Abstract
A method may comprise receiving, at a central controller, a command, from a remote control, to adjust a feature of a first component of an air mattress framework; relaying, from the central controller, the command to the first component; receiving from the first component at the central controller, an indication of the success of the command; and relaying the indication from the central controller to the remote control.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, at a central controller, a command, from a remote control, to adjust a feature of a first component of an air mattress framework;
- relaying, from the central controller, the command to the first component;
- receiving from the first component at the central controller, an indication of the success of the command;
- and
- relaying the indication from the central controller to the remote control.
A system comprising:
- a central controller including a pump for an air mattress;
- an articulation controller wirelessly coupled to the central controller and configured to adjust a foundation supporting the air mattress;
- a first remote control configured to control the pump, wherein a command to adjust the pump inputted on the first remote control instructs the pump to adjust pressure based on the command;
- and
- a second remote control configured to control both the foundation and pump and wherein a command inputted on the second remote control is wirelessly transmitted to the central controller and wherein the central controller relays the command inputted on the second remote to the articulation controller or the pump.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions, which when executed by at least one processor, configure the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
- receiving, at a central controller, a command, from a remote control, to adjust a feature of a first component of an air mattress framework;
- relaying, from the central controller, the command to the first component;
- receiving from the first component at the central controller, an indication of the success of the command;
- and
- relaying the indication from the central controller to the remote control.
