  • Patent number: 10357092
    Abstract: The present application relates to a shaving guidance system (10) for guiding a user during a shaving procedure, the system comprising an image sensor (30) configured to register an image of a part of the body of the user, an image data analyzer (41) configured to determine a local hair-growth direction based on data in the image, a controller (40) configured to generate instructions about a direction in which a hair cutting device (20) is to be moved in dependence on the determined local hair-growth direction, and a feedback system (130) configured to provide the instructions to the user.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9485840
    Abstract: A controller comprising a control module configured to: use a non-optical sensor to perform motion detection; in response to the non-optical sensor detecting motion whilst one or more lighting device is operating in a first state whereby the lighting device(s) illuminates an environment according to a first level or emits no light, control the lighting device(s) to operate in a second state whereby the lighting device(s) illuminates the environment according to a second level higher than the first level, use a light sensor to perform motion detection whilst the lighting device(s) is operating in the second state; if no motion is detected by the light sensor, control the lighting device(s) to operate in the first state or a further state; and in response to the light sensor detecting motion, control the lighting device(s) to illuminate the environment according to a third level higher than the second level.

  • Publication number: 20160198548
    Abstract: The invention provides a light control system for a lighting network, including a plurality of light units wherein at least one light unit includes at least one sensor type, a distributed/centralized controller/central management system in communication with one or more of the light units, said controller/central management system sends control commands to one or more of said light units, in response to received light unit status/sensor information from one or more of said light units and/or status information from a connected device, and implements a lighting strategy relating to the characteristics of the plurality of light units, wherein the one or more neighboring light units' sensor type's detection threshold are adjusted using a predetermined strategy based on the new lighting strategy of the at least one light unit or the status information from the connected device.

  • Patent number: 9320113
    Abstract: A method of self-calibrating a lighting device, comprising: —monitoring a calibration area, which encompasses at least a part of an area being illuminable by the lighting device; and—calibrating the light output settings of the lighting device. The monitoring operation includes repeating: —detecting any relevant change, out of a set of relevant changes comprising at least a light intensity change, in the calibration area during a monitoring time, while keeping the light output of the lighting device constant; and—determining an amount of change within the monitoring time; until the amount of change is below a limit value. Thereby the lighting device does not perform the calibration until it has detected a period of no or small changes.
