SENSOR NETWORK WITH ADAPTIVE DETECTION SETTINGS BASED ON THE STATUS INFORMATION FROM NEIGHBORING LUMINAIRES AND/OR CONNECTED DEVICES
First Claim
1. A lighting control system comprising:
- at least one light unit 106 including at least one sensor 110; and
a centralized or distributed controller 105 to control the at least one light unit'"'"'s 106 lighting strategy;
a connected device 114 in communication with the controller 105;
wherein the controller 105 receives status information from the connected device 114, wherein the status information includes an indication of an expected flux of objects directed toward the at least one light unit 106, and adjusts the at least one light unit'"'"'s 110 lighting strategy, including a detection threshold of the sensor 110, using the status information.

Abstract
The invention provides a light control system for a lighting network, including a plurality of light units wherein at least one light unit includes at least one sensor type, a distributed/centralized controller/central management system in communication with one or more of the light units, said controller/central management system sends control commands to one or more of said light units, in response to received light unit status/sensor information from one or more of said light units and/or status information from a connected device, and implements a lighting strategy relating to the characteristics of the plurality of light units, wherein the one or more neighboring light units'"'"' sensor type'"'"'s detection threshold are adjusted using a predetermined strategy based on the new lighting strategy of the at least one light unit or the status information from the connected device.
