Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure include methods and systems for the automated commissioning of a network of electronic devices. The locations of large systems of installed electronic devices equipped with wireless communication modules, such as luminaires, light switches, and occupancy sensors, can be rapidly determined by using inter-device distance measurements to calculate the location coordinates of the devices. Increased confidence in the calculated location coordinates can be achieved by comparing the calculated values to an installation plan and assigning the IDs of the specific devices to the location coordinates in the installation plan.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for detecting human presence and tracking motion within a given area using light reflections. Activity is detected by receiving light encoded with source-identifying data reflected from the area and sensing changes, caused by human presence in the area, from a previously established baseline in the light reflection profile for the area. The baseline is updated over time based on human movement and/or as the area changes. Location-indicative changes in the current baseline that are greater than a certain threshold indicate a change in occupancy state of that location. In some embodiments, lightguides are used to define a specific field-of-view for the sensors. The combination of a known field-of-view and a known source of reflected light allows location of each occupant's activity to be tracked within the area. Occupancy can be detected or inferred based on activity tracked entering the area followed by lack of an exit event.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure include systems and methods for automated luminaire commissioning using computer vision and light-based communications (“LCom”). In some examples, locations of an installation of luminaires can be measured and recorded with a mobile commissioning device equipped with an image capture device and image processing and simultaneous localization and mapping software.
