Abstract: A remote-control modular lighting system allows users to select individual lighting modules for adjustment by momentarily pointing the remote control at the lighting module to be adjusted. Subsequent adjustments may be done without aiming at the lamp, allowing the operators attention to be on the subject being lit. Control functions may include aiming of the light, power on/off, dimming, etc. In one preferred embodiment, individual lamps broadcast an identifier code to be stored in the remote. This allows the remote to adjust groups of lamps, or change a group of lamps to a particular stored configuration. This functionality is achieved without the requirement of special set-up procedures during installation.

Abstract: A remote-control modular lighting system utilizing a directional wireless remote control for the selective adjustment and programming of individual lighting modules is disclosed. Individual lighting modules may be selected for adjustment by momentarily pointing the remote control at the lighting module to be adjusted. Subsequent adjustments may be done without aiming at the lamp, allowing the operators attention to be on the subject being lit. For home or retail applications, control functions may include aiming of the light, switching on and off the light, and dimming. Theatrical applications may also include control of spot size and color. Lighting modules may also be controlled as a group or individually. Different groups of lights may be defined within the remote, and lights may be members of multiple groups. The system further provides the ability to store a series of commands associated with a particular light (either within the light or the remote), and the ability to selectively execute a series a stored series of commands. Applications of a stored timed command series might include such things as a theatrical performance. Applications for recalling individual commands for single lights or groups of lights include home use where such lighting settings as nullromancenull, nullTVnull, and nullReadingnull could be recalled, and retail use where settings for a particular merchandise display could be recalled.

Abstract translation: 公开了一种利用定向无线遥控器进行各个照明模块的选择性调节和编程的遥控模块化照明系统。 可以通过将遥控器暂时指向要调整的照明模块来选择单独的照明模块进行调整。 可以在不针对灯的情况下进行随后的调整，从而允许操作者注意被照亮的被摄体。 对于家庭或零售应用，控制功能可以包括瞄准灯，打开和关闭灯光和调光。 戏剧应用还可以包括斑点大小和颜色的控制。 照明模块也可以作为一组或单独控制。 遥控器内可以定义不同组的灯光，灯光可以是多个组的成员。 该系统还提供存储与特定光（在光或远程内）相关联的一系列命令的能力，以及选择性地执行一系列存储的一系列命令的能力。 存储的定时命令系列的应用可能包括诸如戏剧表演之类的东西。 用于召回单灯或一组灯的单独命令的应用包括家庭使用，其中可以召回诸如“浪漫”，“电视”和“阅读”的照明设置，以及可以召回特定商品展示的设置的零售使用。

Abstract: A plurality of spaced ceiling mounted fixtures or other controllable electrical appliances have radiation detectors mounted within each fixture and wired internally of the fixture to a dimming circuit or to a ballast. The radiation detectors have sensitivity over a wide angle and have elongated plastic radiation conduction rods which extend to or beyond the plane of the lens of the fixture to be located free of shadow effects of reflections of the fixture lens. A flexible end light fiber optics can be used in place of the acrylic rods. A narrow beam radiation transmitter selectively illuminates one of the rods or end light fiber optics without illuminating the others. The dimming circuits or ballasts within the fixtures can be further controlled by external dimmers, occupancy sensors, timeclocks, photosensors and other types of input devices. The radiation detector and ballast can occupy a common housing and share the same power supply and circuit board. The microcontroller for the radiation detector operates with a 4 of 4 voting mode until a valid signal is detected to switch the system to a 3 of 4 voting mode. A novel mounting adaptor for mounting a visible light fiber optic cable is disclosed with the visible light fiber optic cable conducting infrared radiation for up to 24 inches.

Abstract: A handheld electronic apparatus, a remote control method, a home appliance system and a home appliance apparatus are disclosed. The handheld electronic apparatus comprises a network module, an orientation sensor, a touch display and a processor. The network module receives a broadcast packet, which comprises a home appliance orientation and a controllable function of the home appliance apparatus and is outputted from the home appliance apparatus. The orientation sensor provides the remote control orientation of the handheld electronic apparatus. The processor relates the controllable function to a touch gesture of the touch display, and determines whether the home appliance apparatus is a controlled apparatus according to the home appliance orientation and the remote control orientation. When the home appliance apparatus is the controlled apparatus, and the touch display receives the touch gesture, the remote control home appliance apparatus executes the controllable function.
