Abstract
A system (41) for activating an infrared light source is configured to receive input indicating human presence in a space, determine a type and/or probability of the human presence based on the input, decide whether to activate an infrared light source (12) or a visible-light light source (11) in the space based on the type and/or probability of the human presence, and activate the infrared light source or the visible-light light source in dependence on the decision.
Claims11
A system for activating an infrared light source or a visible-light light source, said system comprising:
- at least one input interface;
- at least one control interface;
- and
- at least one processor configured to:
- receive, via said at least one input interface, input indicating human presence in a space,
- perform person identification based on said input and/or based on further input,
- determine a type of said human presence based on said input by determining whether said person identification resulted in a known and/or trusted person being identified,
- decide whether to activate an infrared light source or a visible-light light source in said space based on said type of said human presence, and
- activate, via said at least one control interface, said infrared light source or said visible-light light source in dependence on said decision.
A method of activating an infrared light source or a visible-light light source, said method comprising:
- receiving input indicating human presence in a space;
- performing person identification based on said input and/or based on further input,
- determining a type of said human presence based on said input by determining whether said person identification resulted in a known and/or trusted person being identified;
- deciding whether to activate an infrared light source or a visible-light light source in said space based on said type of said human presence;
- and
- activating said infrared light source or said visible-light light source in dependence on said decision.
