    DYNAMIC NETWORK OF PUBLIC LUMINAIRE, CONTROL SYSTEM FOR AT LEAST ONE LUMINAIRE, LUMINAIRE HAVING ONE: CONTROL SYSTEM FOR COMMUNICATION WITH A PLURALITY OF LUMINAIRES IN A LUMINAIRE NETWORK AND METHOD FOR CALIBRATION OF A LUMINAIRE WITHIN A NETWORK OF LUMINAIRES
    TECHNICAL FIELD: The present invention is generally directed towards O. control of luminaires that employ solid state light sources. More particularly, the various methods and equipment of the invention disclosed herein relate to an intelligent control system for an object-sensing network.
    HISTORY Digital lighting technologies, that is, lighting based on semiconductor light sources, such as light emitting diodes (LEDs), offer a viable alternative to traditional fluorescent, HID and incandescent lamps. The functional advantages and benefits of LEDs include high energy conversion and optical efficiency, durability, low operating costs and many others. Recent advances in LED technology have provided efficient and robust full-spectrum light sources that allow for a variety of lighting effects in many applications. Some luminaires that configure these sources "” * 25 display a lighting module, which includes one or more "LEDs" capable of producing different colors, eg red, 'green and blue, as well as a processor to independently control the output of LEDs to generate a variety of colors and luminous effects of color variation, for example, as discussed in detail in US patents Nos. 6,016,038 and 6,211,626. These luminaires can be configured to integrate lighting with data manipulation and transmission functions, for example, as discussed in U.S. Patent No. 6,548,967. incorporated herein by reference.
    Many luminaires that have been designed are LEDs for energy savings. Luminaires have also been designed that additionally or alternatively constitute intelligent lighting control systems, to achieve energy savings. For example, some. Public luminaires include a daylight sensor and a motion detector, being wirelessly connected to other neighboring public luminaires. Each street lamp only lights up when the ambient light level measured by its daylight sensor is below a certain level and (1) motion is detected or (2) a wireless signal from a street lamp in the vicinity indicates that movement was detected by the movement detector of the street lamp in the neighborhood. When an object is detected by the motion detector of the street lamp in the vicinity, the wireless signal it sends causes all the street lights that are in the vicinity of the street lamp to light up. Thus, the same number of public lighting fixtures in the neighborhood will light up regardless of the actual path of the detected object. In the case of a road with a median having street lights on each side of the median, this can cause certain street lights in the neighborhoods on one side of the median opposite the object to light up unnecessarily. In the case of a winding road, Ú this can cause certain public lighting fixtures that are within a short flight time of the object, but at a great distance along the object's real path, to light up unnecessarily. The relationship between luminaires in these systems is based on the distance between them, and is not dynamically determined, for example, by the relationship between them along one or more normal activity paths.
    | Thus, there is a need in the art for an intelligent control system for an object-sensing network, which includes one or more luminaires capable of dynamically determining a relationship with a plurality of other luminaires.

The optical sensor can be, for example, a phototransistor, photodiode or any other luminaire capable of detecting incident light having the O | 20 wavelength present in a received light power having encoded LED data. | The detector object 30 can be realized as a motion detector operably positioned to detect the presence and / or movement of an object inside | , 25 of a coverage strip. In some embodiments, the object | detector 30 can be, for example, one or more luminaires that i detect movement and / or the presence of an object, for example, | infrared light, laser technology, radio waves, a fixed camera, inductive proximity detection, a thermographic camera and / or an electromagnetic or electrostatic field. Detector object 30 and controller 50 comprise a system for detecting motion in the realization of FIGURE

    | MM | 23/38 When movement is detected by the detector object 30 of a given street lamp 20A-P, its controller 50 can transmit the data via its data transmitter 37. The transmitted data includes lamp identification data indicative of the movement being detected by that certain "20A-P transmission public light.
    The data receiver 39 of at least one other street light 20A-P is operable to receive the identification data of the street lighting.
