Referring to fig. 2, a graphic interface 600 for facilitating user operation may be presented on the portable device 200, and through the user graphic interface 600, a user may select an electronic function to be invoked and control more sub-interfaces for accessing the electronic function, and the user may operate digital interactive authentication between the portable device 200 worn and the street lamp 100 or other more street lamps 100 to make the current street lamp 100 provide a virtual digital telephone base station, and instruct street lamps 100 adjacent to the user's portable device 200 to provide a community telephone call service. Alternatively, the user may operate the portable device 200 to acquire data information related to the current community network or possibly interested by the user, such as common contact information, place and route directions, emergency call instructions, etc., from the street lamp 100 and transmit the acquired data information to a desired designated information receiver, or the user may operate the portable device 200 to control the interactive functions of multimedia and/or any other related large data traffic available at the street lamp 100 device of a specific section within the current community network.

In this embodiment: the street lamp 100 can be provided with a wireless communication module 101 capable of communicating with the portable device 200 in a short distance, and the effective communication range is 20 cm-2 m, and in fig. 1, the street lamp 100 is shown to be provided with the communication module 101. Likewise, other street light 100 devices that may be used in the listed embodiments of the present invention may have the same or equivalent electronic configuration, such as street lights 100 in certain road segments or geographic areas may be equipped with Microwave (MW) network modules and street lights 100 in other road segments may be equipped with Wi-Fi network modules, and the two street lights 100 may be connected wirelessly at a longer distance or over a larger range by relaying between peer-to-peer networks.

In this embodiment: the improved street light 100 structure may include street light 100 devices integrated with devices such as retail terminals, security and/or environmental monitoring/control devices, etc., upon which the street light 100 may communicate wirelessly with the portable device 200, such as using a protocol such as Near Field Communication (NFC), Bluetooth (BLE), or local Wi-Fi.

In this embodiment, the street lamps 100 and therebetween may be powered and in signal communication with each other through a buried electrical connection module 500, which electrical connection module 500 may provide wired communication connections of the street lamps 100 to other street lamps 100, for example, by using cables of appropriate specifications. For example, the electrical connection module 500 may be provided with an energy storage power source to emergency charge the portable device 200, a vehicle on which the portable device 200 is loaded, or additional equipment on the street light 100.

In this embodiment, the street light 100 is also provided with a larger storage device, which may be implemented, for example, using magnetic storage media, flash memory, other semiconductor memory (e.g., DRAM, SRAM), or any other non-transitory storage media, or a combination thereof, and may include volatile and/or non-volatile media. In some embodiments, the storage device may store multimedia items, such as audio/video files, image or artwork files for recall, contact information (name, address, phone number, etc.) about the user's needs, appointment event information about the user, notes, and/or other types of information. In some embodiments, the storage device may also store one or more applications to be executed by the processor installed in each street lamp 100, such as, for example, video interactive entertainment, personal information management, media playback, interfacing programs associated with particular street lamps 100 and/or street lamp 100 functions, and the like.

On this basis, the processors provided in the above embodiments comprise one or more proprietary integrated circuits, such as one or more single or multi-core microprocessors or Microcontrollers (MCUs). In the MCU performing operation, the built-in processing system may recognize an operation request from the portable device 200. In various embodiments, the processor described above may perform various program functions in response to received external program code, and may maintain (e.g., multithreaded processing) multiple concurrently executing programs or processes. At any given time, some or all of the program code to be executed may be cached in the processing subsystem and/or left in the storage device.

The Radio Frequency (RF) interface provided within the street lamps 100 described above is configured to provide near field wireless communication of the portable device 200 with each street lamp 100. The RF interface may include RF transceiver components (such as an antenna and its driving circuitry) to enable data communication or provide power by wireless radio frequency radiation, such as hardware components usable with RF interfaces using IEEE 802.11 series standards, Bluetooth SIG standards, or other protocols for wireless data communication, such as driving circuitry, antennas, modems, codecs, and other analog and/or digital signal processing circuitry in combination with embedded software. In some implementations, the RF interface may provide stable near field communication capabilities, such as implementing ISO/IEC 18092 standards, etc., NFC may support wireless data exchange between portable devices 200 within a distance of, for example, around 20 cm. A number of different wireless communication protocols and associated hardware may be incorporated into the RF interface.

