Description

A remote management device with the possibility of expansion through a variety of additional modules. Field of invention

[0001] This patent application refers to an intelligent device for monitoring and expanding existing communication, data, and electrical power network infrastructure, for example, for controlling public lighting, applied in the field of information technology, more specifically in the area of ​​remote management for the promotion of smart cities; with the aim of diversifying the possibilities of installing devices to expand the Internet of Things connection network, with the advantage of having individual sensors that can be modulated according to the need for use, it allows the easy expansion of the automation of smart cities using products already installed and still in perfect working order, thus avoiding unnecessary disposal and reducing electronic waste pollution.

[0002] With advancements in lighting technology and the adoption of LED technology in public lighting, it has become possible to improve how public lighting is controlled and activated. This incorporates functionalities such as dimming into the activation system, through photocells, resulting in increasingly lower energy consumption. Furthermore, it allows for more intelligent activation, which can be programmed for specific pre-established times. Greater cost control is achieved through the implementation of an energy consumption meter in each lamp, along with improved fault control, aiding in the maintenance of the public lighting system. Fundamentals of the invention

[0003] Currently, there are products on the market that utilize integrated sensors and actuators with endless functionalities, ranging from temperature, noise, humidity and air quality sensors, traffic flow and ambient light sensors, to actuators such as relays for switching luminaires or connected devices, traffic light controllers, visual and audible signaling devices for various purposes, connectivity enablers and much more. These can be found in the luminaires themselves or in appendages connected to them, as well as, more popularly, through photoelectric relays fostered by the wave of remote management.These sensors and actuators offer several benefits, many of which are undeniable in the world of smart cities. They allow for the automatic adjustment of light intensity based on light incidence, pedestrian and vehicle traffic, and add extra functionalities to the public lighting system, enabling more reliable and real-time remote management. These devices are currently interconnected through communication networks based on communication protocols, typically open and commonly used in the Internet of Things (IoT), to connect the luminaires to a control center. This allows for real-time data collection, remote control of the luminaires, scheduling specific times to turn lights on and / or off, adjusting lighting intensity, and finally, identifying areas where lighting can be optimized.

[0004] Current systems have expanded functionalities beyond simply monitoring, dimming, and pricing energy costs for public lighting; through the integration of remote lighting management with other urban systems, such as traffic, security, and environmental monitoring. In addition, they enable the creation of a data network that can be used for numerous purposes.

[0005] Current devices are equipped with either a single function or numerous functions, and it's not possible to reduce or expand their functionality after development. Therefore, when using devices with multiple functionalities, it's common for many of them to end up unused, making it a worthwhile investment. Unnecessary. On the other hand, some devices, with fewer functionalities, do not allow for the expansion of their functionalities to accommodate new responsibilities, requiring the acquisition of new devices which, in turn, will depend on the formation of new networks and new communication standards. In order to prevent and reduce the aforementioned problems, several solutions have been developed to better define the state of the art. Searches were conducted in national and international patent databases, finding the following relevant prior art.

[0006] Searches conducted in Brazilian and international patent databases revealed the following findings.

[0007] The subject of US patent 201862614918 discloses a small cell network device comprising a network module arranged as a gateway to a cellular-based network. The cellular-based network is controlled by a mobile network operator. The small cell network device also includes a light sensor and a processor-based light control circuit arranged to provide a light control signal based on at least one ambient light signal generated by the light sensor. A connector compliant with a road area lighting standard promoted by a standards body is integrated into the small cell network device, which allows the small cell network device to be easily coupled to a street light fixture on a public lighting pole.

[0008] US patent 201862614918 has upper and lower connectors for attaching a light control to the device, but only offers mobile network functionality without the possibility of expanding any other functionality through modules. This device does not provide for other functionalities coupled through modules; it only offers an internal architecture for connecting a photoelectric sensor.

[0009] The subject of US patent 2013040471A1 discloses an interposer adapted to interrupt the power source of a light pole and intervene between an existing photocontroller and the light pole with a lamp connected to a power line, the interposer having a body with a top and a bottom, the top of the body having an electrical receptacle, the bottom of the body having an electrical plug, the body containing a microprocessor and a load switch connected to the main power line and lamp, wherein the microprocessor instructs the load switch to selectively connect and disconnect the power line and the lamp, or to dim a multi-level lighting device.

