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 23):
The method for setting a value of an automatic timer for operating a motion activated security light according to  claim 19 , wherein if the statistical data base of the collected ultimate values are distinctly dividable into two groups of ultimate values with a first group of ultimate values centered around a low mean value and a second group of ultimate values centered around a high mean value, it indicates the security light are frequently used for both a pathway illumination need and an occupancy illumination need, in such case two automatic timers are required to be established for serving a dual mode motion sensing security light configured with a first illumination mode being the pathway illumination mode operated by a short automatic timer and a second illumination mode being the occupancy illumination mode operated with a long automatic timer, wherein a shutoff transition mode is designed to bridge between operating the pathway illumination mode and operating the temporary occupancy illumination mode, wherein when a motion intrusion signal is detected by the motion sensor, the controller manages to turn on the security light to perform a first high level illumination for a short time duration controlled by the short automatic timer, wherein upon a maturity of the short automatic timer the controller manages to enter the shutoff transition mode, wherein the first high level illumination is instantly reduced to a noticeably lower level illumination for a predetermined time period, wherein if a new motion signal is further detected by the motion sensor during the predetermined time period, the controller manages to immediately stop the shutoff transition mode and switch the security light to perform the second illumination mode with a second high level illumination for a long time duration controlled by the long automatic timer;\n wherein if no new motion signal is further detected the controller accordingly manages to turn off the security light at the end of the predetermined time period and the security light is reset for reacting to a new motion intrusion event.