The street light 100 is also provided with sensors and the environmental sensors 102 may include various electronic/mechanical devices, electromechanical devices, optical devices or device components that provide sensed information related to external environmental conditions surrounding the portable device 200. The environmental sensors 102 may provide sensed environmental variable digital signals to the respective processors of the street lamps 100, which stream or respond to polling of a plurality of street lamp 100 devices under an area coverage as required by a processor in another street lamp 100, based on media, according to the measured environmental variable digital signals. Preferably, any type of environmental sensor 102 and combination of such environmental sensors 102 may be used; for example, the environmental sensor 102 may be a light intensity sensor, a wind pressure sensor, a magnetometer, a gyroscope, a GPS receiver, and/or the like.

In this embodiment, some environmental sensors 102 may provide information about the travel of the portable device 200 in a localized position and/or motion. For example, an accelerometer may sense acceleration (relative to free fall) along one or more axes, e.g., using piezoelectric or other components in conjunction with associated electronics to generate a signal. A magnetometer may sense an ambient magnetic field (e.g., the earth's magnetic field) and generate a corresponding electrical signal that may be interpreted as a compass direction. Gyroscopic sensors may sense rotational motion in one or more directions, for example using one or more MEMS (micro-electromechanical systems) gyroscopes and associated control and sensing circuitry. A Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver may determine a location based on signals received from GPS satellites.

Other sensors may be included in addition to or in place of these examples. For example, a sound sensor may incorporate a microphone along with associated circuitry and/or program code to determine, for example, the decibel level of ambient sound. Temperature sensors, proximity sensors, ambient light sensors, etc. may also be included.

In this embodiment, the communication method includes:

step S1: when a portable device 200 worn by a user enters an effective radiation network region R2R1 generated by the street lamp 100, corresponding position data information (for example, position information of a marking module can be displayed on the user interface 600) from the street lamp 100 is received by the portable device 200, wherein the position data information and the initial position information acquired by the portable device 200 through, for example, a built-in positioning module thereof create a data association identifier.

In one embodiment, the processor of the street light 100 may be configured to perform a verification card processing procedure for the portable device 200 upon sensing the portable device 200 entering the active radiating network region R2R1, which may be used to receive and process analog card information records specific to the user's current initial location information (e.g., the portable device 200's own GPS location). The user location specific analog card information record may include, for example, a correlation (e.g., identity information) with the user's characteristics, at least in part, and depending on geographic data information available at the location of the street light 100 where the user is currently located. The verification card processing process may receive location, explanatory annotation information to determine what information content should be presented to the user and can present this information on the user interface of the portable device 200 or perform a new verification card processing process to provide the user with a new piece of verification information relating to the characteristics of certain buildings, streets, etc. in the current community network.

In this embodiment, the interface of the NFC connector of the street lamp 100 and/or other RF interfaces may be configured to support data synchronization operations for the portable device 200. In this synchronous operation, multimedia data can be transmitted from the street lamp 100 to the portable device 200. For example, the NFC-enabled street light 100 may be configured to set certain multimedia information for the portable device 200, such as a most common contact list and/or certain predefined text messages that may be sent, travel information, etc. When the user interface is operated by inputting data access, the user can view the desired customized information on the street lamp display 103 having a larger display interface, and then download the customized information to the portable device 200 through the data synchronization operation.

Alternatively, the data synchronization operations described above may also be used to download and/or update other types of data from particular access areas of the storage device, such as particular media items, application programs, and/or operating system programs. The data synchronization operation may be performed in response to a user's access request and/or automatically instigated to be performed, for example, in response to receiving a data update corresponding to the required synchronization information at the street lamp 100 when the portable device 200 resumes communication with the street lamp 100 at a particular location.

In this embodiment, the step S1 may further include the step of specifically operating the portable device 200 by the user to respond to the event information from the street lamp 100. The portable device 200 may be configured to receive event notifications within the community network from the street lamps 100 and send reminders or response prompts for the user. The event may be voice data information, short message text, or an operational response to a visual service provided by the community network that the portable device 200 needs to receive, generated by the processor of the street lamp 100. The specific operation of the user may be to directly wake up the portable device 200 by a specific input operation (such as natural language, double-click, arm-lift, etc.) to respond to and process the generated event.

