Group management of a wireless power outage lighting system

摘要

Aspects of the presently disclosed embodiments may include a wireless power outage lighting system comprising one or more power change detection apparatuses and one or more wireless lighting modules where the system is implemented to allow management of multiple groups in the same area such that interference may be avoided when there are multiple transmissions in the same area. A power change detection apparatus may be configured to transmit to avoid interference with another power change detection apparatus. A power change detection apparatus may also be configured through the user input method to operate different groups of wireless lighting modules such that lighting zones may be created. Multiple lighting zone allow a user to configure lighting provided by the wireless power outage lighting system based on their preference.

主权项

1. A wireless power outage lighting system, comprising:
a first power change detection apparatus comprising:
a first electric power interface in electrical communication with an electric power source;a first detector configured to detect a change in electric power of the electric power source;a first wireless transmitter configured to transmit, to a first wireless lighting module, a first lighting action command after a first time delay and in response to the detected change in electric power; anda first energy storage device configured to provide power to the first power change detection apparatus; the first wireless lighting module comprising:
a light source;a receiver configured to receive the first lighting action command directing the first wireless lighting module to respond to the detected change in electric power;a power source configured to provide power to the light source;a controller configured to control the power source in response to the lighting action command; anda housing including the light source, the receiver and the power source; the wireless power outage lighting system further including: a second power change detection apparatus comprising:
a second electric power interface in electrical communication with the electric power source;a second detector configured to detect the change in the electric power of the electric power source; anda second wireless transmitter configured to, in response to the detected change, transmit a second lighting action command to a second wireless lighting module after a second time delay to avoid interference with the first wireless transmitter, wherein the second lighting action command directs the second wireless lighting module to respond to the detected change in electric power.
