  • Patent number: 10376068
    Abstract: A seat cushion includes a cushion body, a weight measuring unit coupled to the cushion body, a tilt adjusting unit, a storage unit storing pre-established mapping data, and a controlling unit. The weight measuring unit measures, when a user is sitting on the cushion body, weight of the user applied to the cushion body so as to generate a result of weight measurement. The controlling unit is connected to the weight measuring unit, the tilt adjusting unit and the storage unit, and controls, when the seat cushion is operated in an automatic mode, the tilt adjusting unit to adjust a seat angle of the cushion body with respect to a horizontal reference plane based on the result of weight measurement, a height value and the mapping data.

  • Publication number: 20180333843
    Abstract: The remote control system includes a server unit and a remote controlling device receiving input of a first action command. The remote controlling device transmits the first action command to a first controlled device so as to enable the first controlled device to perform a first action and to transmit a relevant notice to the server unit. The server unit transmits, when receiving the notice, to each of second controlled devices, a respective one of second action commands that is included in a second action command set corresponding to the first action command, and that enables the second controlled device to perform a second action corresponding to the respective one of the second action commands.
