摘要:
A multi-dimensional controller (150) controls the multiple parameters of a lighting system (250). A track-ball (100) that provides three axes of rotation (101-103), for example, is used to control each of three lighting parameters, such as chrominance, luminance, and saturation. In like manner, intensity, direction, and diffusion control may be controlled by a device with three degrees of freedom/control. Force-feedback (120) is optionally provided to indicate divergence from established presets (220) or recommended operating conditions. Switches (130) and other control elements are also provided to store or recall preset parameters (220), override scheduled lighting settings, and so on.

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:
The present invention provides a method and apparatus for optical feedback control for an illumination device, wherein the control signal for each array of one or more light-emitting elements corresponding to a particular color, is independently configured using a modification signal whose frequency is different for each color. Electronic filters whose center frequencies are substantially equal to the modification signal frequencies of the drive currents for the light-emitting elements are used to discriminate between the radiant flux corresponding to each of the different colors of light-emitting elements, from a sample of the mixed radiant flux output collected by one or more optical sensors. The output of an individual electronic filter is substantially directly proportional to the radiant flux output of the light-emitting elements of the associated color, which together with the desired luminous flux and chromaticity of the output light, the controller can use to adjust the control signals.

Disclosed herein is an object-sensing lighting network and an intelligent control system therefore. The control system dynamically determines the at least one lighting fixture's relationship to a plurality of other lighting fixtures. The light output level of a light source of the at least one lighting fixture is based at least partially on the at least one lighting fixture's relationship to the other lighting fixtures.

Systems and methods for deriving and modifying personal preferences 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 an identifier for a user, a plurality of adjustments to the at least one controllable lighting network requested by the user, and a context corresponding to each of the plurality of adjustments. The processor in some such systems has an associated local memory to store the plurality of adjustments, corresponding contexts, and the identifier of the associated user. The processor is further used to analyze the plurality of lighting adjustments and the corresponding contexts. Based on the analysis, the processor identifies a correlation between the plurality of adjustments and the contexts, and create at least one personal preference rule associated with the user identifier based on the correlation. The preferences database in some such systems is used to store the rules and the plurality of adjustments.

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.
