The adjustment elements are configured to detect contacts and actuations of components of the adjustment elements and to generate an adjustment signal based thereon. The sensor element is configured to determine the positions of the elements and a posture of a user and to generate a position signal based thereon. The calculation unit is configured to generate a first feedback signal based on the position signal, which contains information about a proposed change of the positions. One of the components is assigned to the proposed change. The calculation unit is configured to verify a contact or actuation of the assigned component and to generate a second feedback signal based thereon. The operating element is configured to output the first and second feedback signals.

    摘要: A manual operating unit for a furniture control, which is provided in particular for seating or lounging furniture, has a housing with a top side and a bottom side. A first and a third operating panel are defined on the top side and a second and a fourth operating panel are defined on the bottom side, which are located opposite to the first and third operating panels. Actuating the first and second operating panels triggers a first operating signal in each case, whereas actuating the third and fourth operating panels triggers a second operating signal in each case. The housing is movably mounted over push-buttons arranged in the housing at least in the region of the first and third operating panels in such a way that a first of said push-buttons is actuated by moving the housing in the region of the first operating panel and a second of said push-buttons is actuated by moving the housing in the region of the third operating panel.
