Abstract:
A lighting system includes luminaires each having a light source for providing illumination in a space and a radio frequency identification (RFID) antenna. An RFID reader is coupled to the RFID antennas in all the luminaires. The RFID reader may transmit at least one RFID intended recipient message from at least one of the antennas and receive a responsive RFID reply message from a recipient device within the space via a plurality of the antennas. The RFID reader may determine a signal attribute of a reply message signal received via each receiving antenna. The determined signal attributes of the reply message signals received via antennas and information about locations of the receiving antennas are processed to estimate a position of the recipient device within the space.

Claim (Index 1):
A lighting system, comprising:\n a plurality of luminaires located within a space, wherein each luminaire of the plurality of luminaires includes:\n a light source configured to provide general illumination light to the space, and an antenna configured for wireless radio frequency communication within the space; and \n a radio frequency identification reader, the radio frequency identification reader comprising:\n a reader processor to control operation of the radio frequency identification reader; \n a reader radio frequency transceiver coupled to the reader processor; \n a selectable antenna interface coupled to the processor and the reader transceiver, the antenna interface being configured to selectively couple each antenna of the plurality of luminaires within the space to the reader transceiver; and \n a data storage device storing a unique identifier for each antenna; \n \n wherein the reader processor is configured to perform functions, including functions to, iteratively, for each respective one or more of the antennas in each of the luminaires:\n control the selectable antenna interface to selectively couple the respective one or more antennas to the reader transceiver; \n control the reader transceiver to transmit an intended recipient message from a selected antenna of the respective one or more antennas for reception by an intended recipient device, wherein the transmitted intended recipient message contains the unique identifier of the selected antenna and an address of the intended recipient device within the space; \n in response to the transmitting of the intended recipient message, receive via at least one of the respective one or more antennas a reply message from the intended recipient device; obtain a signal attribute of the received reply message; and maintain a record in the data storage device for each iteration, the record including the obtained signal attribute in association with the unique identifier of the selected antenna and the intended recipient address.