[0010] Although patent US2013040471A1 reveals a device containing a bottom plug and an top socket in the standard connector configuration for public lighting, this device is only an improved switch capable of controlling the activation of current LED lamps; it is limited to this use only and cannot expand its functionality through additional modules.

[0011] The subject of US patent 11324099B1 discloses a device controlled by a Digital Addressable Lighting Interface (DALI) that is arranged to communicate information according to a DALI protocol and powered by electrical coupling of the controlled device to a DALI bus. The DALI bus is monitored for the start of a DALI communication sequence. During a period of non-communication on the DALI bus, a high-current power supply is electrically coupled to the controlled device via the DALI bus. The high-current power supply provides an initial high-current power signal to the controlled device. Upon detection of any DALI communication sequence on the DALI bus, the high-current power supply is electrically decoupled from the controlled device for a specified period of time. During the specified time period, a storage element is electrically coupled to the controlled device.The storage element provides a second high-current power signal to the controlled device.

[0012] US patent 11324099B1 does not mention the fact that the device uses a superior connector to expand its functions with additional modules. All sensors or actuators are arranged in an external device, pre-installed and without the possibility of expansion, thus increasing the cost and, depending on the region where it is installed, rendering some functions useless.

[0013] The subject of patent PI 1101469-5 describes the present invention as an adapter device for autonomous wireless communication networks located alongside electrical power distribution networks which, according to its characteristics, allows the formation of an adapter device in its own specific mechanical structure and intended to perform the function of a router for autonomous wireless networks based on the IEEE 802.15.4 standard with ZigBee PRO protocol, with a view to enabling, in an extremely practical, safe and precise way, a complete optimization of installation procedures along electrical power distribution networks through the use of existing physical infrastructures for its mechanical support, combined with the formation of a communication medium for smart grids using mesh network technologies with high permeability, expandability and economy.

[0014] Patent PI 1101469-5 presents a device that only performs the function of routing wireless networks, using the socket of a public lighting lamp; this device does not have any other additional function or possibility of expansion through additional modules.

[0015] The subject of patent BR 202017014955-8 is a new compact apparatus for the control and monitoring of public and multi-service luminaires. It applies to luminaires used in public lighting networks, acting as a remote management module within the luminaires. This module controls and monitors the luminaires, performing functions such as switching on, off, and dimming, as well as collecting measurements of power, energy, voltage, current, and luminosity. The proposed apparatus features innovative communication interfaces and resources that allow its deployment without the need for a gateway or concentrator, elements commonly found in existing solutions. The hardware architecture adopted in this apparatus allows the integration of various communication modules with a single internal multi-frequency antenna, designed in a reduced mechanical space, with radiation efficiency and immune to interference from other electronic modules.This device, in addition to being used for control and monitoring of quantities related to public lighting, also has communication interfaces such as BLE and Wi-Fi to perform measurements or other narrowband applications such as sensors, smartphones, tablets, and IP phones.

[0016] Patent BR 202017014955-8 has the disadvantage of requiring the disposal of existing equipment due to the patent's device, and it also lacks the possibility of using additional modules depending on the luminaire's location.

[0017] The subject of patent BR 112021004108-7 contemplates a camera that may have a mounting socket configured to connect to a photodetector switch port of a public lighting fixture to mechanically support a housing, a power supply receiving power from the port, and an optical image sensor and lens arrangement mounted in the camera housing. A camera may have an optical image sensor and lens arrangement, a memory unit to store optical image data, and a microcontroller unit to process optical image data. The camera may use a wireless network communication interface to communicate optical image data, forming a network between similar wireless network communication interfaces of neighboring public lighting pole cameras.

[0018] Patent BR 112021004108-7 presents only one of the numerous possible modules of the invention, which is a device equipped with a camera, thus limiting it to only this functionality; in addition, it does not present a top socket that would allow for future expansions.

[0019] The subject of patent BR 102017008858-8 applies to the area of ​​electrical energy and refers to a Public Lighting Repeater Module (MIPR), which consists of a device that advantageously replaces the photocell used in public lighting. In addition to turning the lamp on and off according to ambient light, the MIPR also allows switching the lamp via remote control or at a programmed time, diagnosing its operating status, and measuring the energy (active and reactive) supplied to the lamp. The MIPR is mounted inside the housing normally used for the public lighting photocell, which allows for simple and quick installation. The MIPR is equipped with a radio transceiver that operates on a wireless mesh network, whose communication protocol (ZigBee) allows transceivers to be added to and removed from the network automatically.

