Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The invention relates to a method for setting at least one furniture drive comprising at least one storage unit by means of at least one electronic device, in particular a mobile terminal device, a smartphone or a computer. The invention also relates to a method for setting a furniture assembly comprising at least one furniture component movably supported on a furniture body and at least one furniture drive having at least one storage unit, the at least one furniture component being settable in at least two operating positions relative to the furniture body by means of the at least one furniture drive, by means of at least one electronic device, in particular a mobile terminal device, a smartphone or a computer. Furthermore, the invention relates to a computer program product for carrying out such a method. Furthermore, the invention relates to a furniture assembly comprising at least one furniture drive having at least one storage unit and at least one furniture component movably supported on a furniture body, the at least one furniture component being settable in at least two operating positions relative to the furniture body by means of the at least one furniture drive; and at least one electronic device, in particular a mobile terminal device, a smartphone or a computer, in particular spatially separate from the at least one furniture drive, it being preferred that the at least one furniture drive and the at least one electronic device each comprise at least one data transmission device. The invention also relates to a furniture drive for such a furniture assembly, comprising at least one fixing device for fixing the furniture drive on a furniture body, at least one execution device, at least one drive unit, in particular at least one computing unit and / or at least one data transmission device and at least one storage unit, by means of which at least one movable furniture component can be moved relative to the furniture body, by means of which the at least one execution device can be driven, in particular electrically driven. BACKGROUND

[0002] From the prior art, for example from WO 2019 / 145440 A1, electronic devices connected to furniture drives are known, which are set up for controlling the furniture drives. The furniture drives can be operated, for example by means of a smartphone, in such a way that the furniture is moved by the controlled furniture drives into different operating positions. The control commands generated by the electronic device are transmitted to an analysis unit and implemented as movements of the execution device.

[0003] The disadvantage of the prior art is that, in the installation step, all data important for the smooth operation of the furniture drive (for example via an HMI arranged on the furniture drive) must already be stored in the furniture drive, whereby the flexibility of the system is limited to the stored movement data and no convenient storage is provided. Furthermore, control commands that cause a collision of furniture components can only be prevented by a further control command in the sense of an emergency stop control command, which requires increased attention from the user when operating the furniture drive and reduces the user-friendliness of the system. Furthermore, no possibility is provided for the user of the furniture to adapt the control commands, for example in the case of a mispronunciation and / or lack of language knowledge by the user of the furniture, which significantly increases the difficulty of using the system. SUMMARY

[0004] It is therefore an object of the present application to propose a method for setting at least one furniture drive and a method for setting a furniture assembly which is improved with respect to the prior art, in which the disadvantages of the prior art are at least partially eliminated and which is distinguished, inter alia, by the possibility of storing data important for the operation of the furniture from a remote location in a user-friendly and / or flexible manner. Furthermore, the present application also provides an improved computer program product, an improved furniture assembly and an improved furniture drive.

[0005] The object is solved by a method for setting at least one furniture drive via at least one electronic device.

[0006] According to the present application, therefore, the following method steps, which are preferably carried out in chronological order, are provided:

[0007] - storing, in the installer area of the at least one electronic device, at least one digital data set relating to at least one static parameter and / or at least one dynamic parameter in the at least one storage unit, in particular in the form of a wireless radio signal transmission by the at least one electronic device,

[0008] - storing, in the end user area of the at least one electronic device, at least one digital data set relating to the at least one dynamic parameter in the at least one storage unit, in particular in the form of a wireless radio signal transmission by the at least one electronic device.

[0009] It is thereby made possible for the digital data sets to be flexibly adapted to the conditions and / or requirements of the furniture assembly and to be user-friendly adapted at any time, in particular for the installer and / or the user to only see the configuration possibilities of the furniture drive that are relevant to him or that are to be released for safety reasons.

