Abstract: The invention relates to a peripheral device for communicating with a host and for controlling a controlled device, to a system including such peripheral device and at least the controlled device and to a corresponding method including a communication and a controlling. In order to allow for a possibility for upgrading controlled devices with further functionality during their service life at low initial costs or efforts on the side of the controlled devices, it is provided for an interconnection between a portion of the system using a complex standard and another portion of the system not using such standard by means of the peripheral device having a dual purpose, as a peripheral device to the standard compliant host and as a controlling device to the controlled device. In both cases, however, power is provided to the peripheral device from either the host or from the controlled device.

Abstract: The invention relates to a power providing device (2) for providing power to a plurality of power receiving devices (31), a power distribution system including such power providing device (2), a method for providing power to a plurality of power receiving devices (31) and a corresponding computer program. During standby the power providing device (2) is beneficially supplied with power coming from a power source (1) dedicated or adjusted for the low energy consumption, e.g. a uplink port (23) or a shared power bus. The current drawn from such power source (1) (or the power provided to the downlink power receiving devices (31)) is measured and, for example, the derivative is used in order detecting a current increase just when it starts. This information may be used such the main power supply (29) gets started in order to be available for more power demand than available through the hierarchical powering coming from the standby power source (1).

Abstract: The invention relates to a power providing system (1) comprising a power providing device (2) like a PSE and an electrical device (4) like a PD. In a classification mode in a first phase the power providing device provides one or several voltage pulses and the electrical device draws one or several classification current pulses for indicating the class of the electrical device, wherein in a second phase the power providing device provides one or several voltage pulses for indicating the class of the power providing device. Thus, the indication of the classes of the electrical device and of the power providing device is decoupled in two different phases, which can lead to an improved mutual classification procedure.

Abstract: The present invention relates to Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) systems. The invention proposes to use a classification event to communicate from the PD (121) to the PSE (110, 910). A sensor (310, 410, 510a, 510b) may determine a sensor value, shut down the PoE connection, and reconnect so that the power up cycle with the PSE (110, 910) will start. The sensor (310, 410, 510a, 510b) provides a PoE resistance related to a class 0, 3 where the class relates to the sensor value (e.g., class 0=presence detected; class 1=no presence detected). This procedure may be repeated (e.g. continuously, every minute or whenever the sensor value changes such that the PSE (110, 910) needs to be informed) and if needed multiple cycles can be used to increase the length of the message communicated.

Abstract: The present invention proposes to use a power negotiation connection (e.g. the VBUS channel) of a power delivery interface for transmitting or receiving control commands or, respectively, status information to/from a lighting device. The power negotiation connection can be used as a communication channel that is fully independent of the data connection. It uses, for example, different protocols and different wires than the data connection. Control commands, such as dim level or color, can be encoded in a vendor defined message of a related power negotiation protocol.

Abstract: The invention relates to a control system (4) for controlling lighting units (30, 31, 32, 33) of a lighting system (1), wherein the lighting units are assigned to different areas and the control system is adapted to control the lighting units in accordance with a lighting command, which defines desired power levels, and depending on occupancy information, which is indicative of a degree of occupancy of the areas, such that different lighting units are set to their desired power levels at different times, even if the provided lighting command requests to set the lighting units to their respective desired power levels at substantially the same time. This can reduce the likelihood of, for instance, blown fuses or damaged components of the lighting system, while, because of the consideration of the occupancy information, the delay in setting the lighting units to their desired power levels may be not or only hardly visible.

Abstract: A lighting system and a method for an operating a lighting system, enabling to obtain an identification tag comprised in lighting design data directly from an output beam, i.e. from the emitted light of the at least one lighting unit. It is thus possible to trace any unauthorized distribution of a lighting design by monitoring the emitted light without the need to directly access the controller or any other part of the lighting system.

Abstract: The present invention provides a support system for supporting the commissioning of a networked power distribution system (1). The networked power distribution system comprises at least one power supply (2) with one or more power connectors (12, 12a) for supplying power to the one or more power connectors and a data communication interface for exchanging communication data. The support system (6) comprises one or more load device detectors (7) for detecting the connecting and/or disconnecting of a load device (3a) to/from a power connector (12a), and a commissioning tool (8) for performing steps of commissioning the networked power distribution system with regard to the load device. The commissioning tool is adapted to automatically perform at least some of the commissioning steps in response to the detection of the connecting and/or disconnecting of the load device. This can allow for a relatively easy commissioning of the networked power distribution system.
