Abstract: In various example embodiments, a system and method for interactive applications that use location-based information from a light sensor network are presented. In example embodiments, data indicating a destination location inside a geofence is received. The geofence represents a boundary around multiple private beacon nodes, which are associated with a light sensor network, and their associated beacon communications ranges. Navigation and tracking outside the geofence is based on at least one of global positioning system (GPS) signals and beacon signals received by the mobile device from at least one public beacon device within a beacon communications range of the mobile device located outside the geofence. Navigation and tracking inside the geofence is based on the beacon signals received by the mobile device from at least one private beacon node within the beacon communications range of the mobile device located inside the geofence and a virtual map including an area within the geofence.

Abstract: In one example, a sensor node comprises a core node to enable lighting control for a luminaire. The core node has a base forming a plug portion of a socket. The plug portion has at least one optional pin and represents a NEMA socket including a receptacle that is attached to the base of the core node such that the core node is enclosed by the NEMA socket. The socket provides light level control for a light-emitting diode (LED) driver for the luminaire. The sensor node further comprises one or more peripheral devices having sensors for detecting conditions and producing sensor information based on the detected conditions. The sensor node also includes a pod bus which enables power signals to be transmitted to each of the peripheral devices.

Abstract: A method and associated apparatus are disclosed for measuring illumination characteristics of a luminaire having unknown characteristics. The method includes steps of providing an array of calibrated photodetectors in known locations in proximity to a mounting location, and then illuminating the array with a luminaire having unknown illumination properties. The resulting data is used to calculate the luminous intensity vs. angle from the luminaire and the luminous flux of the luminaire. Methods of calibrating the measurement with a known luminaire are presented along with methods of determining the angular position of the detectors in the array. Color-sensitive detectors can be used to determine the angular distribution and average value of the luminaire's correlated color temperature.

Abstract: In one example, a method of protecting customer data in a networked system comprises collecting sensor data available at sensor nodes within a sensor network in communication with a service data platform over a network. The method includes encrypting the sensor data using a certified public key associated with a customer key-pair, the sensor data representing the customer data associated with sensitive identification information. The sensor data is cryptographically signed with a device private key. The method includes transporting the encrypted sensor data to the service data platform for storage, and decrypting at the service data platform, the encrypted sensor data using a private key sharing scheme that reconstructs the private key associated with the customer key-pair using a first share and a password encrypted second share, the first share assigned to the service data platform and the password encrypted second share assigned to a customer of the customer key-pair.

Abstract: A method of determining the position of an array of sensors, an array of solid-state lamps, or other devices which sense or emit electromagnetic waves includes first determining a sensing or emitting distribution for one of the devices, then integrating that distribution over the area to be covered by the sensors or emitters. In response to the integrated distribution, the sensors or emitters may be repositioned, reconfigured, or reoriented to provide desired coverage. Wireless access points that communicate to wireless end points associated with the lights and/or sensors are designed and positioned to provide adequate signal strength. All elements, light distribution, sensor range, and wireless signal strength may be plotted in contour plots within the same user interface that enables users to place the devices in a specified area.
