The neighboring lighting devices are selected from the plurality of lighting devices. In addition, the apparatus includes a memory storage unit to store the data received via the communications interface, wherein the data is to be stored in a database. Furthermore, the apparatus includes an aggregator to generate aggregated data for each lighting device from the data in the database. The aggregated data includes data from the plurality of lighting devices. The apparatus also includes a processor to classify each lighting device of the plurality of lighting devices in a group selected from a plurality of groups based on the aggregated data.

    摘要: An example of an apparatus to determine a room type is provided. The apparatus includes a sensor to detect a motion event in a space. In addition, the apparatus includes a memory storage unit to store data associated with the motion event. Furthermore, the apparatus includes a communications interface to communicate with an external device. The communications interface is to transmit the local dataset to the external device and to receive an external dataset from the external device to be stored in the memory storage unit. The apparatus also includes an aggregator in communication with the memory storage unit to combine the local dataset with the external dataset to generate a motion signature. The apparatus further includes a matching engine to select a room type based on the motion signature.

    摘要: An example of an apparatus to provision a decentralized network is provided. The apparatus includes a memory storage unit to store a status identifier to indicating whether the apparatus is in a non-provisioned state or a provisioned state. The apparatus further includes a beacon transmitter to transmit an outgoing beacon signal and a beacon receiver to receive an incoming beacon signal from an external device. The apparatus includes an infrared communicator to send and receive signals with the external. In addition, the apparatus in the non-provisioned state includes an election engine to determine a priority relative to the external device upon receiving the incoming beacon signal. The apparatus also includes a provisioning engine to change the status identifier from the non-provisioned state to the provisioned state and to send a provisioning key to the external device to join a network upon confirmation the external device is within the secure space.

    摘要: A motion sensor for detection motion of humans is provided. The motion sensor contains a near infrared (NIR) low resolution image sensor that captures image frames in the near infrared spectrum and a sensor that detects the amount of visible light. In addition, a processor is connected to the visible light sensor and the NIR motion sensor. The processor is configured to receive the amount of visible light from the visible light sensor and the images from the NIR low resolution image sensor. The processor is further configured to compare the image frames to detect motion; the sensitivity of the detection of motion is determined by the amount of visible light detected by the visible light sensor. The output has two or modes based on the detection of motion by the processor.

    摘要: A system and a method for automatically creating and operating a functional association of multiple luminaires is proposed. The system consists of two or more devices that each contain one or more sensors, logic processing circuitry and communication circuitry that is able to transmit messages between devices. The set of devices that constitute the members of a functional association is selected from a larger set of candidate devices. The selection process involves each device comparing the sensor data received from neighbouring devices relating to occupancy and daylight sensors against the device's occupancy and daylight sensor data.

    摘要: A controller based apparatus mounted on the ceiling of a room to control the lighting level of a space includes an image sensor/detector for capturing spatial data, ambient light data, and images and an optical element which allows sufficient light to pass through such that the image sensor can collect sufficient data to provide the controller in order to extract motion events, occupancy data, and/or ambient light readings while maintaining the privacy of individuals by reducing the optical resolution of the image sensor such that fine features, such as facial features or other identifiable features of people or objects, cannot be recorded or stored.
