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 8):
A method of operating a lighting device, the method comprising:\n detecting within a module incorporated into the lighting device a gesture movement of the lighting device and an external movement proximal to the lighting device; b) selectively powering a first light source and a second light source within the module responsive to detection by the module of a predefined one or more gesture movements performed by a user of the lighting device; c) selectively placing the module in a hibernation state if no gesture movement and no external movement is detected by the module for a designated period of time; d) selectively setting an output mode and adjusting light output to either the first light source or the second light source based upon an output gesture movement detected by the module; e) selectively setting a light mode within the output mode based upon a light mode gesture movement detected by the module, wherein external movement proximal to the lighting device is detected by an ambient light sensor in communication with an empty cavity including a top portion and a lower portion wherein the top portion is configured to receive and direct ambient light to the ambient light sensor, and wherein the module continuously adjusts brightness of the first light source or second source responsive to ambient light detected from the ambient light sensor and supersedes a previously set light mode.
