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 21):
The method of  claim 20 , further comprising:\n after determining whether the sampled audio is a human voice based upon the audio frequency level, calculating location information of the sampled audio of the human voice received from each of the plurality of microphones; comparing a phase of the audio received by the plurality of microphones using time, intensity and frequency of the sampled audio to determine an order of sound reception to each microphone in the area; and storing the order of sound reception information and identification information of the plurality of microphones from which the audio is received in a memory.
