Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of age-friendly equipment and home renovation technology, and in particular to a low-sensitivity automated ambient lighting adjustment method and system. Background Technology

[0002] The lighting environment has a significant impact on the health and safety of the elderly. Due to limitations in physical ability and cognitive capacity, older adults often exhibit a reluctance and distrust towards unfamiliar environments. Furthermore, they may struggle to adjust their surroundings, have difficulty expressing themselves, and are unwilling to trouble others. Consequently, older adults often sacrifice some convenience to maintain a relatively fixed daily environment, minimizing the need for adjustments.

[0003] For example, some elderly people choose not to turn on the lights when getting up at night because they are far from the light control switches or they don't want to disturb others, which sometimes leads to falls and other accidental injuries. Some elderly people may also experience various inconveniences when controlling lighting in their homes, such as improperly placed light control switches, or light source brightness and color temperature parameters that are not suitable for the usage scenario. This causes them to habitually abandon some lighting points or set others to always-on state, preventing the lighting equipment from functioning fully or excessively extending its lifespan, and making it difficult to adjust it to the optimal environmental conditions for the elderly.

[0004] To address similar issues, existing technologies have explored various approaches. For example, by deploying infrared human body sensors, human body feedback can be used as control signals for regional light sources, achieving relatively automated lighting control. Additionally, voice interaction control allows users to control light source on / off states, brightness, and color temperature using natural language, thus avoiding excessive adjustment options that could hinder user experience.

[0005] However, current technologies still lack targeted solutions for the specific group of elderly people, presenting various difficulties for them to use. For example, because the elderly generally walk slower, the conventional calibration of infrared human body sensors may result in repeated human recognition, leading to incorrect light delay configurations. Moreover, the sensing distance of infrared human body sensors cannot be precisely controlled, often failing to accurately identify the elderly person's movement intentions in indoor home scenarios, resulting in inaccurate light source control. As for voice interaction, users often need to use a few fixed control words to activate the system, requiring the elderly to memorize them, which incurs a high learning cost. Furthermore, the elderly's accents and inaccurate pronunciation can easily lead to misrecognition, resulting in a less than satisfactory user experience.

[0006] In summary, existing technologies lack specific methods for optimizing the home environment for the elderly, particularly lacking targeted solutions for frequent daily adjustments such as lighting sources. Summary of the Invention

[0007] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention proposes a low-perception automated ambient lighting adjustment method and system. Based on data collected from the pressure generated by elderly people's walking and movement, combined with the system clock and the elderly people's learning records of their living habits, the system comprehensively judges the elderly people's action intentions and behavioral objectives, and then automatically adjusts the light source switch and lighting parameters accordingly. This eliminates the need for the elderly people to actively intervene in the ambient light adjustment process, minimizing their perception of the ambient light adjustment and providing the best ambient light effect in a natural and gentle manner.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention includes:

[0010] S1. Configure at least one preset lighting strategy set, wherein the preset lighting strategy set includes at least a light source switch control strategy;

[0011] S2. Set at least one set of triggering conditions to match the preset lighting strategy set. The set of triggering conditions includes fixed-point pressure conditions and / or displacement pressure conditions, and also includes at least one auxiliary condition.

[0012] S3. Receive feedback signal and determine whether the feedback signal satisfies any set of triggering conditions.

[0013] S4. When the feedback signal satisfies any specific trigger condition set, further determine whether the current ambient lighting state matches the preset lighting strategy set corresponding to the specific trigger condition set. When the current ambient lighting state matches the preset lighting strategy set corresponding to the specific trigger condition set, keep the current ambient lighting state unchanged.

[0014] S5. When it is determined that the current ambient lighting state does not match the preset lighting strategy set corresponding to a specific trigger condition set, the ambient lighting state is adjusted according to the preset lighting strategy set.

[0015] Furthermore, the preset lighting strategy set also includes any one or more combinations of light source brightness strategy, light source color temperature strategy, light source delay strategy, and adjustment feedback strategy.