[0010] A further advantageous feature is that the installation personnel and / or the user do not need to be in the immediate vicinity of the furniture drive for the purpose of setting, provisioning and / or configuring when storing the radio signal transmission, and the setting, provisioning and / or configuring can also be carried out conveniently, for example, from a remote location. However, the storage can also be carried out by wired means.

[0011] In general, the at least one electronic device can also be used as a command transmitter for the furniture drive to cause the movable furniture part to move, for example, by means of voice control and / or a haptically operable application (App) on the at least one electronic device. For example, a limited command possibility can be provided for a specific user in the end user area, so that only those commands of an authorized user can be generated. Thus, for example, it is possible to prevent children from activating such a furniture drive, which controls a movable furniture part that conceals dangerous objects.

[0012] Furthermore, the sensitive data of the user can remain hidden in the installation personnel area, and a wider configuration possibility can be achieved by an expanded range of static parameters to be stored. If the dynamic parameters are known, these can already be stored by means of the at least one digital data set in the installation of the furniture drive. However, the user can also modify the dynamic parameters at a later point in time.

[0013] The static parameters enable the furniture drive, for example, to ensure the correct operation of the kitchen by comparison with the digital commands of the command transmitter, and the movable furniture part does not collide and / or is moved in synchronism with other furniture drives. For example, the static parameters can represent the state of the furniture drive, which defines the open or closed furniture part and / or the locked or unlocked furniture drive.

[0014] The dynamic parameters enable the user, for example, to store the name of the filling in the furniture drive, which is connected to the movable furniture part covering the storage space, and / or to define when the furniture drive should open the movable furniture part or when the movable furniture part should not be opened by the furniture drive. In general, different authorizations for specific users can be stored in the furniture drive by means of the dynamic parameters.

[0015] As mentioned in the introduction, a method for setting up a furniture assembly is also claimed, in which the following method steps, which are preferably carried out in chronological order, are performed:

[0016] - storing, in the installation personnel area of the at least one electronic device, at least one digital data set relating to at least one static parameter and / or at least one dynamic parameter in the at least one storage unit by means of the at least one electronic device, in particular in the form of a radio signal transmission,

[0017] - at least one digital data set regarding at least one dynamic parameter is stored in the at least one memory unit by the at least one electronic device, in particular in the form of a radio signal transmission, in the end user area of the at least one electronic device.

[0018] As mentioned in the introduction, a computer program product is also claimed, comprising instructions which, when executed by a computing unit, cause the computing unit to execute the method according to the present application from a memory unit, which is in or can be brought into data connection with the computing unit.

[0019] The computer program product can for example be stored in the at least one memory unit and executed by the at least one computing unit.

[0020] As mentioned in the introduction, a furniture assembly is also claimed, wherein the at least one memory unit is configured for

[0021] - at least one digital data set regarding at least one static parameter and / or at least one dynamic parameter is storable in the at least one memory unit by the at least one electronic device, in particular in the form of a radio signal transmission, in the installer area of the at least one electronic device,

[0022] - at least one digital data set regarding at least one dynamic parameter is storable in the at least one memory unit by the at least one electronic device, in particular in the form of a radio signal transmission, in the end user area of the at least one electronic device.

[0023] As mentioned in the introduction, a furniture drive is also claimed, wherein the at least one memory unit is configured such that at least one digital data set regarding at least one static parameter and / or dynamic parameter is storable in the at least one memory unit by the at least one electronic device, in particular a mobile end device, a smartphone or a computer, in particular in the form of a radio signal transmission.

[0024] According to an advantageous embodiment of the present application, the at least one electronic device and the at least one furniture drive are configured spatially separate from one another.

[0025] The convenience in storing the digital data sets is thereby significantly increased. The installer and / or the user can configure a plurality of furniture drives from a distance, which increases the user-friendliness, in particular when reference runs can be required for large furniture and / or heavy movable furniture parts, and can save additional personnel in the configuration of the furniture drives.

[0026] Furthermore, static parameters, such as collision parameters and / or synchronization parameters, which are related to other furniture components, can be transferred to the at least one storage unit without changing the configuration location for storing the at least one digital data set.