Step S2: it is determined by the portable device 200 that the community data information available from the street lamp 100 within the active radiating network R1 is obtained by the data association identification. Wherein the acquiring further comprises determining the type of interactive communication between the street lamp 100 and the current portable device 200. In some embodiments, the effective geographic area boundary of the community may be defined by the street lights 100 and similar street light 100 devices. Thus, when the portable device 200 establishes communication with the street lamp 100, information about the community zone forming the boundary of the geographical zone, such as required payment information, geo-fence information and/or guidance inquiry, may be obtained.

In addition, the street lamp 100 may be equipped with a detachable wearing sensor to be worn specifically by a user entering the above-mentioned community network, which may include various electronic/mechanical devices, mechatronic devices, optical devices, or device components providing information about the portable device 200 confirming that the wearing sensor is currently being worn by the user. The wear sensor may be disposed at least partially in the pole of the street light 100 shown in fig. 1 and may detect whether it is fastened or unfastened, for example. Preferably, the control circuit of the wearable sensor is awakened to operate when the user is wearing and clasping on the limb, thereby allowing current to flow through the clasped sensor circuit, and conversely the control circuit is disconnected by releasing the clasping.

Additionally, one or more contact sensors may also be disposed in the wearable sensor and may detect contact with the user based on, for example, capacitive sensing, galvanic skin response, or the like. Such touch sensors may also include pressure sensors, such as piezoelectric sensing components and the like. Any other type of sensor that indicates whether the current user's portable device 200 is vibrating (e.g., the user is holding it and walking) may be used in addition to or instead of such a contact sensor. For example, a biosensor may be provided to sense that the user is walking, such as a pulse sensor, an ECG sensor, and the like. In a preferred example, the biometric sensor may also be used to verify authentication information of the wearer of the portable device 200, such as gestures, gait, and the like.

In the present embodiment, the electrical connection module 500 coupled to each of the street lamps 100 described above may be configured to control additional power management functions of the street lamps 100 other than the public lighting function, for example, to provide power distribution to the wearable sensor, the portable device 200 described above to effectively calculate the amount of power consumption, typically in daytime or in bright ambient light conditions. When the wearable sensor mounted on the street lamp 100 detects that the portable device 200 starts vibrating, the electrical connection module 500 can trigger the processor of the street lamp 100 to disconnect the communication with the portable device 200 by receiving feedback from the wearable sensor, without timing to acquire signal feedback of the portable device 200.

Alternatively, the processor may be configured to drive the RF interface into a sleep state to reduce power consumption. Thus, the street light display 103 or its accessories, RF interface, connector interface and/or environmental sensors 102 may also be controlled to adjust to a low power state or shut down completely, with the wearable sensors detecting the state of the user's portable device 200 continuously or at regular intervals.

On this basis, when the portable device 200 is continuously detected, after the data association identification is transmitted by the street lamp 100 to the wearable sensor, the wearable sensor is used to request the display and/or other components of the portable device 200 to enter the sleep mode and only the wearable sensor provides the display interaction of the user interface (such as the user interface) and only prompt information about the current community network, in combination with data information and/or acceleration metrics sensed by the environmental sensor 102, for example, as described above. If the portable device 200 is a watch, bracelet, or necklace worn on the user's body, the wearable sensor may detect, based on its accelerometer, such as the user's wrist being lifted or rotated, waving, etc., and such motion detection information can be used to assist in determining and correlating the user's motion. In response to the data correlating identification and user action detected by the wearable sensor, the electrical connection module 500 may be configured to wake up the street light display 103 and/or other sensors of the street light 100. On this basis, the electrical connection module 500 may be further configured to automatically turn off the street light display 103 into a sleep state in response to detecting that the user's wrist wearing the wearable sensor is naturally drooping.

Step S3: and acquiring the community data information through the determined interactive communication type and presenting the community data information through the portable device 200.

The wearable sensor may download an operation control for indicating when the portable device 200 is worn, for example, displayed as a virtual button or a confirmation switch on the user interface. Operational controls may also be provided to access an RF interface or any suitable connector interface on the street light 100 to directly turn on or off certain electronic functions of the street light 100, such as playing audio information. In an optimization refinement, the environmental sensors 102 of the street light 100 may also be used in place of the wearable sensors to determine the status of the portable device 200.