[0020] Patent BR 102017008858-8 discloses a device solely for controlling and monitoring a lamp, with activation control and measurement of energy consumption, limited to this purpose, without the possibility of expanding functionalities through additional modules.

[0021] The object of patent BR 202017022552-1 discloses a remote management device for lighting systems, consisting of a system that can be used in public lighting fixtures, industrial projectors, condominium lighting, and other types of luminaires that use a control system compatible with the proposed system. It is further emphasized that different mounting concepts can be incorporated beyond the concept used in public lighting, thus opening up a range of options for the sector and aiming to provide a complete system composed of controlled luminaires and a command and management center for lighting systems, allowing remote activation, dimming, programming of operating parameters, work profiles, and reading of data such as: electricity consumption, luminosity, temperature, relative humidity, audio, video, among other types of sensing, as well as maintenance and fault alerts, and consists of a standard base or unit.having lower electrical contacts, upper contacts, soldered onto the electronic board, and radio board.

[0022] Patent BR 202017022552-1 is solely for the control and monitoring of a lamp, with activation control and measurement of energy consumption, limited to this purpose, without the possibility of expanding functionalities through additional modules.

[0023] “TELEMANAGEMENT DEVICE WITH EXPANSION POTENTIAL THROUGH A MULTIPLE NUMBER OF ADDITIONAL MODULES”, a modular device for controlling and expanding the telemanagement network for various niches in the smart city and building scenario within the existing infrastructure of communication, data, and electrical power networks, or other networks, through the public lighting network infrastructure, but not limited to this, was developed to overcome the disadvantages, inconveniences, and limitations, through a device with dual connectors: a lower plug containing 7 pins, intended to connect to a luminaire, and an upper socket, also with 7 pins, responsible for interconnecting the device to the pre-existing conventional photoelectric relay (if desired), mediated or not by modules with specific functionalities, provided that the connectorization defined as the basis of the modular architecture described in this invention is respected.With the advantage of leveraging existing photoelectric relay devices, it allows for the installation of modules only in specific units, diversifying and expanding the remote management of a smart city with ease of installation.

[0024] The internal architecture of the device can be best described by interpreting it through its functional blocks, which, in their basic configuration, include the following logical functional blocks: wireless communication functional block; memory functional block; timekeeping functional block; AC / DC power supply functional block; wired communication functional block; electrical quantity measurement functional block; dimming functional block; actuation relay functional block; among other equally important blocks.

[0025] Each logical functional block is not necessarily implemented by a single component, but rather by a circuit which may or may not be summarized in a single integrated circuit. On the other hand, a circuit may be responsible for one or more logical functional blocks. The representation in logical functional blocks facilitates the logical understanding of the device's operation and responsibilities.

[0026] The prior art presents the following problems and technical shortcomings that have been resolved by the present invention, shown below: a. Devices containing only one or a few aggregated functions, not allowing the expansion of their native functionalities, limiting themselves to only controlling public lighting. This is resolved by creating a device with dual connection that allows the insertion of one or multiple modules, each with specific functions to meet initially unforeseen demands; b. Disposal of equipment still in usable condition to be replaced by another device with more functionalities, encouraging the generation of electronic waste. This is resolved by creating a modular device with dual connection and using connectorization standards already widespread in the market, allowing devices already in use to continue operating, adding, in a moderate way, only the desired functionalities through secondary modules; c.Devices that combine multiple functions into a single piece of equipment, making it very complex and expensive, often underutilized. This is solved by creating a modular device with dual connections, to which sensors or actuators can be coupled as needed, making the device more efficient with less investment, while each attached module, responsible only for a limited set of functionalities, maintains its unique simplicity; and d. Current devices have communication circuits linked to power circuits, meaning that when there is an electrical discharge, the entire device suffers damage that affects communication functionality.Solved by separating the AC / DC power supply circuit, which is coupled as an auxiliary circuit; ensuring that even if damage occurs to the device's power input, the central circuit and the attached modules, which are more expensive and difficult to repair, remain isolated, giving the device a longer lifespan and guaranteeing lower maintenance costs; and when using an auxiliary module containing a battery or solar panel, the communication part remains active so that it can report possible malfunctions.