[0016] Furthermore, the auxiliary conditions include date range conditions, time range conditions, and vital sign indicator conditions.

[0017] Furthermore, the feedback signal includes a pressure sensor signal, and also includes any one or more of a date signal, a time signal, and a vital sign detection signal.

[0018] Furthermore, step S4 also includes:

[0019] When the feedback signal satisfies multiple different trigger condition sets at the same time, it is further determined whether there is a conflict between the preset lighting strategy sets corresponding to the different trigger condition sets.

[0020] When it is determined that there is no conflict between the preset lighting strategy sets corresponding to different trigger condition sets, the preset lighting strategy sets are combined as the preset lighting strategy set corresponding to the specific trigger condition set.

[0021] Furthermore, step S4 also includes:

[0022] When it is determined that there is a conflict between the preset lighting strategy sets corresponding to different trigger condition sets, the lighting range of each preset lighting strategy set is identified and the union is taken as the preset lighting strategy set corresponding to the specific trigger condition set.

[0023] The present invention also relates to a low-sensitivity automated ambient lighting adjustment system, characterized in that it comprises:

[0028] The lighting adjustment execution module is used to adjust the ambient lighting status according to a preset lighting strategy set.

[0029] The present invention also relates to a computer-readable storage medium, characterized in that the storage medium stores a computer program, which, when executed by a processor, implements the above-described method.

[0030] The present invention also relates to an electronic device, characterized in that it includes a processor and a memory;

[0031] The memory is used to store a set of preset lighting strategies and a set of trigger conditions;

[0032] The processor is used to execute the above method by invoking a preset lighting strategy set and a trigger condition set.

[0033] The present invention also relates to a computer program product, including a computer program and / or instructions, characterized in that the computer program and / or instructions, when executed by a processor, implement the steps of the above-described method.

[0034] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0035] The low-perception automated ambient lighting adjustment method and system described in this invention is based on the pressure data collected from the elderly's walking and moving, combined with the system clock and the elderly's learning records of living habits, to comprehensively judge the elderly's action intentions and behavioral purposes, and then automatically adjust the light source switch and lighting parameters accordingly. This makes the ambient light adjustment process unnecessary for the elderly to actively intervene, minimizing the elderly's perception of ambient light adjustment, and providing the best ambient light effect in a natural and gentle way.

[0036] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the low-sensitivity automated ambient lighting adjustment method of the present invention.

[0037] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the low-sensitivity automated ambient lighting adjustment system of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0038] To better understand the content of this invention, it will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0039] The first aspect of this invention relates to a process flow as follows: Figure 1 The low-sensitivity automated ambient lighting adjustment method shown includes:

[0040] S1. Configure at least one preset lighting strategy set. The preset lighting strategy set includes at least a light source switch control strategy, and may also preferably include a combination of light source brightness strategy, light source color temperature strategy, light source delay strategy, adjustment feedback strategy, etc., to further control the specific lighting effect after the light source is turned on. It can also be used as a standard to judge the elderly person's location and behavior based on the specific lighting strategy that can be triggered and adjusted, and then feedback can be given to perform other operations, such as turning on a camera in a specific location (such as a corridor) to check the elderly person's movement status, playing a specific voice prompt to help the elderly person judge the environmental status and assist the elderly person in operating specific devices, and sending a pre-set prompt message to a designated user, etc.

[0041] For example, a first preset lighting strategy set can be set to turn on the bathroom lighting and the mirror lighting, and adjust the mirror lighting to a warm color range. After the strategy is triggered, the bathroom lighting will be turned on for 5 minutes with a delay.

[0042] S2. Set at least one set of trigger conditions corresponding to the preset lighting strategy set. The set of trigger conditions includes fixed-point pressure conditions and / or displacement pressure conditions, and also includes at least one auxiliary condition. Specifically, the auxiliary conditions include date range conditions, time range conditions, and vital sign index conditions, and may further include other user-specified specific identifiable conditions.

