Abstract: A method of controlling a light source (105) via a handheld computing device (110) is disclosed. The method comprises receiving an input produced by one or more sensors of the handheld computing device, the input being indicative of a current orientation of the handheld computing device. The method further comprises determining, based at least in part on the input, that the handheld computing device is in a predefined triggering orientation, e.g. in a generally horizontal orientation. In response to so determining, one or more frames of image data are acquired via an image sensor connected to the handheld computing device (110). The method further comprises obtaining an identifier of the light source, e.g. from information encoded into light emitted by the light source (105), having determined that the one or more frames of image data comprise image data representative of the light source (105). The method further comprises transmitting to the light source (105) a command indicative of a desired light setting for the light source (105), which desired light setting may for example have been provided via user input or may be a predefined setting retrieved from memory. A handheld computing device (110) and a lighting system (100) are also disclosed.

Abstract: A controlling device such as a remote control has programming for transmitting a signal response to a plurality of control environments, each environment including a signaling device. Each signaling device in receipt of the signal request sends a signal response having a unique ID which is chosen to be characteristically attenuated by the surroundings of the environment. Because the controlling device can only be in one environment at a given time, and given the attenuation characteristics of the signal response from each signaling device, only one signal response will be received by the controlling device in each environment. Location definitions associated with the received unique ID may be used by programming in the controlling device to recall saved devices states, commands sets, macros, and even to dynamically generate commands based on the location information.
