Ergonomic Motion Chair - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240049881 titled 'Ergonomic Motion Chair
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a chair that has a seat capable of movement around an axis of rotation above the seat plane. The seat is equipped with a sensor that communicates with a computer system to track movement. The seat can also pivot around a second axis of rotation, allowing for a range of motion. An actuation system controlled by the computer system can move the seat to desired positions or prevent it from being positioned at certain locations within the range of motion. The computer system includes an application that promotes user movement within the seat and allows the movement of the seat to be used for various purposes such as gaming, health monitoring, activity tracking, etc. The chair includes a mechanism with glides received in curved structures to provide movement around the axes.
- The chair has a seat that can move around an axis of rotation above the seat plane.
- The seat is equipped with a sensor that tracks movement and communicates with a computer system.
- The seat can also pivot around a second axis of rotation, providing a range of motion.
- An actuation system controlled by the computer system can move the seat to desired positions or prevent it from being positioned at certain locations.
- The computer system includes an application that promotes user movement within the seat and allows the movement to be used for gaming, health monitoring, activity tracking, etc.
- The chair includes a mechanism with glides in curved structures to facilitate movement around the axes.
Potential Applications:
- Gaming: The chair's movement can enhance the gaming experience by providing dynamic seating positions.
- Health Monitoring and Treatment: The chair's movement can be utilized for monitoring and treating certain health conditions, such as promoting blood circulation or relieving muscle tension.
- Activity Tracking: The chair's movement can be used to track and encourage physical activity, such as counting steps or calories burned.
Problems Solved:
- Limited movement options: The chair provides a wide range of motion, allowing users to adjust their seating positions according to their preferences or needs.
- Sedentary behavior: The chair promotes movement and discourages prolonged sitting, which can help combat the negative effects of sedentary behavior.
Benefits:
- Enhanced user experience: The chair's movement capabilities provide a more immersive and interactive experience for users, whether for gaming or other activities.
- Improved health and well-being: The chair's movement encourages physical activity and can help prevent the negative health effects associated with prolonged sitting.
- Versatility: The chair's ability to adjust and move in various ways makes it suitable for different applications and user preferences.
Original Abstract Submitted
a chair that provides movement of a seat about an axis of rotation above the seat plane with the seat having a sensor in communication with a computer system that tracks movement. the seat may be simultaneously pivotable about a second axis of rotation defining a range of motion for the seat about the two axes. an actuation system in communication with the computer system can move the seat to desired positions and/or prevent the seat from being positioned at certain locations within the range of motion. the computer system may also include an application that can promote user movement within the seat and allow movement of the seat to be used for gaming, health monitoring and treatment, activity tracking, and the like. the chair may include a mechanism that has one or more glides operably received in curved structures to provide the movement about the axes.
