  • Patent number: 10701781
    Abstract: A method of programming a respective rule for controlling lighting in each of one or more zones each being occupiable by a user. The method comprises: detecting that a user has actuated one or more actuators serving a zone presently occupied by the user; receiving a user selection through a user interface of a user terminal, to select one or more illumination sources arranged to illuminate the zone presently occupied by the user; and 5 based on this detection and user selection, automatically programming a respective rule into a memory in association with the one or more actuators, the rule specifying how the illumination emitted by the one or more selected illumination sources is to be controlled as a function of a subsequent instance of said user interaction.

  • Publication number: 20200073579
    Abstract: The invention relates to a master device (2) for monitoring and reporting memory usage in a connected device system including at least one subsidiary device (3, 3?) to a remote entity (6) via a cloud service (5), a system (1) for monitoring memory usage comprising said master device (2) and the remote entity (6), a respective method and a computer program for executing the method on the master device (2). In order to allow the master device (2) and the at least one subsidiary device (3, 3?) to use their respective memory devices in a manner that avoids quick wear out, the usage pattern is frequently monitored to account for any changes in user behavior and to provide an improved usage algorithm to the memory devices that adjusts the usage pattern in accordance with the new requirements.
