Ergonomic seating system, tilt-lock control and remote powering method and apparatus

A work environment adjustment system for supporting a user in a plurality of ergonomic positions, the system comprising:

• a first furniture assembly including at least first and second components that are adjustable between at least first and second relative positions to support the user in first and second different postures, the first furniture assembly further including a processor, a sensor for sensing the relative juxtapositions between the first and second components and generating a sensor signal indicating the relative juxtaposition, and a wireless transceiver, the processor programmed to use sensor signal to determine at least one time at which to change the position of the first and second components form the first position to the second position;
• a second furniture assembly separate from the first assembly and including a user interface, a processor and a transceiver;
• wherein, upon the first furniture assembly processor determining that the position of the first and second components should be changed from the first position to the second position, the first furniture assembly processor transmits a wireless signal to the second furniture assembly transceiver and, upon the second furniture assembly transceiver receiving the signal from the first furniture assembly processor, the second furniture assembly processor presents an indication to a user via the interface to encourage a position change.

A work environment adjustment system for supporting a user in a plurality of ergonomic positions, the system comprising:

• a first assembly having at least first and second components that are adjustable between at least first and second relative positions to support the user in first and second different postures, the first assembly further including a processor, an actuator and a wireless receiver;
• a chair assembly including at least first and second components that are adjustable between at least first and second relative positions to support the user in the first and second different postures, the chair assembly further including a processor and a wireless transmitter;
• wherein, upon the relative position of the chair assembly first and second components being changed from the first position to the second position, the chair assembly processor transmits a wireless signal to the receiver;
• wherein, upon receiving the wireless signal at the receiver, the first assembly processor controls the actuator to adjust the position of the first assembly first and second components from the first position to the second position.
