Claim 9:
10. A method for operating a proximity-detecting device, the method comprising:
receiving from originating lighting nodes, wireless identification signals comprising respective lighting-node identification information;
determining a signal-strength value indicative of a received signal power amount of the identification signal of the respective originating lighting node;
upon determining that the received-signal-strength value exceeds a predetermined proximity threshold value associated with the originating lighting node, generating and providing a proximity-information signal indicative of the originating lighting node being located within a predetermined proximity area of the proximity-detection device; and
upon determining fulfilment of a pre-stored threshold-updating criterion for updating a given proximity threshold value for a given originating lighting node, wherein the threshold-updating criterion comprises one or more updating-conditions associated with the node identification information of the received identification signals, updating the proximity threshold value for the given originating lighting node, for redefining the proximity area associated with the given originating lighting node.