[0027] It is advantageous to provide that the installer area and the end user area are separated from each other on the at least one electronic device, preferably by separate logins and / or separate applications, and preferably to provide that the data communication between the at least one electronic device and the at least one furniture drive is implemented encrypted and / or during a defined time window in the installer area and / or in the end user area.

[0028] Thereby, it can be prevented that a user enters the installer area or an installer enters the end user area and changes static and / or dynamic parameters of the furniture drive which are not assigned to his task area.

[0029] It is particularly preferred that the data communication is also implemented encrypted and / or during a defined time window in the case that the installer area is located on a first electronic device and the end user area is located on a second electronic device.

[0030] An advantageous variant is that the at least one digital data set of the installer area and / or of the end user area is stored in the at least one storage unit by at least one data transfer device which is spatially separated from the at least one electronic device, and preferably it is provided that the at least one electronic device communicates with the at least one data transfer device via Wifi and / or WAN and / or that the at least one data transfer device communicates with the at least one furniture drive via an ESB.

[0031] If the electronic device does not have a wireless protocol with which it can communicate with the furniture drive, the at least one data transfer device can forward digital commands by a wireless protocol with which the at least one furniture drive can receive digital data, the data transfer device generates a conversion between the two wireless protocols in order to store the at least one digital data set in the at least one storage unit and / or to transfer commands for controlling the furniture drive. In particular, the data communication can take place according to a transmission protocol according to the IEEE 802.11 standard and / or the Bluetooth standard. In general, the conversion can also take place in the cloud.

[0032] In general, the furniture drive can communicate with at least one further furniture drive and compare the at least one digital data set with at least one digital data set of the at least one further furniture drive and / or share the at least one digital data set with the at least one further furniture drive, the data communication particularly preferably taking place via an ESB.

[0033] The term ESB as wireless protocol can be understood as an enhanced Shockburst™, which has proven to be particularly advantageous for controlling furniture drives compared to BLE, since it has a shorter latency time.

[0034] In general, "data communication" can be understood as a data transmission by means of sending and receiving, preferably at least sometimes only sending or receiving. But also one-way data communication is conceivable, for example, with omission of feedback by digital information. Data communication via radio signal protocols is particularly preferred, but data communication can also be carried out by wired means in general. The receiving unit and the sending unit can be integrated on one chip or spatially separated from each other, for example.

[0035] It has proven advantageous if the data communication between the at least one electronic device and the at least one furniture drive is bidirectional, preferably it is provided that the at least one electronic device determines information, preferably at least one digital data set, of at least one further furniture drive and / or of a network in which the at least one furniture drive is mapped, by a connection to at least one, preferably exactly one, furniture drive and / or to at least one, preferably exactly one, data transfer device that can be present.

[0036] Thereby, a status change and / or a successful storage of, for example, the at least one digital data set can be confirmed and / or displayed to the at least one electronic device. In general, by connecting to only one furniture drive, the electronic device has access to information of other entities of the network in which the furniture drive is located.

[0037] According to an advantageous embodiment of the application, it is provided that the installer area is installed on the at least one electronic device and the end user area is installed on at least one further electronic device that is spatially separated from the at least one electronic device, or the installer area and the end user area are installed on the same electronic device.

[0038] The installer area and the end user area are usually separated from each other, so that a user can install an application on his smartphone, for example, which only allows access to the end user area and not to the installer area.

[0039] It has proven advantageous if the at least one electronic device communicates with the at least one furniture drive via BLE.

[0040] It is particularly preferred that the at least one electronic device with at least one data transfer device communicates directly with the data transfer device of the furniture drive. BLE has proven to be particularly advantageous as a transmission protocol or wireless protocol for data communication.

[0041] The professional term BLE as wireless protocol is to be understood as Bluetooth Low Energy, which is integrated in commercially common electronic devices, such as smartphones or computers.

