US Patent:

20200126384, Apr 23, 2020

Filed:

Dec 19, 2019

Appl. No.:

16/720321

Inventors:

- Conyers GA, US
John ENGLAND - San Francisco CA, US

International Classification:

G08B 13/24

Abstract:

Examples of systems and method track a location of an asset within a space using an asset tag location estimation system, track movement of a selected user, or user's mobile device, using a positioning system, and associate the tracked asset with the selected user, or user's mobile device, based on a determination of a trajectory of the asset and the mobile device. Trajectories of the user/mobile device and the asset tag may be determined by a backend server. The trajectory of the selected user/mobile device and the trajectory of the asset tag are compared by the backend server to determine a correspondence between the respective trajectories based on a predetermined correspondence criteria. The determined correspondence indicates that a user of the corresponding mobile device is moving the asset. In response to the determined correspondence, the backend server associates the asset tag to the selected user/mobile device in a database.

Appl. No.:

15/837158

Inventors:

- Conyers GA, US
John ENGLAND - San Francisco CA, US

International Classification:

H01Q 1/44
H05B 37/02
F21V 23/04
H01Q 1/42

Abstract:

The examples of luminaires include radio frequency (RF) circuitry, an antenna, a light source and a housing. The radio frequency circuitry is configured to emit or receive RF signals. The antenna is coupled to the RF circuitry and located at a back wall of the housing opposite a housing output aperture. The light source may be located at a housing perimeter closer in proximity to the output aperture. The light source may be configured to emit light for general illumination of a space. The housing encloses an RF radiation transparent volume substantially free of RF radiation interfering materials. The volume may extend from the antenna to the housing output aperture. Examples also include an RF transparent reflector to reflect light emitted by the light sources. Light and RF radiation may pass through the RF transparent volume and the housing output aperture.

Inventors:

- Conyers GA, US
John England - San Francisco CA, US

International Classification:

H05B 37/02
H05B 33/08

Abstract:

A lighting device or system is configured to control of one or more parameters of light output, such as ON/OFF status, intensity when ON, color characteristics and position or orientation of light output (e.g. via a motorized luminaire control). The device or system may have other output capability, e.g. display projection or audio. Sensors or other input devices are responsive to the user. Responsive to user input, sensed activity, and/or acquired information, the device or system, controls a light source in accordance with a lighting control function. Operation of the light source and the lighting control function may be modified based on learning by the device or system.

Assignee:

ABL IP HOLDING LLC - Conyers GA

International Classification:

G05B 13/02

Abstract:

An example of an intelligent lighting device or system is configured to control one or more parameters of light output, such as intensity, shape or distribution, color characteristics and position or orientation of light output (e.g. via a motorized luminaire control). The device or system may have other controllable output capability, e.g. display projection or audio. Sensors or other input devices are responsive to the user. Responsive to user input, the device or system, controls its light and any other output capabilities so as to present a defined persona to the user or other occupant(s) of a space illuminated by the intelligent lighting device or system.
