Closed feedback loop to verify a position of an adjustable bed

摘要

This disclosure concerns a wireless communication system adapted to produce a closed-loop feedback scheme between a handheld remote control and an adjustable bed controller. The adjustable bed controller is adapted to, in response to a receipt of a motion command from the handheld remote control via the closed-loop feedback scheme, adjust, with feedback, a portion of an adjustable bed. The feedback is based on a comparison of sensor feedback and a predetermined position stored in a memory of the adjustable bed controller. The handheld remote control can receive, through the closed-loop feedback scheme, a returned confirmation reflecting the state of the position of the bed segment in response to the control signal.

主权项

1. A control system, comprising:
a wireless communication system adapted to produce a closed-loop feedback scheme between a handheld remote control and at least an adjustable bed controller, the adjustable bed controller adapted to, in response to a receipt of a motion command from the handheld remote control, adjust, with feedback, a portion of an adjustable bed; wherein the feedback is based on a comparison of sensor feedback and a predetermined position stored in a memory of the adjustable bed controller; the handheld remote control capable of transmitting a control signal for an articulating adjustment of the position of a bed segment to the adjustable bed controller using the closed-loop feedback scheme; and the handheld remote control further capable of receiving, through the closed-loop feedback scheme, a returned confirmation reflecting the state of the position of the bed segment in response to said control signal; wherein the handheld remote control comprises a touch screen display adapted to present one or more interactive bed control icons to receive user input for the articulating adjustment control signal; and wherein the handheld remote control is communication matched to the adjustable bed controller with a code key indicating that commands can be received and executed therebetween, and the handheld remote control is adapted to receive from the adjustable bed controller an indication that the code key has been received and accepted.
