Abstract
A gas spring device of an office chair has a gas spring for height adjustment by means of a movable component and at least one sensor element, which is configured to detect a load and to generate a sensor signal depending on the detected load. In addition, the gas spring device has an electronic circuit adapted to generate user data depending on the at least one sensor signal. The user data represents one or more facts about the usage of the office chair. The at least one sensor element has at least one position sensor which is configured to detect a position of the movable component and to generate a position signal depending on the detected position.
