  • Patent number: 11051386
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products for commissioning and controlling a lighting system, and tracking mobile devices. The lighting system comprises a plurality of system nodes including smart nodes and light fixtures. The smart nodes communicate with the mobile devices and the light fixtures to facilitate configuration and adjustment of the lighting system. The smart nodes may also receive signals from legacy control devices, and map the received control signals to control signals that are compatible with the light fixtures. The smart nodes may transmit beacon signals having unique identifiers that are received by the mobile devices. The mobile devices may in turn communicate received signal strengths for the beacon signals back to the smart nodes. The smart nodes may store this tracking data in a database to determine where and how long the mobile devices are in a location and to provide location-based services.

  • Patent number: 10555155
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products for communicating information to a mobile device in response to the mobile device receiving a beacon signal from an electronic tag. The electronic tag includes a near-field communication module configured to transmit a near-field beacon signal encoded with a universally unique identifier. The near field communication module may transmit the near-field beacon signal periodically or in response to the electronic tag receiving an interrogation signal from the mobile device. In response to receiving the near-field beacon signal, the mobile device queries a database using the universally unique identifier encoded in the beacon signal. In response to receiving the query, the database searches for data associated with the universally unique identifier and transmits the data to the mobile device for display to the user.

  • Patent number: 10390183
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products for determining the location of, and for communicating with a mobile device. An intelligent fixture transmits a first signal having a first spatial resolution and a second signal having a second spatial resolution. The spatial resolutions may be determined by a radiation pattern of the antenna broadcasting the signal. The mobile device receives at least one of the first and second signals, and determines an approximate location based thereon. An approximate location based on the first signal may be more accurate than an approximate location based on the second signal due to the different spatial resolutions of the signals. Location specific information may be transmitted to the mobile device based on the approximate location. The intelligent fixture may use an antenna having one spatial resolution for transmitting and receiving communication signals, and another antenna having a different spatial resolution for broadcasting beacon signals.

  • Patent number: 10206269
    Abstract: A system includes a light fixture for installation at a location that is configured to be programmed to operate according to a control program. A communication interface is used for communication with the controller. An optical receiver of the fixture is configured for receiving an optical signal. The controller monitors provisioning commands received by the fixture and determines receipt of the provisioning commands in order to monitor inputs to the optical receiver and detect an optical selection signal for selecting the fixture. Upon detecting an optical selection signal the fixture processes commissioning commands. The controller, upon determining that the provisioning commands have not been received, further configured for ignoring inputs to the optical receiver so the fixture cannot be selected and programmed with commissioning commands.
