A HORTICULTURE LIGHTING INTERFACE FOR INTERFACING AT LEAST ONE LIGHTING SYSTEM

摘要

The invention provides an interface (20) for converting a desired physiological plant response into control instructions for at least one lighting system (4,5) which has an adjustable lighting property, said interface (20) comprising: a receiver for receiving a desired physiological plant response; a processor functionally coupled to said receiver for converting said desired physiological plant response into said control instructions, and a transmitter (7), functionally coupled to said processor for transmitting said control instructions to said at least one lighting system (4,5) wherein said desired physiological plant response is defined as a set point in a multi-dimensional horticulture action space.

1. An interface for converting a desired physiological plant response into control instructions for at least one lighting system having at least adjustable lighting property, said interface comprising:
a receiver for receiving a desired physiological plant response; a processor functionally coupled to said receiver for converting said desired physiological plant response into said control instructions, and a transmitter, functionally coupled to said processor, for transmitting said control instructions,wherein said desired physiological plant response is defined as a set point in a multi-dimensional horticulture action space, said multi-dimensional horticulture action space being represented by at least two dimensions selected from a first dimension representative for a desired photosynthesis action, a second dimension representative for a desired phototropine action, a third dimension representative for a desired phytochrome Pr action, and a fourth dimension representative for a desired phytochrome Pfr action,wherein said processor is functionally coupled to a memory comprising a description of a subspace of the multi-dimensional horticulture action space representing points in the multi-dimensional horticulture action space that are convertible into control instructions executable by a lighting system, andwherein said processor is adapted for mapping said set point to a target point in said subspace and determine corresponding control instructions for a lighting system.
