    摘要: The present disclosure is directed to inventive systems and methods for automatically controlling illumination of a workplace. The lighting system includes one or more tunable luminaires and a calendar module executing on a computer-implemented device configured to receive a calendar entry. The calendar entry includes a starting time of a future event, the identity of one or more invitees to the future event, and a lighting scene selection for the workplace. A lighting controller receives the lighting scene selection from the calendar module and generates one or more control signals to automatically adjust at least one characteristic of light emitted by the tunable luminaires in the workplace for the future event based on the lighting scene selection in the calendar entry.

    摘要: The described embodiments relate to systems, methods, and apparatus for employing a network (410) of smart luminaires (402, 440) to perform tasks typically reserved for remote servers. The network of smart luminaires can include lighting elements for illuminating an area, as well as a computer system for processing and transmitting data. Various computational tasks can be parsed and delegated to certain smart luminaires in the network (410) in order to optimize the use of each smart luminaire in the network. Computational tasks can originate at the smart luminaires or be delegated to the smart luminaires by another device. Additionally, data that is processed by the smart luminaires can be transmitted to other devices, thereby allowing other devices to leverage the computing power of a nearby network of smart luminaires.

    摘要: The described implementations provided herein relate to systems, methods, and apparatuses for using a network of luminaires to perform distributed computation of sensor data to identify hardware and network anomalies. In some implementations, a method is set forth as including operations such as receiving, from a first luminaire (114, 128, 216), first sensor data (122, 124) in response to a stimulus (204) affecting a network of luminaires (110), and receiving, from a second luminaire (208) in the network of luminaires, second sensor data. The method can also include determining a correlation between the first sensor data and the second sensor data, and modifying a luminaire spatial-temporal model (222) based at least partially on the correlation. The method can also include receiving subsequent sensor data from the first luminaire or the second luminaire, and providing a signal (212) to the first luminaire or the second luminaire based on a comparison of the subsequent sensor data to the luminaire spatial-temporal model.

    摘要: The present invention is related to an application of a Single Pixel Thermopile (SPT). The invention provides a sensor device comprising a Single Pixel Thermopile and a controller, wherein the Single Pixel Thermopile is configured to monitor a detection region and to measure over time a temperature signal of said detection region; wherein the detection region is bounded by a surface and the Single Pixel Thermopile is oriented at an angle of at least 20 degrees normal to the surface; wherein a projection of the detection region onto the surface renders an elongated detection area with a length axis and a width axis; wherein the controller is configured to: obtain the temperature signal of the detection region; determine a movement characteristic of a person moving across said surface by detecting a pattern in the temperature signal of the detection region; output an output signal configured to control an electrical device upon determining the movement characteristic.

    摘要: A system and method for compressive sensing using edge nodes of a distributed computing network. The method includes collecting a raw data signal continuously by a sensor of the edge node. A signal energy indicator is dynamically updated that quantifies an energy distortion in the raw data signal. One or more compression characteristics are determined as a function of the signal energy indicator as the signal energy indicator is updated. The raw data signal is subsampled in accordance with current values of the one or more compression characteristics to create a compressed data signal. An output is transmitted that includes the compressed data signal to a centralized node.