[0027] The inventor, with his vast knowledge in the field of remote management, and following technological advancements, especially regarding the adoption of remote management devices by the Brazilian public lighting market, noticed that the devices initially possessed basic and elementary functionalities such as switching luminaires on and off, dimming luminaires (when dimmable), and measuring a few electrical quantities which, at most, allowed verification of whether the luminaire was actually on or off. As soon as development companies immersed in this universe observed the continuous and growing mobilization of the Brazilian public lighting market, accompanied by the needs... Driven by the demands of smart cities, which clamored for more sensors and actuators with robust systems bringing the entire information flow to life, the market once found itself in a universe of complex, high-cost devices (compared to conventional photoelectric relays), using closed communication protocols and, when not, open protocols but without information sharing. This forced the public lighting market to rely on one supplier or another, without low-level compatibility options (only through APIs in higher software layers) between solutions from different suppliers, and obliged to use devices loaded with functionalities to execute basic functions. From this initial analysis, the inventor began a study listing the most requested functionalities in the context of smart cities, and subsequently, to break down the functionalities into modules to meet specific niches.These modules, in turn, should be interchangeable, allowing for free coupling between them (therefore with low functional dependence between them), and their adoption should be aligned solely and exclusively with the specific needs of the client. Finally, their cost should be aligned not with the device as a whole, but rather with the specific need for more or fewer functionalities.

[0028] Given the initial premises, public infrastructure was observed to be uniformly distributed throughout urban centers, with available energy and accessible to the general public. Based on this study, it was observed that the public lighting infrastructure meets all the above premises and, therefore, any decisions regarding the mechanical and electrical specifications of the device would take into account standards in use in the context of public lighting. It was therefore determined that choosing the ANSI C136.41 standard as the mechanical and electrical connectorization standard, currently in use in the lighting scenario for connecting public luminaires to photoelectric relays, is the most appropriate choice.

[0029] Having emphasized the motivation behind the choice of connector standard and the infrastructure that will be used by the present invention in order to fulfill its objectives, we return to the description of the solution from its mechanics. This invention will have a connector compatible with the ANSI C136.41 standard to connect to the lighting infrastructure, whether connected directly to the luminaire, in the case of LED luminaires, or connected to the luminaire ballasts, in the case of metal halide luminaires. The most widely used connector standard in the context of public lighting is the ANSI C136.10 standard, while for more modern luminaires which include in their driver a circuit that allows dimming of the LEDs using the ANSI136 standard.41, standing out for being a more modern standard that carries 4 auxiliary pins, 2 of which are specifically intended for dimming (communication between the photoelectric relay and the LED luminaire driver) and 2 for complementary Smart City services that are not mandatory and that normally remain unconnected internally due to a lack of standardization in their use. The present invention began by exploring the use of these two auxiliary pins in conjunction with the 2 dimming pins already mentioned.

[0030] Aligned with the category of IoT (Internet of Things) devices, this device presents a unique approach. Unlike many IoT devices specifically designed for sensing or actuation and restricted to their respective niches, this invention innovates by adopting a versatile approach geared towards the context of Smart Cities. Its central objective is not limited to a specific application, but rather aims to serve as a facilitating platform for the integration of various sensors and / or actuators, regardless of their respective intrinsic intelligence. This disruptive characteristic stands out as innovative, providing flexibility and adaptability to urban scenarios.Its ability to couple sensors and / or actuators in a modular way, together with a carefully chosen connectorization proposal (mechanical and electrical combination) from current standards, ensures that this invention can be used in the context of any city without the need to modify the existing infrastructure. On the contrary, as a higher-value asset, the present proposal offers a solution for improving infrastructure, expanding its functional capabilities and extending the functional lifespan of assets already in use in urban centers.

[0031] The selection of the connectorization standard, both mechanical and electrical, for use in the present invention was chosen from among current standards and based on crucial considerations, which include: a1. Homogeneity in Urban Coverage: the present invention seeks to ensure uniform availability throughout the urban landscape, eliminating shadow areas in its coverage. This approach ensures that sensors and / or actuators connected to the device operate without concerns regarding coverage availability in a comprehensive and effective manner. a2. Compatibility with Urban Infrastructure: both mechanically and electrically, the device is designed to be fully compatible with the power sources available and in use in urban centers. As an electronic device, its functionality depends on a reliable power source.Therefore, the present invention must ensure a uniform form of connection for power supply, as well as ensure that any quantity of this resource used by this device (main module) can be measured for billing purposes by the responsible utility company. a3. Priority in Urban Governance: the strategic disposition of the present invention is primarily aimed at supporting governance initiatives in cities. Any choice related to the device must consider resources accessible to the general public, including in the form of services.

