Method, apparatus, and system for implementing seat lifting

A seat lifter, comprising:

• a seat portion, the seat portion comprising a front portion, a rear portion, one or more first connection points integrated into the rear portion, and one or more second connection points integrated into the front portion;
• a foot rest portion comprising a semi-circular cut-out configured to prevent the foot rest portion from contacting the seat portion;
• an input device that receives a first user input from a user and a second user input from the user, the first user input indicating a first request for the seat lifter to lift the user from a sitting position and the second user input indicating a second request indicating a request to lift the foot rest portion to an elevated position;
• one or more first pistons coupled to the one or more first connection points integrated into the rear portion of the seat portion, the one or more first pistons, when actuated in response to receiving the first user input, causing the rear portion of the seat portion of the seat lifter to lift relative to the front portion of the seat portion of the seat lifter, the rear portion of the seat portion of the seat lifter being lifted by a first height above a seat to which the seat lifter is affixed;
• one or more second pistons coupled to the one or more second connection points integrated into the front portion of the seat portion, the one or more second pistons, when actuated in response to receiving the first user input, causing the front portion of the seat portion of the seat lifter to lift by a second height above the seat to which the seat lifter is affixed, the second height being less than the first height, wherein the one or more second pistons, when actuated, lift the front portion of the seat lifter independently from the rear portion of the seat lifter being lifted by the one or more first pistons, when actuated;
• and
• at least one of a pressure sensor or a weight sensor integrated with at least one of the one or more first pistons or the one or more second pistons and configured to detect at least one of a pressure or weight and in response to detecting at least one of the pressure or the weight, at least one of the one or more first pistons or the one or more second pistons actuate to lower at least one of the front portion of the seat portion of the seat lifter or the rear portion of the seat portion of the seat lifter;
• one or more third pistons coupled to the foot rest portion, the one or more third pistons, when actuated in response to receiving the second user input, lift a rear portion of the foot rest portion to a third height relative to a floor surface;
• and
• one or more fourth pistons coupled to the foot rest portion, the one or more fourth pistons, when actuated in response to receiving the second user input, lift a front portion of the foot rest portion by a fourth height relative to the floor surface, the fourth height relative to the floor surface being more than the third height relative to the floor surface.
