In some embodiments, the lighting control system 110 can compare the acquired current time to a preset time for determining the current lighting control mode. In some embodiments, the lighting control system 110 can obtain the current time in accordance with the particular implementation depicted in FIG.

In step 904, the lighting control system 110 can determine whether the current time is within a time period (also referred to herein as a "waking up period") corresponding to the wake-up mode. In some embodiments, the wake up period can be a predetermined time range, for example, 7:00 am to 8:00 am. The wake-up time period may be preset by the system, the user inputs through the input/output interface 240 or the mobile device 160, or the system adaptively adjusts according to the user's light adjustment operation.

The lighting control system 110 can send a control command corresponding to the parameter that the operation performs the operation to the light control circuit 140 before the one or more operations are performed. The light control commands may control one or more of the circuit components in the light control circuit 140 to perform one or more operations at a set time, such as turning lights on, increasing power to a specified value, and the like.

As an example, performing the operation of the wake-up mode may include the light control system 110 turning on one or more lighting devices at a certain time (eg, 7:50) within a preset wake-up time period (7:00 to 9:00), and During a subsequent period of time (eg, 8 minutes), the brightness of the one or more illumination devices is adjusted to gradually increase from an initial value (eg, 1%) to a preset value (eg, 80%). When the brightness is increased to a preset value, the lighting control system 110 can make the ambient light intensity reach a normal value (such as 30,000 lux) by continuously adjusting the brightness of the light. In some embodiments, the light control system 110 can acquire the current ambient light intensity through the sensor 130 and calculate the brightness of the light to be adjusted according to the preset ambient light intensity. In some embodiments, the light control system 110 can acquire data of the sensor 130 in real time, adjusting the brightness of the one or more lights based on the data of the sensor. Specific embodiments of adjusting the illumination intensity value and adjusting the brightness of the light according to the preset value can be referred to other parts of the application, as shown in Figures 15A and 15B and its description.

It should be noted that the above description of the flow of the lighting control system 110 to determine and execute the wake-up mode is merely a specific embodiment and should not be considered as the only feasible solution. Obviously, various modifications and changes in form and detail may be made to the process or algorithm without departing from the principles of the invention. However, these modifications and changes are still within the scope of the above description. For example, when the lighting control system 110 adjusts the one or more lighting devices, the one or more lighting adjustment operations are not performed if the lighting device is already in an open state.

The sleep time period may be preset by the system, the user inputs through the input and output interface 240 or the mobile device 160, or the system adaptively adjusts according to the user light adjustment operation. If the lighting control system 110 determines that the current time is in the sleep time period, the flow proceeds to step 1006; if it is determined that the current time is earlier than the sleep time period, the flow returns to step 1002, and the lighting control system 110 continues to acquire the time.

In some embodiments, the control instructions may be sent to the light control circuit 140 in the form of electrical signals, data, or the like.

As an example, performing the sleep mode may include the light control system 110 beginning to gradually decrease one or more lights at a certain time (eg, 22:50) within a preset sleep period (22:00 to 24:00). Power, during a subsequent period of time (eg, 10 minutes), adjusting the one or more lights to gradually decrease from the current brightness (eg, 60%) to a preset value (eg, 1%). When the brightness is reduced to a preset value, the lighting control system 110 can turn off the corresponding lighting device. In some embodiments, when the lighting control system 110 adjusts the one or more lights, the one or more lighting adjustment operations are not performed if the lighting device is already in a closed state. In a In some embodiments, the light control system 110 can acquire a light adjustment operation of the user and correct the light operation and related parameters corresponding to the sleep mode based on the light adjustment operation. For example, the user performs a light-off operation at a certain time (eg, 22:30) during the sleep time period, and the light control system 110 can acquire the operation information, and adjust the corresponding light-off time parameter in the sleep mode based on the user operation information.

Step 1102 can include the light control system 110 obtaining the current time. The current time may be provided by the clock module 230 or input from outside the system. The acquisition of the current time may be real time or intermittent. In some embodiments, the lighting control system 110 can compare the acquired current time to a preset time for determining the current lighting control mode. In some embodiments, the specific implementation of the lighting control system 110 to obtain the current time is similar to FIG. 9 and its description.

