Abstract
Methods and apparatus to analyze desk heights are disclosed. A disclosed example apparatus includes a distance sensor to measure a distance from a computing device on a table surface to a floor surface, an orientation sensor to measure an orientation of the distance sensor relative to a direction of gravity, at least one memory, instructions, and processor circuitry to execute the instructions to calculate at least one of a first height of the table surface from the floor surface or a second height of at least a portion of the computing device to the floor surface based on the orientation and the distance.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- a distance sensor to measure a distance from a table surface to a floor surface;
- an orientation sensor to measure an orientation of the distance sensor relative to a direction of gravity;
- at least one memory;
- instructions;
- and
- processor circuitry to execute the instructions to calculate at least one of a first height of the table surface from the floor surface or a second height of at least a portion of a computing device on the table surface to the floor surface based on the orientation and the distance.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions, which when executed, cause processor circuitry to:
- determine a distance from a table surface to a floor surface based on information from a distance sensor;
- determine an orientation of the distance sensor relative to a direction of gravity based on information from an orientation sensor;
- and
- calculate at least one of a first height of the table surface from the floor surface or a second height of at least a portion of a computing device on the table surface to the floor surface based on the orientation and the distance.
A method comprising:
- determining, via a distance sensor, a distance from a table surface to a floor surface;
- determining, via an orientation sensor, an orientation of the distance sensor relative to a direction of gravity;
- and
- calculating, by executing instructions with processor circuitry, at least one of a first height of the table surface from the floor surface or a second height of at least a portion of a computing device on the table surface to the floor surface based on the orientation and the distance.