[0042] It is particularly preferred that the installer area and / or the end user area can be operated according to a spoken command given by the user, preferably with user identification, and / or in a haptic manner.

[0043] An advantageous variant is that the at least one haptic command and / or the at least one spoken voice command is converted by the at least one command transmitter and / or in at least one cloud into at least one digital command for controlling the furniture drive and / or into the at least one digital data set for storage. Thereby a homogenization of the commands generated by the user can be achieved, which can be transmitted with low latency time to the data transmission device by a suitable wireless protocol.

[0044] A particularly convenient control and / or configuration of the at least one furniture drive by the at least one electronic device is achieved by the voice command, because the user can open or close a specific movable furniture part, for example, by a suitable word or word sequence and / or can assign a separate identification to a storage space with a specific filling. By user identification, for example, a digital command of a specific person cannot activate the furniture drive to move a movable furniture part and / or cannot store a digital data set in the at least one storage unit. Furthermore, the voice command is individually adaptable by the user, for example, the term "salt" can cause the opening of a movable furniture part with a salt bottle in its storage space, thereby increasing the user friendliness of the network. The term "open" can mean, for example, a static state parameter during the installation of the furniture drive, which changes into a changed state parameter when the operating position of the movable furniture part changes. The digital command can comprise an operating command and / or a control command. Data important for the furniture control can be stored in the at least one storage unit as static and dynamic parameters.

[0045] The number of entities located in the network is generally arbitrary. The user can access the desired filling with the aid of a simple spoken command without knowing the exact location of the filling, here the movable furniture part is at least partially opened by the at least one furniture drive in order to be able to remove the desired filling. The static and / or dynamic parameters required for this can be completely contained in the at least one digital data set. The filling of a separate storage space can be accessed by a different spoken command, for example "sugar".

[0046] It is provided in one embodiment of the application that the at least one static parameter is present in the form of a reference parameter, a synchronization parameter, a coupling parameter, a state parameter and / or a collision parameter, it being provided preferably that the state parameter changes depending on at least one operating position.

[0047] A "reference parameter" can be understood, for example, as a defined end position of the at least one actuating device, which defines the operating position of the at least one furniture drive. A "synchronization parameter" can be understood, for example, as a time-defined sequence of the activation of at least one drive unit in order to coordinate a plurality of furniture drives for moving the at least one furniture part. A "coupling parameter" can be understood, for example, as an association of a furniture drive with a command transmitter, a household appliance, a radio switch element, other furniture drives and / or the like in order to define a connection between two entities of a network. A "state parameter" can be understood, for example, as a locking of the at least one actuating device and / or a position, which indicates an open or closed movable furniture part, which changes upon a change of the operating position of the at least one movable furniture part. The static parameters are not limited to the parameters mentioned and can comprise, for example, other installation settings which are important for the furniture assembly.

[0048] In general, the furniture drive can be coupled with a furniture lock, which enables a locking of the furniture drive and / or the furniture drive itself has a locking device, which is transferred into a locked state or an unlocked state by an installation personnel area and / or an end user area, in particular at a certain time.

[0049] It is provided according to one preferred embodiment of the application that the at least one dynamic parameter is present in the form of a time parameter, a locking parameter and / or a storage space parameter.

[0050] A furniture drive can be provided, for example, on a furniture in which a microwave and / or a coffee machine are placed, during the operation of which household appliances the closing of the movable furniture part should be prevented. This can be realized via an installation personnel area and / or an end user area by storing a locking parameter. The locking parameter can be associated with the operation of the household appliance, defined depending on a time interval in which the furniture drive should be locked and / or set individually by the user.

[0051] A time parameter can comprise, for example, at which point in time the furniture drive should move the movable furniture part into an open operating position and / or at which point in time a digital command for opening the movable furniture part by the furniture drive should not be implemented. A storage space and / or a filling located therein can be defined individually by a storage space parameter, for example, in order to make the user accessible to the storage space and / or the filling located therein by a spoken command to a voice recognition system. The dynamic parameters can be changed at any time by accessing the end user area. The dynamic parameters can comprise, in general, other user settings which are important for the kitchen operation.

