Patent number: 9474129Abstract: A behavior management system includes a lighting system formed of a light source, a first detector, a second detector, a controller, a storage device and an output device. The light source is configured to light a display space for displaying articles and a passage space facing the display space. The first detector is configured to detect human presence or absence in the passage space. The second detector is configured to detect whether a human passes through or stops in the passage space. The controller is configured to control the light source based on detection results by the first and second detectors. The storage device is configured to store histories of detection results by the first and second detectors. The output device is configured to supply an external management device with histories of detection results by the first and second detectors stored in the storage device.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2014Date of Patent: October 18, 2016Assignee: Panasonic Intellectual Property Management Co., Ltd.Inventor: Shigemi Fushimi

Patent number: 9232601Abstract: The lighting system includes lighting devices and a controller of the lighting devices. The controller includes a display unit and a storage unit which stores area information including target areas in which the lighting devices are arranged, the identification information of the lighting devices, the lighting information regarding different lighting conditions of the lighting devices, and scene setting information regarding a state change pattern for changing a lighting state of one or more lighting devices allotted to each target area. The control unit controls the display unit to display a scene operation screen having pictorial signs each indicating one piece of scene setting information, and selects, if one of the pictorial signs is touched, a corresponding scene setting information represented by the pictorial sign, and controls the display unit to display a state change pattern of each lighting device allotted to the selected piece of scene setting information.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2013Date of Patent: January 5, 2016Assignee: Panasonic Intellectual Property Management Co., Ltd.Inventor: Shigemi Fushimi

Patent number: 9060391Abstract: A lighting system has lighting apparatuses and a controller for the lighting apparatuses. The controller includes a display unit and a storage unit that stores attribute information. The storage unit stores, as attribute information, area information including a target area where the lighting apparatuses are installed, identification information of the lighting apparatuses in the target area, and lighting information on lighting conditions of the lighting apparatuses. The display unit displays a first operation screen that includes a first graphic generated from the area information and the identification information, and a second operation screen that includes a second graphic generated from the lighting information. The second operation screen is displayed as a dialog, so as to be superposed on the first operation screen, and the first graphic indicating the selected lighting apparatus and the peripheral area thereof is highlighted on the first operation screen.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2013Date of Patent: June 16, 2015Assignee: PANASONIC INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT CO., LTD.Inventor: Shigemi Fushimi

Publication number: 20150123547Abstract: A lighting system includes: a light source for lighting display and passage spaces; a first detector for detecting presence or absence of part of a human body in a first detection area; and a second detector for detecting human presence or absence in a second detection area. The second detection area contains a whole or part of the passage space. The first detection area is nearer to the article than the second detection area. A controller controls the light source so that: in a case of detecting human absence in which both of the first and second detectors detect human absence, the light source is operated at a reduced light output level; if the second detector detects human presence, illuminance in the display space is increased; and if the first detector detects human presence, illuminance in each of the passage space and the display space is increased.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 26, 2014Publication date: May 7, 2015Inventor: Shigemi FUSHIMI