[0032] Once the minimum functionalities necessary for the realization of the present invention were defined, extra functionalities were added that add value to the solution. These, in turn, are not essential for its conception, but were revealed so that we have a complete understanding of the functional scope and the limits proposed herein. Following the functional definitions, we proceed to the hardware definition, presenting the proposed functional logic modules for the realization of the functions, not only focusing on the minimum modules, but also exposing additional modules which explore the limits of the invention.

[0033] A fundamental part of this invention is the issue of modularization, a capability that only becomes feasible based on certain definitions, which will be gradually introduced in this invention description and further described in the following paragraphs.

[0034] For modularization to occur, some premises must be considered, namely: b1. Standardization of the physical and communication connection of the main module, regardless of the number of secondary modules connected to it; b2. Standardization of the physical and communication connections of the secondary modules, regardless of their respective functionalities; and b3. Standardization of the communication protocol, which must guarantee modular independence, functional independence of the secondary modules, while ensuring data transmission and signaling between the modules to maintain communication availability.

[0035] The standardization of the physical connection, already mentioned earlier in this document, is achieved through the adoption of the ANSI C136.41 standard. However, this standard does not fully define the communication model that will be used and which will utilize its respective auxiliary pins.

[0036] The communication model originates from the mechanical definition and proceeds to other definitions, usually the electrical definition coming next. It is valid to state that the mechanical elements define some limits for the other definitions that will fully compose the model. The present invention initiates this discussion by adopting the ANSI C136.41 standard, thus limiting all subsequent standards to wired connections. Brief description of the drawings

Description of the invention

[0038] To aid in visualizing the proposed definitions, as shown in Figure 6, a comparison is made with the OSI (Open System Interconnection) model, adopted as a comparative model for all communication standards. In this context, the mechanical and electrical standards are defined, according to the OSI model, as belonging to the Physical Layer, the lowest layer of the model.

[0039] The OSI model is the first standard model for communication between computer systems and networks, using seven layers to ensure this communication. Most companies in the computer and telecommunications fields adopted it in the early 1980s. From then on, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) transformed it into the main reference in...

[0040] The OSI model proposes the separation of a communication standard into different layers according to their responsibilities within the communication context. The lowest layer, starting at level 1, pertains to physical elements, while the highest layer is related to the application and is far more abstract than the lower-level layers. This proposed separation not only aids in understanding the communication but also allows for the use of different standards to address different responsibilities. The present invention stands out for its multiple capillarity of sensors and actuators geared towards the scope of smart cities. Considering the main aspect of the invention, in which the different sensors and actuators will be largely the responsibility of the secondary modules, it is extremely important that the communication model between the N secondary modules and the main module can meet this demand.

[0041] The standard to be adopted should contain physical elements rooted in one of the aspects of smart cities (public lighting) but without losing the dynamism whose focus will be much broader. As explained at the beginning of this document, while the application layers should be generic in order to meet a much broader scope defined by the more diverse purposes within the scope of smart cities. Therefore, it is clear that the present proposal will present different standards in order to define a single model that allows achieving the central objective of the invention.

[0042] Application layer (7) - This is the only layer that interacts directly with user data. Application software, such as web browsers and email clients, depend on the application layer to initiate communications. But it is important to clarify that client application software is not part of the application layer (7), which is actually responsible for the protocols and data handling that the software relies on to present meaningful data to the user.

[0043] Presentation Layer (6) - This layer is primarily responsible for preparing the data so that it can be used by the application layer; in other words, the presentation layer (6) makes the data presentable for applications to consume. The presentation layer (6) is responsible for translating, encrypting, and compressing the data.

[0044] Two communicating devices may use different encoding methods; therefore, the presentation layer (6) is responsible for translating the input data into a syntax that the application layer (7) of the receiving device can understand.

[0045] If the devices communicate via an encrypted connection, the presentation layer (6) will be responsible for adding encryption at the sender end and decrypting encryption at the receiver end, thus being able to present unencrypted and readable data to the application layer (7).

[0046] Finally, the presentation layer (6) is also responsible for compressing the data received from the application layer before delivering it to the session layer (5). This helps to increase the speed and efficiency of communication by minimizing the amount of data that will be transferred.

