Definitions

  • the present invention relates to control of height adjustable furniture and other surrounding functions.
  • a flexible office landscape is used where the workplaces are not tied to a specific employee but rather open to be used by all or several employees.
  • a modern workplace comprises a plurality of devices and functions that can be controlled, such as raising or lowering the desk, adjusting the lighting conditions, the phone properties, the computer etc.
  • different employees prefer different settings for the devices and functions. Given the combination of not having a set workplace and the plurality of devices and functions with a variety of adjustments that can be made, a lot of time is spent on adjusting different devices and functions for an employee.
  • the object of the invention is to achieve a workplace that reduce the time and effort an employee have to spend on adjusting devices and functions at said workplace to match his or her preference.
  • the invention is based on the inventors' realization that this problem can be combined with the problem that many workplaces require identification for logging into for example a computer and/or network. Further, the inventors have realized by providing workplace with a piece of furniture comprising an integrated interface for identifying a user from a mobile device, said adjustments to the devices and functions can be achieved automatically, without needing a user to manually make adjustments. Moreover, the same integrated interface can identify a user from a mobile device so that said user can gain access to a computer or a network. Thereby, two the problems can be solved with one solution.
  • a workplace comprising a piece of furniture comprising a control unit for controlling functions at said workplace, wherein said piece of furniture further comprises an integrated interface for a communicative connection to a mobile device, said integrated interface being connected to said control unit, said integrated interface further being adapted to communicate a user specific identification from said mobile device to said control unit, and said control unit is configured to control said functions at said workplace based on said user specific identification.
  • a “mobile device” should be interpreted as a mobile device including a processor unit, a storing unit and a graphical user interface adapted display. Examples of such mobile devices are a smartphone, tablet computer and a personal digital assistant (PDA).
  • a “workplace” should be interpreted as an arrangement of furniture where a user can perform a variety of office work such as reading, writing etc. Examples of furniture in such an arrangement could comprise are a table, a chair and/or a hutch.
  • the workplace according to abovementioned embodiment may enable a user to spend less time and effort to adjust functions at the workplace so that the functions correspond to the user's preference. Moreover, since many users today have a mobile device, a workplace as described above may not require the user to invest in further devices, and thereby also limit the risk of losing an identification means, such as an identification card.
  • the user specific identification may be associated with a user profile comprising predefined settings for said functions.
  • said user profile associated with said user specific identification may vary depending on point of time of the communicatively connection.
  • the said user profile associated with said user specific identification may vary depending on the type of furniture to which the mobile device is communicatively connected.
  • the functions may include adjustments of a height of said piece of furniture.
  • the piece of furniture may be a height adjustable table comprising an electric motor for driving said height adjustable furniture, and wherein said control unit further controls the operation of the electric motor.
  • the required time and effort for a user to adjust the height of the piece of furniture may be reduced to substantially no time or effort.
  • the only thing the user needs to do is to communicatively connect the mobile device to the integrated interface, and then the control unit will adjust the table height to a predefined preferred height.
  • this may simplify the process of choosing a table in a working area with several workplaces, since when the table automatically adjusts once the user communicatively connects a mobile device to the integrated interface and the user does not have to evaluate the tables based on height.
  • the functions may further comprise adjustments of lighting conditions.
  • the user may not have to manually adjust the lighting conditions when the user chooses a workplace.
  • the only thing the user may need to do is to communicatively connect the mobile device to the integrated interface, and then the lighting conditions will adjust to his predefined preferred settings.
  • the user may avoid having to turn on/off or increase/decrease the lighting on a physical lighting switch.
  • the user may avoid moving from the furniture to adjust the lighting conditions.
  • Such a workplace further may decrease the amount of time and effort needed from the user to set up his workplace.
  • the functions may further comprise providing a user access to a network.
  • the user may not have to manually provide log on information, such as user-ID and passwords, to gain access to the network.
  • log on information such as user-ID and passwords
  • the only thing the user may need to do is to communicatively connect the mobile device to the integrated interface, and then the control unit will provide the user access to the network. Thereby, time and effort needed from the user to set up his workplace may be further decreased.
  • the functions further comprise control of electrical power outlets.
  • the user may not have to spend time on manually adjusting the electrical power outlet activation/deactivation to the user's preference. Instead, the only thing the user needs to do is to communicatively connect the mobile device to the integrated interface, and then the control unit will automatically adjust the electrical power outlets to match the user's predefined preferred settings.
  • the workspace may further comprise a telephone and said telephone may, based on the identification from said mobile device, be configured to be operable with a telephone number associated with said user.
  • a user that chooses a workplace in a flexible working area may not have to adapt to the telephone number of the chosen workplace. Instead, the only thing the user needs to do is to communicatively connect the mobile device to the integrated interface, and then the control unit will automatically configure the telephone to be operable with a telephone number associated with said user.
  • the telephone number associated with said user may be the same telephone number that belongs to the mobile device.
  • the telephone number associated with said user may be a different number than the telephone number that belongs to the mobile device.
  • the communicative connection between said interface and said mobile device may be a wireless connection.
  • the user may communicatively connect the mobile device to said adjustable piece of furniture's interface without the requirement of any cables or physical connectors. Thereby, less valuable workspace may be dedicated and the risk of losing a cable is eliminated. Further, mobile device's position may be flexible within the wireless communication range, which is dependent on the type of wireless connection that is used.
  • the wireless connection may be a near field communication connection.
