摘要:
A work desk system is disclosed which is integrated into a corporate work environment. The work desk system includes a work desk which can be raised and lowered to promote performing various activities such managing email, carrying out a telecon, participating in a webinar, while standing rather than seated. The system is able to determine from the user's calendar when certain events are upcoming that could be performed while standing, and is able to notify the user with a message on the user's computing device of the opportunity to perform the event while standing. The system is able to monitor whether the user is seated or standing, in one implementation using an intelligent caster associated with a chair present at the work desk. The system also logs the accumulated time that the worker spends standing, and shares the information with other subsystems (health applications, health care provider, corporate entity that employs the user, etc.).

The present disclosure relates to an electronic caster system for use with a furniture component. The system may have a caster with a body portion, a wheel supported for rolling movement relative to the body portion, and a neck portion. The neck portion may be adapted to be operably coupled to the furniture component to enable swiveling movement of the body portion. A processor may be provided which is supported on the caster. A sensing component may also be included which is carried on the caster for sensing a condition affecting the caster, and generating an output signal in accordance with the sensed condition to the processor.

The present disclosure relates to a system for monitoring use of a work structure at which a user is present, and detecting if any one of one or more sensors of the system are obstructed. The system may have a work structure at which a user may perform a task. A first sensor may be used for detecting a first characteristic of use of the work structure and generating a first signal in accordance therewith. A second sensor may be used for detecting a second characteristic of use of the work structure and generating a second signal in accordance therewith. A computer based processing and monitoring subsystem may be used for analyzing the first and second signals and determining if one or the other of the first and second sensors is at least one of obstructed or malfunctioning.

The present disclosure relates to a furniture height adjustment system. The system has a height adjust system positionable on or adjacent a work surface of a furniture component, wherein the work surface is movable elevationally between lowered and raised positions. The height adjust system has a processor and a height adjust setting control in communication with the processor. The height adjust setting control has user actuatable controls for enabling a user to set and store at least one elevational position for the work surface. The processor monitors movement of the work surface when the user is moving the work surface to a previously stored elevational position and generates a signal when the work surface reaches the stored elevational position.
摘要:
The present disclosure relates to a system for monitoring occupancy of one or more pre-defined areas. The system has a scanning subsystem for wirelessly scanning a pre-defined area, using a short range wireless communications protocol, to detect a presence of one or more wireless personal electronic devices (PEDs) associated with one or more individuals present in the pre-defined area. Each of the PEDs also use the short range wireless communications protocol to radiate wireless signals that are detected by the scanning subsystem. A data analysis/processing subsystem analyzes data generated by the scanning subsystem relating to detected PEDs in the pre-defined area. A notification subsystem analyzes the information relating to an occupancy level of the pre-defined area.
摘要:
The present system relates to an exercise system comprising an appliance which acts much like an exercise device able, which is able to be used by an individual to enable repeated movements of one or more limbs, to thus enable the user to achieve a low level aerobic activity (e.g., low level exercise) while performing other non-exercise related tasks. A communication control module communicates with a personal electronic device located at the exercise device. A management subsystem communicates with the communication control module and is configured to track usage of the exercise device by at least one individual, and to implement at least one gamification subsystem. The gamification subsystem uses the tracked usage for the purpose of executing a program to reward usage of the exercise device. The gamification subsystem may also be configured to report information it generates to at least one of the individual or an entity associated with operation of the exercise device.

The present disclosure relates to a system for tracking usage, as well as type of usage, location and occupancy, of at least one furniture component, for example a desk, in one or more facilities. The system uses a docking station associated with the desk. The docking station has a Universal Serial Bus (USB) expansion port and at least one of a port or a wireless subsystem for enabling a user to make at least one of a wired or wireless connection with the docking station. The docking station communicates with a network and includes a dongle which is coupled to the USB expansion port. The dongle has programmed information stored therein associated with the desk. An application is used which is stored on a user's personal electronic device. The application reads the programmed information when the user establishes a communication link with the network via the docking station. The system also uses a remote subsystem to track usage of the desk by the user.