[0052] The at least one electronic device can be present, for example, in the form of a tablet with a voice recognition system, spatially separate voice recognition systems can also be integrated into the network.

[0053] It has proven advantageous if, in the installer area

[0054] - the at least one furniture drive is coupled with at least one further furniture drive and / or synchronized by a reference run to be carried out by the user,

[0055] - the at least one furniture drive is initialized by a reference run to be carried out by the user,

[0056] - the at least one furniture drive is coupled with at least one command transmitter, preferably initialized by a reference run to be carried out by the user,

[0057] - a collision avoidance is stored in the at least one storage unit by a reference run to be carried out by the user, and / or

[0058] - the at least one furniture drive, at least one command transmitter and / or at least one data transfer device are added to the network.

[0059] By means of the reference run, the furniture drive can learn in a particularly advantageous manner the given conditions on site, such as the required operating position of a movable furniture part, which is moved into this operating position by the furniture drive, the digital data set can contain information about other furniture drives, such as an impending collision or the required synchronization for a correct movement of the movable furniture part. The digital data set can be stored in the storage unit during and / or before or after the reference run.

[0060] If the at least one command transmitter, the other furniture drives and / or the data transfer device are known to the electronic device and / or the furniture drive, the flexibility of the network is increased and the susceptibility to errors is reduced. Furthermore, the log information can be read and / or analyzed in a particularly advantageous manner by means of the at least one electronic device, since the digital data of the other entities of the network can be accessed by means of the connection to the entity.

[0061] By means of the log information, the user / installer has access to information about the product usage, which can be evaluated anonymously, among other things, and / or transmitted to, for example, technical support together with data about the frequency and duration of use of a specific furniture drive, language, temperature, air humidity, sensor data, kitchen size, etc.

[0062] It is furthermore preferred to provide that, in the installer area

[0063] - assigning and / or assigning at least one network address, at least one link key and / or at least one designation,

[0064] - reading at least one current status, at least one log information and / or at least one operating information of the at least one furniture drive and / or of at least one possibly present command transmitter and / or of a possibly present data transfer device,

[0065] - preferably displaying at least one error message relating to the at least one furniture drive and / or to a possibly present data transfer device and / or to a possibly present command transmitter,

[0066] - adding at least one furniture drive, at least one data transfer device and / or at least one command transmitter to form a network,

[0067] - resetting, unlocking or locking and / or activating or deactivating at least one furniture drive, at least one possibly present data transfer device and / or at least one possibly present command transmitter,

[0068] - updating at least one electronic device, at least one furniture drive, a possibly present command transmitter and / or a possibly present data transfer device with at least one upgrade, preferably a firmware upgrade, and / or

[0069] - displaying at least one operating instruction and / or an auxiliary dialog box for the configuration.

[0070] The timeliness of the network and the efficiency of the network are thereby improved. Furthermore, the installation of the furniture drive, in particular in a furniture assembly, is simplified, for example by means of the at least one operating instruction and / or the at least one auxiliary dialog box.

[0071] It is particularly preferred to provide that in the end user area

[0072] - reading at least one current status of the at least one furniture drive,

[0073] - activating or deactivating and / or unlocking or locking at least one furniture drive, at least one possibly present data transfer device and / or at least one possibly present command transmitter,

[0074] - enabling at least one support access, in particular real-time support access,

[0075] - updating at least one electronic device, at least one furniture drive, a possibly present command transmitter and / or a possibly present data transfer device with at least one upgrade, preferably a firmware upgrade, and / or

[0076] - displaying at least one operating instruction and / or an auxiliary dialog for the configuration.

[0077] Thereby, the current situation of the furniture drive, in particular in relation to the furniture assembly, can be quickly and remotely viewed, the furniture drive can be conveniently operated or configured and the current software can be updated, and in the event of problems in operating the electronic device and / or the furniture drive, support for the operation is ensured.