[0047] Session Layer (5) - This layer is responsible for opening and closing communication between the two devices. The time elapsed between when communication is opened and closed is known as a "session". The session layer (5) ensures that the session remains open for the time necessary to transfer all the data being exchanged and then immediately closes the session to avoid wasting resources.

[0048] The session layer (5) also synchronizes data transfer with checkpoints. For example, if a 100 megabyte file is being transferred, the session layer (5) could set a checkpoint every 5 megabytes. In the event of a disconnection or failure after transferring 52 megabytes, the session can be resumed from the last checkpoint, meaning that only another 50 megabytes of data need to be transferred. Without checkpoints, the entire transfer would have to start again from scratch.

[0049] The Transport Layer (4) is responsible for end-to-end communication between the two devices. This includes taking data from the session layer (5) and dividing it into portions called segments before sending it to the network layer (3). The transport layer (4) on the receiving device is responsible for reassembling the segments into data that the session layer (5) can consume.

[0050] The transport layer (4) is also responsible for flow control and error control. Flow control determines an ideal transmission speed to ensure that a sender with a fast connection does not overload a receiver with a slow connection. The transport layer (4) performs error control on the receiver side, ensuring that the received data is complete and requesting a retransmission if it is not.

[0051] Transport layer protocols include the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and the User Datagram Protocol (UDP).

[0052] The Network Layer (3) is responsible for facilitating the transfer of data between two different networks. If the two communicating devices are on the same network, the network layer (3) will be unnecessary. The network layer (3) divides the segments of the transport layer (4) into smaller units called packets on the sending device and reassembles these packets on the receiving device. The network layer (3) also finds the best physical path for the data to reach its destination, which is known as routing.

[0053] The network layer protocols (3) include IP, Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP), Internet Group Message Protocol (IGMP) and the IPsec suite.

[0054] The data link layer (2) is very similar to the network layer (3), except that the data link layer (2) facilitates the transfer of data between two devices on the same network. The data link layer (2) takes packets from the network layer (3) and divides them into smaller pieces called "frames". Like the network layer (3), the data link layer (2) is also responsible for flow control and error control in intra-network communication (the transport layer (4) performs flow control and error control for inter-network communication).

[0055] The Physical Layer (1) includes the physical equipment involved in data transfer, such as cables and switches. This is also the layer where data is converted into a bit stream, which is a sequence of ls and 0s. The physical layer (1) of both devices also needs to accept, by mutual agreement, a sign convention so that ls can be distinguished from 0s in both devices.

[0056] The solution and its commitment to existing communication models:

[0057] The present invention, while constantly reinforcing throughout its description the importance of communication between the secondary modules (SM) and the main module (MM), aside from the commitment to adapt to the physical connectors existing in the universe of public lighting, will not advocate for one model or another, but will provide an example of suggestive models for adoption.

[0058] There will be physically available 3 (three) pins for all communication, with 1 (one) of them having a dedicated responsibility, while the other 2 (two) can be used according to the choice of the Data Link layer standard (OSI model). The pins intended for communication from the main module are: I. The reference signal pin, responsible for matching the other communication signals between the different modules. In the main module, it is identified in Figure 6 from the 7-pin female connector (20), which is the REF socket connector (24). In the secondary modules, it is identified in Figures 7, 11, 13 to 17 from the 7-pin female connector (20), which is the REF socket connector (24), and from the 7-pin male connector (30), which is the REF socket connector (34); II.

[0059] It is worth noting that once a model is adopted, it can hardly be changed, since alterations could compromise one of the most important and valuable characteristics of the solution: compatibility. Any changes, if made, should prioritize the layers above the OSI model, maintaining standardization and allowing for the model's expansion to cover solutions implemented by secondary modules (SM) not yet foreseen.

[0060] Standards such as RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 can be suggested as standards to be adopted, provided that the central responsibility of the main module (MP) is preserved as the one that will manage the entire information flow. In terms of protocols, the name MASTER is usually assigned to the entity responsible for managing the other modules connected in a communication channel in such a way that it is responsible for organizing all information traffic.

[0061] Since the number of resources (connectors) is limited, it is extremely important that the data flow is regulated. The "Master" element will be responsible for managing the flow, while the other devices, called "Slaves," will only communicate based on instructions from the Master device, also known as the main module (MP). As exemplified in the figure below.

