Abstract:
System and method examples offer ways to count occupants in an area by sound. A system includes a data network, a light fixture having intelligent driver circuitry coupled to a light source, a lighting control device to control a light output and operations of the light source in an area, and a microphone coupled to the lighting control device. The lighting control device includes programming that configures a processor to control the microphone to sample and detect sound in the area, determine a location of the detected sound relative to a position of the microphone coupled to the lighting control device, and increment an occupant counter to correspond to each newly determined location of sound in the area for a predetermined period of time.

Claim (Index 14):
The method of  claim 12 , further comprising:\n receiving at least one of environmental data or sound data from a plurality of sensors arranged within the plurality of light fixtures or arranged within a sensor pod in the area accessible to each of the plurality of light fixtures; organizing the received at least one of environmental data or sound data into types of data; performing an analysis on the organized types of data to determine a prior occurrence of the data in the area; comparing results of the, analysis of the organized types of data to the stored order of sound reception information and the identification of the microphone; and transmitting, when the results of the analysis of the organized types of data are different from the stored order of sound reception information and the identification of the microphone, the results of the analysis of the organized types of data to a processor accessible to the plurality of light fixtures to enhance the comparison of the phase to the time, intensity and frequency of each sampled sound to determine the order of sound reception, wherein the order of sound reception represents the location of an occupant in the area.