[0078] As an alternative, the at least one furniture drive comprises at least one fixing device for fixing the furniture drive on a furniture body, at least one execution device by means of which the at least one movable furniture part can be moved relative to the furniture body, and at least one drive unit by means of which the at least one execution device can be driven, in particular electrically driven, it being preferred that the at least one furniture drive comprises at least one computing unit.

[0079] By means of the at least one fixing device, a positionally fixed positioning is achieved, in particular in a piece of furniture, by means of the at least one drive unit, a force for moving the at least one movable furniture part is provided, which force is transmitted to the at least one movable furniture part by means of the at least one execution device in order to move the at least one movable furniture part.

[0080] In another preferred embodiment, it is provided that the at least one furniture drive comprises at least one data transmission device by means of which at least one static parameter of at least one further furniture drive, at least one dynamic parameter of at least one further furniture drive and / or at least one information about a network in which the at least one furniture drive is located, preferably at least one digital data set, are determined and / or stored in the at least one storage unit, preferably by means of a data transmission device of at least one further furniture drive.

[0081] The at least one data transmission device can generally comprise a transmitting device and / or a receiving device, which are arranged on one chip or spatially separated from one another on the furniture drive.

[0082] According to an advantageous embodiment of the application, it is provided that the entire furniture assembly can be configured in the installer area and / or in the end user area.

[0083] In the prior art, no possibility is provided to configure a plurality of furniture, furniture drives and / or movable furniture parts by one instance, which is mapped as an entity in a network, and / or to store digital data sets into the respective furniture drives connected to the respective furniture. Here, a solution with an installer area and / or an end user area provides more flexibility, by which the at least one memory unit of the respective furniture can be specifically filled with digital data sets.

[0084] For example, an installer who installs a kitchen with a plurality of furniture drives having different furniture can configure the plurality of furniture drives by storing digital data sets via the electronic device in a wireless radio signal transmission, and the installer does not need to change his position.

[0085] Similarly, a user can configure the entire kitchen by the furniture drives located therein and adapt it to the desired properties.

[0086] According to an advantageous embodiment of the application, the installer area generated by the computer program product can be displayed on at least one electronic device and the end user area generated by the computer program product can be displayed on at least one electronic device which is spatially separated from the at least one electronic device, or the installer area and the end user area generated by the computer program product can be displayed on the same electronic device.

[0087] It is advantageous to provide that the furniture assembly comprises at least one data transfer means and / or at least one command transmitter for transferring at least one digital data set and / or at least one digital command.

[0088] Thereby, the furniture drive of the furniture assembly can move the at least one movable furniture part taking into account the digital command, where a choice can be made about feasibility or non-feasibility, for example, by comparing the at least one digital command with the at least one digital data set, whereby collisions and / or a synchronous movement with other furniture drives can be prevented.

[0089] It has proven advantageous that the at least one command transmitter is configured in the form of the at least one electronic device, a radio switch element, a data transfer means, a furniture lock, a domestic appliance and / or one further furniture drive.

[0090] By means of the at least one digital data set and the at least one digital command of the storage unit, a correct movement of the at least one movable furniture part can be achieved without a risk of collision, an undesired opening or closing of the at least one movable furniture part can be prevented and / or a parallel or sequential movement of the movable furniture part together with at least one further furniture drive can be achieved.

[0091] According to an advantageous embodiment of the application, the at least one data transmission device comprises at least one ELB module for data communication with the at least one electronic device via an ELB and / or at least one ESB module for data communication with at least one command transmitter, at least one data transfer device and / or at least one further furniture drive via an ESB.

[0092] It has proven to be advantageous if at least one digital command of the at least one command transmitter and / or of the at least one data transfer device can be transmitted to the at least one data transmission device of the at least one furniture drive, preferably in the form of a radio signal transmission, the at least one computing unit being configured to compare the at least one digital command with at least one digital data set stored in the at least one storage unit and to make a selection as to the execution of the at least one digital command depending on the result of the comparison.

