  • Patent number: 11395902
    Abstract: A system for waking a user up by a stimulus, wherein the stimulus is adapted to vary according to an intensity curve. A user interface is adapted to receive user preferences, such as a desired wake-up time and a preference indicator. The preference indicator indicates whether the user prefers to be more alert after waking up or to have a longer sleep. An alarm is used for providing a stimulus to the user and a processor is used for determining a stimulus intensity curve for the alarm. Determining the stimulus intensity curve is based on at least the user preferences.

  • Patent number: 9243764
    Abstract: The present invention refers to a luminaire comprising a plurality of directed light sources arranged in a surface of a three-dimensional body and a controller for controlling the operational state of the luminaire. The controller comprises a three-dimensional touch-sensitive surface. Each point on the touch-sensitive surface is allocated to a position of the body surface such that an operational state of at least one light source at a position of the body surface is changeable by touching a point on the touch-sensitive surface allocated to this position. A corresponding method for controlling a luminaire comprises the steps of detecting a touch at a point on a three-dimensional touch-sensitive surface and changing an operational state of at least one light source at a position of the body surface allocated to the touch point on the touch-sensitive surface.

  • Patent number: 8487540
    Abstract: A wake-up lighting device is described, comprising a gas discharge lamp (10) and a lamp driver (1; 2) comprising a power source (100) capable of generating spaced-apart current bursts (51) of alternating lamp current (I). The wake-up lighting device is capable of operating in an off-mode in which no lamp current is generated, and is adapted to switch from its off-mode to a wake-up mode in which the power source (100) operates to:—initially generate an alternating lamp current (I) with a minimum duty cycle value (?T) and a reduced current amplitude (IR) close to zero;—subsequently gradually increase the current amplitude while keeping the duty cycle (?) constant at the minimum duty cycle value (?T), until the current amplitude reaches a nominal current amplitude (IM);—subsequently gradually increase the duty cycle (?) while keeping the current amplitude constant at the nominal current amplitude (IM).
