[Abstract] along with the progress of science and technology, "intelligent" has already become one of the important trends of the development of modern office furniture, office furniture of intelligent design and development mainly in view of the drawbacks of the traditional office furniture for the replacement of high technology. Intelligent office furniture to the office staff to have efficient office efficiency from the complex office affairs. Throughout China office furniture market intelligence office furniture development and design also has many deficiencies, want to change this situation, only to follow the correct design principles, we can set foot on the intelligent era express.
Intelligent office furniture design and design principles
First, the intelligent office furniture
Intelligent office furniture is the use of modern digital signal processing of various types of communication technology of different types of signal of real-time acquisition, and by the controller of the collected signal according to a predetermined program recording, logic judgment and feedback processing, and send the information processing and timely reporting to information management platform. Office space for the development and design of smart furniture mainly for the drawbacks of traditional office furniture for the replacement of high and new technology, and strive to make the office this from the cumbersome and messy operation of the liberation of. [1] at present "intelligent" has become one of the development trends of China's furniture industry.
Two, the development of intelligent office furniture
In recent years, with apple, Google as the representative of the technology giant, Haier, the United States as the representative of the home appliance industry, have force to seize the smart home market, but also the concept of smart home speculation more fiery. The traditional furniture industry are thinking in the air: how to set foot on the era of leveraging intelligent express?
The development of the Internet to promote the popularity of the era of intelligent, intelligent office furniture to provide a good external force. Abroad in theory and practice have achieved the corresponding results, can be used as a theoretical basis for learning; the rapid development of science and technology to lay the technical foundation. [2] these are good external conditions for the development of intelligent office furniture.
In some user survey results show that users of intelligence of the overall development of office furniture is the desired state, and broad prospects for development and the majority of consumer groups for the development provides a powerful impetus to the market, which in a certain extent promoted the feasibility of intelligent office furniture. [3] Internet of things to make intelligent, innovative products occupy all aspects of our lives, they not only enrich the functional characteristics of the product, but also improve the people's intelligent demand. As we all know, the future of the world is intelligent, virtual, open, and intelligent office furniture to meet the needs of users at the same time, it is bound to replace the traditional office furniture to the intelligent direction. Today, most of the conventional office furniture whether in user aesthetic and office efficiency were unable to meet the needs of users, the intelligent form is used, not only for office space add emotional atmosphere, also give the office furniture more forms, the user needs and office efficiency has greatly improved.
Therefore, the use of intelligent form of office furniture is the development trend of the times and the user's practical demand, with a certain necessity.
Three, intelligent office furniture design principles
Analysis of the macro background to look at this issue will be more clear. First, we need to be aware of, at present the mass market demand for intelligent office furniture still in initial stage, especially middle-aged consumer spending power of intelligent products of willingness to take the initiative to accept the lower. At the same time, in the actual market performance, suitable for the general public intelligent office furniture also failed to form a large market, intelligent and office furniture is still in the stage of relative separation, in this stage, the enterprise most is the combination of smart plug ins and traditional office furniture products, such as the combination of IKEA's wireless charging technology and furniture products. Secondly, intelligent office furniture in the cost control has not yet formed a mature mechanism, it is difficult to attract ordinary users to buy.
So, intelligent office furniture industry how to better apply to ordinary users to go? First of all, the traditional office furniture industry must be clear: intelligence can only be a means, not a goal. Therefore, in the early stage of product development, we need to combine consumer research, to seize the core elements of consumer products, embedded intelligent technology to solve the fundamental needs of consumers. At the same time, the popularity of smart furniture will be a long-term process, at this stage, the enterprise needs to do a good job of the development of core products, the cost of strict control, waiting for the market maturity. [4]
Intelligent office furniture should be considered in the design process of its functional elements, structural factors, personnel factors, modeling elements and environmental factors, etc.. Intelligent use of modern office furniture design principle of it is to follow the principles of design of modern office furniture, mainly from the aspect of artistic, practical, economic and technological consideration [5], but due to its function, structure, materials, the use of accessories and ordinary office furniture have some differences, and it has its unique features, we in the design of intelligent office furniture must follow the following principle of design.
