  • Patent number: 10524330
    Abstract: A system adjusts detection parameters used to process a signal from a PIR sensor to reduce false triggers. A detection module receives a sensor output signal from a PIR sensor and inputs from environmental sensors, including a temperature sensor. The detection module adjusts detection parameters of a bandpass filter and/or a thresholod comparison module based on the inputs from the environmental sensors. The detection module generates a motion presence signal that indicates whether motion has been detected and that compensates for external environmental factors.

  • Patent number: 10455493
    Abstract: An intelligent streetlight may include a modem capable of communicating on a mobile communications network. The intelligent streetlight may be communicate with a network operations center (“NOC”) via the mobile communications network. In some aspects, the intelligent streetlight configures the modem to transmit on the mobile network based on multiple types of network provisioning data. For example, the modem may have a network configuration, such as a low-bandwidth mobile data plan, based on stored provisioning data. The modem may reconfigure the modem based on additional provisioning data for an additional network configuration, such as a high-bandwidth mobile data plan. In some cases, the additional provisioning data is requested by the streetlight from the NOC. In some cases, the NOC may provide the additional provisioning data to multiple intelligent streetlights, such that the multiple streetlights are each reconfigured in a short period of time.

  • Patent number: 10440801
    Abstract: A system detects multiple occupancy modes for a PIR sensor. The a single PIR motion sensor that generates a sensor output signal that is filtered or sampled to determine more than one type of motion. Upon determining the types of motion detected, the system controls a lighting system based on the type or types of motion detected.