[0043] The fixed-point pressure condition corresponds to the user being in a specific location; the displacement pressure condition corresponds to the user's specific movement trajectory. Preferably, both the fixed-point pressure condition and the displacement pressure condition can be configured with specific details such as trigger delay time and trigger sensing range, and can be optimized according to the actual user's movement characteristics. For example, for elderly people who mainly use wheelchairs or walking aids, a larger trigger range or a longer trigger delay can be set to make the condition settings more suitable for actual use.

[0044] Preferably, the vital signs criteria can be established based on various vital signs data collected by wearable sensors worn by the elderly.

[0045] Preferably, an artificial intelligence model can be trained by collecting data on the daily habits, behaviors, and vital signs of the elderly using methods such as machine learning and neural networks. The trained model can then be used to generate a set of applicable triggering conditions, or the trained model can be used to verify whether the established set of triggering conditions is suitable for the elderly’s lifestyle.

[0046] For example, a first set of triggering conditions corresponding to a first preset lighting strategy set can be set, including a fixed-point pressure condition at a specific location in front of the toilet and a displacement pressure condition for moving towards the toilet, as well as a time range condition from 6 pm to 9 pm.

[0047] S3. Receive feedback signal and determine whether the feedback signal satisfies any set of triggering conditions.

[0048] Specifically, the feedback signal needs to correspond to the specific conditions covered in the trigger condition set, and should at least include a pressure sensor signal to match the fixed-point pressure condition and / or displacement pressure condition. Preferably, the pressure sensor can be integrated or independently installed in the elderly person's activity environment, such as integrated into carpets or floors, so as not to interfere with the elderly person's normal daily activities, while accurately collecting pressure feedback information from the elderly person's activities.

[0049] For example, the system receives a pressure feedback signal from a pressure sensor at a specific location in front of the bathroom, as well as a subsequent pressure feedback signal indicating movement towards the bathroom, and simultaneously obtains the time signal at 19:00.

[0050] S4. When the feedback signal satisfies any specific trigger condition set, further determine whether the current ambient lighting state matches the preset lighting strategy set corresponding to the specific trigger condition set. If the current ambient lighting state matches the preset lighting strategy set corresponding to the specific trigger condition set, keep the current ambient lighting state unchanged. Preferably, while keeping the current ambient lighting state unchanged, only the lighting delay setting can be updated according to the preset lighting strategy set corresponding to the specific trigger condition set.

[0051] Furthermore, when the feedback signal simultaneously satisfies multiple different trigger condition sets, it is further determined whether there are conflicts between the preset lighting strategy sets corresponding to the different trigger condition sets. If there are no conflicts between the preset lighting strategy sets corresponding to the different trigger condition sets, the preset lighting strategy sets are combined into a preset lighting strategy set corresponding to a specific trigger condition set. If there are conflicts between the preset lighting strategy sets corresponding to the different trigger condition sets, the lighting range of each preset lighting strategy set is identified and the union of the two sets is taken as the preset lighting strategy set corresponding to the specific trigger condition set, that is, priority is given to ensuring that the light sources within the range that may need lighting work.

[0052] For example, if the feedback signal matches the first set of triggering conditions, the current ambient lighting status is checked based on the first preset lighting strategy set corresponding to the first set of triggering conditions, and the corresponding operation is performed based on the matching result.

[0053] S5. When it is determined that the current ambient lighting state does not match the preset lighting strategy set corresponding to a specific trigger condition set, the ambient lighting state is adjusted according to the preset lighting strategy set. Preferably, a minimum maintenance time after adjustment of a certain preset lighting strategy set can be specifically set to avoid the lighting range changing too quickly after the subsequent trigger condition set is matched.

[0054] For example, if the current ambient lighting condition does not conform to the first preset lighting strategy set, such as when the bathroom lighting is not turned on, the bathroom lighting will be turned on according to the first preset lighting strategy set.

[0055] Another aspect of the present invention relates to a low-sensitivity automated ambient lighting adjustment system, the structure of which is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, it includes:

[0056] The lighting strategy management module is used to configure and modify preset lighting strategy sets;