    If at least another '10 streetlight 20A-P has been calibrated, it will ensure that the light output of the light source 24 is at an appropriate' level of light output based on its dynamically determined time relationship with the | transmission 20A-P, described in more detail herein. :. 15 If at least the other 20A-P street light does not already have | been calibrated, its controller 50 can determine a 'time difference relative to the 20A-P transmission streetlight, as described in greater detail herein.
    The difference in time can be used to calculate a temporal relationship and is related to the difference in time between the reception of the street lighting identification data of the 20A-P transmission street lamp and the movement detection by at least another 20A street lamp. -P. . 25 - “Again - with reference to FIGURE 1, it is described in 'details the calibration of a single street lamp 20M of the' network of street lights 10, according to one embodiment.
    The 20M street lamp can self-calibrate during one or more periods of low activity.
    A period of low activity corresponds to the occasions when relatively few cars are close to the 20M luminaire, so that the time required for a single vehicle to travel between some of the 20A-L and 20N-P public luminaires and the 20M public luminaire can be determined. . In some embodiments, the period of low activity can be determined based on the amount of movement detected in all or part of the network of public luminaires 10. In some embodiments, periods of low activity can be a pre- | selected, for example, 3:00 am - 4:00 am. | 7 In other embodiments, the period of low activity may be,; otherwise determined. ; During the low activity period, the 20M public luminaire can receive, through its 39M data receiver, | a plurality of identification data for the luminaire, each; which is indicative of a movement being detected by an Í of the luminaires 20A-L and 20N-P. The controller 50M of the street lamp 20M calculates a plurality of time differences,. 15 each of the time differences being relative to the time between the receipt of the luminaire identification data 'from one of the 20A-L and 20N-P luminaires and the movement detection by the 30M motion detector of the 20M public luminaire. Each of the time differences is indicative of the amount of time it took an object to travel between the coverage range of the 21A-L and 21N-P streetlight and the coverage range of the 21M streetlight. After a predetermined number of time differences have been calculated, the controller 50M can then 425 calculate the time ratio of each plurality of luminaires 20A-L and 20N-P, based on a plurality of time differences calculated for each. of the luminaires 20A-L and 20N-P. In some embodiments, the temporal relationship of a single luminaire between the 20A-L and 20N-P luminaires can be based, for example, on considering the average of all A-time differences from a single luminaire. In some embodiments, the relation of a single luminaire between the 20A-L and 20N-P luminaires may be based, for example, on considering the THE )
    25/38 i | 'average of the statistically significant range of time differences for a single fixture.
    In some embodiments, the temporal relationship of a single luminaire between the 20A-L and 20N-P luminaires can be based, for example, on an average value of all time differences not located outside a single luminaire.
    In other embodiments, the temporal relationship of a single luminaire between the luminaires 20A-L and 20N-P can: otherwise be based on a plurality of time differences from the single luminaire.
    As an example, Table 1-1 below shows a plurality of time differences measured as an example of q ”a 20M street light compared to 20A street light.
    Each difference in time is indicative of the time period, in seconds, that it takes for the object to travel from the range - 15 of the streetlight cover 21A to the range of the streetlight cover 21M.
    The value ""> 180 "is indicative of a time greater than 180 seconds and can be indicative of, for example, a vehicle that never passed the 20M street light after passing the 20A street light. | A and J20 / 42 [46 [ 50]> 180]> 2180 [> 280 [/ 44] 39 [05/42 [a6] 29) Table 1-1 In some embodiments, to determine the temporal relationship of the 20M street light to the public light 20A, Oo controller 50M can calculate an average of the smallest statistically significant range of time differences.
    Per . For example, the 50M controller can calculate an average of all measured time differences from 40 seconds to 49 seconds, resulting in a calculated time ratio of 45 seconds for street lighting 20A.
    The time relationship for a given public lighting fixture 20A-L or 20N-P can be fixed after a predetermined number of time differences have been received for that particular lighting fixture.