[0062] The main module (MP), within its responsibilities for maintaining communication, will be responsible for: c1. Recognizing the secondary modules (MS) connected to it; receiving information from the secondary modules (MS) and forwarding it to the internet, according to the instructions of the secondary module (MS) itself or according to definitions configured in the main module (MP); c2. Receiving information from the internet and forwarding it to the secondary module(s) (MP), according to instructions contained in the packet received from the internet and / or pre-configured in the main module (MP).

[0063] Among the information exchanged, the following are expected: d1. Information obtained from the sensors contained in the secondary modules (SM); d2. Information obtained from the actuators contained in the secondary modules (SM); d3. Configuration information of the secondary modules (SM); and d4. Signaling information used to maintain communication between the main module (MM) and the different secondary modules (SM).

Examples of embodiments of the invention

[0068] Naturally, the present device contemplated by the invention has an ANSI C136.41 (male) connector on its underside, thus automatically making it compatible with the two widely used connector standards in the lighting market: ANSI C136.10 and ANSI C136.41. This allows the device to be coupled to any luminaire. The final decision regarding which of the two options to use is justified by the fact that the present invention will utilize the auxiliary pins provided solely by the connector defined in the ANSI C136.41 standard. It is worth noting that applying the device with its ANSI C136.41 (male) connector to a luminaire with an ANSI C136.10 (female) standard will not prevent its correct operation, but will restrict its functionality.

[0069] Assuming, therefore, that the present device will be inserted into the connector provided on the luminaire for the photoelectric relay, certain safeguards must be provided to ensure that, when using the public lighting infrastructure as a means of standardizing the application of the present invention in urban centers, the public lighting service is not affected. The device must provide a way for the conventional photoelectric relay (equipped with the ANSI C 136.10 connector) to be inserted into the assembly; and the device must allow a means for the conventional relay, if inserted into the assembly, to maintain its functionality in controlling the luminaire.

[0070] These rules not only establish the basic and fundamental guidelines for non-interference with the infrastructure, but also provide us with mechanical and electrical requirements that guide the development of the invention.

[0071] This device offers a second interface for physical connection, which is one of its differentiating features compared to most other existing solutions that utilize public lighting infrastructure. Among those that also have two or more interfaces, this one stands out due to the purpose of its second interface, which is responsible for connecting sensor and actuator modules. Like the interface used to power the device from the luminaire circuit, the second interface will also follow the ANSI C136.41 standard, but will be female. This second socket will be called the module connection socket and will be female so that sensors and / or actuators already in use, such as the photoelectric relay (RF) mentioned earlier, can be connected to it without requiring modifications.

[0072] The current standard for photoelectric relays (PR) is used as a reference for defining the mechanical elements related to the device body, when applicable. The standard in question, ABNT NBR 5123, defines the requirements for the operation of the photoelectric relay and was used to ensure greater compatibility of the device with luminaires and photoelectric relays already in use. Although this standard does not directly reference the present invention, its definitions include elements already employed in the public lighting market that have proven efficient, thus contributing to the quality and usability of any device used in a similar context.

[0073] Secondary modules (SM) must necessarily be coupled together with a main module (MM).

[0088] This feature describes an automatic control mechanism for the electrical power consumed by an assembly consisting of a light fixture and additional modules connected to said device.

[0089] The remote management device in question has native capability to measure the power consumed by the luminaire (LE) to which it is coupled, as well as the auxiliary modules connected to the ANSI C136.41 Female type C connector (20), using its internal energy meter (103); it also has the capability to control the power level of the luminaire by dimming via the REF pins (34), in the DIM- function and VCC (35) in the DIM+ function present in the ANSI C136.41 Male type C connector (30).

[0090] The functionality aims to allow the software embedded in the device to autonomously and adaptively adjust the power consumed by the luminaire (LE) in order to compensate for the consumption of the connected secondary modules (MS), keeping the total consumption of the assembly within pre-configured limits or operating according to energy efficiency criteria.

[0091] When activated, the functionality performs the following steps: e1. Real-time reading of the total power consumed by the assembly (luminaire + modules) through the energy meter (103); e2. Identification of the power consumed individually by the modules connected via the Female connector (20), based on known consumption profiles or dynamic reading; e3. Calculation of the remaining power available for the luminaire (LE), considering the total value allowed or configured for the assembly; and e4. Automatic adjustment of the dimming level of the luminaire (LE) via analog or digital output on the REF pin (34), in the DIM- function and VCC pin (35) in the DIM+ function, in order to adapt the consumption of the luminaire (LE) to the remaining value.

