Abstract
A method for a user to adjust a pressure in an inflatable device. The method includes acts of adjusting the pressure in the inflatable device with a control device to a pressure preferred by the user, where the pressure preferred by the user has a first value, and establishing a first setting corresponding to the pressure preferred by the user with the control device, and automatically establishing a second setting corresponding to a second pressure having a second value once the first setting is established, where the second value differs from the first value by a predetermined amount.
Claims13
A method by which a user may establish a plurality of pressure settings to adjust a pressure in an inflatable device which includes at least a first chamber, the method comprising acts of:
- adjusting the pressure in the first chamber with a control device to a pressure preferred by the user, wherein the pressure preferred by the user has a first value;
- establishing a first setting corresponding to the pressure preferred by the user with the control device;
- establishing a second setting for the first chamber, the second setting corresponding to a second pressure having a second value, wherein the second value is less than the first value by a predetermined amount;
- and
- establishing a third setting for the first chamber, the third setting corresponding to a third pressure having a third value, wherein the third value is greater than the first value by the predetermined amount,
- wherein the second setting and the third setting are automatically established once the first setting is established.
