DESC:FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present disclosure relates to lighting systems and more particularly, relates to a smart lighting system to operate a light source using at least one of one electronic device and at least a pair of switches.

BACKGROUND

Generally, staircase electrical connections are employed to enable a user to operate a light apparatus by using more than one electrical switch. For example, one switch is positioned at a start of a staircase for switching ON the light apparatus, and another switch is positioned at an end of the staircase for switching OFF the light apparatus. Such switches are electrically connected in a manner that the light apparatus can be switched on or switched off by operating any of the switches based on the user’s location. Similarly, such staircase electrical connections are also deployed in enclosed spaces, such as bedrooms, to enable the user to switch ON the light apparatus using a switch in a vicinity of an entry of the room and, to switch OFF the light apparatus using a switch in a vicinity of a bed located within the room.

Nowadays, it is quite evident that a lot of efforts are being made to achieve automation in our routine activities in order to ensure comfort and convenience for consumers. With the advancement in technology, various lighting apparatuses are provided with the capability to communicate with electronic devices, such as smartphones, to control different operational characteristics of such light apparatuses. However, there is still a need for a smart system that can enable the user to monitor the operational status of the light apparatus and the switches with the stairway electrical connections. Further, integration of the smart system with the staircase electrical connections is required to enable the user to remotely operate the light apparatus.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Figure 1 illustrates a block diagram of a smart lighting system 100, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. In an embodiment, the smart lighting system 100 may interchangeably be referred to as the system 100, without departing from the scope of the present disclosure. The system 100 may be employed to operate at least one light source deployed in an environment. In an embodiment, the environment may be embodied as one of an enclosed space, such as a room, and an open space. The system 100 may enable a user to operate at least one light source via multiple electrical switches and at least one electronic device.

Referring to Figure 1, in the illustrated embodiment, the system 100 may include, but is not limited to, a light source 102, a pair of switches 104, a control unit 106, and at least one electronic device 108. The light source 102 may be embodied as one of an incandescent lamp, a compact fluorescent lamp, a halogen lamp, a metal halide lamp, a Light Emitting Diode (LED), a fluorescent tube, a neon lamp, a High Intensity Discharge (HID) lamp, and a low-pressure sodium lamp, without departing from the scope of the present disclosure. The light source 102 may be adapted to be operated between operating modes including, but not limited to, ON-mode and OFF-mode. In the ON-mode, the light source 102 may be operated to illuminate a space surrounding the light source. In the OFF-mode, the light source 102 may be operated to stop illuminating the space surrounding the light source.

Further, the pair of switches 104 may include a first switch 104-1 and a second switch 104-2 disposed at a distance from the first switch 104-1. In an exemplary implementation, the first switch 104-1 and the second switch 104-2 may be disposed within a space at different locations for enabling a user to operate the light source 102 based on a location of the user within the space. For example, the user may be located within the vicinity of the first switch 104-1, then the user may actuate the first switch 104-1 to operate the light source 102 in one of the operating modes. Subsequently, the user may move to a location, within the space, in the vicinity of the second switch 104-2, then the user may actuate the second switch 104-2 to operate the light source in one of the operating modes. This eliminates the requirement for the user to operate the light source 102 in each of the operating modes from a single switch, i.e., the first switch 104-1 or the second switch 104-2.

Each of the first switch 104-1 and the second switch 104-2 may be embodied as a 2-way rocker switch, without departing from the scope of the present disclosure. In the illustrated embodiment, the first switch 104-1 and the second switch 104-2 may be electrically connected with each other. Further, each of the first switch 104-1 and the second switch 104-2 may be electrically connected with the light source 102 via the control unit 106. Each of the first switch 104-1 and the second switch 104-2 may be adapted to be actuated to operate the light source 102 in one of ON-mode and OFF-mode. In an embodiment, each of the first switch 104-1 and the second switch 104-2 may be adapted to be actuated between a first position and a second position to operate the light source 102 in one of the ON-mode and the OFF-mode.

As mentioned earlier, the first switch 104-1 and the second switch 104-2 may be electrically connected with each other. In particular, the first switch 104-1 and the second switch 104-2 may be connected with each other in a manner that either of the first switch 104-1 or the second switch 104-2 can be actuated to operate the light source 102 in one of the ON-mode and the OFF-mode. For example, if the first switch 104-1 is actuated to operate the light source 102 in the ON-mode, then either of the first switch 104-1 and the second switch 104-2 can be actuated to operate the light source 102 in the OFF-mode. Similarly, if the second switch 104-2 is actuated to operate the light source 102 in the ON-mode, then either of the first switch 104-1 and the second switch 104-2 can be actuated to operate the light source 102 in the OFF-mode.

