Apparatus and methods for activatable lighting devices
First Claim
1. A computing device, comprising:
- one or more processors;
a communication interface coupled with the one or more processors; and
memory to store instructions that, in response to execution of the instructions by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to;
ascertain, based at least in part on a database of one or more lighting device records associated with one or more lighting devices of a lighting system, a composition of the lighting system;
determine, based on the ascertained composition, that a predetermined criterion is satisfied; and
issue, via the communication interface in response to the determination, a communication configured to facilitate activation of a deactivated lighting device function of a lighting device associated with the lighting system, wherein the deactivated lighting device function is a routine or state machine that is built into the lighting device, but that is not performable until activated.

Abstract
Methods, apparatus and computing devices are described herein for activatable lighting devices. In various embodiments, a composition of a lighting system may be ascertained based at least in part on a database (851, 951) of one or more lighting device records associated with one or more lighting devices (100, 600, 700, 800a, 800b, 900, 1000a, 1000b, 1000c) of the lighting system. In various embodiments, it may be determined, based on the ascertained composition, that a predetermined criterion is satisfied. In various embodiments, a communication may be issued in response to the determination. The communication may be configured to facilitate activation of a deactivated lighting device function of a lighting device associated with the lighting system.
