Learning luminaire, and a learning control device for a luminaire, using fuzzy logic
First Claim
1. A control device of a luminaire comprisinga controller for controlling operation of the luminaire, the controller preprogrammed to make the luminaire assume a certain target lighting level as a response to a triggering local input signal,a communications module for wireless communication with other devices, the communications module configured to receive indication messages from the other devices, andan adaptation module for adjusting the operation of the controller in accordance with received indication messages;
- wherein the adaptation module is configured todetermine a relationship strength, pertinent to a particular other device and indicative of regularity at which triggering local input signals have been observed after first receiving an indication message from said other device, andreprogram the controller to make the luminaire assume a preparatory lighting level as a response to receiving a further indication message from said other device, the preparatory lighting level being dependent on the determined relationship strength.

Abstract
A control device of a luminaire includes a controller for controlling operation of the luminaire, which assumes a certain target lighting level as a response to a triggering local input signal. Through a communications module the device is configured to receive indication messages from the other devices. An adaptation module adjusts the operation of the control means in accordance with received indication messages. A relationship strength is determined, pertinent to a particular other device and indicative of regularity at which triggering local input signals have been observed after first receiving an indication message from said other device. The controller is reprogrammed to make the luminaire assume a preparatory lighting level as a response to receiving an indication message from said other device, the preparatory lighting level being dependent on the determined relationship strength.

9. A method for operating a control device of a luminaire, comprising
determining a relationship strength, pertinent to a particular other device and indicative of historical regularity at which triggering local input signals have been observed after first receiving an indication message from said other device, and reprogramming a controller contained in said control device to make the luminaire assume a preparatory lighting level as a response to receiving a further indication message from said other device, the preparatory lighting level being dependent on the determined relationship strength.

14. A non-transitory memory storing a computer program for operating a control device of a luminaire, the computer program including one or more sequences of one or more instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause the control device to at least perform the following:
-
determining a relationship strength, pertinent to a particular other device and indicative of historical regularity at which triggering local input signals have been observed after first receiving an indication message from said other device, and reprogramming a controller contained in said control device to make the luminaire assume a preparatory lighting level as a response to receiving a further indication message from said other device, the preparatory lighting level being dependent on the determined relationship strength.