    In others | realizations, the time relationship for a given public luminaire 20A-L or 20N-P can be continuously updated during periods of low activity.
    In some embodiments, the time relationship for a given public lighting fixture 20A-L or 20N-P can be reset, for example, manually and / or if the 50M controller recognizes a 'significant change in the calculated time difference with respect to a particular lighting fixture. public 20A-L or 20N-P.
    A significant change in the calculated time difference can occur if, for example, traffic patterns and / or the speed limit are changed. | As another example, Table 1-2 below shows | calculated temporal relations for the 20M public luminaire | with respect to the public luminaire 20A-L and 20N-P. | Polo | 20th | 208 | 20c | 20D | 20m | 20F | 20G | 20H | Eeedo Os Treo raso as | to the T 7180 [> 180 | | Polo | 2017 | 207 | 20x | 207 | 200 | 200 | 20P | | [Ber Do Ts Ts Tra To so rs Table 1-2 The 50M controller can adjust the output of the 24M light source based on the calculated time ratio of a 20A-L or 20N-P street lamp corresponding to the received street lamp identification data recently.
    As an example, the 50M controller can adjust its source. and luminous 24M, according to a-Table 1-3 below, which shows - various luminous productions that correspond to various temporal relations.
    In alternative embodiments, the The 50M controller can adjust its light source according to, for example, another table and / or a formula that includes the temporal relationship as its variable.
    Table 1-3 Continued reference is made to FIGURE 1 for an example of the behavior of the 20M street light after calibration, using Table 1-2 and Table 1-3. If a vehicle moves within the coverage range of the street light 21A, The data transmitter 37A of the street light 20A 'transmits data, either directly or indirectly. public lighting identification for the public lighting 20M, which receives the public lighting identification data by a 39M data receiver. As the calculated time ratio of the 20M street light to the 20A street light is less than 60 seconds, but greater than 29 seconds (45 seconds), the 50M controller causes the 24M light source to illuminate to produce approximately 85% of its production - 15 luminous. If the vehicle moves within the coverage range of the public luminaire 21B, the data transmitter 37B: transmits the identification data of the public luminaire, either directly or indirectly, to the 39M data receiver. As the calculated time ratio of the 20M street light to the 20B street light is less than 60 seconds, but greater than 29 seconds (35 seconds), the 50M controller maintains the 24M light source at approximately 85% of its light output.
    If the vehicle continued on a straight path and if '25 “moved within the coverage range of the 21C public luminaire, the 37C data transmitter would transmit the public' luminaire identification 'data, either directly or indirectly, to the data receiver 39M. As the calculated time ratio of the 20C street light to the 20M street light is greater than 180 seconds, the 50M controller would reduce the light output of the 24M light source to approximately 30% of its light output. If the vehicle turned to the left and moved within the
    '28/38 coverage of public luminaire 211, Oo data transmitter | 37I would transmit the identification data for the luminaire | public to the 39M data receiver.
    As the calculated time ratio of the 20I street light to the 20M street light is less than 30 seconds (20 seconds), the 50M controller would increase the light output of the 24M light source to 'approximately 100% of its light output.
    In some embodiments, the light output of the 24M light source can: be maintained at approximately 100%, until the vehicle approaches another public luminaire having a time value corresponding to a lower value of light output (eg, the public luminaire) 20N) and / or until a certain period of time has passed without receiving the identification data of the public luminaire indicating one: 15 vehicle nearby. | In some projects, one of the newly installed '20A-P public lighting fixtures may be in full production | luminous until you have received enough data | statistics of other 20A-P public luminaires to be calibrated.
    In some embodiments, one or more public lighting fixtures 20A-P can be configured with a minimum level of light output.
    For example, a plurality of public lighting fixtures 20A-P can be configured to always produce at least a 70% light output level to maintain a safe environment.
