    ELECTRICALLY ADJUSTABLE FURNITURE PIECE
    The present invention relates to an electrically adjustable piece of furniture, in particular a height-adjustable desk.
    From the prior art, a plurality of electrically adjustable furniture is known in which at least a part of the furniture can be adjusted by motors in position electrically. In particular, desks and drawing tables are known for office space, which in particular have height-adjustable and / or tilt-adjustable tabletops.
    To operate or control the adjustable parts of such pieces of furniture are often these controls integrated, with a corresponding adjustment of the Möbel¬stücks can be made. Frequently, corresponding push buttons or switches are provided for this, with which an adjustment can be made. In addition to such pieces of furniture, in particular in modern office spaces, further devices are frequently arranged, which can each be operated by an operator with separate operating elements. Other devices include, for example, air conditioning systems, lighting devices, shading means for windows, locking devices for doors and the like ge.
    To operate these various devices, however, an operator must operate a variety of different controls which, moreover, are often also located at different positions in a room. In particular, in modern office rooms more and more such devices are provided, so that more and more switching and control elements must be provided, which can adversely affect the aesthetics of such a space.
    Based on this prior art, the present invention has the object to provide an electrically adjustable piece of furniture, with which the above-mentioned disadvantages can be avoided.
    [0006] These and other objects, which will become apparent upon reading the following description or which will be recognized by those skilled in the art, are achieved by the subject matter of the independent claim. The dependent claims further form the central idea of the present invention in a particularly advantageous manner.
    An electrically adjustable piece of furniture according to the invention comprises at least: at least one electrical actuating device with which the position of at least part of the piece of furniture can be adjusted; at least one planar sensor module, which is set up to detect 3-dimensional gestures of an operator; at least one control means, which is set up to control the at least one electrical actuating device as a function of the detected 3-dimensional gestures of an operator, wherein the control means is further connected with at least one lighting device and the control means is set up to control the at least one illumination device as a function of the detected 3-dimensional gestures of an operator.
    In other words, the present invention proposes to provide on the electrically adjustable furniture a planar sensor module to detect 3-dimensional gestures of a Bedi¬enperson and depending on these 3-dimensional gestures not only the Betäti¬gungseinrichtung of electrically operated furniture to operate, but at least also operate in a room by default arranged lighting device by 3-dimen¬sionale gestures.
    The term of the electrically adjustable piece of furniture is widely understood in the present case and includes any piece of furniture that can be changed by an electrical actuator at least partially in its appearance.
    An electric actuator can be provided by any electric motor that drives corresponding actuators, such as an electrically actuated spindle or screw mechanism.
    In the present case, as a planar sensor module, any sensor module capable of detecting 3-dimensional gestures of an operator can be used. In particular, the microchip type sensor module of the type MGC3130 (" GestIC ") may be used herein. This sensor module emits an electric near field and can detect the 3-dimensional gestures of a person due to the electrical potential changes that occur in the near electric field and correspond to the 3-dimensional gesture of an operator.
    Advantageously, the piece of furniture is a desk which has at least one height-adjustable table top, which can be adjusted by the electrical actuator at least inihrer height. Modern offices are increasingly equipped with such desks, so that an integration of the flat sensor module at or in the desk offers, as the operator spends most of the time typically at the desk. If, in the following, a desk is referred to as a piece of furniture, then this is merely an example but not restrictive for a piece of furniture.
    In this context, it is particularly preferred that the surface sensor module for an operator is not as visible on or in the piece of furniture (eg. Desk) is arranged. Preferably, the planar sensor module is arranged on or in the piece of furniture, for example below or in the tabletop, in such a way that the planar sensor module can detect 3-dimensional gestures of an operator operating in a (detection) area (in FIG Near) of the sensor module, that is, for example, above the table top and in a region above the flat sensor module, executed.
    Furthermore, it is preferred that the piece of furniture, for example the table top, at least in the (detection) area (eg above) of the flat sensor module is made of an electrically non-conductive material, preferably substantially the entire table top or the entire Furniture is provided from an electrically non-conductive material, such as a wood material, a glassy material and / or a plastic material. The use of an electrically nonconductive material above the planar sensor module is necessary in particular when the planar sensor module is arranged below the tabletop and the sensor module detects 3-dimensional gestures by electrical potential changes in a near-electric field, since the electric near field controls such a sensor module by an electrical sensor An electrically nonconductive material is to be understood as meaning a material which allows the construction of a near-electric field in such a way that corresponding potential changes can be detected to a sufficient extent. Moreover, the arrangement of the planar sensor module below or in the table top or the furniture also has the advantage that the work surface is not affected or reduced. In particular, no buttons, switches, touch pads or the like need to be arranged on or on the tabletop.
    Preferably, the planar sensor module position variable on the piece of furniture, spielsweise below the table top, arranged to adjust the position of the flat sensor module to the respective operator. It is particularly preferred that the planar sensor module as simple as possible at different positions of the furniture, for. below the table top, can be arranged, for example, by a gleitver¬schiebliche storage, by appropriately arranged locking / spring elements, by Klettele-elements and the like.
    Advantageously, the control means is connected to further (building) facilities and the control means is further arranged to control these further facilities in dependence on the detected 3-dimensional gestures of an operator. For example, electrically adjustable shading devices for windows (for example, louver devices), air conditioning systems, heating devices and / or electrical door locking devices can be controlled by the control device as further devices.
    Advantageously, the control means is arranged such that a 3-dimensional gesture of an operator only causes a control of the controllable with the control means devices after an activation gesture has been detected by the planar sensor module. Such a configuration of the control means prevents unintentional 3-dimensional gestures from being detected and devices being operated. The activation gesture can be any gesture, such as, for example, a single tap of the tabletop in the region above the planar sensor module.
