Methods and apparatus for controlling lighting

摘要

Disclosed are methods and apparatus for lighting control. Presence of a lighting control element (110, 310, 312A-C, 510, 512, 610, 710, 915, 917) is identified over one or more LEDs (323, 327, 930) and at least one lighting control property of the lighting control element is identified. At least one property of light output of controlled light sources associated with the lighting control element is adjusted based on the lighting control property of the lighting control element. The lighting control element may be a user interface element.

主权项

1. A method of associating a user interface element with at least one light source, comprising:
identifying presence of a user interface element over one or more covered LEDs of a plurality of LEDs; associating the user interface element with control of controlled LEDs of the LEDs based on the presence identification of the user interface element; identifying at least one lighting control property of the user interface element, wherein the identifying at least the lighting control property of the user interface element is based on sensing of at least one physical characteristic of the user interface element via at least one of the covered LEDs; identifying a user interaction with the user interface element; and adjusting at least one property of the controlled LEDs in response to the user interaction with the user interface element, wherein the adjusting of the controlled LEDs is based on the lighting control property of the user interface element; wherein the user interface element is attachable over the covered LEDS.