    In some embodiments, an O B plus light sources 24A-P from street lights 20A-P 'can be switched off completely after, for example, a predetermined period of time has elapsed without receiving identification data from the street light indicating a vehicle nearby and / or after public lighting identification data indicative of an object distancing from public lighting fixtures 20A-P has been received.
    In some embodiments, the level of light output of one or more of the 20A-P street lights may, additionally or alternatively, be dependent on determining the direction of a detected object. In some embodiments, the direction of a detected object with respect to a reference luminaire can be determined by comparing the time relationship corresponding to the recently received public luminaire identification data with the least recently received public luminaire identification data. For example, a greater temporal relationship may indicate that an object is moving away from the reference fixture.
    In some embodiments, the direction of a detected object can be determined with reference to a calculated spatial relationship between the public lighting fixtures 20A-P. A: 15 spatial relation can be calibrated and determined during periods of low activity and may include the calculation of one or more paths based on the successor activity of the luminaire identification data. For example, during periods of low sequential activity, the streetlight identification data can be monitored to determine the following eight typical activity paths along the street lighting network 10 shown below in Table 1-4. | FARS Tm E TE ED Epson CEE ETTA =] - Those [GE Gs and [| [| CET NTE TF Ee Table 1-4
    During periods of low activity, after spatial relationships have been determined, only a few | street lights 20A-P can be illuminated when movement is determined in a given street light 20A-P based on the spatial relationship.
    For example, if movement is detected in the coverage range of the '21A public luminaire, the public luminaires along Paths 1, 3 and 5 (20A, 20B, 20C, 20D, 201, 20J, 20M and 20N) can be illuminated.
    In some embodiments, those closest to the public luminaire 20A along the paths can be illuminated at a higher level of light output than those more distant along the paths.
    For example, public lighting fixtures 20B, 20C and 20I can be illuminated at a higher level of light output than public lighting fixtures. 15 20D and 20) and public lighting 20D and 20J can be illuminated at a higher level of light output than "public lighting 20M and 20N.
    If movement is detected in the coverage range of street lamp 21B, the level of light output of street lights 20D and 20J can be increased.
    If movement is then detected in the coverage range of the public luminaire 21C, the light output of public luminaires 201, 20JI, 20M, and 20N can be reduced, since at that point it can be determined that the movement is occurring along Path 1 and not over
    1 25- of Path 3 or Path 5. "7" The light output of a given '20A-P public luminaire can be exclusively dependent on the spatial relationship determined between the 20A-P public luminaires.
    In some embodiments, the light output of a given 20A-P street light may be dependent on the spatial relationship determined between 20A-P street lights and the temporal relationship determined in the middle.
    In some embodiments, the light output of a given 20A-P street light may be dependent on the spatial relationship determined between the 20A-P street lights and the time you are in between. The level of light output of one or more public lighting fixtures 20A-P can also be dependent on the level of ambient light measured by a daylight sensor. For example, if the ambient light level is indicative of relatively dark conditions, a certain public lighting fixture] 20 AD can be illuminated at a higher level of light production for a given temporal relationship than if the ambient light level were indicative of relatively high conditions. night light (as can be the case with snow cover and / or full moon).
    It will be appreciated that using the calibration. 15 the temporal and / or spatial dynamics described herein, the replacement of a simple 20A-P street light can "occur without the need to change any adjustment of the 20A-P unsubscribed street lights and the 20A-P replaced street lights will readily adapt and if | 20 will self-calibrate within the public lighting network 10. Additionally, new installations of the public lighting network 10 can occur without the need for commissioning, for example, new installations can occur without the need for manual calibration of the public lighting - 25 individual 10-e without the need to manually map the = individual public lighting fixtures 20A-P.
