摘要：
There is provided an ergonomic chair (100) which is produced from flat components. The components may be made of paper. The components are designed using parametric equations which take the targeted user's proportions into account. The components are then folded, joined, and coated with strengthening material. The chair (100) has a seat (103), a base (101), and three legs (102) connecting the seat (103) to the base (101). The base (101) contains a counterweight mass (134) for keeping the chair (100) in a default upright position. The base (101) contains an accelerometer (139) which can transmit data to a computing device (612) to track a user's posture and other health-related data.
技术问题语段：
The technical problem addressed in this patent is the need for a chair that promotes an active and healthy posture for the user while also being adjustable and comfortable. Existing chairs have limitations such as being unstable, having limited adjustability, or requiring frequent maintenance. The invention aims to provide a chair that overcomes these limitations and allows for self-monitoring and feedback through technology.
技术功效语段：
This patent describes a chair made of folded paper substrate material, which includes a base, seat, and seat-supporting structure. The chair also has an accelerometer for providing position data, which can be transmitted wirelessly to a computing device. The invention provides a computer-readable medium with instructions for a computing device to receive and process accelerometer data from the chair, and display information related to the user's seating position. The method for making the chair involves folding a flat paper substrate material and joining the components to form the chair. The invention also includes a structure made according to the method. The technical effects of this patent are a simplified chair design that is lightweight, portable, and can provide real-time information on the user's seating position.
权利要求：
1. A chair comprising: a base including a counterweight; a seat connected to the base and supported above the base by a seat-supporting structure, and wherein each of the base, the seat and the seat-supporting structure are made at least in part of folded paper substrate material.
2. A chair comprising: a base including a counterweight; a seat connected to the base and supported above the base by a seat-supporting structure, and a single accelerometer for providing position data; a wireless transceiver for communicating wirelessly with a computing device and for transmitting the position data to the computing device.
3. The chair of claim 2 further comprising a vibration motor for generating vibrations as feedback to the user.
4. A computer-readable medium comprising computer-readable instructions in code which, when stored in a memory of a computing device and executed by a processor of the computing device, cause the computing device to: receive accelerometer data from an accelerometer in a chair; process the data; display information on a display of the computing device relating to a seating position of a user.
5. The computer-readable medium of claim 4 wherein the processor is configured to cause the computing device to display a user interface presenting information regarding user position on the chair in response to user input providing a perceived position on the chair to enable a user to develop a perception of the position of the user on the chair.
6. The computer-readable medium of claim 4 wherein the processor is configured to cause the computing device to display a user interface presenting information regarding muscle activity.
7. The computer-readable medium of claim 4 wherein the processor is configured to cause the computing device to display a user interface presenting information regarding joint alignment.
8. A method of making a paper-based structure, the method comprising: providing a flat paper substrate material; folding the paper substrate material to form components of the paper-based structure; and joining the components to form the paper-based structure.
9. The method of claim 8 further comprising printing graphics on the paper substrate material.
10. The method of claim 8 further comprising folding the paper substrate material to conceal raw cut edges in the paper substrate material.
11. The method of claim 8 further comprising receiving user specific dimensions to tailor dimensions of the structure to a user.
12. The method of claim 8 further comprising applying a cellulose-based coating to the folded paper substrate material.
13. The method of claim 8 further comprising incorporating a castable material in cavities of the structure.
14. The method of claim 8 further comprising making male and female joints from the paper substrate material and incorporating the male and female joints in the structure.
15. A paper-based structure made according to the method of claim 8.
