Abstract
A system includes an input/output (I/O) interface, a processor coupled to the I/O interface, and a memory accessible to the processor. The I/O interface may be configured to receive data from one or more sensors and to provide control signals to one or more actuators. The memory may store instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to receive sensor signals from the one or more sensors and send actuator signals to the one or more actuators to control movement of a plurality of discrete stair lifts of a staircase based on the received sensor signals.
Claims19
A system comprising:
- an input/output (I/O) interface configured to receive data from one or more sensors and to provide control signals to one or more actuators;
- a processor coupled to the I/O interface;
- and
- a memory accessible to the processor, the memory storing instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to:

A system comprising:
- one or more sensors;
- one or more actuators;
- a processor coupled to the one or more sensors and to the one or more actuators;
- and
- a memory accessible to the processor, the memory storing instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to:
- receive sensor signals from the one or more sensors, the sensor signals indicative of movement relative to a staircase comprised of a plurality of discrete stair lifts;
- send actuator signals to the one or more actuators to control movement of a plurality of discrete stair lifts of a staircase based on the sensor signals.
4 more elements
A system comprising:
- a staircase comprising a plurality of discrete stair lifts, each discrete stair lift including one or more actuators responsive to control signals to raise or lower the discrete stair lift from a first elevation to a selected elevation;
- a control system comprising:
- a plurality of sensors;
- an input/output (I/O) interface coupled to the one or more actuators of the plurality of discrete stair lifts and to the plurality of sensors;
- a processor coupled to the I/O interface;
- and
- a memory accessible to the processor, the memory storing instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to:
- receive sensor signals from one or more of the plurality of sensors;
- determine a selected operation of a plurality of operations based on the received sensor signals;
- and
- selectively send the control signals to the one or more actuators to control movement of one or more of the plurality of discrete stair lifts to provide the selected operation.