    With reference to FIGURE 3, in another embodiment, the network of street lights 100 has a plurality of street lights 120A-P arranged along a curved road. The plurality of public luminaires 120A-P are in network communication with each other and each is operable to detect the movement of an object within a corresponding range of public lighting coverage usually represented by a dashed ring line surrounding each of the luminaires public 120A-P. The spatial relationship between 120A-P street lights can be determined during periods of low activity and may include the calculation of one or more paths based on the successor activity. For example, during periods of low activity, the sequential identification data of the public luminaire can be monitored by each of the 120A-P public luminaires, so that each public luminaire can determine its relationship between the other 120A-P public luminaires. For example, table 3-1 below shows the spatial relationship of the 120K public luminaire with other luminaires. The spatial relationship in table 3-1 is calculable by tracking the street lamp identification data that precede and. 15 follow the motion detection by the 120K street lamp during periods of low activity.
    . Spatial Ratio of the 120K Street Light [rm [aBcpere EESTI NPOC) [as Tie EEEE PERES) Table 3-1 A controller associated with the 120K street light can cause your light source to illuminate at a light output level that corresponds to a light ratio between the 120K street light and at least one of the recently received street lighting identification data. For example, in some embodiments, the 120K Ú street lamp can illuminate at a threshold lighting level if one of the most recently received street lamp identification data is indicative of movement in the 120A-P street lamp having a spatial ratio of three or less. Also, for example, in some embodiments, the 120K public luminaire can illuminate at a limit lighting level if one of the
    | 33/38 most recently received street lamp identification data is indicative of movement in a 120A-P street lamp having a spatial relationship of three or less and if at least two of the recently received street lamp identification data are indicative of movement that is occurring in a direction of the street lamp 7 120K.
    In some embodiments, the light output of a given 120A-P street light may be dependent 'exclusively on the spatial relationship determined between 120A-P street lights.
    In some embodiments, the t light output of a given 120A-P! it may be dependent on the spatial relationship determined between the public lighting fixtures 120A-P and the temporal relationship determined in the middle.
    The light output of a given - 15 120A-P street lamp may be dependent on the spatial relationship determined between 120A-P street lights and O "intermediate flight time.
    Although several realizations of the control system for a luminaire have been described in the present, many other variations and / or additions can be made.
    For example, in some projects, public lighting can be designed with distributions with independent control of bilateral light intensity.
    In the case, for example, of little busy roads, the intersections or roads that. 25 are not used relatively at night, it may be desirable to have only one side of the public lamp with control] independent of bilateral light intensity illuminating at full intensity, thus minimizing the brightness perceived by the driver.
    Depending on the amount, direction and / or speed: 30 of the traffic near the street lamp, one or both sides of the street lamp may be lit.
    Also, for example, in some projects, “public solar-powered luminaires can be used. Also, for example, in regions without radio coverage, coded light emissions can be used to transmit travel alert information to vehicles equipped accordingly. Also, for example, in some embodiments, one or more components of a single control system 25 can be 'associated with multiple luminaires. For example, a single control system 25 can control a luminaire node having a plurality of luminaires and can be on. 10 network communication with one or more luminaire nodes, each having one or more luminaires. In those or others | «Realizations, the control system can be physically located or adjacent to one of the plurality of luminaires or it can be, for example, provided with a remote pole or another: 15 area distinct from the plurality of luminaires.
    Also, for example, in some embodiments the lighting network can be used for indoor applications, such as in corridors, tunnels, offices, shops | (eg, shelf lighting), or '20 transition spaces at airports. In these and other applications, the lighting network can be operable to detect various pedestrian movements. For example, pedestrians can walk at different speeds, or can run, wear skates, or can move at different speeds on a conveyor belt and be detected by the lighting network. A change in light output with respect to a production: limit light refers to the total intensity of light output, as well as to a component of the intensity of light output such as, for example, a given wavelength. Also, for example, in some embodiments, cameras can be integrated into the network of public luminaires and configured to take pictures of a car's license plate when the vehicle speed measured by one or more public luminaires is beyond the speed limit.
    Also, for example, the luminaire network can be in electrical communication with an external network, such as, for example, the internet or a telephone network, and automatically communicate a high speed or other incident to the
    'police or other emergency services.
