摘要: Systems, methods, mobile computing devices and computer-readable media are described herein relating to light-based positioning. In various embodiments, light sources (106) may be commissioned to selectively energize one or more LEDs to emit light carrying a coded light signal. The coded light signal may convey information about a location of a lighting effect (102) projected by the one or more LEDs onto a surface (104). In various embodiments, mobile computing devices (100) such as smart phones or tablets may detect these coded light signals from the lighting effects and/or from the light sources, extract the location information, and utilize it to determine their locations within an environment.

摘要: Disclosed are methods and apparatus for commissioning a light source in a lighting system including a plurality of light sources capable of emitting coded light. An autonomous vehicle with one or more light sensors and a location detector navigates throughout the lighting system. The light sensor detects an identifier encoded in a light source and the location detector determines the location of the autonomous vehicle. The location is associated with the encoded identifier, thereby commissioning the light source.

摘要: Methods and apparatus for detection and notification of pressure waves are described herein. A lighting unit (100) may include one or more light sources (104) such as LEDs, a pressure wave sensor (106), a communication interface (108), and a controller (102) operably coupled with the one or more LEDs, the pressure wave sensor, and the communication interface. In various embodiments, the controller may be configured to receive a signal from the pressure wave sensor, the signal representative of one or more pressure waves detected by the pressure wave sensor. The controller may be configured to determine, based on the signal received from the pressure wave sensor, that the detected one or more pressure waves satisfy a predetermined criterion. The controller may be configured to transmit, to one or more remote lighting units via the communication interface, notification that the predetermined criterion has been satisfied.

摘要: The present invention relates to assisting a user in selecting a lighting device (408) design through receiving an image of a scene, e.g. the user taking a picture using his/her smartphone of his/her living room (410) and analyzing this image in order to select or generate a lighting device (408) design. The analysis can comprise determining the presence of a pattern, material or color in the scene and a lighting device (408) design can be selected (e.g. from an electronic catalog) that comprises a similar pattern, material or color. As another example, a lighting device (408) design can be generated to match such a pattern, material or color. The invention further comprises a system and computer program product for implementation of this method.

摘要: Methods and apparatus for lighting control. One or more properties of light output of one or more LEDs (124A, 124B, 124C, 124N) of an LED node (120A, 120B, 120C, 120N) of an LED-based lighting unit (110) are controlled to extend the lifetime of the LED-based lighting unit. For example, an LED node controller controlling an LED may determine whether the LED will be operated in the active light emitting state based on an LED activation probability. Thus, based on the LED activation probability the LED may at some times be in the active light emitting state and provide light output and may at other times be prevented from being in the active light emitting state and prevented from providing light output.

摘要: Methods, apparatus and computing devices are described herein for activatable lighting devices. In various embodiments, a composition of a lighting system may be ascertained based at least in part on a database (851, 951) of one or more lighting device records associated with one or more lighting devices (100, 600, 700, 800a, 800b, 900, 1000a, 1000b, 1000c) of the lighting system. In various embodiments, it may be determined, based on the ascertained composition, that a predetermined criterion is satisfied. In various embodiments, a communication may be issued in response to the determination. The communication may be configured to facilitate activation of a deactivated lighting device function of a lighting device associated with the lighting system.

摘要: Disclosed is a lighting assembly (10) that includes a mounting surface (14) that that allows the installer to attach the assembly to an external structure (15) with an adhesive strip (144). The lighting assembly also includes a light-emitting surface (18) that directs spot illumination to a predetermined display area (17) by way of a combination of collimated light-emitting elements (182) and an optical element (184). The lighting assembly also features a touch-sensitive surface (16) that allows the user to both program the lighting assembly and control the display lighting in a flexible manner by providing the user with different modes of interacting with the lighting assembly.

摘要: An LED-based lighting unit (100, 200, 300, 400, 1000, 1100, 1200, 1300, 1400, 1500) may be installable into a luminaire (108, 208, 308, 408, 1008, 1108, 1208, 1308, 1408, 1508) to cause the luminaire to be responsive to applied forces and/or movements to control one or more properties of light emitted by the lighting unit. The lighting unit may include one or more LEDs (102), an accelerometer (114), and a controller (112). The controller may: receive, from the accelerometer, a signal representative of a measured mechanical force applied to or movement of the luminaire in which the LED-based lighting unit is installed; determine, based on the signal from the accelerometer, that the measured mechanical force or movement corresponds to one or more predetermined forces or movements; and energize the one or more LEDs to emit light having one or more properties selected based on the determination.
