    The indirectly actuated by a person component may be a motion detector that controls a lamp of the lighting system, provides signals for an alarm or extra for the system for monitoring of persons was installed.
    The invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Show it:<Tb> FIG. 1 <SEP> a first embodiment of the person monitoring system according to the present invention,<Tb> FIG. 2 schematically shows the structure of a component of a system for monitoring persons according to the present invention, and<Tb> FIG. 3 is a flowchart of the method according to an embodiment of the present invention.
    Components with the same functions are identified in the figures with the same reference numerals.
    The system according to the present invention may consist in a simple embodiment of a counter which is coupled to a light switch or a lamp and detects actions of switching on and / or off the light or counts. The detection of the actions by the counter could be started at a certain time of day and stopped at another time of day, for example, to capture only actions / events at night, or the detection is time-resolved. If a certain count or a predetermined number of exceedances of a particular meter reading is reached at different counts / nights, a warning signal and / or a message can be issued in this regard.
    On the other hand, if it is necessary to monitor persons who are to carry out certain activities at certain times, a warning signal / message can be output if the meter falls below a certain meter reading or if it repeatedly falls below a certain meter reading.
    In lighting systems in which a communication between the individual components of the lighting system, this communication can be used to detect desired actions for monitoring.
    Fig. 1 shows schematically a system according to the present invention, in which the communication between individual components of the lighting system via a DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) protocol / interface. The system has switches S1, S2, S3 (DALI control devices) connected to a bus system 1 and operating devices B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, wherein the operating device B2 is coupled to the bus system 1 via the operating device BI. The interface 2 (DALI gateway) is used to wirelessly connect a motion detector 3 (sensor) to the bus system 1. The topology and number of switches S1, 32, S3, operating devices B1, B2, B3, B4, B5 and sensors / motion detectors 3 is not limited to that shown in FIG. 1 and may be lower or higher. A maximum of 64 actuators are allowed per DALI bus.
    Each operating device B1, B2, B3, B4, B5 can be controlled individually via DALI short addresses and v / ground with respect to the intensity of the light to be emitted of / the associated light source. By means of a bidirectional data exchange, the switches S1, S2, S3 (DALI controllers) can poll the status of the operating devices B1, B2, B3, B4, B5 and set their status (on / off, dimmed).
    According to the present invention, a control unit 4 is connected to the bus system 1, which monitors the exchange of data, actions, such as switching on / off or dimming, recorded and stores information about the detected actions. It is also possible that the control unit 4 polls the status of the operating devices B1, B2, B3, B4, B5 regularly. The control unit 4 logs the actions of the lighting system (the status), whereby information, such as when, with which control unit (switch S1, S2, S3 or motion detector 3) which operating device B1, B2, B3, B4 and / or B5 was controlled, be captured and stored.
    The stored information can be output from the controller 4 to an external device 5 or 6 for evaluation v / ground. Alternatively or additionally, the control unit 4 may be designed to evaluate the stored information itself and to output the results of the evaluation to the external device 5 and / or 6 for an output / display.
    In the system shown in FIG. 1, at least one of the switches S1, S2, S3 and / or the operating devices B1, B2, B3, 34, B5 can be assigned to a specific person, since the switches 51, S2, S3 and / or the operating device B1, B2, B3, B4, B5 is located, for example, on the bed and / or in the room / bedroom of the person. Other switches S1, S2, 33 and operating devices B1, B2, B3, B4, 35 may be located in areas / rooms, for example washrooms or toilets, which are often accessed by other / different persons.
    According to the present invention, all actions of each switch S1, S2, S3 and each operating device B1, B2, B3, B4, B5 or selectively only certain actions (eg dimming) and / or actions of certain switches of the control unit 4 S1, S2, S3 and / or certain operating devices B1, B2, B3, B4, B5 are detected and stored. Also, the capture can only be done at certain times or periods.
    In a simple evaluation of the stored information, for example, the number of actions in which one or more of a person associated component (switch S1, S2, S3 and / or operating devices B1, B2, B3, B4, B5) is activated or has been deactivated, compared with a threshold for an abnormal number or an abnormal behavior and issued an audible and / or visual warning if exceeded.
    With the actions detected over an extended period of time (e.g., continually) and the information stored thereon, the controller 4 may generate a reference pattern (e.g., by a trained neural network) that reflects normal behavior, particularly for certain times of the day. This reference pattern can be compared with a pattern generated from currently detected actions, wherein at a certain deviation of the current pattern from the reference pattern an audible and / or visual warning is issued.
    Alternatively, an externally generated reference pattern may be input to the controller 4 and / or the pattern generated from the detected actions may be compared with a plurality of reference patterns, each reflecting a different behavior to be evaluated.
    The action pattern generated from the stored information may activate the number of all detected actions, the number of all detected actions in a certain period of time, the number of one or more specific actions in a certain period, all at a certain time of day or in a certain period of time Components, the duty cycle of components, the sequence of activation and / or deactivation of components, the number of a particular sequence of activation and / or deactivation of components, and / or the components not activated at a certain time of day or in a certain period or not been disabled include.
    For example, if the frequency of the toilet visit of a particular person is to be monitored / detected, an action pattern may be generated that includes the number of following two sequences of actions. Sequence 1: Activation (switching on) of the bedroom lighting, activation (switching on) of the corridor lighting and activation (switching on) of the toilet lighting. Sequence 2: deactivating (switching off) the toilet lighting, deactivating (switching off) the hall lighting and deactivating (switching off) the bedroom lighting. Other limitations are possible, such as the time of day (sensing / counting only in power) and / or a maximum amount of time between successive actions in the sequence (detecting no sequence where the maximum time has been exceeded).
    With this action pattern / filter, toilet visits from persons accommodated in other dormitories or the search of other rooms of the person to be monitored can be filtered out.
    The result of the recorded toilet visits can be electronically assigned to a patient record or compared with a predetermined pattern, empirical values or a threshold value.
    For a distinction of the actions in which one or more of the switches S1, S2, S3, the operating devices B1, B2, B3, B4, B5 and sensors 3 were directly or indirectly operated, activated or deactivated by a person is an identification of the actuated, activated or deactivated components needed. DE 69 434 976 T2 describes a method with which each component / module in a lighting system can be assigned a unique address.
    According to the present invention, it is also possible that clearly identifiable and networked in an "Internet of Things" (English Internet of Things, short form: IoT) operating devices capture the actions themselves and store information for generating an action pattern to a Central deliver. Communication can take place from an operating device to the control center or to a mobile communication device via the IP protocol.
    Fig. 2 shows an example of the structure of such an operating device BS, which may be an LED operating device. The operating device B6 has a control device 8, which receives control signals for switching on / off or dimming of the lighting means 11 via a connection 10, a memory device 12 in which the control device 8 communicates information about the respective on / off action or dimming action stores with the respective time of action, and a network interface 13 for exchanging information with the other operating devices in the lighting system, the control center and / or the mobile communication device (not shown).
    3 shows a flowchart of the method according to an embodiment of the present invention. In step S1 of the flowchart, any action in which one or more components of the lighting system are directly or indirectly actuated, activated or deactivated by a person is detected, and in step S2 information about the detected action including the component being operated is detected. enabled or disabled, stored in conjunction with the particular time of capture. Steps S1 and S2 are repeated over the period of monitoring.
    In step 53, a pattern is generated from the stored information by, for example, determining the number of specific actions. For example, in the evaluation of the generated pattern in step S4, the determined number may be compared with a threshold value, wherein in step S5 the issuing of a warning signal occurs when the threshold value has been reached. For example, steps S3 to S5 may be performed once a day in the morning (for a visit).
