Abstract
A method for operating a system is formed by at least one furniture element, preferably a furniture drive or a furniture lock, with which at least one part of an item of furniture can be driven or activated, and at least one control device for controlling the at least one furniture element with a control command via an operating command. In a first receiving method step, the at least one control device wirelessly receives at least one digital operating command by at least one receiving device and, in a transmitting method step, the at least one control device wirelessly transmits at least one digital control command to a receiving device of the at least one furniture element by at least one transmitting device.
Claims20
A method for operating a system comprising a furniture element configured to drive or activate a part of an item of furniture, and a control device for actuating the furniture element with a control command through an operating command, the method comprising:
- wirelessly receiving a digital operating command using a receiving device of a control device in a first receiving step,
- wirelessly transmitting a digital control command to a receiving device of the furniture element by a transmitting device,
- effecting a reception of the wirelessly transmitted digital control command by the receiving device of the furniture element in a second receiving step, and
- effecting an activation of the furniture element through the digital control command wirelessly received by the receiving device of the furniture element using the control device within a period of less than 100 ms from the transmission of the digital control command.
A computer program product stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium, the computer program comprising commands from a memory unit to be brought into data connection with a processing unit configured to, when the commands are executed by the processing unit, perform:
- wirelessly receiving a digital operating command using a receiving device of a control device in a first receiving step,
- wirelessly transmitting a digital control command to a receiving device of the furniture element by a transmitting device,
- effecting a reception of the wirelessly transmitted digital control command by the receiving device of the furniture element in a second receiving step, and
- effecting an activation of the furniture element through the digital control command wirelessly received by the receiving device of the furniture element using the control device within a period of less than 100 ms from the transmission of the digital control command.
A system comprising:
- a furniture element configured to drive or activate a part of an item of furniture, and
- a control device for actuating the furniture element, the control device including:
- a transmitting device configured to wirelessly transmit a digital control command to the furniture element, and
- a first receiving device configured to wirelessly receive a digital operating command,
- wherein the control device is configured to actuate the furniture element to:
- wirelessly receive the digital operating command using the first receiving device in a first receiving step,
- wirelessly transmit the digital control command to a second receiving device of the furniture element by the transmitting device,
- effect a reception of the wirelessly transmitted digital control command by the second receiving device in a second receiving step, and
- effect an activation of the furniture element through the digital control command wirelessly received by the second receiving device using the control device within a period of less than 100 ms from the transmission of the digital control command.