In step 1104, the lighting control system 110 can determine whether the current time is within a time period corresponding to the night mode (also referred to herein as a "nighttime period"). In some embodiments, the night time period may be a preset time range, for example, 0:00 to 7:00. The night time period may be preset by the system, the user inputs through the input and output interface 240 or the mobile device 160, or the system adaptively adjusts according to the user's light adjustment operation. In some embodiments, the night time period can be between the sleep time period and the wake up time period. In some embodiments, the light control system 110 can enter the night mode immediately after the end of the sleep mode. In some embodiments, there may be a time interval between the nighttime period and the sleep period and the wake-up period. If the lighting control system 110 determines that the current time is in the night time period, the flow proceeds to step 1106; if it is determined that the current time is not in the night time period, the flow returns to step 1102, and the lighting control system 110 continues to acquire the time.

Step 1106 can include the light control system 110 determining the night mode as the current light control mode. Night mode is the light control mode when the user sleeps, and can monitor and respond to the user's movement at night (such as getting up at night). While in the night mode, the sensor 130 can acquire motion information in the environment. In some embodiments, sensor 130 may acquire motion information in the environment in real time or intermittently. For example, a microwave sensor can acquire motion information in an environment in real time by transmitting continuous waves to the environment. For another example, the microwave sensor can intermittently acquire motion information in the environment by transmitting a plurality of pulse waves to the environment. The plurality of pulse waves may be transmitted at equal or unequal intervals. Based on the motion information acquired by sensor 130, lighting control system 110 can perform one or more lighting adjustment operations.

The lighting control system 110 determines that the current mode is a night mode, which may include determining a method of acquiring and processing motion information, one or more lighting adjustment operations based on the motion information, parameters for performing the operation, and the like. Sports Information acquisition and processing methods may include sensor parameter settings, sensor signal processing methods, and the like. In some embodiments, based on the continuous motion acquired by the sensor, the lighting control system 110 can determine one or more lighting adjustment operations and parameters to perform the operations. A specific implementation for determining the continuous motion can be referred to the description in step 1112. The one or more lighting adjustment operations may include turning one or more lighting devices on or off, increasing or decreasing the lighting device power, and the like. The operational execution parameters may include the time at which the operation was performed, the preset ambient light intensity, the preset light brightness, and the like. For example, the method of acquiring or processing the motion information may include the type of signal transmitted by the sensor, whether to transmit and acquire signals in real time, gain, analog to digital conversion, filtering, duration of motion, amplitude of motion, continuity of motion, and the like. The one or more operations may include turning on the lighting device, adjusting the brightness of the lighting device to a preset value, turning off the lighting device, and the like. The operational execution parameters may include a time to turn on the lighting device, a preset light brightness value, a time to adjust the light brightness to a preset value, a light continuous lighting time, a time to turn off the lighting device, and the like.

The method for acquiring and processing motion information, the one or more light operations and operation execution parameters may be preset by a system, user input, system adaptive adjustment, or the light control system 110 processes the acquired sensor data to obtain .

Step 1108 can include the light control system 110 acquiring motion information in the environment. The motion information can be obtained by one or more sensors. In some embodiments, the sensor can be a microwave sensor. The lighting control system 110 can acquire motion information in the environment based on the acquisition method determined in step 1106. In some embodiments, the light control system 110 can acquire motion information in the environment by transmitting microwave signals to objects in the environment and receiving microwave signals reflected by objects in the environment. The microwave waveform reflected by the stationary object may be a smooth or slightly varying microwave waveform; the amplitude and frequency of the microwave signal returned by the moving object reflection may vary over time. The relationship of the microwave signal with time can be related to the motion state of the object, such as direction, amplitude, time, continuity, motion speed, and the like. In some embodiments, the lighting control system 110 can set one or more parameters to obtain motion information in the environment. The one or more parameters may include microwave transmit and receive frequency bands, power, microwave transmit angle, signal transmit and receive frequencies, and the like.

