MOTORIZED FURNITURE

A motorized furniture according to embodiments of the present invention includes a control unit. The control unit transitions to a first falling asleep operation at second time where the elapse of time since first time, where the sleep of a user of the motorized furniture is detected, is equal to or larger than a first time threshold. The control unit performs a second falling asleep operation when a variation of a signal corresponding to a biological signal of the user in a first period during the first falling asleep operation is smaller than the variation in a first prior period, which exists prior to the first period, during the first falling asleep operation or when the absolute value of a difference between the variation in the first period and the variation in the first prior period is smaller than a first variation threshold. In the second falling asleep operation, the control unit performs at least one of: an operation of decreasing the inclination of a section of the motorized furniture; an operation of decreasing the gap between the height of a head part of a mattress of the motorized furniture and the height of a waist part of the mattress; and an operation of decreasing the difference between the pressure in the head part and the pressure in the waist part. The embodiments provide a motorized furniture capable of offering more comfortable sleep.

Arrangements with resting units with adjustable lying and sitting surfaces as well as method for controlling resting units

An arrangement having at least one resting unit (B; Hyx) each having a lying/sitting surface (B1) and an actuator (A; A1 . . . ), configured to act on the lying/sitting surface, to adjust a height and/or firmness profile (V1, . . . ). An input value (KG), which corresponds to the standard size of an article of clothing representing a given person in a clothing size system is specified via at least one input unit (EE). A control device (S) derives a control signal (SL) from the input value and outputs the control signal to the actuator, so that the actuator autonomously presets a height/firmness profile, which is adapted to physical body parameters of the person represented by the clothing size, in the lying/sitting surface. A data network (DNi) enables the control unit to output control signals (SLyx) to the actuator of a resting unit (Hyx) selected for the person in such an arrangement.

Multi-function mattress with MagLev suspension and elastic cushion module
10709257 · 2020-07-14 · ·

The present invention relates to a multi-function mattress composed of MagLev suspension, stretched net surface and adjustable underneath elastic cushion modules for optimized body contour-fitting and head-shoulder-neck massage by the motorized roller. This mattress design provides a unique solution to achieve the best body contour-fitting with a simple structure. The MagLev suspension technology helps generate the best support for the entire body during the sleep. It also provides comfort and relaxation that is associated with the sleep-cool technique, which is achieved through the underneath hollow structure. This mattress can be made at efficient cost to perform multi-function. The energy-efficient design also reduces its impact on the environment.

Bed apparatus

A bed apparatus including, at least, two drivers or a first driver and a second driver, the first driver being in linkage with the second driver, comprises: a calculating means for calculating a calculated bed state value, based on the first driver and the second driver; an error detecting means for detecting error between the calculated bed state value and a designated bed state value designated by the user; and, an error correcting means for correcting the detected error when an error is detected by the error detecting means. As a result, it is possible to provide a bed apparatus that can coincide the designated state of the bed apparatus with the actual state of the bed apparatus by appropriately correcting the error between the drivers.
