SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SIMULTANEOUSLY CONTROLLING CINEMA SEATS
A system for simultaneously controlling multiple reclining theater chairs comprising a radio frequency transmitter unit comprising a key operated switch or button and a transmitter antenna; a receiver unit structured to receive a signal from the transmitter unit; and a control unit coupled to the receiver unit and to a motor driver for modifying a recline configuration of an individual theater seat. A radio unit receiving a signal from the transmitter to change the configuration of the theater seat between fully raising and lowering a leg support. The system allows an individual to move each seat into a reclined position independently, then back to a fully closed and upright position in the amount of time allowed to clean the theater.