Step 1110 can include the light control system 110 processing the acquired motion information. The lighting control system 110 can process the acquired motion information based on the processing method determined in step 1106. In some embodiments, the motion information may be in the form of an analog signal or a digital signal. Methods of processing the motion information may include analog to digital conversion, discretization, high pass filtering, signal denoising, Fourier transform, z transform, wavelet transform, fitting, interpolation, integration, and the like. In some embodiments, the light control system 110 can determine an object by the processing method The time of exercise, the magnitude of exercise, the continuity of movement, etc.

In some embodiments, the light control system 110 may identify regularly moving objects (such as fans, etc.) in the environment by Fourier transform and exclude the effects of the regular moving objects by filtering. In some embodiments, the light control system 110 can determine whether the moving object is a human body through other sensors, thereby eliminating the effects of animals such as pets at home. For example, the light control system 110 can identify the contour aspect ratio of the image of the moving object through the infrared sensor to determine whether the moving object is a human body.

In step 1112, the light control system 110 can determine if there is continuous motion. In some embodiments, the light control system 110 can determine whether there is continuous motion by analyzing one or more factors such as the time of motion of the object in the environment, the magnitude of the motion, and the continuity of the motion. In some embodiments, the light control system 110 can determine whether there is a continuous motion by one or more thresholds or ranges of values. The threshold or range of values may be related to the type of sensor, signal processing mode, surrounding environment, and the like. In some embodiments, the threshold or range of values may include one or more voltage magnitudes (eg, 1700 mV), exercise time (eg, 30 s), degree of motion continuity (eg, 60%), and the like. For example, if the time in the voltage curve is higher than 1700 mV for more than 60% in 30 seconds, it is determined that there is continuous motion. If the lighting control system 110 determines that the athletic information includes continuous motion, the flow proceeds to step 1114; if the lighting control system 110 determines that the athletic information does not include continuous motion, the flow returns to step 1116.

Step 1114 can include the light control system 110 controlling the respective lighting device to open. The lighting control system 110 can turn on the respective lighting device based on one or more of the lighting control operations determined in step 1106 and the parameters that perform the operations. In some embodiments, the lighting control system 110 can turn the lighting device on when the continuous motion is detected, and gradually increase the power of the lighting device to a certain predetermined brightness. For example, the lighting control system 110 can illuminate the light with a brightness of 1%, and gradually adjust the brightness of the light to the brightness set by the user in the next 10 seconds. In some embodiments, after the brightness of the light reaches a preset value, the light continues to illuminate for a period of time with a preset brightness. The flow may return to step 1104, and the light control system 1104 continues to determine whether the current time is at night time. In some embodiments, the time during which the light is continuously illuminated may be preset by the system, user input, or the system is obtained by some algorithm. For example, the time when the light is first illuminated with the preset brightness can last for 3 minutes. If the user continues to move, the time when the light is again illuminated with the preset brightness can last for 6 minutes.

Step 1116 can include the light control system 110 turning off the corresponding lighting device. The lighting control system 110 can turn off the respective lighting device based on one or more of the lighting control operations determined in step 1106 and the parameters that perform the operations. In some embodiments, the light control system 110 can turn off the phase when no continuous motion is detected. Lighting equipment should be. For example, the light control system 110 can count down to 10 seconds when no continuous motion is detected, and then gradually dim the light from the preset brightness value to off within 5 seconds. After the light is turned off, the flow can return to step 1104 and the light control system 1104 continues to determine if the current time is at night time. In some embodiments, the lighting control system 110 may not perform step 1116 when no continuous motion is detected and the light is in an extinguished state.

