Abstract
A portable lighting device comprises at least one light source arranged to emit light to illuminate an environment of the portable lighting device; at least one sensor arranged to provide a sensor output signal; and a control module arranged to receive the sensor output signal from the at least one sensor. The control module is configured to: detect user manipulation of the portable lighting device; control the light emitted based on the detected user manipulation; detect translational movement of the portable lighting device; and control the light emitted from the at least one light source based on the translational movement.
Claims14
A portable lighting device comprising:
- at least one light source arranged to emit light to illuminate an environment of the portable lighting device;
- at least one sensor, each of the at least one sensor arranged to provide a sensor output signal;
- and
- a control module arranged to receive the sensor output signal from each of the at least one sensor, wherein the control module is configured to:
- detect user manipulation of the portable lighting device relative to a support surface on which the portable lighting device is supported based on one or more of the at least one sensor output signal;
- and
- control the light emitted from the at least one light source based on the detected user manipulation;
- detect translational movement of the portable lighting device relative to said support surface based on one or more of the at least one sensor output signal;
- and
- control the light emitted from the at least one light source based on the detected translational movement.
A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium having code embodied thereon and being configured so as when executed by a processor of a portable lighting device comprising at least one light source arranged to emit light to illuminate an environment of the portable lighting device, and at least one sensor, each of the at least one sensor arranged to provide a sensor output signal, to:
- detect user manipulation of the portable lighting device relative to a support surface on which the portable lighting device is supported based on one or more of the at least one sensor output signal;
- control the light emitted from the at least one light source based on the detected user manipulation,
- detect translational movement of the portable lighting device relative to said support surface based on one or more of the at least one sensor output signal;
- and
- control the light emitted from the at least one light source based on the detected translational movement.
