Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a light exposure monitoring system that includes a central control server; a plurality of indoor light exposure zones and a positioning system configured to communicate with the central control server to determine: a position (P) of an individual within the plurality of indoor light exposure zones, and a distance between a head of the individual and a floor within the plurality of indoor light exposure zones.
Claims19
A light exposure monitoring system comprising:
- a central control server;
- a plurality of indoor light exposure zones, each indoor light exposure zone comprising one or more light sources, each light source is configured to send illumination data to the central control server;
- and
- a positioning system configured to communicate with the central control server and to determine:
- a position (P) of an individual within the plurality of indoor light exposure zones, and
- wherein the positioning system comprises:
- one or more distance sensors configured to determine a current distance between a head of the individual and a floor within the plurality of indoor light exposure zones, each of the one or more distance sensors being associated with an indoor light exposure zone of the plurality of indoor light exposure zones;
- wherein the central control server is configured to:
- determine in which indoor light exposure zone among the plurality of indoor light exposure zones the individual is presently located based on the determined position (P) of the individual,
- determine light exposure data for the indoor light exposure zone, in which the individual is determined to be presently located in, based on the illumination data received from the one or more light sources of the indoor light exposure zone in which the individual is determined to be presently located and the determined current distance between the head of the individual and the floor of the indoor light exposure zone in which the individual is determined to be presently located, and
- accumulate the light exposure data to an actual light profile for the individual.
8 more elements
A method for accumulating light exposure data to an actual light profile for an individual, the method comprising:
- determining in which light exposure zone among a plurality of light exposure zones the individual is presently located;
- wherein the plurality of light exposure zones comprises an indoor light exposure zone, the indoor light exposure zone comprising one or more light sources;
- the method further comprising:
- determining a current distance between a head of the individual and a floor of the indoor light exposure zone in which the individual is determined to be presently located;
- receiving illumination data for the indoor light exposure zone from the one or more light sources;
- determining light exposure data for the light exposure zone in which the individual is determined to be presently located, wherein the light exposure data is determined based on the received illumination data from the one or more light sources of the indoor light exposure zone and the determined current distance between the head of the individual and the floor of the indoor light exposure zone in case the individual is determined to be presently located in the indoor light exposure zone;
- and
- accumulating the determined light exposure data to the actual light profile for the individual.
5 more elements
A central control server comprising:
- a control circuitry configured to:
- receive a position of an individual;
- determine in which light exposure zone among a plurality of light exposure zones the individual is presently located based on the received position of the individual;
- receive, from one or more distance sensors being associated with the light exposure zone in which the individual is presently located in, a current distance between a head of the individual and a floor;
- wherein the plurality of light exposure zones comprises an indoor light exposure zone, the indoor light exposure zone comprising one or more light sources;
- the control circuitry is further configured to:
- receive illumination data from the one or more light sources;
- determine light exposure data for the light exposure zone in which the individual is determined to be presently located in, wherein the light exposure data is determined based on the received illumination data from the one or more light sources of the indoor light exposure zone and the current distance between the head of the individual and the floor in case the individual is determined to be presently located in the indoor light exposure zone;
- and
- accumulate the light exposure data to an actual light profile for the individual.
