LEARNING CAPABLE LIGHTING EQUIPMENT

摘要

A lighting device or system is configured to control of one or more parameters of light output, such as ON/OFF status, intensity when ON, color characteristics and position or orientation of light output (e.g. via a motorized luminaire control). The device or system may have other output capability, e.g. display projection or audio. Sensors or other input devices are responsive to the user. Responsive to user input, sensed activity, and/or acquired information, the device or system, controls a light source in accordance with a lighting control function. Operation of the light source and the lighting control function may be modified based on learning by the device or system.

主权项

1. A system, comprising:
a processor; a source of light, the source of light being configured to output visible light in a manner permitting control of a plurality of parameters of the visible light output, responsive to control by the processor; a sensor configured to detect a condition in a space illuminated by the system, the condition relating to an activity of an occupant when within the space, and to provide a condition responsive input to the processor; a data communication interface, controlled by the processor, configured for communication of data from and to the system over a network; a storage device accessible by the processor; and a program in the storage device, wherein execution of the program by the processor configures the system to implement functions, including functions to: identify the occupant; retrieve a profile of the identified occupant, the profile including a lighting control function established for the identified occupant; operate the light source to illuminate the space while the identified occupant is in the space, including control of at least one of the plurality of parameters of the visible light output in accordance with the lighting control function established for the identified occupant; access information about the identified occupant from an on-line service, via communication over the network, to determine a status of the identified occupant for the on-line service; process the condition responsive signal from the sensor to determine an activity status of the identified occupant while in the space; and based on at least one of the determined statuses of the identified occupant, adjust the control of the at least one of the plurality of parameters of the visible light output in accordance with the lighting control function established for the identified occupant.
