  • Patent number: 10631661
    Abstract: A voice control system for a seating/reclining furniture includes the seating/reclining furniture having at least one component which is manipulated by an actuator, an intelligent personal assistant (IPA) which accepts a voice command to actuate the actuator and to convert the voice command into a control command for controlling the actuator, a data interface which receives the control command from the intelligent personal assistant (IPA), and a control unit which is connected in a technical signal manner between the data interface and the actuator. The control unit selectively actuates the actuator based on the control command.

  • Publication number: 20180199716
    Abstract: A seating/reclining furniture includes at least one component selected from a seat part, a back part, a headrest, a footrest, and an armrest, an actuator which manipulates the at least one component, and a control device which controls the actuator. The control device includes a command recognition module and a command conversion module. The command recognition module checks at least one command pattern initiated by a user for a correspondence with at least one predefined command pattern which is representative of an actuation mode of the actuator. The command conversion module converts the command pattern into a control command for controlling the actuator based on the correspondence of the at least one command pattern to the at least one predefined command pattern.
