Automated Adjustable Seating System

Abstract

A base supports an adjustable seat in the interests of automated weight shifting in order to relieve pressure. An orientation-adjusting system allows for the seat to be shifted to create aforementioned pressure relief. The seat has a sitting platform and a back support. The sitting platform is tiltable thanks to a joined tilting platform of the orientation-adjusting system. The back support can be inclined relative to the seat by means of a reclining mechanism of the orientation-adjusting system. A control module is programmed to direct shifting of the seat. The control module uses data gathered from a sensor system and an orientation feedback system to ensure that any adjustments made via the orientation-adjusting system are only performed when it is safe to so. A communication module and data storage unit further expand upon the capabilities of the system.
