Abstract:
A system and a method for automatically creating and operating a functional association of multiple luminaires is proposed. The system consists of two or more devices that each contain one or more sensors, logic processing circuitry and communication circuitry that is able to transmit messages between devices. The set of devices that constitute the members of a functional association is selected from a larger set of candidate devices. The selection process involves each device comparing the sensor data received from neighbouring devices relating to occupancy and daylight sensors against the device's occupancy and daylight sensor data.

Claim (Index 1):
A control device for associating with one or more neighbouring control devices based on occupancy sensors, the control device comprises:\n a. a communications transceiver for sending and receiving communication signals with the one or more neighbouring control devices, that receives the signals when the one or more neighbouring control devices detects an occupancy event; b. an occupancy detector that detects an occupancy event upon the presence or absence of people in the vicinity of the control device; c. a processor for calculating the time difference between the detection of an occupancy event detected by the occupancy detector and the receipt of a signal when the one or more neighbouring control devices detects an occupancy event; and determining the degree of similarity between each of the one or more neighbouring control devices and the control devices and the membership of a group of control devices; d. a luminaire that operates on the basis of the occupancy detector and on the basis of the signals received from the one or more neighbouring devices that are members of the group of control devices.