[0092] This control is performed cyclically, allowing continuous adaptation to load changes, faults, or module disconnections.

[0093] The functionality can be activated or deactivated via software parameters or by remote command sent by a supervisory system (e.g., centralized remote management platform), allowing its use only in scenarios where the goal is to maximize energy efficiency or avoid overloads.

[0094] The application features adaptive energy efficiency based on real-time measurements. It is compatible with various add-on module profiles, such as environmental sensors, communication modules, cameras, or embedded processors. It reduces the complexity of manual configuration with automatic dimming curve adjustment. It performs integration. Transparent to existing hardware, using exclusively the elements already provided in the ANSI C136.41 connectors and the energy meter.

[0095] Some advantages of the application include ensuring automatic energy consumption control independent of the calibration and quality of the luminaire. It allows for optimization of the lighting level according to the available power in real time. It prevents overload and ensures continuous operability of the connected modules without manual intervention. It is compatible with the standard ANSI C136.41 connector infrastructure, without the need for physical adaptation. It has functionality fully embedded in software, without requiring additional hardware. Technical Description of the Induction Power Supply Functionality with Energy Storage and Isolation from the Electrical Grid

[0096] According to Figure 20, the present functionality refers to an optional variant of electrical power supply architecture for remote management devices for luminaires and auxiliary modules, as represented by the secondary modules (SM) in Figure 8. More specifically, it is a power supply structure based on magnetic induction associated with an internal energy storage mechanism (supercapacitor and / or battery), aiming to improve insulation against power grid weather and operational continuity during critical moments.

[0097] Conventional remote management systems are powered directly by the electrical grid to which they are connected, making them vulnerable to line noise, voltage surges, aggressive switching, and transient variations. Such events can damage or compromise the continuous operation of the device, especially in urban environments with high electromagnetic interference. Furthermore, the momentary loss of power during the switching of internal relays prevents the execution of critical functions such as sending fault alerts.

[0098] This feature introduces to the remote management device the ability to operate with a magnetic induction-based power supply, replacing (or complementing) the conventional power supply connected directly to the electrical grid. The method consists of capturing energy via inductive coupling, ensuring complete galvanic isolation from the grid.

[0099] As a mandatory architectural consequence, the functionality incorporates an internal storage module based on a supercapacitor and / or rechargeable battery, in order to maintain the device's operation during momentary interruptions, such as the switching of internal relays. This storage ensures that the device has sufficient operating time to register events and perform communications, even if its remaining energy is completely consumed in this process, subsequently resulting in a shutdown.

[0100] Additionally, the adoption of an inductive energy measurement topology is included, ensuring that the internal energy meter remains isolated from the electrical grid, preventing noise or surges on the line from affecting its integrity.

[0101] The remote management device, according to the present functional variant, further comprises: f1. An induction power supply, based on magnetic coupling, which supplies power to the internal circuit without direct contact with the electrical grid; f2. An embedded energy storage system, composed of a supercapacitor and / or a rechargeable battery, connected to the internal power bus; f3. A load switching relay, which, when activated, can interrupt the primary current from the grid, requiring the device to remain temporarily energized by its internal power source; and f4. An inductive energy meter, responsible for measuring the consumption of connected modules without a direct connection to the phase or neutral of the electrical network.

[0102] During operation, the inductive source provides continuous power to the device under normal conditions. The energy meter takes consumption readings via inductive coupling, protected against noise and network surges. When the internal relay is switched (e.g., in response to a module failure), the inductive power supply is temporarily interrupted. The supercapacitor / battery then activates, ensuring sufficient power for event recording, sending a fault alert (e.g., module burnout), and executing a safe shutdown protocol.

[0103] The central objective of this functional variant is to provide the device with greater electrical isolation and immunity to public grid instabilities. It aims to increase the device's lifespan, even when connected to highly aggressive electrical environments. It also aims to provide critical operational autonomy, allowing the transmission of important events even in situations without continuous power supply. Finally, it aims to have structural reliability, transforming the device into a safe element for diagnostics and fault logging, even after failures in the coupled modules.

[0104] Some of the advantages of this application are: • Elimination of faults caused by network noise, surges, or voltage spikes; • Functional continuity during switching of internal relays or short periods without power; • Ability to operate in degraded networks or networks subject to constant failures; • Generation of reliable diagnostic events, even without continuous external power supply; and Modular architecture, which can be applied as a variant to the secondary module (SM) model of Figure 8.