Figure 2 illustrates an environment depicting an implementation of the smart lighting system 100, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to Figure 2, each of the first switch 104-1 and the second switch 104-2 may include a first electrical terminal 202, a second electrical terminal 204, and a third electrical terminal 206. In the illustrated embodiment, the first electrical terminal 202 of the first switch 104-1 may be electrically connected to the first electrical terminal 202 of the second switch 104-2. Similarly, the third electrical terminal 206 of the first switch 104-1 may be electrically connected to the third electrical terminal 206 of the second switch 104-2. Further, the second electrical terminal 204 of each of the first switch 104-1 and the second switch 104-2 may be electrically connected with the control unit 106.

It should be appreciated by a person skilled in the art that the electrical connections, depicted in Figure 2, between the first switch 104-1 and the second switch 102-2 are exemplary. Therefore, it should not be construed as limiting, and different electrical connections can be provided between the first switch 104-1 and the second switch 104-2 in a manner that the first switch 104-1 and the second switch 104-2 can be actuated in combination or individually to operate the light source 102 in different operating modes, without departing from the scope of the disclosure. The pair of switches 104 may interchangeably be referred to as the pair of switches 104-1, 104-2.

In the illustrated embodiment, the control unit 106 of the system 100 may be electrically connected with the light source 102 and each of the pair of switches 104-1, 104-2. Further, the control unit 106 may be electrically connected to a power source 208, such as an Alternating Current (AC) power source and a Direct Current (DC) power source. In an embodiment, the control unit 106 may be adapted to operate the light source 102 in one of the ON-mode and the OFF-mode based on the actuation of at least one of the first switch 104-1 and the second switch 104-2. Constructional and operational details of the control unit 106 are explained in the subsequent sections of the present disclosure.

Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2, in the illustrated embodiment, the control unit 106 may be configured to be in communication with the at least one electronic device 108 via a network 110. The network 110 may include, but is not limited to, a mobile network, a broadband network, a Wide Area Network (WAN), and a Personal Area Network. The at least one electronic device 108 may be embodied as one of a smartphone, a voice-operated device, a laptop, a tablet, a PDA, and a smartwatch, without departing from the scope of the present disclosure.

Figure 3 illustrates a block diagram of the control unit 106 of the smart lighting system 100, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to Figure 3, in the illustrated embodiment, the control unit 106 may include a processor 302, memory 304, module(s) 306, and data 308. The module(s) 306 and the memory 304 are coupled to the processor 302. The processor 302 can be a single processing unit or a number of units, all of which could include multiple computing units. The processor 302 may be implemented as one or more microprocessors, microcomputers, microcontrollers, digital signal processors, central processing units, state machines, logic circuitries, and/or any devices that manipulate signals based on operational instructions. Among other capabilities, the processor is configured to fetch and execute computer-readable instructions and data stored in the memory.

The memory 304 may include any non-transitory computer-readable medium known in the art including, for example, volatile memory, such as static random-access memory (SRAM) and dynamic random-access memory (DRAM), and/or non-volatile memory, such as read-only memory (ROM), erasable programmable ROM, flash memories, hard disks, optical disks, and magnetic tapes.

The module(s) 306, amongst other things, include routines, programs, objects, components, data structures, etc., which perform particular tasks or implement data types. The module(s) may also be implemented as, signal processor(s), state machine(s), logic circuitries, and/or any other device or component that manipulate signals based on operational instructions. Further, the module(s) may be implemented in hardware, instructions executed by at least one processing unit, for e.g., the processor, or by a combination thereof. The processing unit may comprise a computer, a processor, a state machine, a logic array and/or any other suitable devices capable of processing instructions. The processing unit may be a general-purpose processor which executes instructions to cause the general-purpose processor to perform operations or, the processing unit may be dedicated to perform the required functions. In some example embodiments, the module(s) may be machine-readable instructions (software, such as web-application, mobile application, program, etc.) which, when executed by a processor/processing unit, perform any of the described functionalities.