12 is an exemplary flow diagram of a lighting control system determining and executing an exit mode, in accordance with some embodiments of the present application. Step 1202 can include the light control system 110 obtaining a time period for the user to leave. The lighting control system 110 can obtain a time period during which the user leaves from the input output interface 240 or through the mobile device 160. In some embodiments, the user can determine the time period of departure by entering or selecting two dates. For example, the user can select September 20th and September 22nd in the calendar, and the lighting system can determine that the user leaves the time range from September 20th to 22nd. In some embodiments, the user can determine the time period of departure by entering the number of days left. For example, the departure time period that the user can input on September 20 is 3 days, and the lighting control system 110 determines that the user leaves the time range from September 20 to 22. In some embodiments, the lighting control system 110 can set the user departure time period according to actual conditions. For example, if the user's lighting adjustment operation is not received during the night and the user's motion information is not detected, the lighting control system 110 may set a subsequent time period (eg, 3 days) as the departure time period. The lighting control system 110 may turn off the exit mode until the user's light adjustment operation is acquired or the user's motion information is detected.

Step 1204 can include the light control system 110 obtaining the switch light time. The switch light time may be the time during which the light control system 110 turns the lighting device on or off according to the setting during the user's departure time period. The switch light time can be one time (such as 19:00) or a time range (such as 19:00-22:00). The switch light time can be preset by the system, user input, or the system is obtained by analyzing the user's switch light habit. For example, the lighting control system 110 can turn on one or more of the lighting devices at a default turn-on time (eg, 19:00) and turn the lighting device off by the sleep mode. For another example, the lighting control system 110 can prompt the user to input the switching light time through the input/output interface 240 or through the mobile device 160 after acquiring the user's departure time range. As another example, the lighting control system 110 can determine the switching light time by statistically analyzing the user history switch light time stored in the memory 250.

Step 1206 can include the light control system 110 obtaining the current time. The current time may be provided by the clock module 230 or input from outside the system. The acquisition of the current time may be real time or intermittent. In some embodiments, the lighting control system 110 can compare the acquired current time to a preset time for determining the current lighting control mode. In some embodiments, the lighting control system 110 obtains the actual time of the current time. The manner of application is similar to that of Figure 8 and its description.

In step 1208, the lighting control system 110 can determine if the current time is within the departure time range. If the lighting control system 110 determines that the current time is in the departure time period, the flow proceeds to step 1210; if it is determined that the current time has exceeded the departure time period, the flow proceeds to step 1216, and the lighting control system 110 turns off the leaving mode.

Step 1210 can include the light control system 110 determining the exit mode as the current light control mode. The lighting control system 110 determining that the current mode is the exit mode may include determining the one or more lighting adjustment operations and parameters for performing the operations, and the like. In some embodiments, the one or more light conditioning operations can include turning one or more lighting devices on or off, increasing or decreasing the lighting device power, and the like. In some embodiments, the operational execution parameters may include the time at which the operation was performed, the preset ambient light intensity, the light level, and the like. For example, the one or more operations can include turning the lighting device on or off. The operational execution parameters may include the time at which the lighting device is turned on or off, the preset ambient light intensity, and the like. The lighting control system 110 can determine the time to turn the lighting device on or off based on the information obtained in step 1204. In some embodiments, the ambient light intensity can be set to a normal light intensity value.

In step 1212, the lighting control system 110 can determine whether the current time has reached a preset lighting adjustment time. If it is determined that the current time reaches the preset lighting adjustment time, the process proceeds to step 1214, the lighting control system 110 controls the switch of the corresponding lighting device; if it is determined that the current time has not reached the preset lighting adjustment time, the flow returns to step 1206, and the lighting control system 110 Continue to get time.

Step 1214 can include the light control system 110 controlling the switches of the respective lighting devices at a predetermined lighting adjustment time. In some embodiments, the light control system 110 can adjust the light based on one or more of the light operations determined in step 1210. In some embodiments, the lighting control system 110 can switch the lighting device and/or adjust the power of the lighting device at a preset lighting adjustment time.

In step 1216, the lighting control system 110 can turn off the away mode. The lighting control system 110 may turn off the leaving mode if it is determined that the current time exceeds the user's preset departure time period. In some embodiments, the light control system 110 may turn off the exit mode by acquiring user input from the input output interface 240 or detecting user motion information by the sensor 130 during a predetermined departure time period.

