LED lighting system

摘要

A lighting system includes at least one lighting apparatus having a light emitting element capable of emitting a controllably variable light output in a region. A position determination subsystem is capable of determining a position in three dimensions of at least one mobile entity within the region. A control subsystem is capable of variably controlling a light output of the at least one lighting apparatus according to the position of the mobile entity. The system may determine position by radio ranging with mobile electronic elements. The system may include multiple lighting elements and may determine light levels according to positions of multiple mobile entities. The system may include a database of information about lighting elements, mobile entities, and lighting plans that may be selected from mobile electronic elements.

1. A lighting system for use with one or more mobile electronics devices, said lighting system comprising:
a database for storing unique IDs of the one or more mobile electronics devices; a plurality of light fixtures having unique identifiers; the plurality of light fixtures further comprising a first light fixture with a first known location and a second light fixture with a second known location; the first and the second known location being stored in the database; said lighting system further comprises; a control subsystem for controlling the one or more light fixtures; a position determination subsystem in communication with the one or more electronic devices capable of determining positions in three dimensions of each of the one or more electronic devices; a vector determination subsystem in communication with the position determination unit and with the one or more electronic devices;
wherein the one or more mobile electronics devices comprising: an interface through which a user can communicate with the plurality of light fixtures and provide an input for setting a lighting level; a light sensor measuring a light level; wherein the one or more electronics devices transmitting a signal to the first or the second light fixture, based on the received signal and the known location of the first and second light fixtures, the vector determination subsystem determines the exact position of the one or more mobile devices; once the exact position of the one or mobile devices are determined, the control subsystem can adjust a light intensity, brightness or level based on the location of the one or more mobile devices, and/or the one or more mobile devices can transmit a personalized user preference through the input of the user interface to the control subsystem for adjusting a light based on the user selection; wherein the personalized user preference is a plurality of pre-stored light illumination plans; wherein based on the position determination, the control subsystem can track the movement of the one or more mobile devices and adjust the light intensity, brightness or level to allow cost-saving illumination plans; and the control subsystem is determined to estimate a light output power required for each of the plurality of the light fixtures in respect to the position of the one or more mobile device in an area; wherein the one or more plurality of the light fixtures are reducing light level simultaneously as the user is leaving the area.
