Description

  Embodiments of the present invention relate to floor coverings.

  There are many electronic devices inside the office, and these wirings are usually performed in the lower part of the OA floor. That is, the OA floor includes a top plate part on which a person or an object rides, and a column indicating the top plate part, and the wiring of the electronic device is performed under the top plate part.

  However, this OA floor has a drawback that the installation cost is high. Also, if it is known that a person is seated, the air conditioning and lighting in the room can be adjusted, which can contribute to power saving, but the presence of a person cannot be detected on the conventional OA floor.

  In order to reduce the installation cost, there is a method of laying and wiring a mall for housing cables on the floor.

  However, this method has a disadvantage that it is not aesthetically pleasing and is easy to trip when walking.

  In this regard, a carpet having a cutout portion that accommodates cables therein has been proposed.

  However, this carpet requires skill to accommodate cables well, and it takes man-hours. Also, the presence of a person cannot be detected by this carpet.
