Embodiment Construction

[0026] The following describes an example of a lighting system that automatically selects between different control strategies (ie, the user interface of the mobile terminal is mapped to different ways of lighting control), wherein the control strategy is based on determining that the user has typed user input from it Positioning and choosing. As mentioned, positioning may be referred to as position and / or orientation. The positioning may be determined by detecting the positioning of the mobile user terminal, for example, by means of trilateration measurement between anchor nodes of the positioning system; and / or may be determined by detecting the positioning of the user, for example, by means of a time-of-flight based imaging sensor or a presence sensor. Generally, it can be assumed that the location of the mobile terminal is approximately the same as the location of the mobile terminal. Further, if it is assumed that the user always keeps his or her terminal in roughly the s...

Abstract

The disclosure relates to the control of a lighting system illuminating a space such as a room. The controller receives signals from a mobile user terminal, including an indication of a user input entered by a user via an on-screen user interface of the mobile user terminal. The controller is also able to determine a position from which the user input was entered by the user. Further, each of a plurality of discrete control policies is associated with a respective positional demarcation within the space in question, where each control policy defines a respective type of response of the illumination to one or more on-screen elements of the lighting-control user interface. Based on this association, the controller selects one of the control policies associated with the determined position. The controller then controls the lighting system to provide the illumination in accordance with the response defined by the selected control policy.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to the control of a lighting system based on user input entered through an on-screen user interface of a mobile user terminal. Background technique [0002] It is known to be able to remotely control the lights in a room based on input from a mobile user terminal such as a smart phone, a tablet or a laptop computer installed with an appropriate lighting control application. The mobile terminal includes a wireless transceiver capable of communicating with the transceiver of the lighting system, which generally operates based on short-range RF technology such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. The application running on the mobile terminal can therefore send a request to the controller of the lighting system, and assuming that the mobile terminal or the user meets any conditions (if any) that are allowed to control the lighting, the controller generates the corresponding lighting control command to Control the lighting accordingly. For ex...
