Control elements for tracking and movement of furniture and interior architectural elements

A system for operating a furniture item to move within a room to reconfigure the room, the system comprising:

• a motor adapted to move the furniture item along a surface of the room;
• at least one of a controller and a data processing apparatus, programmed to perform operations comprising:
• obtaining a desired movement profile of the furniture item along the surface of the room;
• performing an initial movement of the furniture item along the surface of the room using the motor, the initial movement is performed to move the furniture item from a first location to a second location in the room according to the desired movement profile;
• generating a profile of an operation parameter, wherein the profile of the operation parameter comprises a number of values of the operation parameter that are collected during the initial movement;
• upon performing a subsequent movement of the furniture item after the initial movement, measuring an indicator of the operation parameter and determining a measured operation parameter based on the indicator of the operation parameter;
• comparing a value of the measured operation parameter to a corresponding value of the number of values of the operation parameter in the profile of the operation parameter;
• if a differential between the value of the measured operation parameter and the corresponding value of the operation parameter in the profile of the operation parameter exceeds a predetermined threshold, adjusting the subsequent movement of the furniture item;
• and
• updating the profile of the operation parameter by replacing at least one of the number of values of the operation parameter in the profile of the operation parameter with the corresponding value of the measured operation parameter;
• and
• a memory unit for storing the profile of the operation parameter.
