Claims41
An adjustable bed handheld remote control, comprising:
- a handheld housing;
- a touch screen user interface on a front face of the handheld housing capable of displaying or deleting one or more controls such that each displayed control corresponds to a currently installed modular device in an adjustable bed facility, wherein the one or more controls include a graphical representation of a user control that receives user input to control a parameter of an adjustable bed facility;
- a transmitter, electronically coupled to a processor that receives the user input from the touch screen user interface, adapted to transmit control signals from the adjustable bed handheld remote control to the adjustable bed facility in accordance with the user input received from the touch screen user interface;
- and
- a receiver, electronically coupled to the processor, adapted to receive data from the adjustable bed facility indicative of a new setting of the adjustable bed facility;
- wherein graphical information indicative of the new setting is displayed on the touch screen user interface and the user can adjust the parameter by interacting with the graphical information displayed on the touch screen;
- wherein the adjustable bed facility is adapted to, in response to a receipt of a motion command from the remote control, adjust, with feedback, a portion of the adjustable bed facility;
- and
- wherein the feedback is based on a comparison of a sensor feedback and a predetermined position stored in memory.
