Abstract:
Standing desks, such as fixed work surfaces or height-adjustable desks or computer/workstation supports, provide relief from computer or other desk work that might otherwise force a user to remain seated. However, concerns about utilization and comfort are points of resistance to standing desks. A “smart” pressure sensing mat is provided that may provide additional cushioning and comfort as well as a source of data input for record keeping, usage verification, user identification, and control signals. Signals may be utilized to report data (e.g., utilization, user operations, functions, etc.) and/or control components (e.g., trigger a standing desk to rise for standing use or lower for seated use, activate lights, etc.).

Claim (Index 1):
A system, comprising:\n a pressure sensing mat comprising a plurality of sensing portions; a processor; a component configured to communicate with the processor; and wherein the pressure sensing portions provide signals to the processor in accord with a received pressure and location of the pressure on the pressure sensing mat; wherein the processor receives the signals from the plurality of pressure sensing portions and further determines whether the mat is occupied and, following the determination that the mat is occupied, the processor further determines an indicia of use of the mat and outputs the indicia of use to the component; wherein the determination that the mat is occupied comprises the processor excluding a portion of the signals that are indicating a static pressure and utilizing the signals that are not excluded to determine whether the mat is occupied; wherein the indicia of use comprises an indication of whether the pressure sensing mat is being used by a user that is standing on the pressure sensing mat, wherein the determination of standing comprises the processor excluding the portion of the signals that are indicating a static pressure and utilizing the signals not excluded to determine whether the user is standing; and wherein the component provides a first response, when the indicia of use indicates the user is standing and a second response, when the indicia of use does not indicate standing.
