Embodiment Construction

[0031] The following describes a method for reducing costs in specialized buildings (e.g. for retail) by increasing the flexibility of the system to adapt to the needs of the moment or the needs arising from the analysis of data related to the use of the building System of duration and cost of on-grid initialization and / or re-on-grid initialization of lighting systems. Embodiments enable the creation of groups of luminaires by a store manager via a dedicated user interface based on the spatial formation of one or more groups of detected persons (as determined by an indoor positioning system) and / or based on movable Positioning of store furniture such as shelves, point of sale (POS), etc. is controlled.

[0032] As will be discussed in more detail shortly, an embodiment uses an indoor positioning system (IPS) to detect the location of people in a space (e.g., store, office, hotel) and to detect that one or more groups of people are in a particular area and then automatically c...

Abstract

A method of automatically commissioning a lighting system comprising a plurality of luminaires for illuminating one or more regions within a space. The method comprises: receiving signals from a positioning system, indicating a respective location within the space at which each of a plurality of physical entities is detected by the positioning system, each of the entities being a person or a movable nonhuman object. The method further comprises determining a spatial distribution of at least some of the entities based on the locations indicated by the signals from the positioning system, and determining a region within the space corresponding to this spatial distribution. The method then comprises identifying a group of the luminaires that are arranged to illuminate the determined region and storing identifiers of those luminaires together as a group in a commissioning database.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to controlling light emitted by one or more luminaires into a space such as a retail space or a space used in the hospitality industry. Background technique [0002] Digitally controllable lighting offers more possibilities than functional or simply decorative lighting. The presence of multiple controllable light sources in the same room or area makes it possible to create lighting effects that are variable in space and time. These lighting effects may include changes in light intensity, colour, color temperature and / or spatial distribution of light (depending on the type of light source and associated drivers available). More and more, lighting is perceived by end-users not only as a functional requirement but also as something to be used to create a mood or atmosphere in a given space. [0003] For example, atmosphere creation can be beneficial to retailers. For example, an appropriate lighting mood in a physical sto...