[0093] Thereby, the at least one furniture drive is provided with an independent, separate intelligence from the command transmitter, by means of which the at least one furniture drive can check the feasibility of the at least one digital command of the at least one command transmitter. If the at least one digital command cannot be executed without a risk of damaging the at least one movable furniture part, for example based on an imminent collision, the at least one furniture drive can prevent the execution of the at least one digital command, and in the case of a plurality of furniture drives, only one furniture drive has to be in data communication, both for a synchronous movement and / or for avoiding a collision.

[0094] For example it can be provided that for furniture in the form of a tray or a floor cabinet at least one furniture drive of an internal pull-out (Innenauszug) is triggered by a voice command of a voice recognition system of the at least one electronic device, before at least one further furniture drive of a front pull-out (Frontauszug) is activated in parallel or sequentially synchronously in order to move both movable furniture parts by one digital command of the command transmitter. If an impending collision is to occur, the movement is inhibited, before the movement takes place in the case of a correct synchronization and without a potential collision, important information in the form of static and / or dynamic parameters of the at least one digital data set is stored in the at least one storage unit. The executability of the operating position of the movable furniture parts and the changed state are transmitted to the command transmitter, in particular to the at least one electronic device, in the form of digital information. The user is informed about the change of the furniture by an application and can change the at least one digital data set via the end user area if necessary.

[0095] The synchronized furniture drives can control the movement process of the at least one movable furniture part on the basis of a time offset and / or on the basis of the spatial position of the at least one movable furniture part relative to the furniture body or other movable furniture parts, such as a minimum opening angle, with which a collision danger can be checked at any time by the at least one furniture drive.

The electronic device 2 is present in the form of a smartphone, the further electronic device 13 in the form of a mobile terminal device is configured as a voice recognition system. In general, the voice recognition system can also be integrated in the smartphone. In general, an electronic device 2 in the form of a computer, a tablet, a mobile terminal device or similar is also possible.

[0106] The electronic device 2 and the furniture drives 1 are configured spatially separate from one another.

[0107] The command transmitter 14 is present in the form of the electronic device 2, the radio switch element 22 in signal transmission connection with the furniture drives 1, respectively, the data transfer means 10, the furniture lock 23, the three household appliances 24 as microwave, coffee machine and floor cleaning robot and the further furniture drive 11.

[0108] But the furniture drive 1 itself can also generally be used as a command transmitter 14 in order to transmit digital commands to another furniture drive 11 in accordance with the digital commands of the command transmitter 14 in order to generate, for example, a synchronous movement of the movable furniture part 9. The collision parameters with which the movable furniture part 9 is about to collide are stored in the form of static parameters in the digital data set 5, which is present in the storage unit 3.

[0109] If the furniture drive 1 moves the movable furniture part 9 into a new operating position, the static parameters in the form of status parameters are updated. The dynamic parameters such as the storage space name and / or the filler name are stored in the storage unit 3 of the furniture drive 1 at any time in the form of the digital data set 5 by the further electronic device 13 in the form of a voice recognition system, which is converted from the spoken commands in the cloud, and / or by the end user area.

[0110] The furniture drive 1 of the furniture assembly 7 comprises a fixing device 15 for fixing the furniture drive 1 on the furniture body 8, an execution device 16 by means of which the movable furniture part 9 can be moved relative to the furniture body 8, and a drive unit 17 by means of which the execution device 16 can be electrically driven, respectively.

[0111] For the sake of clarity, the computing unit 18, the data transmission device 19 and the storage unit 3, which are not visible in the view, are respectively comprised in the furniture drive 1 and in the further furniture drive 11. The storage unit 3 is constructed in such a way that the digital data set 5 regarding the static parameters and the dynamic parameters can be stored in the storage unit 3 by the electronic device 2 in the form of a radio signal transmission.

