Abstract: Embodiments of this invention relate to theater seating, and more particularly to theater seating comprising a user interface that can be used to control various elements of the seat, and allow the user to select the language in which media is presented (i.e., systems and methods for providing language selection technology through interface with cinema servers). Embodiments of this system comprise a touchscreen user interface, a processing and IO circuit board, and a head phone audio jack. In some embodiments the touchscreen user interface comprises a menu selectable device. In some embodiments the menus show various controllable features selected from a list comprising: multiple language outputs with volume controls, position control for the seat back recline and foot elevation, potentially a seat temperature control with heat and cooling, and even potentially a customer rewards number input device capable of theater concessions ordering.

Abstract: This invention relates to theater seating, and more particularly to simultaneously controlling a plurality of seats in a theater comprising a user interface and transmitter that can be used to control various elements of the seat, and a receiver and motor control unit attached to each theater seat. In some embodiments, a signal transmitter operated by an individual at a theater may simultaneously control the various elements of any group of seats.

Abstract: Embodiments of this invention relate to theater seating, and more particularly to electrically powered reclining theater seating comprising an integrated power supply for providing power to several theater seats, while providing a battery backup system. In some embodiments the integrated power supply unit comprises an AC Source, an AC/DC conversion unit, batteries, a processing and reverse polarity protection unit, an output switching circuit, DC power supply with a battery backup, and connectors for providing DC current to a plurality of theater seats, which can be used as the power source for powered recliners.
