Programmable emergency lighting device including near-field communication
First Claim
1. An emergency lighting unit comprising:
- a light source;
an antenna operable to receive a wireless communication signal;
a near-field communication (“
NFC”
) module connected to the antenna, the NFC module operable to write, to a memory, information associated with the wireless communication signal;
a controller connected to the NFC module, the controller configured toread the information associated with the wireless communication signal from the memory,set one or more system parameters of the emergency lighting unit based on the information associated with the wireless communication signal, andcontrol the illumination of the light source based on at least one system parameter based on the information associated with the wireless communication signal.

Abstract
An emergency lighting unit. The emergency lighting unit includes a light source, an antenna, a near-field communication (“NFC”) module, and a controller. The antenna is operable to receive a wireless communication signal. The NFC module is connected to the antenna, and the NFC module is operable to write, to a memory, information associated with the wireless communication signal. The controller is connected to the NFC module. The controller is operable to read the information associated with the wireless communication signal from the memory, set one or more system parameters of the emergency lighting unit based on the information associated with the wireless communication signal, and control the illumination of the light source based on at least one system parameter set based on the information associated with the wireless communication signal.