    Advantageously, the control means is oriented such that a 3-dimensional gesture of an operator does not cause control of the controllable with the control means Einrich¬tungen after a deactivation gesture was detected by the planar sensor module. In other words, it is preferable that a gesture input is possible only after input of an activation gesture and such an input is no longer possible after a deactivation gesture has been performed, but is possible again only when an activation gesture has been detected.
    In this context, it is preferred that the electrically adjustable piece of furniture comprises at least one visual and / or audible signaling means to indicate that an activation gesture or a deactivation gesture has been detected by the planar sensor module. By means of such signaling means it can thus be indicated that corresponding gestures can be input so as to cause a corresponding activation of the devices. Furthermore, it is preferred that the electrical piece of furniture comprises feedback means, such as a display device, in order to enable feedback, in particular with regard to the 3-dimensional gesture of an operator detected by the planar sensor module.
    Advantageously, the control means is connected to a network having at least one computing unit. This makes it possible to carry out further control by the computer unit. It also makes it easy to submit software updates. Such an integration of the control means in a network is preferably carried out by means of at least one wireless connection, for example by the connection to a WLAN network (Wireless Local Area Network).
    The 3-dimensional gestures of an operator that can be processed by the control means are preferably stored in a memory device, wherein the memory device can be located locally on the electrically adjustable piece of furniture or in a computing unit of a network, as far as the control means is connected to such a network.
    Preferably, the control means is arranged to process wiping, circular, rotational, lifting, pusher or symbolic gestures detected by the planar sensor module and to output corresponding control commands.
    Thus, with the present invention it is possible to control, in addition to controlling the actuators of an electrically adjustable piece of furniture itself, preferably all adjustable or actuatable devices located in a room. Furthermore, it is possible to provide 3-dimensional gestures which provide the most intuitive and interactive operation possible Allow control of the electrically adjustable furniture and the other controllable devices. It is also possible to remove the control and operating elements necessary for a room, which considerably improves the aesthetic impression of such a room.
    Furthermore, the arrangement of the flat sensor module preferably below the table top has the advantage that thereby the upper table surface is not affected by styli, switches, touch pads or the like. In addition, it should be noted that the present solution can be easily integrated into existing systems by the existing control and operating elements by a planar sensor module and a corresponding
    Control means are exchanged.
    Hereinafter, a detailed description of the figures will be given. FIG. 1 shows a schematic view of a room, in particular an office space, in which a preferred embodiment of an electrically adjustable piece of furniture is arranged; Figure 2 is a schematic view of the preferred electric adjustable furniture shown in Figure 1.
    Figure 1 shows a schematic view of a room in which a preferred Ausfüh¬ form of an electrically adjustable furniture in the form of a height-adjustable desk 100 is shown. As already mentioned above, the desk is to be understood as piece of furniture 100 merely by way of example but not restrictively for a piece of furniture 100.
    As can be clearly seen in Figure 1, the desk 100 comprises two leg positions, in each of which an electrical actuator (not shown) is arranged to adjust a table top 101 in height can.
    On the underside of the table top 101, a planar sensor module 200 is arranged with integrated control means in the right front area to control the electrical Betätigungs¬einrichtungen in the base frames.
    Alternatively, the sensor module 200 - instead of below the table top 101 - are also hidden in the table top 101 attached. In particular, such a solution is suitable when the desk 100 (or in general the piece of furniture) is provided with a veneer, since then the sensor module 200 can be arranged under the veneer, so that it can not be seen from the outside. It is also possible to provide a separate recess in the table top 101 (for example, to mill in) and to arrange the sensor module 200 in this recess. Here, too, a veneer can then be arranged above the sensor module 200.
    The control means integrated in the planar sensor module 200 are furthermore connected to a lighting device 300 arranged in the room, this connection preferably being provided by means of a wireless connection 202.
    As indicated in Figure 1, the planar sensor module 200 can detect 3-dimensional gestures that are performed above the planar sensor module 200 and above the tabletop 101, and pass corresponding data to the control means, so that an actuation of the electrical controls based on the recorded 3-dimensional gestures can be made.
    As indicated in Figure 2, a control may be provided such that by a jogging (activation gesture) in the area 201 above the area sensor module 200 activates a gesture detection and 3-dimensional gestures are detected for control.
    Furthermore, audible or visual feedback signals 203, 204 may be provided on the control means or on the planar sensor module 200, in order to be able to indicate to an operator that 3-dimensional gestures may be entered (ie an activation gesture has been detected) or which 3-dimensional gestures were recorded. Also, further feedback means may be provided, for example a display device providing further feedback or more detailed feedback on the sensed gestures or operating condition of the area sensor module 200 or the control means.
    The controller may be configured such that, for example, by means of left-right wiping gestures between the control of the individual devices connected to the control means can be switched. For example, it is possible to switch between the table operation and the light operation with a swipe gesture.
    Preferably, rotary movements of the hand or of a finger are provided as three-dimensional gestures for operating the illumination device 300 in order to be able to set the illumination device 300 brighter or darker. For example, in order to adjust the height of the table top 101, a downward hand movement (one press) may be used for downward adjustment of the table top 101 and upward movement of the table top 101 (upward traction).
    The present invention is not limited to the preceding embodiment as long as it is encompassed by the subject matter of the following claims. In particular, it should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the control of an electrically adjustable furniture and a lighting device, but with the present invention, any number of different devices can be controlled by means of the provided 3-dimensional gesture input.
