Abstract:
A security light technology to configure an automatically setting timer used for selecting and operating a light-on duration activated by a motion sensor is disclosed. The disclosed uses a shutoff transition mode to eliminate a hassle or hardship caused by an unexpected “shutoff” of illumination. The shutoff transition mode also serves a communication interface between the motion sensor and an occupant remaining in a detection space such that the occupant can interrupt the shutoff transition mode. The disclosed uses a software algorithm to detect and learn the motion characteristics of occupants in the detection space and thereby to automatically set a timer to operate the light-on duration triggered by a motion intrusion. The disclosed also teaches a dual mode motion sensing light configured with a short timer to manage a pathway illumination and a long timer to manage an occupancy illumination bridged by the shutoff transition mode.

Claim (Index 20):
The method for setting a value of an automatic timer for operating a motion sensor activated security light according to  claim 19 , wherein the operating timer escalation algorithm is designed with an initial value t(0) of the operating timer to start an iteration process by using the recurring formula to increase the value of the operating timer t(n) controlled by a sequence number n signifying nth motion intrusion, with n=0, 1, 2, . . . , wherein when a nth motion signal is detected by the motion sensor, the controller manages to turn on the security light to perform a high level illumination for a time duration of t(n), wherein upon a successful expiration of t(n) the security light is either turned off or reduced to a lower level, wherein if the security light is reactivated within a predetermined time period indicating an occupant remaining in the detection space, the controller accordingly manages to instantly resumes the high level illumination and at the same time to change the value of the operating timer from t(n) to t(n+1) in response to a (n+1)th motion being detected according to the recurring formula of the iteration process, wherein such iteration process continues for a number of times till the ultimate value of the operating timer is identified such that the light will not be turned off so long as the occupant remains in the detection space and the light will only be turned off when the operating timer with the ultimate value successfully expires without being renewed.
