Smart phone controlled wireless light bulb
First Claim
1. A wireless lighting system, comprising:
- a housing; and
a wireless light bulb associated with the housing and including at least one light emitting diode (LED),a wireless transceiver,a motion sensor, anda control component,wherein the wireless transceiver is configured to wirelessly communicate with a remote control, wherein the remote control is a cellular phone, and wherein the wireless transceiver is further configured to receive a command signal from the remote control and provide the command signal to the control component, which is configured to manage operation of the at least one LED based on the command signal,wherein the control component is configured to receive a motion indication from the motion sensor; and
wherein the control component is configured to transmit via the wireless transceiver, to the remote control, a signal indicative of a detected motion or proximity of an object.

Abstract
The claimed subject matter provides systems and/or methods that employ a control component integrated in a light bulb to control the light bulb wirelessly. The wireless light bulb can include a light source, a control component that manages operation of the light source, an input component that wirelessly obtains input signals that can be utilized by the control component, and a power source. For instance, the light source can be one or more light emitting diodes (LEDs) and/or the power source can be one or more batteries. Moreover, the input component can receive the input signals (e.g., radio frequency, infrared, . . . ) from a remote control, a sensor, a differing wireless light bulb, a radio frequency identifier (RFID) tag, etc. Further, the wireless light bulb can be mechanically coupled to a lighting fixture, where the lighting fixture may or may not be electrically coupled to an alternating current (AC) power source.
