SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MODELING A LIGHTING CONTROL SYSTEM

摘要

A system and method for modeling a lighting control system for an enterprise is provided comprising an application (App) on a mobile device, or laptop, or personal computer, or other like device, that can communicate electronically with a webpage accessible by the internet or local area network or wide area network, wherein the webpage represents a program, and the program provides for the receiving, storing, and processing of lighting control system specified information on a space-by-space basis, and further wherein a unique part number for the space-based lighting control system can be generated for the particular space, such that delivery of individual, but substantially integrated space-based lighting control systems, can be delivered to the spaces for installation in the enterprise location.

主权项

1. A computer implemented method for specifying two or more lighting control systems (LCS) by a specifier of an enterprise location, the enterprise location including two or more spaces, the method comprising:
(a) receiving log-in information from the specifier at a first server on a webpage; (b) verifying an identity of the specifier using the received log-in information; (c) receiving enterprise location job information from the specifier; (d) receiving a space number from the specifier, wherein the space number represents a selected space of the two or more total number of spaces of the enterprise location; (e) receiving a controller type part number for the selected space as specified by the specifier, wherein
the controller is adapted to control at least one of one or more of zones of the selected space of the enterprise location; (f) receiving a plurality of additional part numbers each of which corresponds to a plurality of additional components that can be used with the controller type, as specified by the specifier, and wherein
each of the plurality of options represents a plurality of additional components for the selected space, and further whereineach of the plurality of options are entered separately and independently of each other option, and still further whereineach of the plurality of additional components is adapted to provide additional lighting features for the selected space of the enterprise location; (g) generating a unique LCS space specification part number based, in part, on the received controller type part number, the received space number of the selected space, and the plurality of options that represent the plurality of additional components; (h) repeating each of steps (d)-(g) for each of the total number of spaces of the enterprise location; and (i) creating a job specification package, wherein
the job specification package can be used to separately package, by a packaging entity, each of the two or more lighting control systems for the selected two or more spaces of the enterprise location, and further whereinthe job specification package can be used to separately deliver, by a delivery entity, each of the two or more lighting control systems for the selected two or more spaces of the enterprise location to the respective spaces of the enterprise location (620-642).
