Patent number: 9574934Abstract: An apparatus comprises a first light sensor configured with a first field of view; and a second light sensor configured with a second, narrower field of view contained within the first field of view. The first and second light sensors may be arranged to detect light reflected from an illuminated surface, wherein the first and second field of view encompass light from an electric lighting device reflected from said surface and additional light reflected from said surface, e.g. natural light; but the second light sensor is concentrated on a region on said surface so as to exclude glare from objects outside said region, whereas the first field of view extends beyond said region. An illumination level of the environment in which the apparatus is installed may be adjusted to compensate for a change in the additional light based on information distinguishing between the two sensors.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 2013Date of Patent: February 21, 2017Assignee: PHILIPS LIGHTING HOLDING B.V.Inventors: Petrus Antonius Verbeek, Michel Albertus Theodorus Klein Swormink, Roger Peter Anna Delnoij, Johannes Martinus Maria Hensing, Jurgen Mario Vangeel, Johannes Jozef Wilhelmus Kalfs

Patent number: 9554446Abstract: A controller comprising: presence detection logic, calibration logic, and an input for receiving a reading from a light sensor representing a sensed light level. The presence detection logic is for detecting presence events based on a presence sensor, and is configured to indicate a set-point to operate at least one lighting device in dependence on a positive detection of presence. The calibration logic is for performing a calibration operation, which is performed by causing a light output of the lighting device to change between a first, lower level and a second, higher level, and by and calibrating the set-point based on the reading from the light sensor under influence of the first and second levels. The calibration logic is configured to trigger this calibration operation in response to the positive detection of presence.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2014Date of Patent: January 24, 2017Assignee: PHILIPS LIGHTING HOLDING B.V.Inventors: Michel Albertus Theodorus Klein Swormink, Michiel Adriaanszoon Klompenhouwer, Marek Zbigniew Szczerba, Jurgen Mario Vangeel, Roger Peter Anna Delnoij, Johannes Martinus Maria Hensing, Petrus Antonius Verbeek, Johannes Jozef Wilhelmus Kalfs