In an embodiment, the modules 306 may include a communication module 310, a determining module 312, and an operating module 314. The communication module 310, the determining module 312, and the operating module 314 may be in communication with each other. The data serves, amongst other things, as a repository for storing data processed, received, and generated by one or more of the modules.

The control unit 106 may be configured to determine an operating status of each of the pair of switches. In the illustrated embodiment, the determining module 312 may determine the operating status of each of the pair of switches 104-1, 104-2. The operating status may be indicative of an actuating position of a switch, such as the first switch 104-1 and the second switch 104-2. The operating status may be indicative of the actuation of each of the pair of switches 104-1, 104-2 between the first position and the second position.

In an embodiment, the control unit 106 may be configured to operate the light source 102 in one of the ON-mode and the OFF-mode based on the determined operating status of each of the pair of switches 104-1, 104-2. In the illustrated embodiment, the operating module 314 may receive the operating status of each switch 104-1, 104-2 from the determining module 312. Subsequently, the operating module 314 may operate the light source in one of the ON-mode and the OFF-mode based on the operating status.

In one example, the first switch 104-1 may be actuated to one of the first position and the second position, when the light source 102 is in the OFF-mode. In such an example, based on the actuation of the first switch 104-1 and the actuation position of the second switch 104-2, the control unit 106 may operate the light source 102 in the ON-mode. Subsequently, if the second switch 104-2 is actuated to one of the first position and the second position, then the control unit 106 may operate the light source 102 in the OFF-mode.

In another example, the second switch 104-2 may be actuated to one of the first position and the second position, when the light source 102 is in the OFF-mode. In such an example, based on the actuation of the second switch 104-2 and the actuation position of the first switch 104-1, the control unit 106 may operate the light source 102 in the ON-mode. Subsequently, if the first switch 104-1 is actuated to one of the first position and the second position, then the control unit 106 may operate the light source 102 in the OFF-mode.

As explained earlier, the control unit 106 may be in communication with the at least one electronic device 108. The control unit 106 may be configured to transmit information indicative of an operating mode of the light source 102 and the operating status of each of the pair of switches 104-1, 104-2 to the at least one electronic device 108. In an embodiment, the communication module 310 may transmit information, in real-time, indicative of the operating mode of the light source 102 and the operating status of each switch 104-1, 104-2 to the at least one electronic device 108.

The operating mode may include one of the ON-mode and the OFF-mode of the light source 102. In an embodiment, the at least one electronic device 108 may be configured to display the operating mode of the light source 102 and the operating status of each of the pair of switches 104-1, 104-2. In an example, the at least one electronic device 108 may display the operating mode of the light source 102 and the operating status of each switch 104-1, 104-2 over a User Interface (UI) of an application installed in the at least one electronic device 108. The at least one electronic device 108 may interchangeably be referred to as the electronic device 108.

In an embodiment, the electronic device 108 may be employed for operating the light source 102 between the ON-mode and the OFF-mode. The control unit 106 may be configured to receive an instruction, from the electronic device 108, indicative of operating the light source 102 in one of the ON-mode and the OFF-mode. In the illustrated embodiment, the communication module 310 may receive the instruction from the electronic device 108 to operate the light source 102 in one of the operating modes. In one embodiment, the electronic device 108 may be manually operated by a user to send the instruction, to the control unit 106, via the UI of the application installed in the electronic device 108. In another embodiment, the electronic device 108 may receive an audio command from the user to send the instruction to the control unit 106 for operating the light source 102.

Further, the control unit 106 may be configured to determine, upon receiving the instruction from the electronic device 108, the operating mode, i.e., a current operating mode, of the light source 102. The current operating mode is referred to the operating mode in which the light source 102 is being operated when the instruction is received from the electronic device 108. In the illustrated embodiment, the determining model 312 may determine the current operating mode of the light source 102, upon receiving the instruction from the electronic device 108.

The control unit 106 may be configured to operate the light source 102 in one of the ON-mode and the OFF-mode based on the received instruction and the current operating mode of the light source 102. In the illustrated embodiment, the operating module 314 may operate the light source 102 based on the received instruction and the current operating mode of the light source 102.

In one embodiment, the control unit 106 may be configured to operate the light source 102 in the ON-mode, if the determined operating mode, i.e., the current operating mode, is indicative of the OFF-mode and the instruction received from the electronic device 108 is indicative of operating the light source 102 in the ON-mode. In another embodiment, the control unit 106 may be configured to operate the light source 102 in the OFF-mode, if the determined operating mode, i.e., the current operating mode, is indicative of the ON-mode and the instruction received from the electronic device 108 is indicative of operating the light source 102 in the OFF-mode.

