摘要:
A system and method for controlling the surveillance conducted by lost or stolen electronic devices dependent upon the location of such electronic devices is provided. A data repository contains data that specifies, for each of a plurality of geographic regions (e.g. legal jurisdictions), a set of surveillance methods that are permissible in the respective region. At least some of the geographic regions have different respective sets of permissible surveillance methods than others. A computer system is operable to communicate with the devices over a computer network, and programmed to use received information regarding a location of a potentially lost or stolen device, in combination with the data in the computer data repository, to cause the potentially lost or stolen device to initiate surveillance according to the set of permissible surveillance methods (and/or other actions) corresponding to the location.

Systems and methods for managing interaction with controllable lighting networks are disclosed. Particularly, a user's input regarding the user's preferred level of interaction with a controllable lighting network is used in conjunction with memories and processors, to selectively allow the controllable lighting network access to the user's personal data such as the user's identity or the user's personal lighting preferences. A user's preferred level of interaction with a controllable lighting network is also used, in conjunction with personal mobile electronic communication devices, to allow the user to control lighting within controllable lighting networks.
摘要:
Systems and methods for creating a marketplace of lighting atmosphere settings related to at least one controllable lighting network are disclosed. The systems include a processor that can be used in conjunction with a personal communication device and a preferences database. The processor is used to detect a user identifier, a user input associated with a set of lighting atmosphere settings, and optionally a context corresponding to the user identifier. The processor in some such systems has an associated local memory to store the user input, the set of lighting atmosphere settings, and the identifier of the associated user. The processor is further used to identify a setting identifier associated with the set of lighting atmosphere settings from a preference database. The processor is also used to provide or approve a payment for the value of the set of lighting atmosphere settings to the marketplace. In exchange for the payment, the processor retrieves the set of lighting atmosphere settings using the setting identifier. The preferences database in some such systems is used to store the setting identifiers, the user input and the associated user identifiers.

A device, method, system and computer readable medium are disclosed for the remote, intelligent capture of screenshots and keystrokes which can subsequently be transmitted with reduced bandwidth requirements.
摘要:
The application discloses a method and apparatus for providing a desired warning signal for a lighting unit. A coded warning system is provided employing a detection module (320) and a signal generating module (330), wherein the detection module is configured to obtain information regarding the detection of one or more operating parameters of the lighting unit and the signal generating module generates a desired warning signal (331) selected from a plurality of warning signals, upon determination that one or more of the operating parameters are abnormal operating parameters. Each warning signal of the plurality of warning signals is indicative of a specific abnormal operating parameter or a known combination of specific abnormal operating parameters.

摘要:
The present invention provides a light source generally comprising one or more edge emitting elements, each having a substantially same or similar emission spectrum, or respective emission spectra/colours, and a number of heat extractors thermally coupled thereto. Driving means are also provided to drive the edge emitting elements. Output optical means, such as reflectors, lenses, diffusers, collimators, filters and the like may also be included to collect, mix and/or redirect light emitted by the edge emitting elements to produce a desired optical effect. The light source may also comprise an optional control feedback system adapted to monitor an output of the light source and adjust the driving means and/or output optical means to maintain a desired or optimal output.
摘要:
A system is disclosed that protects private data of users while permitting the monitoring or tracking of electronic devices that are shared for both business and private purposes. The electronic devices are configured to selectively encrypt location data, and/or other types of data, before such data is transmitted to a monitoring center. For example, data collected or generated on a user device outside of work hours may be encrypted with a private key of the device's user prior to transmission to the monitoring center, so that the data is not accessible to the employer. Data collected or generated during work hours may be transmitted without such encryption.
摘要:
The present invention provides an illumination module comprising one or more light-emitting elements which are thermally coupled to one or more heat extraction elements. The one or more heat extraction elements are configured to transfer heat in substantially a first direction. One or more optical elements are further integrated into the illumination module, wherein the one or more optical elements are optically coupled to the one or more light-emitting elements and configured to redirect the light emitted by the one or more light-emitting elements in substantially the first direction.
