    Abstract: A method of user identification in association with an automated furniture item is provided. In embodiments, a user identification method for an automated furniture item utilizes occupancy detection and proximity detection, such as via a BLE PXP. In some embodiments, a system associated with an automated furniture item is provided, which identifies a particular user's smart device (i.e., a device configured to connect to one or more other devices and/or networks, such as a tablet computing device or smartphone) within range of the automated furniture item controller, and generates a corresponding response based on occupancy detection of that particular user. In another embodiment, one or more environment features may be controlled and/or activated, in association with the automated furniture item, based on the coordinated response of both the proximity indication of user identity and the presence detection of a particular user with respect to the automated furniture item.

    Abstract: A system and method for incorporating presence-sensing technology into furniture is provided. More particularly, the invention relates to detecting presence using a metal, adjustable bed frame. The bed frame is pulsed with a voltage to provide a charge, against which capacitance is measured. A controller determines the corresponding response based on presence detection by the frame. Conductive bushings may also be used to measure capacitance using the bed frame. In further embodiments, capacitance is measured by a foil tape surrounding a perimeter of the adjustable bed. The foil tape has a voltage based on proximity of an object to the tape, and may be embedded with a capacitive wire. A processor receives information regarding changes in capacitance and determines when a change in voltage satisfies a threshold. Based on a determination of presence, or lack of presence, a variety of corresponding features of the adjustable bed may be activated.
