Method for movement in a physically configurable space and device for use with the method
First Claim
1. A method for movement in a physically configurable space, the space including one or more physically configurable elements, a first user being at a first location and in a first position in the physically configurable space, the method comprising:
- providing the physically configurable space with at least one sensor;
connecting the at least one sensor to a control unit;
sensing at least the first user'"'"'s first location in the physically configurable space with the at least one sensor;
configuring the at least one configurable element with the control unit on the basis of sensed information from the at least one sensor so that the first user'"'"'s allowed moving space in the physically configurable space is altered;
storing information about the first user'"'"'s physical data in the control unit;
storing information on the first user'"'"'s movements in the physically configurable space in the control unit; and
combining the information about the first user'"'"'s physical data and movements in the physically configurable space and using the information about the first user'"'"'s physical data and movements in the physically configurable space to configure the at least one configurable element.

Abstract
A method is for movement in a physically configurable space. The space includes one or more physically configurable elements. A first user is in a first location and in a first position in the physically configurable space. The method includes providing the physically configurable space with at least one sensor, connecting the at least one sensor to a control unit, and sensing at least the first user'"'"'s first location in the physically configurable space by the at least one sensor. The method further includes configuring the at least one configurable element by the control unit on the basis of sensed information from the at least one sensor so that the first user'"'"'s allowed moving space is altered. A configurable space is for use with the method.

7. A physically configurable space comprising:
-
one or more physically configurable elements; at least one sensor arranged to sense at least a first user'"'"'s first location in the space; and a control unit, to which the at least one sensor is connected, wherein the control unit is arranged to configure the at least one configurable element on the basis of sensed information from the at least one sensor, so that the first user'"'"'s allowed moving space in the physically configurable space is altered; wherein the control unit includes a storage unit adapted to store information about the first user'"'"'s physical data, and information about the first user'"'"'s movements in the physically configurable space; and wherein the control unit is adapted to use at least part of the information about the first user'"'"'s physical data and movements in the physically configurable space to configure the at least one configurable element. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 14)

15. A system comprising:
-
a plurality of physically configurable spaces, each comprising one or more physically configurable elements, a first user being at a first location and in a first position in at least a respective one of the plurality of physically configurable spaces, the system comprising providing each of the plurality of physically configurable spaces with at least one sensor; connecting the at least one sensor to a control unit; sensing at least the first user'"'"'s first location in the respective one of the plurality of physically configurable spaces with the at least one sensor; configuring the at least one configurable element with the control unit on the basis of sensed information from the at least one sensor so that the first user'"'"'s allowed moving space in the respective one of physically configurable space is altered; storing information about the first user'"'"'s physical data in the control unit; storing information on the first user'"'"'s movements in the respective one of the plurality of physically configurable spaces in the control unit; and combining the information about the first user'"'"'s physical data and movements in the respective one of the physically configurable spaces and using it to configure the at least one configurable element; wherein the plurality of physically configurable spaces are connected to the control unit.
