  • Lighting unit with near field communication, integrated circuit and methods therefor
    Patent number: 9742474
    Abstract: A lighting unit is described comprising: a microcontroller; and a near field communication (NFC)-enabled embedded device comprising NFC shared memory configured to be written to by both an external NFC reader/writer using near field communication and the microcontroller and configured to enable an operation of the lighting unit to be both monitored and controlled using NFC.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 8, 2016
    Date of Patent: August 22, 2017
    Assignee: Telensa Limited
    Inventors: Jonathan Simon Green, Philip Alan Bowden, Adam Sutton
  • Lighting unit with near field communication, integrated circuit and methods therefor
    Patent number: 9743498
    Abstract: A lighting unit having a microcontroller; and a near field communication (NFC)-enabled embedded device comprising NFC shared memory configured to be written to by both an external NFC reader/writer using near field communication and the microcontroller and configured to enable an operation of the lighting unit to be both monitored and controlled using NFC. In this manner, the operation of a lighting unit may be monitored using NFC and controlled by using one of two approaches, such as via a microcontroller within the lighting unit and/or a near field communication, NFC, via the NFC-enabled embedded device; wherein the microcontroller is configured to manage a communication protocol to facilitate communications between the lighting unit and at least one other NFC-enabled device.
