An audible signal that automatically activates to help prevent posture problems. It is a smart seating system with alerts and remote monitoring capabilities. 15 State of the Art: There are discrepancies in the prior knowledge of the art, both in the market and in patent databases. Examples exist in these technologies. These examples are listed below. Accordingly: EP 378 8914 A1: This European patent application describes a load integrated into an office chair. The user's sitting and back position is detected via distance sensors. The sensors are 20. It is located on the seat surface and backrest; pressure and distance data are electronically transmitted. The module processes the information and provides a visual alert to the user. Key features include: Ø Combination of pressure and distance sensors; Ø Ability to monitor sitting behavior in a cloud or application environment, Ø It must have a warning system. 25 Deficiencies: Ø There is no automatic correction mechanism with inflatable airbags; • Ambient climate (humidity / temperature), body temperature / pulse, and other parameters are not monitored; Ø Head / nape tilt has not been specifically addressed. CN 104 757 815 A: This Chinese patent describes a "smart 30 with sitting position correction function". The chair is described as having pressure sensors placed on its back and seat surfaces. In addition to alarm devices, it also includes a processor and timer system. Key features include... Features: Ø Monitoring of seating and back contact status via pressure sensors; Ø Warning mechanism available (e.g., rocking / warning). 35 Limitations: Ø No inflatable support module; 2 Ø Environmental conditions and physiological data (pulse, temperature) are not monitored; 5 • Upper body parameters such as head tilt have not been discussed in detail. US 2011 / 0275939 A1: As a portable system mounted on a chair or cushion. Attachable sensor pads are being identified: those that can be attached to the seat surface and backrest. Sensors monitor the user's posture, providing feedback to the user on posture correction. Notifications are being sent. Key features: 10 Ø Portable and retrofit typology; Ø It collects data on the user's posture and provides warnings; Limitations: Ø There is no physical support system such as an airbag; Ø No integrated ambient humidity / temperature or physiological sensor; 15 Ø Remote monitoring / IoT integration is limited. Market Products: Ø ProtoArc “Arc Protector Smart Chair”: Multi-zone posture sensors and application A smart chair that offers connectivity. Ø Backrobo “Air Smart Chair C2”: Adaptive lumbar support, heating / massage functions 20 and includes inactivity alerts. These types of products use sensors and applications. It has integration with, but the invention proposes, inflatable support cushions + ambient climate monitoring + head / neck tilt + automatic correction cycle, etc. It doesn't offer all the components together. Ø Academic Studies – Supporting Literature: 25 In the article titled "Smart Sensing Chairs for Sitting Posture Detection," it is stated that sitting The use of sensors placed on the surface and back support enables real-time Posture monitoring and IoT connectivity are discussed. In this study, sensor-based monitoring is common, but automatic inflation or There is no biomechanical correction system. 30 How the invention forming the basis of the application differs / deviates from existing examples: Ø Sensors and Active Correction: Sensor-based warning and independently inflatable systems are mentioned in the literature. There are separate examples of lumbar support; the invention involves head / neck tilt + back / seat pressure. By interpreting the data on sitting time and ambient humidity / temperature together, regional analysis can be performed. It automatically and instantly manages the airbags (reactive biomechanical support). 35 Ø Monitoring Physiological and Environmental Parameters Together: In existing operations Temperature / HR measurement or posture monitoring are considered individually; the invention relates to the body. 3 Monitoring temperature and pulse (depending on the application) and ambient climate (humidity / temperature) 5 It integrates with a posture correction algorithm. Ø Variety of Alerts and Remote Monitoring: Audible alert, LED / vibration, and remote control. (Application) monitoring features are partially available in the industry; the invention automates them. By combining it in the same cycle as the inflation decision, it provides the user with educational feedback + provides physical correction 10 The purpose of the invention: The aim of this invention is to analyze body posture according to sitting position and environmental conditions. using data obtained from sensors, inflatable supports can be added when needed. Activating its modules; providing multiple feedback options to the user; physiological and environmental A smart posture correction chair system that records data and makes it monitorable remotely. 15 to provide.