As mentioned earlier, the operating module 314 of the control unit 106 may be configured to operate the light source 102 based on the determined operating status of each of the pair of switches 104-1, 104-2. In an embodiment, the operating module 314 may be configured to prioritize the operation of the light source 102 based on the instruction received from the electronic device 108 over the determined operating status of each switch 104-1, 104-2, if the instruction received after the actuation of one of the switches 104-1, 104-2. For example, initially, if the first switch 104-1 may be actuated to operate the light source 102 in the ON-mode, then the operating module 314 may operate the light source 102 in the ON-mode. Subsequently, in such an example, if an instruction is received from the electronic device 108 to operate the light source 102 in the OFF-mode, then the operating module 314 may operate the light source 102 in the OFF-mode.

Further, in an embodiment, the operating module 314 may be configured to prioritize the operation of the light source 102 based on the determined operating status of each switch 104-1, 104-2 over the instruction received from the electronic device 108, if one of the switches 104-1, 104-2 is actuated before receiving the instruction from the electronic device 108. For example, initially, if the operating module 314 may receive an instruction from the electronic device 108 to operate the light source 102 in the ON-mode, then the operating module 314 may operate the light source 102 in the ON-mode. Subsequently, in such an example, if one of the switches 104-1, 104-2 may be actuated to operate the light source 102 in the OFF-mode, then the operating module 314 may operate the light source 102 in the OFF-mode.

In an embodiment, the control unit 106 may be configured to store historical data associated with the operation of the light source 102 in each of the operating modes and associated with the actuation of each switch 104-1, 104-2 in one of the actuating positions, such as the first position and the second position. In an example, the historical data may include, but is not limited to, time durations of operation of the light source 102 in each operating mode and data indicating time-stamps of actuation of each switch 104-1, 104-2 to operate the light source 102.

In an embodiment, the control unit 106 may be configured to transmit the historical data to the electronic device 108. In such an embodiment, the electronic device 108 may display the historical data over the UI of the application installed in the electronic device 108. Further, in an embodiment, the control unit 106 may be configured to generate a schedule to operate the light source 102 in one of the operating modes, such as the ON-mode and the OFF-mode, based on the historical data. The schedule may be embodied as a time schedule for actuation of each switch 104-1, 104-2 to operate the light source 102.

As would be gathered, the present disclosure offers the smart lighting system 100 to operate the light source 102 using either the electronic device 108 or one of the pair of switches 104-1, 104-2. The pair of switches 104-1, 104-2 may be connected with each other in a stairway electrical connection to enable the operation of the light source 102 from either of the switches 104-1, 104-2. The smart lighting system 100 can be employed with existing 2-way rocker switches having the stairway electrical connection and therefore, the overall cost associated with the implementation of the smart lighting system 100 is substantially less.

Further, the smart lighting system 100 may include the control unit 106 in communication with the electronic device 108 and the 2-way rocker switches, such as 104-1, 104-2. The control unit 106 enables the user to remotely operate the light source 102 and to monitor the operation of the light source 102 using the electronic device 108 in communication with the control unit 108. This enables the user to operate the light source 102 from either the electronic device 108 or the 2-way rocker switches 104-1, 104-2 and therefore, enhancing the overall user experience while operating the light source 102.

Further, the control unit 106 also operates the light source based on the actuation of the 2-way rocker switches 104-1, 104-2. Implementation of the control unit 106 eliminates the requirement of separately deploying a smart switch by replacing an existing switch, such as a 2-way rocker switch. Therefore, a user can employ the smart lighting system 100 in the room, for remotely controlling the light source 102, by connecting the control unit 106 with existing 2-way rocker switches. This substantially reduces the overall cost burden from the user. Therefore, the smart lighting system 100 of the present disclosure is flexible in implementation, compact, efficient, cost-effective, and convenient.

While specific language has been used to describe the present subject matter, any limitations arising on account thereto, are not intended. As would be apparent to a person in the art, various working modifications may be made to the method in order to implement the inventive concept as taught herein. The drawings and the foregoing description give examples of embodiments. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that one or more of the described elements may well be combined into a single functional element. Alternatively, certain elements may be split into multiple functional elements. Elements from one embodiment may be added to another embodiment.
