Abstract
Examples of lighting equipment provide services to and on behalf of a biomechatronically enhanced organism and/or a biomechatronic component of the organism. Such services include charging, communications, location-related services, control, optimization, client-server functions and distributed processing functionality. The biomechatronically enhanced organism anchor biomechatronic component utilize such services provided by and/or via the lighting equipment to enable, enhance or otherwise influence operation of the organism.
Claims7
A lighting system, comprising:
- lighting devices, each lighting device comprising:
- a light source;
- a first communication interface comprising a wireless transceiver and configured to enable data communications;
- and
- a first processor coupled to communicate via the first communication interface and configured to control a lighting related operation of the respective lighting device;
- and
- a biomechatronic component for operation within or attached to a biomechatronically enhanced organism, the biomechatronic component comprising:
- an energy store;
- a charger coupled to the energy store and configured to utilize radiant energy provided by at least one of the lighting devices to charge the energy store;
- a second communication interface comprising a wireless transceiver and configured to enable data communications;
- and
- a second processor coupled to communicate via the second communication interface of the biomechatronic component and configured to control communications via the second communication interface of the biomechatronic component,
- wherein for each respective one of at least two of the lighting devices:
- the first communication interface of the respective lighting device is further configured to provide a wireless data communication link for use by the biomechatronic component within range of the respective lighting device;
- and
- the first processor of the respective lighting device is configured to control communications via the first communication interface of the respective lighting device to enable an exchange of data communications between the respective lighting device and the biomechatronic component.
