Abstract: A lighting system utilizes intelligent system elements, such as lighting devices, user interfaces for lighting control or the like and possibly sensors. The system also has a data communication network. Some number of the intelligent lighting system elements, including at least two of the lighting devices, also support wireless communication with other non-lighting-system devices at the premises. Each such element has a communication interface system configured to provide a relatively short range, low power wireless data communication link for use by other non-lighting-system devices at the premises in proximity to the respective intelligent system element. Also, in such an element, the processor is configured to control communications via the communication interface system so as to provide access to the data network and through the data network to the wide area network outside the premises for non-lighting related communications of the other non-lighting-system devices.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A system with a machine and a lighting device. The machine includes an image capture device and a machine vision processing system configured to detect a characteristic of a subject in a space for an operation of the machine. The lighting device includes a first light source for generating light to illuminate the space, and a second light source for generating light of a particular wavelength to support detection of the characteristic of the subject via the machine vision processing system. The light of the particular wavelength is output at a sufficient intensity reasonably expected to produce a particular emission from the subject detectable via the image capture device different from an emission produced by exposure of the subject to the light for illumination of the space. The first and second light sources are integrated into the lighting device.

Abstract: A lighting device includes a first light source configured to generate light for illumination of a space and a second light source configured to generate light of a particular wavelength independently from the first light source. The light generated by the second light source is output at a sufficient intensity so as to reasonably expect to support an intended benefit other than illumination of the space. The first light source and the second light source are integrated into the same lighting device. The lighting device includes an optical element coupled to the first and second light sources that is configured to produce a light output of the lighting device. The lighting device outputs the light for illumination of the space and the light of the particular wavelength for the other intended benefit from the second light source via the same output of the lighting device.

Abstract: An example of a building automation system utilizes intelligent system elements, some of which are lighting devices having light sources, and some of which are utility building control and automation elements. Some utility building control and automation elements include a controllable mechanism for use in control of some aspect of the building other than lighting. Another intelligent system element may include either a user interface component and be configured as a building controller, or include a detector and be configured as a sensor. Each intelligent system element includes a network communication interface, processor, memory and programming to configure the intelligent system element as a lighting device, utility building control and automation element, controller or sensor. At least one of the intelligent lighting devices is configured as a building control and automation system server. Several examples, however, implement the overall control using distributed processing.

Abstract: An application running on a mobile device presents information about a lighting product, for example, selected from a catalog on a graphical user interface via one or more elements (e.g. a touchscreen) of the mobile device and captures an identification of the selected product. The user interface includes a user selectable indication of a lighting design tool, e.g. a button, icon or other link to the tool. User selection of the tool indicator initiates access to the lighting design tool; and the application passes the identification of the selected product to the lighting design tool. The lighting design tool processes the identification of the selected product and an output of the lighting design tool is presented based in part on photometric information about the selected product automatically retrieved by and populated to the lighting design tool without further manual input to obtain the photometric information about the selected product.

Abstract: An example of a lighting system includes intelligent lighting devices, each of which includes a light source, a communication interface and a processor coupled to control the light source. In such a system, at least one of the lighting devices includes a user input sensor to detect user activity related to user inputs without requiring physical contact of the user; and at least one of the lighting devices includes an output component to provide information output to the user. One or more of the processors in the intelligent lighting devices are further configured to process user inputs detected by the user input sensor, control lighting and control output to a user via the output component so as to implement an interactive user interface for the system, for example, to facilitate user control of lighting operations of the system and/or to act as a user interface portal for other services.

Abstract: An exemplary lighting system utilizes intelligent system elements, such as lighting devices, user interfaces for lighting control or the like and possibly sensors, and utilizes network communication amongst such intelligent system elements. Some processing functions performed within the system are implemented on a distributed processing basis, by two or more of the intelligent elements of the lighting system. Distributed processing, for example, may enable use of available processor and/or memory resources of a number of intelligent system elements to process a particular job. Another distributed processing approach might entail programming to configure two or more of the intelligent system elements to implement multiple instances of a server functionality with respect to client functionalities implemented on intelligent system elements.
