ILLUMINATION CONTROL SYSTEM
First Claim
1. An illumination control system, comprising:
- at least one LED-based lamp containing a controller for storing a location of the lamp with three-dimensional coordinates or coordinate values of latitude-longitude and height;
a mobile communication device configured to communicate wirelessly with the lamp;
a control program configured to be executed within the lamp or the mobile communication device and to perform illumination control of the lamp based on a distance between the mobile communication and the lamp or a coordinate value calculation.

Abstract
An illumination control system provides wireless data transmission with a lamp through a mobile communication device. The lamp has a built-in wireless communication module and a microcontroller. The microcontroller stores a location of the lamp with latitude-longitude values and height values. Accordingly, a user may use the mobile communication device to read the latitude-longitude values and height values of the lamps to achieve an indoor positioning function by calculating a positioning information of the user through indoor positioning algorithms, and thereby enable illumination control through the mobile communication device according to the positioning information.

16. A method for controlling an illumination system, the illumination system comprising at least one LED-based lamp or light source, the method comprising:
-
obtaining an interior blueprint from an interior designer or an architect, or by measuring an interior blueprint; marking locations of each of the LED light sources in the interior blueprint, a way of marking being completed by obtaining latitude-longitude and height coordinates of outermost four corners of a building through GOOGLE MAP, and interpolatively calculating coordinates of latitude-longitude and height of each of the LED light sources, the LED light sources comprising lamps including ceiling lamps, wall lamps, recessed lamps, a Bluetooth communication module substantially being installed on a lamp device or lamp socket and also being installed in LED light bulbs or light tubes, the lamp device having a plurality of lamps being able to be installed on the lamp device, a set of lamps being dimmed or toned as a whole, and an LED lamp embedded with a Bluetooth module being directly selected for any LED lamp in need of individual dimming or color adjusting; setting required luminance values for the locations of each of the LED light sources based on an illumination design of an interior designer, or a need of an individual or family members, or based on an illumination standard for public areas promulgated by a nation; and writing a setting of a Bluetooth module in each of the LED light sources with coordinates of latitude-longitude and height, default luminance values, and ranges of permissible luminance values, the writing of the setting being processed after directly connecting to each of the Bluetooth modules through an application of the mobile communication device, and also being processed after connecting to each of the Bluetooth modules one by one through a communication gateway.
