Adaptive outdoor lighting control system based on user behavior
First Claim
1. A light management system for an outdoor lighting network system, comprising:
- a plurality of outdoor light units wherein at least one light unit includes at least one sensor type;
a central management system in communication with light units, said central management system sends control commands to one or more of said outdoor light units, in response to received outdoor light unit status/sensor information from one or more of said outdoor light units and implement a lighting strategy relating to the lighting characteristics of the plurality of outdoor light units;
wherein the central management system uses the light unit status/sensor information to determine a current user'"'"'s behavior, wherein the central management system stores history information relating to user behavior, relating to at least one of the plurality of outdoor light units, that includes at least two or more of dimming schedule, user speed, ambient light level, traffic volume and weather status, based on date and time, and determining the current user'"'"'s behavior based on a deviation to the stored history information, wherein determining the current user'"'"'s behavior includes determining a current user deviation in user-controlled light level to the stored history information, and determine whether to modify the lighting strategy.

Abstract
The invention provides A light management system for an outdoor lighting network system, comprising a plurality of outdoor light units wherein at least one light unit includes at least one sensor type, a central management system in communication with light units, said central management system sends control commands to one or more of said outdoor light units, in response to received outdoor light unit status/sensor information from one or more of said outdoor light units and implement a lighting strategy relating to the lighting characteristics of the plurality of outdoor light units, wherein the central management system uses the light unit status/sensor information to form a user'"'"'s behavior analyses, and determine or estimate or predict the user'"'"'s motion trajectory and/or position and a change in a user-controlled light use and/or ambient light, and determine whether to modify the lighting strategy and/or reconfigure one or more of the lights units.

9. A method of light management for outdoor lighting network system, the outdoor lighting network having a plurality of outdoor light units wherein at least one light unit includes at least one sensor type, and a central management system in communication with the outdoor light units, the method comprising the steps of:
-
receiving, in the central management system, status/sensor information from the at least one sensor type; storing, in the central management system using the status/sensor information, history information relating to user behavior, relating at least one of the plurality of outdoor light units, that includes at least two or more of dimming schedule, user speed, ambient light level, traffic volume and weather status, based on date and time; determining a current user'"'"'s behavior based on a deviation to the stored history information, wherein determining the current user'"'"'s behavior includes determining a current user deviation in user-controlled light level to the stored history information; determining whether to modify the lighting strategy based on the user behavior. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
