Abstract
The present disclosure provides one example of an easy chair in light of market trends related to health and fitness. The easy chair of the present disclosure includes a seat body configured for a user to sit thereon, and further includes a monitoring part configured to determine whether the user is performing muscle strength training on the seat body and detect the user's performance of the muscle strength training, and a notification part configured to notify the user of a detection result of the monitoring part in a form of recognizable information.
Claims9
An easy chair with a seat body configured for a user to sit thereon, comprising:
- a monitoring part configured to detect whether the user is performing muscle strength training on the seat body and detect the user's performance of the muscle strength training;
- and
- a notification part configured to notify the user of a detection result of the monitoring part in a form of recognizable information.
An easy chair with a seat body configured for a user to sit thereon, comprising:
- a posture change mechanism including a movable portion for changing a posture of the seat body, the posture change mechanism being configured to displace the movable portion to a position for muscle strength training;
- a controller configured to control an operation of the posture change mechanism, the controller being configured to execute a first function to displace the movable portion to the position for the muscle strength training when receiving an indication of the user's intention to perform the muscle strength training;
- a monitoring part configured to detect whether the user is performing the muscle strength training on the seat body and detect the user's performance of the muscle strength training;
- and
- a notification part configured to notify the user of a detection result of the monitoring part in a form of recognizable information,
- wherein the controller is configured to execute a second function to restore the movable portion to a state before the first function is executed, when it is determined by the monitoring part that the muscle strength training has ended.
An easy chair with a seat body configured for a user to sit thereon, comprising:
- a posture change mechanism including a movable portion for changing a posture of the seat body;
- a first notification part configured to notify the user to displace a position of the movable portion to a position for muscle strength training in a form of recognizable information when receiving an indication of the user's intention to perform the muscle strength training;
- a monitoring part configured to detect whether the user is performing the muscle strength training on the seat body and detect the user's performance of the muscle strength training;
- and
- a second notification part configured to notify the user of a detection result of the monitoring part in a form of recognizable information.
A vehicle seat mounted on a vehicle, comprising:
- a monitoring part configured to detect whether the user is performing muscle strength training on a seat body and detect the user's performance of the muscle strength training;
- and
- a notification part configured to notify the user of a detection result of the monitoring part in a form of recognizable information.
A seat system with a vehicle seat mounted on a vehicle, comprising:
- a posture change mechanism including a movable portion for changing a posture of the vehicle seat, the posture change mechanism being configured to displace the movable portion to a position for muscle strength training;
- a controller configured to control an operation of the posture change mechanism, the controller being configured to execute a function to displace the movable portion to the position for the muscle strength training when receiving an indication of the user's intention to perform the muscle strength training;
- a monitoring part configured to receive an input of a target value for the muscle strength training, detect whether the user is performing muscle strength training on the vehicle seat, and detect the user's performance of the muscle strength training;
- and
- a notification part configured to notify the user of a detection result of the monitoring part and information associated with the input target value in a form of recognizable information.
