Abstract:
There is described a method for controlling a light intensity of a given light source in a light network comprising other light sources. The method comprises providing a detector having a field of view (FOV) and operably connected to the given light source for controlling a light intensity of the given light source. The method further comprises using the detector to detect if there is a change, according to a first pattern, in a light intensity of at least one of the other light sources, thereby detecting that a neighbor became a master. In response to detecting such a change, the light intensity of the given light source is changed according to a second pattern, thereby becoming a slave. The detector can also detect if there is a movement in the FOV, in which case light intensity of the given light source is changed according to the first pattern, thereby becoming a master.

Claim (Index 20):
An apparatus for controlling a light intensity of a given light source in a light network comprising other apparatuses, the apparatus comprising:\n a microphone having a detection range and being adapted to collect sound data from a sound source located within the detection range; a communication module adapted to receive external data from at least one of the other apparatuses; a control unit, operably connected to the microphone, to the communication module and to the given light source, for controlling the light intensity of the given light source, the control unit being adapted to:\n receive sound data from the microphone and external data from the communication module; \n compare the sound data and the external data to determine a location of the source; and \n if the sound source is determined to be closer to the apparatus than to any one of the other apparatuses, change the light intensity of the given light source to an operating mode.