[0112] The entire furniture assembly 7 can be configured in the installer area 4 and in the end user area 6, and parts of the network 12 can also generally be configured by the electronic device 2 by storing the digital data set 5.

[0113] For example, the installer can start an application installed on the electronic device 2 during the installation of the furniture assembly 7, connect the electronic device 2 with the data transfer device 10 in the installer area and connect the electronic device 2 with the furniture drive 1, by the connection with which the data model of the furniture assembly 7 can be transmitted onto the data transfer device 10 and / or the electronic device 2 can obtain information about the entities in the network 12, such as the other furniture drives 11. The further electronic device 13 in the form of a voice recognition system can be connected with the network 12 by the electronic device 13, where the furniture drive 1 can be operated by the spoken commands of the electronic device 2 and / or by the tactile commands on the electronic device 2 by the voice recognition system to move the movable furniture part 9. The static parameters can be stored in the furniture drive 1 at any time.

[0114] For example, the user can start an application installed on the electronic device 2 after the installation of the furniture assembly 7 is completed, create the furniture assembly 7 digitally in the end user area, connect the electronic device 2 with the furniture driver 1 and configure all entities in the network 12 or a partial area of the network 12, like other furniture drivers 11, by storing dynamic parameters. The connection with one furniture driver 1 is sufficient to obtain all information of the network 12, like the stored data sets 5.

[0115] If any kind of problem occurs during the use of the furniture driver 1, the problem can be solved by a support access and / or a step-by-step guidance, by a guided process a professional can be saved and a feedback for a specific fault, for example in case of a defective installation or a defective assembly, can be generated and displayed.

[0116] By a system upgrade via the electronic device 2, the efficiency of the furniture assembly 7 can be improved and its functionality can be extended. Fault diagnoses can be forwarded anonymously to a technical support for analysis and / or evaluation, the technical support can support the use of the furniture assembly 7 by an auxiliary dialog.

[0117] For example, an error message can comprise information about a defective network structure, an incorrect adjustment of the drive unit, a defective installation depth, a permanent pressing of a movable furniture part on a radio switch and / or a defective firmware, which can be displayed on the electronic device 2 to the user and / or the installer and / or forwarded thereon.

[0118] By the electronic device 2, the furniture driver 1 can be assigned to other furniture drivers 11, for example, to avoid collisions and / or can be coupled with them in order to be synchronized. Subsequently, a data model of the furniture assembly 7, for example a kitchen, can be created, each furniture driver 1 knows the other furniture drivers 11 and command transmitters 14 assigned to it, which can be determined by a connection with the furniture driver 1 and / or stored in the digital data sets 5 in the form of static parameters.

[0119] Figure 2a An electronic device 2 in the form of a smartphone with a data transmission device 19 is shown, which is used to configure the furniture driver 1 and serves as a command transmitter 14 of the furniture driver 1.

[0120] The furniture driver 1 is in a data connection of radio signal transmission with another furniture driver 11, the electronic device 2 communicates with the furniture driver 1 via BLE and the furniture driver 1 communicates with the other furniture driver 11 via ESB.

[0121] Figure 2b With Figure 2aThe difference lies in that, instead of electronic device 2, furniture lock 23 is located in network 12 as command transmitter 14. Furniture lock 23 can transmit digital commands to furniture actuator 1, which are then forwarded via data transmission device 19 to the data transmission device 19 of the other furniture actuator 11, so as to generate, for example, synchronized movement of movable furniture parts 9.

[0122] The furniture lock 23 can send a locking command to the furniture drive 1 or prevent the movement of movable furniture parts 9 by itself being locked.

[0123] Figure 2c and Figure 2b The difference is that the command transmitter 14 is constructed as a radio switching element 22. Typically, the command transmitter 14 can also be in the form of a household appliance 24, such as a microwave oven that prevents movable furniture parts 9 from being turned off by furniture actuator 1, and / or a robot vacuum cleaner that requires movable furniture parts 9 to be turned on by furniture actuator 1 so that they can be parked in furniture 25.
