Abstract:
The examples herein offer an improved, more integrated implementation of lighting control and building management control, e.g. within the same gateway or cloud computing/control element(s), via an integrated software architecture. A visualization platform of the software architecture provides an integrated user interface via network communication of the computing element with a user terminal device. The integrated user interface offers the user an integrated view of status of building automation control (BAC) appliances and luminaires within the premises, as well as integrated access to control operations of the BAC appliances and the luminaires. For example, the overall system of integrated lighting and building management control may offer a ‘single pane of glass’ type user interface for lighting and other managed operations in the premises. Also, the architecture may utilize a broker for publish-and-subscribe communications, for exchange of information between lighting and building management application and with the visualization platform.

Claim (Index 15):
A lighting control and building management system, comprising:\n building automation control (BAC) appliances configured to implement a plurality of controllable operations within a premises and related status reporting; luminaires configured to implement controllable general illumination within the premises and related status reporting; at least one computing element, including a central processing unit and an interface for network communications with the BAC appliances and processors in or coupled to the luminaires; a building management application for execution by the at least one computing element for controlling and monitoring of the BAC appliances; a lighting application for execution by the at least one computing element for controlling and monitoring of the luminaires via communications with the processors in or coupled to the luminaires; and software means, executable on the at least one computing element, for providing a publish-and-subscribe communication framework between the building management application and the lighting application to allow the applications to share status and control information, while allowing the applications to respectively provide specialized building management and lighting functionalities.