1 ease of use. The basic purpose of intelligent office furniture design is to serve the people, to facilitate people's lives. Therefore, the design should fully consider the use of the object and the use of occasions, so that the furniture has the characteristics of ease of use. In a smart furniture market research found that a considerable part of people think that high-tech products are too complex and difficult to operate with poor performance. In order to fully reflect the people-oriented, consumer centric design ideas, design should be fully considered so that users can easily and clearly know what he can do at any time. In short, is to make the design of the product easy to understand, easy to use". Therefore, in order to eliminate people's prejudice, the design should fully consider these factors, and finally designed to facilitate the operation of the product.
Such as intelligent file cabinets, the use of bar code information into the system, greatly improve the management efficiency. To query the file location, only need to check the file keyword input query bar in the software system, "search results is displayed relevant documents with information and the file's location, then click" open "button (cabinet open through the panel of the cabinet body touch button to complete the operation), where the file cabinet can automatically open. The whole cabinet with artificial intelligence control cabinet closed operation, time-saving.
2 safety and energy saving. The security here refers to many aspects of the. In the design of office furniture, not only to take into account the hardware of the furniture itself on the human body may cause security risks, but also to pay attention to the issue of resource loss and other information security. Because of intelligent furniture in addition to the design of furniture in the design of materials, it has a large number of circuit components, easy to exist security risks. So in the design, we must first consider the protection of personal safety. Since the intelligent office is basically a paperless office, all of the resources and materials are stored in the form of a database, and if the software is not safe enough to easily lead to loss of information.
Because intelligence must be in power to operate, it is bound to cause more energy consumption, we in the design manufacturing intelligent office furniture, in addition to ensure the information security and personal safety, but also under the premise of the intelligent to ensure energy-saving energy-saving intelligent office furniture.
3 novelty and advanced nature. Intelligent office furniture of novelty is mainly reflected in the designer does not rigidly adhere to the achievements of predecessors or others, according to the untried ideas for new exploration, design a spectacular new office furniture products. Its advanced nature reflected in the product design should not only do sth unconventional or unorthodox and technical level used automatic control, computer, microelectronics and sensor detection technology, show new features and substantial improvements in terms of function, structure and the performance.
4 humanization. Future office furniture emphasizes health, pay more attention to the human body engineering principle and the use of new materials. At present in the domestic smart office furniture in the lift and wireless charging to be used in large scale. In fact, this has not yet reached the human nature of the intelligent model. E era of science and technology intelligent office furniture design will follow the trend of social development, in the design should also be combined with the humanities, science, art and life to consider.
5 fashion. In the future, "the furniture industry will be another fashion", therefore, intelligent office furniture will also take the fashion line: humanization color, material health diversity, a variety of fashion elements in intelligent office furniture will also be reflected. Fashion office furniture in the material and color have common characteristics, such as metal, glass, and new materials such as a wide range of materials in the forefront of office furniture is widely used; color, fashion office furniture also will appear in a colorful colors, red, orange, grass green, bright yellow, blue, bright purple and bright colors to the forefront of office furniture become eye-catching popular protagonist. Of course, this style of office furniture is not only reflect the ornamental value of furniture, and more emphasis on fashion furniture should have a strong practical.
6 integration. In intelligent furniture piece of children in our country currently involving the most is the office space integration and smart home integration, for office furniture integration may rarely mentioned, such as intelligent desk is a set of office environment control, multimedia control, monitoring system and security guards and other functions in one. Only do these integration, intelligent office furniture in our country can be a good way to enter the market to serve the public.
In a word, only at design time grasp the correct design principle, so as to make the traditional office furniture enterprises leveraging intelligent express train of the foot of the times. Such intelligence and office furniture will no longer be a relative separation of the state, and suitable for the general public's smart office furniture market will gradually mature, for businesses and users to create more convenience.