The environmental sensor 102 of the street light 100 is configured to estimate the distance between itself and the portable device 200. A Relative Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) may be obtained over the mesh version of the bluetooth protocol that enables the portable device 200 receiving the bluetooth signal to compare the actual signal strength from the street lamp 100 that transmitted the bluetooth signal to the standard signal strength associated with the street lamp 100 device located at the threshold distance to determine that the portable device 200 is present or in an adaptable state. Since the signal strength decreases with increasing distance, the portable device 200 may also use the RSSI to estimate the distance to the street lamp 100. Of course, other wireless communication protocols may provide similar embodiments and other additional techniques may also be used. In some cases, either the street light 100 or the portable device 200 (or a wearable sensor paired with the portable device 200) may perform the distance estimation and determine whether the other of the street light 100 or the portable device 200 is near any given time, and either device may communicate its determination to the other.

In this embodiment, the interactive communication type may be that the portable device 200 and the street lamp 100 significantly reduce data traffic generated by functions available on the portable device 200 through a mutually trusted interactive communication handshake. The portable device 200 and the additional devices in the street light 100 may create a pairing using, for example, bluetooth, NFC. When the devices are paired, the street lamp 100 can send a processing request for the generated event (e.g., providing traffic-free voice data information, digital message or multimedia message, etc. to the user within the community geofence) to the portable device 200 to present the corresponding reminder information to the user. The portable device 200 may also provide an operator interface that facilitates user input to respond to the alert, such as to make voice call data messages or to confirm receipt of text messages. In some embodiments, the portable device 200 may also obtain the operation of a mirror device such as the current street lamp 100 by initiating an access request to the street lamp 100 within the effective radiation area R1, wherein the street lamp 100 may be configured to determine, according to the above-mentioned type of interactive communication, to provide the portable device 200 with the operation required by the user, such as a retail merchandising device, to provide street lamps 100 within a larger range than the effective radiation network R1 of the current street lamp 100.

In this embodiment, the street lamp 100 may further be provided with an external display interface, and the display interface may include a display driven by the input/output interface and various sensors. A user may operate input devices of the user interface to invoke functions of the portable device 200 and may view, listen to, and/or otherwise experience output from the portable device 200 via output devices of the user interface.

In this embodiment, step S2 of the communication method may further include:

the street lamp 100 creates a wired/wireless communication connection with at least one other street lamp 100 within a predetermined area (e.g., a geo-fence determined through Global Positioning System (GPS) initialization, a predetermined wireless network coverage area, etc.) to acquire at least a portion of the content of the community data information. For example, the portable device 200 may receive an event notification from the street lamp 100 through the street lamp 100. The street lamp 100 may send a voice data message, text message or email message notification indicating the forwarding, or brief content thereof. Here, the portable device 200 may present a reminder to the user and may prompt the user for a response. The alert may include, for example, an audible alert, a vibration, a visual alert, or any combination of alerts. The prompts may include, for example, audio prompts (such as voice prompts), visual prompts on a display, and the like.

In an optimization refinement, the user may use the portable device 200 or a user interface of the wearable sensor paired therewith to select an option to obtain data information associated with each street lamp 100. The user interface of the portable device 200 may include a function selection module 601. The function selection module 601 may be a default interface that appears when the sensor-worn display is activated, or the function selection may be a different screen interface that the user accesses by touching a touch gesture or gesture sequence on the display (e.g., swipe and swipe), a hand (or arm) gesture detected by a motion sensor built into the sensor-worn, or other operation. The function selection module 601 may further include various virtual buttons that the user can select to invoke the attached electronic functions of the street lamp 100, such as a button for making a data phone call, a button for sending a text message, and a button for invoking a multimedia function of the street lamp 100. In this embodiment, the user may select options to place a video call or public video conference by selecting these virtual buttons.

On this basis, the street lamp 100 may be configured to receive and transmit audio signals related to the data information in the above embodiments so as to allow the user to communicate with the caller in the above community network without data traffic generated by the operator registered with the portable device 200 itself. The audio signals associated with the data information may include input audio signals (e.g., voice captured by a microphone and delivered to the street lamp 100 for transmission over the community network 300) and/or output audio signals (e.g., voice received at the street lamp 100 over a telephone network and transmitted to an external speaker device for playback). In some cases, the output audio signal and/or the input audio signal may also be sent to and/or received from (or both) the built-in speaker and/or microphone of the portable device 200. In other cases, the street light 100 may transmit audio to an external device such as a wired or wireless speaker device. All audio signals related to data information or actually any audio signals related to data information can be routed wirelessly through the street lamp 100. For example, the street lamp 100 may route input or output audio signals to/from other street lamp 100 devices than the street lamp 100 when receiving the input audio signals from the portable device 200, and the processor may be used to process part of the audio information in the created routing transmission path.

