Abstract:
Lighting systems and methods for lighting fixture location mapping, for example, using a combination of photosensing readings and/or other sensors to identify a correct mapping. These systems and methods may be used to resolve ambiguities that could not be resolved using other processes, such an auto-commissioning method that identifies more than one possible mapping of the lighting fixtures to spatial locations. Such ambiguities are typically found in floor plans that are symmetrical. The systems and methods of the present invention record and utilize environmental profiles, such as ambient lighting levels and occupancy patterns, to match lighting fixtures to their respective spatial locations and provide resolution to ambiguities in an auto-commissioning method that identifies more than one possible mapping of the lighting fixtures to spatial locations.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for mapping a plurality of lighting fixtures to a plurality of spatial locations, each lighting fixture having a occupancy sensor, the method comprising:\n generating a first dataset corresponding to a first environmental profile for the plurality of lighting fixtures based on measurements by the occupancy sensor of each of the plurality of lighting fixtures, wherein the first environmental profile includes at least one of a distribution of occupant motion over time, a flow of occupancy traffic over a period of time, or a pattern of occupancy and motion over a period of time, and a second dataset corresponding to a second environmental profile for the plurality of spatial locations based on a floor plan including the plurality of spatial locations, wherein the second environmental profile includes an estimated occupancy profile for the lighting system based on the floor plan; identify one or more possible mappings of the plurality of lighting fixtures to the plurality of spatial locations; and when more than one possible mapping is identified, identifying a single mapping from the possible mappings based on matching the first dataset to the second dataset.