It should be noted that the above description of the process by which the lighting control system 110 determines and executes the exit mode is merely a specific embodiment and should not be considered as the only feasible solution. Obviously, for those skilled in the art, after understanding the basic principles, it is possible to form the process or algorithm without departing from this principle. And various corrections and changes in the details. However, these modifications and changes are still within the scope of the above description. For example, when in the exit mode, the lighting control system 110 can effect switching of the lighting state of the lighting device and adjustment of the power level by performing other one or more lighting control modes, such as a preset sleep mode and a wake-up mode.

13 is an exemplary flow diagram of a light control system determining and executing an action monitoring mode in accordance with some embodiments of the present application. Step 1302 can include the light control system 110 acquiring motion information. The lighting control system 110 can acquire motion information in the environment by a method similar to that described in FIG. The light control system 110 can pass the motion information by one or more sensors 130. In some embodiments, the one or more sensors can include a microwave sensor. In some embodiments, the light control system 110 can acquire motion information in the environment by transmitting microwaves to objects in the environment and receiving microwaves reflected by objects in the environment. The relationship of the reflected microwave signal over time can be related to the motion state of the object, such as direction, amplitude, time, continuity, speed of motion, and the like. In some embodiments, the lighting control system 110 can set one or more parameters to obtain motion information in the environment. The one or more parameters may include microwave transmit and receive frequency bands, power, microwave transmit angle, signal transmit and receive frequencies, and the like. In some embodiments, the light control system 110 can continuously acquire motion information in the environment through the sensor 130.

Step 1304 can include the light control system 110 processing the motion information. The lighting control system 110 can process the motion information by a method similar to that described in FIG. In some embodiments, the method of processing the motion information may include analog to digital conversion, discretization, peak filtering, discrete Fourier transform, fast Fourier transform, fitting, integration, and the like. For example, through the analog to digital conversion method, the lighting control system 110 can convert the acquired analog waveform signal into a digital signal for subsequent processing. As another example, by Fourier transform, the lighting control system 110 can convert the time domain signal to a frequency domain signal, excluding portions of the fixed frequency of the motion information. In some embodiments, by the processing method, the light control system 110 can determine the time of movement of the object, the magnitude of the motion, the continuity of the motion, and the like.

In step 1306, the light control system 110 can determine if there is a moving object. In some embodiments, the light control system 110 can determine whether the moving object is a human body through other sensors, thereby eliminating the effects of animals such as pets at home. For example, the light control system 110 can identify the contour aspect ratio of the image of the moving object through the infrared sensor to determine whether the moving object is a human body. The light control system 110 can determine whether a moving object is present by one or more thresholds or ranges of values. The threshold or range of values may be related to the type of sensor, the manner in which the signal is processed, the object in the environment, and the like. In some embodiments, the threshold or range of values may be a microwave signal amplitude of 1700 mV or the like. If it is judged that there is a moving object at the current position, the flow proceeds to the step 1308, the lighting control system 110 determines that the current mode is the motion monitoring mode; if it is determined that there is no moving object at the current location, the flow returns to step 1302, and the lighting control system 110 continues to acquire motion information in the environment. In some embodiments, the moving object may be a human body or other object such as a door and window or the like.

Step 1308 can include the light control system 110 determining the motion monitoring mode as the current lighting control mode. The motion monitoring mode can monitor the user's behavior of entering a room or area and determine one or more lighting adjustment operations and parameters to perform the operations based on the behavior. The one or more lighting adjustment operations may include turning one or more lighting devices on or off, increasing or decreasing the lighting device power, and the like. The operation execution parameters may include a time when the operation is performed, a preset light intensity value, a light brightness value, and the like. For example, the one or more operations in the motion monitoring mode can include turning the lighting device or the like on or off. The operational execution parameters may include a time when the lighting device is turned on, a preset light brightness, a time when the light is continuously lit, a time when the light is turned off, and the like. The one or more light operations and parameters for performing the operations may be predetermined by a system, user input, or by the light control system 110 using a certain algorithm.

