摘要:
Methods for an outdoor lighting network (100) are disclosed. The methods can adaptively control lighting requirements based upon traffic in the outdoor lighting network (100). The adaptive control provides illumination over a certain response range based upon detection of an object (20) and in addition possibly a velocity of the object (20) by a lighting unit (LUs 1-8) equipped with a sensor (12) For the outdoor lighting network (100), the disclosed methods include deciding when a control message should be transmitted to other lighting units (LUs 1-8), selecting one or more control messaging protocols with modes adapted to achieve a response range depending on the velocity of the object (20) and controlling behavior of a light level output of the lighting unit (LU 1-8).

According to one aspect of the disclosure, a lighting system comprises a remote control unit (4) and at least one lighting device (2a, 2b, 2c) comprising a light driver (13) and a light emitter (14). The remote control unit (4) comprises an image capturing unit (5) and is arranged to control the lighting device (2a, 2b, 2c). To do so, the remote control unit (4) receives information relating to current/present settings of the image capturing unit (5), then determines one or more properties of signals for visible light communications based on these settings. The one or more properties are then communicated to the at least one lighting device (2a, 2b, 2c). Upon reception thereof the light driver (13) generates a light emitting control signal based on the received properties and visible light communications based on the light emitting control signal is emitted by the light emitter (14). According to another aspect, a lighting device (2a, 2b, 2c) adapts emitted modulated light and adapts the modulation so as not to correspond to blind-spots of an image capture unit (5).
摘要:
Protocols for coded light communication and control in a lighting system wherein each lighting device transmits modulated light during illumination are proposed. When a first source lighting device need to transmit information across the lighting system to a destination lighting device one or more intermediate lighting devices decode received coded light transmissions from the first source lighting device. The one or more intermediate lighting devices superimposes the coded light transmissions from the first source lighting device with coded light transmissions from a second source lighting device in a broadcast. The first source lighting device uses the received broadcast signal from the one or more intermediate lighting devices to retrieve the coded light transmissions from the second source lighting device by canceling stored a priori known signal components.

摘要:
A method and device for visible light communication is disclosed. The method comprises selecting a first sequence and a second sequence of light intensity frequencies to represent a first symbol and a second symbol, respectively, for embedding data. The method comprises further transmitting a light signal. The light signal comprises time periods in which a light intensity of the light signal is sequentially controlled according to the selected sequence of light intensity frequencies. Thereby, a frequency hopping light signal is generated, in which data may be embedded. The light signal may be generated and transmitted by the device comprising a light emitter.
