  • Patent number: 11571068
    Abstract: A control system for controlling an adjusting drive for an item of furniture includes a control device connected to the adjusting drive, and a first operating unit. The control device is configured to receive signals from the first operating unit transmitted wirelessly via a transmission unit over a first transmission link, and to control the adjusting drive as a function of the signals received. The control device is also configured to receive further signals from a second operating unit transmitted wirelessly via the transmission unit over a second transmission link and to control the adjusting drive as a function of the further signals received. The second transmission link differs from the first transmission link.

  • Patent number: 11419553
    Abstract: The invention relates to an analyzing unit (9?) for connecting to at least one sensor (12) which can be coupled to sleeping or reclining furniture in order to detect vibrations, movement, and/or sound. The analyzing unit (9?) is designed to process and analyze the signals of the at least one sensor (12) and detect physiological parameters (P) of a person using the sleeping or reclining furniture, and the analyzing unit (9?) is designed to transmit data to or exchange data with at least one external component. The invention further relates to a method for analyzing signals of at least one such sensor (12) and to sleeping or reclining furniture, in particular a bed (1), comprising at least one such sensor (12).

  • Patent number: 11419554
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electric motor furniture drive for sleeping or reclining furniture, comprising a number of adjusting motors (7, 8) for moving at least one movable furniture component relative to an additional furniture component by means of an electric motor and comprising a manual operation unit (10) for operating the adjusting motors (7, 8). The electric motor furniture drive is characterized in that at least one sensor (12) is provided for detecting vibrations and/or sound, said sensor being coupleable to the sleeping furniture, and an analyzing unit is provided which is connected to the at least one sensor (12). The analyzing unit is designed to process and analyze the signals of the at least one sensor (12) and detect physiological parameters of a person using the sleeping or reclining furniture.