In particular, all data information related audio signals may be routed to and/or from devices other than the street lamp 100, in which case the street lamp 100 will not receive or transmit data information related audio signals, but will simply wait until the data information transmission is complete.

At least a portion of the community data information is data-coupled through the current street lamp 100 to be provided to the portable device 200.

In one embodiment, the street light 100 may make other electronic functions available to the user at the time of data message transmission. For example, the street light 100 can detect that the portable device 200 is approaching the street light 100. Such proximity means that the street lamp 100 is paired with the portable device 200 within a sufficiently short range and it is highly likely that the user wearing the portable device 200 is also within the effective radiation network area R2 of the street lamp 100. If the portable device 200 is a wrist worn smart watch and the street light 100 is a device overhead by the user, then the user wearing the portable device 200 and keeping the paired street light 100 is likely to be within the overlapping radiation range R3 of the two street light 100 devices. Therefore, a threshold distance for any street lamp 100 device and portable device 200 to approach each other can be set, for example, anywhere between 30-100 cm or 200cm, although other threshold distances can be specified within the power tolerance of the street lamp 100 device. In some implementations, whether two devices are in effective proximity may be determined by comparing a threshold distance to an estimated distance between the devices.

In this embodiment, the processor may also execute a security command process of the community network 300 that provides for the creation and maintenance of authenticated communication with the street lamps 100. Examples of such security instruction processes include that authenticated communications may provide different levels of security, and various interactions between the portable device 200 and the street lamp 100 may be performed depending on whether an authenticated communication handshake between the devices is included in the security instruction process. For example, upon determining whether an authenticated communication is in progress, the security command process may drive wake-up of the attendant electronic functions of the street light 100, for example, upon detecting the presence of overlapping radiation ranges R3 in the portable device 200. User data used for interaction or authentication may include, among other things, information specific to each user, such as identification information, user-specified settings and preferences, customization information (e.g., contacts, predefined text messages), and any other user-related data. In some embodiments, the executing application and process can access user data to activate the authentication operation.

On this basis, the portable device 200 may be paired with the street lamp 100, respectively. For example, standard bluetooth BLE pairing techniques or other techniques for creating a wireless connection between two devices may be used. Specifically, the initial pairing between the street lamp 100 and the portable device 200 includes a user operational interaction with the portable device 200 to confirm the pairing creation and generate. When the initial pairing is created, at any time as long as the two devices come within communication range and are operating their respective RF transceivers, they can automatically reconnect to each other without further user additional operational input.

In this embodiment, step S2 of the communication method further includes:

determining the number of other street lamps 100 required to be connected and/or the device type information according to the data association identifier, and coupling the device type information data into the data association identifier. For example, the portable device 200 may determine whether it is currently creating a pairing with a street lamp 100 that the user has paired away from and is approaching the street lamp 100. In some embodiments, the street light 100 may invoke the pairing process if the portable device 200 is not paired. As described above, creating an initial pairing on a street light 100 involves interacting with each of the two or more street light 100 devices and the user's portable device 200 to confirm what pairing should be created. If an initial pairing on the street light 100 is created, the two devices can automatically reconnect to each other at any time as long as they come within communication range of each other and are running their respective RF interfaces without further user reconfirmation operations.

A local area group associated with the current portable device 200 under the community network 300 is created according to the data association identification. For example, in response to receiving an access request from the portable device 200, the street lamp 100 may determine whether it is in a communicable handshake state.

In this embodiment, it may be determined that the portable device 200 is in a communicable handshake state as follows: (1) the portable device 200 is currently unlocked and has been biometric verified, which may be determined, for example, based on wearing sensors and/or other biometric or physiological sensors; (2) the proximity of the portable device 200 to the street lamp 100 at the time associated with the access request event and the use of the wearable sensors described above may be determined, for example, by determining, upon receipt, that the data association identifier was successfully transmitted and the time of creation. Preferably, a user identity identifier may also be assigned to the wearable sensor and a user ID login operation is performed at the street lamp 100 device.

In this embodiment, the communication method further includes: the number of other street lamps 100 and/or the change of the type of device to be connected is determined according to the type of interactive communication between the portable device 200 and the street lamp 100 currently being performed.
