Abstract:
An apparatus ( 11 ) for the remote control of lighting apparatuses, in particular emergency lighting apparatuses ( 12 ), comprising a transmitter apparatus provided with at least one white light source having controlled activation, a receiver device used as a receiver of digital optical signals ( 16 ), which integrates a control, programming and management system managed by a software program ( 14 ), and a lighting apparatus ( 12 ), which incorporates a receiving circuit comprising a receiver photosensor ( 13 ); the transmitter apparatus is constituted by a smartphone ( 11 ), which actuates optical commands directed at the lighting apparatus ( 12 ), in a form of encoded luminous messages or intensity- and duration-controlled sequences of light variations according to a specific optical code and at different levels of luminosity, by means of a modulating process of the switching-on and the switching-off of the light source integrated in said smartphone ( 11 ).

Claim (Index 17):
A control method for the remote control of lighting apparatuses, in particular emergency lighting apparatuses, wherein said apparatuses comprise a transmitter apparatus represented by a flash ( 10 ) or display ( 19 ) of a smartphone ( 11 ) having controlled activation, a receiver device used as a receiver of digital optical signals ( 16 ) which integrates a control, programming and management system managed by a software program ( 14 ), and a lighting device ( 12 ), which incorporates a receiving circuit comprising a receiver photosensor ( 13 ) associated with a decoding and control circuit able to interface with the operating circuits of said lighting device ( 12 ) so as to remotely carry out tests and/or functions of said lighting device ( 12 ) via said transmitter apparatus, and wherein said smartphone ( 11 ) actuates optical commands directed at said lighting device ( 12 ), in the form of encoded luminous messages of intensity- or duration-controlled sequences of light variations according to a specific optical code and various levels of luminosity, by means of a modulating process of the switching-on and the switching-off of said flash ( 10 ) or display ( 19 ) of the smartphone ( 11 ), and wherein an algorithm is configured to reset a correct sequence of said optical commands, which is naturally distorted by times of delay or latency to which said flash ( 10 ) and/or display ( 19 ) of the smartphone ( 11 ) is subjected,\n characterised in that said control method includes the following steps:\n conversion from a sequence of bits into a modulation of said flash ( 10 ) of the smartphone ( 11 ) and, therefore, into periods of switching-on and switching-off of said flash ( 10 ) according to the determined optical code and via an autonomous thread that is separate from the main management thread of said software program ( 14 ), \n analysis of the characters of said string, so as to decide, on the basis of the value of \u201c0\u201d or \u201c1\u201d, which transition of said flash ( 10 ) from switching-on to switching-off or from switching-off to switching-on, to carry out.
