Abstract:
A portable lighting device control module configured to intuitively adjust lighting operations of a portable lighting device by interpreting real-time user gestures and external conditions of the portable lighting device to modifying lighting operations in response thereto. The control module installed within a portable lighting device may be configured to permit automatic dimming of front-end LEDs, enable a low power standby mode in absence of motion being detected, automatic mode adjustments in response to low battery determination, adjustment to lantern mode when a bump gesture is detected, continuous alternation between modes within lantern mode by detecting subsequent bump gestures, exiting lantern mode by detecting orientation, locking the lighting operation to a specific mode by determining orienting as either upwards or downwards, switching between modes by performing twist and return gestures, switching between modes by performing whip gestures, instantaneously dimming the light intensity by twisting the portable lighting device.

Claim (Index 1):
A lighting control module for use with a multipurpose lighting device comprising:\n a microcontroller having stored within memory a plurality of lighting device output modes; a battery power connection and a battery ground connection configured to receive power from a battery; an empty cavity including a top portion and a lower portion wherein the top portion is configured to receive and direct ambient light to an ambient light sensor disposed at the bottom of the lower portion, wherein the ambient light sensor is configured to measure light intensity external to the lighting control module and communicate the amount of ambient light detected to the microcontroller; an accelerometer/gyroscopic sensor configured to measure motion and orientation of the multipurpose lighting device and transmit an accelerometer/gyroscopic sensor output to the microcontroller; a first directional connection and a second directional connection configured to communicate with a first light source; a first area light connection and second area light connection configured to communicate with a second light source; the microcontroller having program logic configured to select one of the plurality of lighting device output modes and to initiate either the first light source or the second light source, and adjust one of the plurality of selected lighting device output modes using pulse width modulation brightness controls responsive to the ambient light sensor and the accelerometer/gyroscopic sensor output.
