Abstract
A flexible workspace system with real-time sensor feedback comprises workstations, presence sensors, workstation transmitters, a mobile device, and an upstream device. The workstations are established within a predetermined area, and each workstation includes a substantially horizontal surface having an upper side and a lower side. A presence sensor is positioned at the lower side of each workstation and detects a potential occupancy proximate an underside area below the lower side. A workstation transmitter is positioned at each workstation and coupled to the presence sensor and transmits an occupancy signal based on the potential occupancy detected by the presence sensor. The mobile device is situated within the predetermined area and detects the occupancy signal transmitted by the workstation transmitter and transmits a check-in signal based on the occupancy signal. The upstream device communicates with the mobile device and associates a target workstation with the mobile device based on the check-in signal.