Step 1310 can include the light control system 110 turning on the corresponding lighting device. The lighting control system 110 can turn on the corresponding lighting device based on parameters such as the lighting time determined in step 1308, the preset lighting brightness, and the like. In some embodiments, if the light control system 110 determines that a moving object is present, the motion monitoring mode can be performed immediately and the corresponding lighting device turned on. The lighting control system 110 can open the lighting device with a certain brightness value. In some embodiments, the preset brightness value may be a usual brightness value set by a user. In some embodiments, the light control system 110 can acquire the current ambient light intensity through the sensor 130 and calculate the brightness of the light to be adjusted according to the preset ambient light intensity. In some embodiments, the light control system 110 can acquire data of the sensor 130 in real time, and adjust the brightness of the one or more lights to achieve a predetermined ambient light intensity based on the data of the sensor.

In some embodiments, the light can be illuminated for a period of time. The continuous lighting time may be determined by step 1308. In some embodiments, the time during which the light is continuously illuminated may be a determined period of time. For example, the continuous lighting time can be set to 30 minutes. In some embodiments, the time during which the light is continuously illuminated may be dynamically adjusted according to actual conditions. For example, when lighting is first lit, the continuous lighting time can be set to 30 minutes. Within 3 minutes after the light is extinguished, if it is illuminated again due to the trigger action monitoring mode, the time for the light to continue to light up can be extended by 30 minutes; if the light is not extinguished within 15 minutes, it is not illuminated by the trigger action monitoring mode. , can shorten the continuous lighting time by 30 minutes.

Step 1312 can include the lighting control system 110 turning off the corresponding lighting settings after the duration Ready. The lighting control system 110 can turn off the lighting device based on parameters such as the time of turning off the lights determined in step 1308. After the lighting device is turned off, the flow returns to step 1302, and the lighting control system 110 continues to acquire motion information in the environment.

14 is an exemplary flow diagram of a lighting control system determining and executing a learning mode in accordance with some embodiments of the present application. Step 1402 can include the light control system 110 acquiring a user light adjustment operation. The user light adjustment operation may include one or more light operations input by the user. In some embodiments, the one or more lighting operations can include turning one or more lighting devices on or off, increasing or decreasing the lighting device power, and the like. The lighting control system 110 can obtain user operations from the input and output interface 240 or through the mobile device 160. In some embodiments, the lighting control system 110 can obtain parameters for the execution of the operation. For example, when the user continuously adjusts the brightness of the light, the light control system 110 can obtain the time during which the user adjusts the operation, the brightness value of the light at the end of the user adjustment, or the ambient light intensity value.

Step 1404 can include the light control system 110 obtaining the current time. The current time may be the time at which the operation is performed. The current time acquired by the lighting control system 110 can be provided by the clock module 230 or input from outside the system. The acquisition of the current time may be real time or intermittent. In some embodiments, the specific implementation of the lighting control system 110 to obtain the current time is similar to FIG. 9 and its description. In some embodiments, the lighting control system 110 can store the current time with the acquired user lighting adjustment operations. In some embodiments, the stored location may be memory 250, or a server or database connected via network 150, and the like. In some embodiments, the lighting control system 110 can compare the acquired current time to a preset time period corresponding to one or more lighting control modes for determining a current lighting control mode.

In step 1406, the light control system 110 can determine whether it is currently in a certain light control mode. If in one or more light control modes, the flow proceeds to step 1408, and the light control system 110 determines a correction amount of the corresponding parameter in the mode based on the acquired user operation; if not in any one of the light control modes, the flow proceeds to step 1412, the light Control system 110 can create new modes.

