of a common control device, wherein the height adjustment of the table and the height adjustment of the chair are synchronized with each other in such a way that, at different heights, an ideal distance between the tabletop and the seat surface of the chair is always maintained.

A height adjustable table is disclosed, comprising at least one electrically height adjustable table column and a control device, wherein the height adjustable table comprises an operating element with at least one fingerprint sensor. Furthermore, a method is disclosed by which the height adjustable table can be controlled using the fingerprint of a user.

An electronic component (1) of an adjustable furniture system comprises an opening (11) in a housing (10) and a plurality of contact areas (15). The component is arranged to enable establishing electrical contact to a programming interface (16) of a memory element (14) from outside through the opening (11) by means of a needle adapter (20) and to program the memory element (14).

A device for table elevation includes: two decorative covers; two guiding bases connected by a connecting rod and each having four fixed sides; plural guide bearings provided in pairs, each pair arranged opposite, and at an angle with respect to, each other; two guide posts having plural guided sides corresponding in number and position to the fixed sides, the guided sides being in contact with the guide bearings so that the guide posts can slide with respect to the guiding bases respectively, the guide bearings abutting against the guided sides in the aforesaid pairs; two driving units each including an elevating rod; and a tabletop with a guide post fixing base fixed at the top ends of the guide posts and of the elevating rods so as to move vertically with the elevating rods and the guide posts while the decorative covers and the guide posts stay vertical and stable.

A top panel elevating-type desk (1) includes a top panel (10) having an upper surface (10a) serving as a working surface, a leg body (20) having an elevating mechanism unit (23) configured to move the top panel (10) in a vertical direction (Z) and supporting the top panel (10), and an operating unit (30) configured to drive the elevating mechanism unit (23), the operating unit (30) has an operating member (31) disposed below the top panel (10), a support section (49) configured to movably support the operating member (31) in the vertical direction (Z), and a cover member (32) configured to cover the operating member (31), and a lower end portion of the cover member (32) is disposed at the same position as or below a lower end portion of the operating member (31) in the vertical direction (Z).

A portable device for controlling an external electrical adjustable apparatus is provided. The portable device has a case, a signal transmitter connected to the electrical adjustable apparatus, a tilt sensor sensing a tilted angle and a controlling operation, a memory storing a threshold angle and a processor. The processor generates a controlling signal according to the controlling operation, and transmitting the controlling signal to an electrical adjustable apparatus for making the electrical adjustable apparatus raise/lower. The processor further determines that the electrical adjustable apparatus has collision when receiving a controlling signal used to control the electrical adjustable apparatus and the tilted angle is not less than the threshold angle, and sends a stopping signal to the electrical adjustable apparatus via the signal transmitter for making the electrical adjustable apparatus stop raising/lowering when determining that the electrical adjustable apparatus has collision.
