    摘要: Proposed is an object localization method, system and user interface device for locating a (misplaced) object (10) in an area of a construction (1). The method comprises the steps of (i) identifying the object (10), (ii) providing an illumination device (20) comprising a plurality of light sources (30) modulated to emit light comprising light source identification codes (35), (iii) illuminating the tag (11) with light emitted by the light sources (30), (iv) requesting the tag (11) to measure the illumination and to identify the light sources (30) illuminating the tag by their light source identification codes (35), (v) transmitting object location data from the tag (11) relating to the measured illumination and light source identification codes (35) to a master controller (25) arranged to control the illumination device (20), (vi) providing a feedback signal related to the object (10) using the master controller (25). The method is characterized by using a lighting infrastructure (27) of the construction (1) in providing the illumination device (20). Advantageously, the method enables a user to obtain a feedback signal about the location of the desired object without the need to move through the construction. Instead, the method enables the user to locate many objects within a construction or area from a single fixed position.

    摘要: A vehicle position measurement system (100) and method to determine the (relative) position of a vehicle (110) and an object (120) are proposed. The system comprises at least two light sources (131, 132) capable of emitting light and positioned at a predetermined distance (140) to each other. Furthermore the system comprises at least one detector (150/151, 152) capable of measuring the light emitted. The light emitted by the light sources comprises synchronized light source identification codes. The detector is arranged to determine the position of the vehicle (110) and object (120) on the basis of a phase-difference measurement between the light originating from the individual light sources (131, 132) and a comparison phase. The vehicle (110) may comprise the at least two light sources (131, 132) and the detector (151, 152), while the phase-difference is measured between light reflected from the object (120) and the comparison phase. Alternatively, the vehicle (110) may comprise the at least two light sources (131, 132) while the object (120) comprises the detector (150) and the detector is arranged to obtain the comparison phase from the light received from one of the light sources (131, 132). The object may be a vehicle.

    摘要: A direction controllable lighting unit (10) and use thereof in a lighting system (40) are described. A lighting unit (10) has means (16) for directing the light emission (22) into different directions. A plurality of light sources (20a, 20b) are mounted on a common body (14). The light sources (20a, 20b) are disposed to emit directed light into different directions. The light is modulated to contain identification codes ‘A’, ‘B’, which are unique. Within the lighting system (40), an optical sensor (46) is arranged in a region illuminated by the lighting unit (10). The optical sensor (46) demodulates the received light according to the identification code. A control unit (44) is connected to the optical sensor (46) and to the lighting unit (10) to control the direction of the lighting unit (10) based on information from the optical sensor (46).