Step 1408 can include the light control system 110 determining a correction amount for the corresponding parameter in the mode based on the acquired user operation. The lighting control system 110 can compare the acquired user operations and the time at which the operations were performed with one or more lighting operations in the current mode and parameters that perform the operations. The comparing can include comparing a light operation entered by the user with a light operation associated with the current mode. In some embodiments, the light control system 110 can compare two identical light operations. For example, when currently in the sleep mode, the light control system 110 can obtain the user's light-off operation (the light-off operation is earlier or later than the preset light-off time), and The user's turn-off operation is compared to the light-off operation in the sleep mode. In some embodiments, the comparing can include comparing two different lighting operations. For example, when currently in the wake-up mode, the light control system 110 acquires the user's light-off operation (the light-off operation is later than the preset light-on time) when the light-on operation is performed, and the user's light-off operation and the light-off can be turned off. The time is compared with the preset turn-on operation in the wake-up mode to determine a turn-on time that suits the user's habits. For another example, when the night light mode is currently in use, the light control system 110 can adjust the user's light power operation and the nighttime after acquiring the user's adjusted light brightness operation (eg, the brightness of the light after the operation or the ambient light intensity is lower than a preset value). The preset operation of turning on the lights in the mode is compared to determine the brightness of a light that is in accordance with the user's habits.

Based on the comparison, the lighting control system 110 can determine the amount of correction for the operational execution parameters. In some embodiments, the operational execution parameters may include brightness of the light, ambient light intensity, operation execution time, light duration, time when the light is adjusted to the preset brightness, and the like. In some embodiments, the amount of correction can be a constant. In some embodiments, the amount of correction can be related to a difference. For example, the difference between the user's turn-off time and the preset light-off time of the light control system 110, the difference between the brightness adjusted by the user and the preset brightness, and the like. The correction amount may be equal to the difference, be in a proportional relationship, form a quadratic function relationship, and the like. In some embodiments, the relationship of the amount of correction to the difference may be related to the frequency of the user adjustment operation obtained. For example, when in the motion monitoring mode, when the user performs the light-off operation, the light control system 110 monitors that the duration of the light (5 minutes) is shorter than the preset light duration (30 minutes), and the preset light can be continued. The time is adjusted to 25 minutes. When the light control system 110 acquires a similar operation again in a short time (for example, within 3 hours), the preset light duration can be adjusted to 15 minutes.

Step 1410 can include the light control system 110 to correct the parameters. The lighting control system 110 can correct the parameters associated with the operation based on the amount of correction determined in step 1408. In some embodiments, upon completion of the correction, the flow returns to step 1402 and the light control system 110 continues to acquire the user light adjustment operation. In some embodiments, the lighting control system 110 can acquire user operations at any time and perform a learning mode.

Step 1412 can include the light control system 110 creating a new mode. When one or more user lighting adjustment operations are acquired, the lighting control system 110 can create a new mode if not in any of the light control modes. Step 1414 can include the light control system 110 determining a light adjustment operation in the new mode and a parameter to perform the operation based on the acquired user operation and the time the operation was performed. In some embodiments, one or more of the lighting adjustment operations and parameters for performing the operations in the new mode may be the same as the user's lighting adjustment parameters.

15A is an exemplary flow diagram of preset ambient light intensity, in accordance with some embodiments of the present application. Step The 1502 can include a lighting control system 110 that captures user adjustments to the power of the light. The lighting power adjustment operation may include increasing/decreasing the lighting power or setting the lighting power to a fixed value. In some embodiments, the light control system 110 can obtain the user operation in the current light control mode and adjust the preset value of the ambient light intensity accordingly. After the adjustment is completed, the light control system 110 can continue to perform the light adjustment operation in the current light control mode.

In some embodiments, the light power adjustment operation can be a continuous adjustment operation. For example, the lighting control system 110 can acquire an operation in which the user continuously adjusts power through the knob. In some embodiments, the light power adjustment operation can be an intermittent adjustment operation. For example, the lighting control system 110 can acquire a non-continuous regulated power operation by a user via a button, button, or touch screen.

Step 1504 can include the light control system 110 adjusting the brightness of the light based on the acquired user operation. Based on the user's operation to increase or decrease the brightness of the light, the lighting control system 110 can adjust the power of the lighting device accordingly to adjust the brightness of the light. In some embodiments, the lighting control system 110 can adjust the operation of the light power by the user in real time and increase or decrease the power of the light accordingly.

