Abstract
An airbed system includes: an air mattress comprising one or more air chambers; an adjustable base comprising one or more articulation points; and a pump connected to the one or more air chambers of the air mattress; and a control system, wherein the control system is configured to: control the adjustable base to perform an articulation operation; and while the articulation operation is ongoing, control the pump to inflate or deflate the one or more air chambers of the air mattress based on the articulation operation being performed.
Claims20
An airbed system, comprising:
- an air mattress comprising one or more air chambers;
- an adjustable base comprising one or more articulation points;
- and
- a pump connected to the one or more air chambers of the air mattress;
- and
- a control system, wherein the control system is configured to:
- control the adjustable base to perform an articulation operation;
- and
- while the articulation operation is ongoing, control the pump to inflate or deflate the one or more air chambers of the air mattress based on the articulation operation being performed.
A method for inflating or deflating in an airbed system to compensate for pressure changes caused by articulation, the method comprising:
- performing, by an adjustable base of the airbed system, an articulation operation affecting a configuration of an air mattress of the airbed system;
- and
- while the articulation operation is ongoing, inflating or deflating, by a pump of the airbed system, one or more air chambers of the air mattress based on the articulation operation being performed.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having processor-executable instructions stored thereon for inflating or deflating in an airbed system to compensate for pressure changes caused by articulation, the processor-executable instructions, when executed, facilitating performance of the following:
- performing, by an adjustable base of the airbed system, an articulation operation affecting a configuration of an air mattress of the airbed system;
- and
- while the articulation operation is ongoing, inflating or deflating, by a pump of the airbed system, one or more air chambers of the air mattress based on the articulation operation being performed.
