  • Systems and apparatus for automatically deriving and modifying personal preferences applicable to multiple controllable lighting networks
    Patent number: 9814117
    Abstract: Systems and methods for deriving and modifying personal preferences related to at least one controllable lighting network are disclosed. The systems include a processor that can be used in conjunction with a personal communication device and a preferences database. The processor is used to detect an identifier for a user, a plurality of adjustments to the at least one controllable lighting network requested by the user, and a context corresponding to each of the plurality of adjustments. The processor in some such systems has an associated local memory to store the plurality of adjustments, corresponding contexts, and the identifier of the associated user. The processor is further used to analyze the plurality of lighting adjustments and the corresponding contexts. Based on the analysis, the processor identifies a correlation between the plurality of adjustments and the contexts, and create at least one personal preference rule associated with the user identifier based on the correlation.