Step 1506 can include the light control system 110 obtaining a stabilized ambient light intensity. The light control system 110 can detect ambient light intensity values through one or more sensors 130. In some embodiments, the one or more sensors can include a light intensity sensor. The illumination intensity sensor can detect the ambient light intensity value in real time and determine the change of the illumination intensity value over time.

In some embodiments, the light control system 110 may determine that the current detected value is a stabilized ambient light intensity value when it is detected that the ambient light intensity value tends to be steady or changes slightly over time. For example, when the amplitude of the detected value changes over time within 1 minute is ±5%, the lighting control system 110 can determine that the average of the detected values within the one minute is the stabilized ambient light intensity. In some embodiments, the light control system 110 can detect the ambient light intensity by the light intensity sensor when the user's light power adjustment operation is interrupted for more than a certain time, or switch to other operations, and take the average value over a period of time as a stable state. Ambient light intensity value.

Step 1508 can include the light control system 110 maintaining the ambient light intensity value. The lighting control system 110 can save the ambient light intensity values obtained in step 1506 to the memory 250, or save to a server or database or the like via the network 150. The ambient light intensity value can be used as a usual light intensity value in accordance with user habits. The ambient light intensity value can be used in one or more light adjustment modes. In some embodiments, the ambient light intensity value may be a preset value of the ambient light intensity in the wake mode, the night mode, the away mode, and the motion monitoring mode.

15B is an exemplary flow diagram of a light control system adjusting light brightness based on preset light intensity values, in accordance with some embodiments of the present application. Step 1552 can include the light control system 110 obtaining a preset value of the ambient light intensity. In some embodiments, the lighting control system 110 can determine a preset value for ambient light intensity when determining one or more lighting control modes. The preset value may be preset by the system, user input, or system adaptive adjustment. In some embodiments, the lighting control system 110 can obtain the preset value by acquiring a value entered by the user or an adjustment operation to the power of the light. In some embodiments, the light control system 110 can obtain a light intensity preset value in accordance with the embodiment depicted in FIG. 15A.

Step 1554 can include the light control system 110 obtaining the current ambient light intensity. The light control system 110 can detect ambient light intensity values through one or more sensors 130. In some embodiments, the one or more sensors can include a light intensity sensor. The ambient light intensity obtained by the illumination intensity sensor may be a numerical value, a curve that changes with time, or the like. In some embodiments, the illumination intensity sensor can acquire a current ambient light intensity value and send the illumination intensity value to the light control system 110. In some embodiments, the illumination intensity sensor can acquire a plurality of illumination intensity values over a period of time. In some embodiments, the light control system 110 can acquire the plurality of light intensity values and obtain a current ambient light intensity value by one or more algorithms. The one or more algorithms may include averaging, taking the median, taking the maximum, and the like.

Step 1556 can include lighting control system 110 to calculate the brightness that the light needs to achieve. The lighting control system 110 can calculate the brightness value that the light needs to reach by the preset value and the current value of the ambient light intensity. In some embodiments, the lighting control system 110 can calculate a difference between a preset value of the ambient light intensity and a current value. Based on the difference, the lighting control system 110 can calculate the brightness that the light needs to adjust. In some embodiments, the relationship between the difference and the brightness that the light needs to adjust can be controlled by a factor. The coefficients may be related to the number of light sources, the location, the angle of emission, the reflection of objects in the environment, and the like. In some embodiments, when the number, position, angle of emission, etc. of the light source are constant, the difference may be maintained in a linear relationship with the brightness that the light needs to adjust (ie, the coefficient is constant). For example, in an indoor environment, when the type, number, position, interior furniture, natural light, etc. of the light source remain unchanged, the difference may be maintained in a fixed relationship with the brightness that the light needs to adjust.

Step 1558 can include the light control system adjusting the brightness of the light based on the calculated value. In some embodiments, the light control system 110 can increase or decrease the brightness of the light by adjusting the power of the corresponding lighting device.
