AI can urge office workers to sit up straight, SingTown Technology brings a sedentary management solution.

As the issues of cervical spondylosis and lumbar fatigue caused by sedentary office work become increasingly prominent, healthy and intelligent office methods have emerged as a new industry trend. Traditional height-adjustable desks often rely on manual or timed adjustments, failing to perceive the user's actual posture and sedentary state, with limited reminder methods. To address this, smart office equipment manufacturers have adopted SingTown's OpenMV smart camera to build a machine vision-based intelligent desk system.

This system utilises AI image recognition and human posture detection technology to monitor a user's sitting posture at their desk in real time. When it detects poor postures such as slouching, hunching, or leaning to one side, the system automatically issues a reminder.

Simultaneously, when the user remains seated for longer than the set duration (e.g., 45 minutes), the system will automatically activate the electric lifting mechanism to gradually raise the desktop, guiding the user into a standing work mode, thereby effectively reducing the health risks associated with prolonged sitting.

This solution requires precise identification, rapid response, and smooth control, adapting to various office environments and individual differences.

Intelligent office equipment manufacturers have developed a smart desk posture detection system based on SingTown Technology's OpenMV intelligent camera. This system integrates AI image recognition, human pose estimation, behaviour analysis, and automatic height adjustment control technologies to provide intelligent health management solutions for office environments.

The system secures the OpenMV camera above or in front of the desk, using a wide-angle lens to capture real-time images of the user's sitting posture.

AI algorithms determine changes in the posture of the head, shoulders, and spine through key point recognition and geometric angle calculation, identifying whether the user is sitting upright, slouching, or leaning forward.

When poor posture is detected, the system will alert the user to adjust promptly via a buzzer, voice announcement, or desktop indicator light.

The system can also spontaneously assist sedentary users in standing while working: the built-in sedentary detection logic calculates the duration of continuous sitting posture. Upon exceeding the set time, it automatically sends a control signal to the lifting motor, gradually raising the desk to standing height and reminding the user to stand up and move around.

Leveraging SingTown Technology's OpenMV features of automatic exposure compensation, real-time recognition, and low-power operation, the system can function stably under varying lighting and body size conditions.

The test results indicate that the system achieves an attitude detection accuracy of over 96% within a distance of 0.6 metres, a lifting response time of less than 1 second, and a sedentary reminder error of under 3 minutes.

This solution, built upon SingTown Technology's OpenMV intelligent camera, is widely applicable in areas such as smart office desks, corporate health management systems, and remote work equipment. It enables AI machine vision to genuinely empower occupational health management, providing professionals with a scientific and intelligent healthy office experience.
