SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR FAULT MANAGEMENT IN LIGHTING SYSTEMS

摘要

This invention discloses a method and apparatus for managing lighting systems is disclosed. The method comprises performing a training phase for a plurality of settings wherein the training is represented by statistical al parameters associated with a statistical model and then performing a monitoring oring phase to monitor the lighting system, determining whether characteristics of the monitored lighting system correspond to the model obtained during the training phase and determining an error exists when the monitored lighting system is not within tolerance values of the statistical parameters.

1. A method, operable in a processing system, for determining faults in a lighting system, said method comprising:
performing a training phase, said training phrase comprising
obtaining a plurality of samples for each of a plurality of settings;determining light and/or power statistical parameters associated with said obtained plurality of samples for each of the plurality of settings; and performing a monitoring phase, said monitoring phase comprising:
obtaining measurement samples for each of a plurality of settings in a selected one of said plurality of settings;determining a parameter associated with the measurement samples;determining whether said parameter is within a threshold with respect to said statistical parameters for a corresponding one of said plurality of settings; andindicating an error when said parameter is not within said threshold.
