| Title: |
Selective Control of Lighting Devices |
| Abstract: |
In an arrangement of lighting devices (10), a remote control device (30)
and a central control device (20), a particular lighting device to be
controlled by means of the remote control device may be selected by a
user transmitting a selecting command (42, 43). When the central control
device receives the selecting command (44), it carries out a selection
sequence (45) during which it controls the lighting devices in one or the
other sequence so as to have their output change temporarily (45, 46,
47). If the remote control device, which is directed to the particular
lighting device (41), senses such an output change (50), it transmits
data representing such an event (51) to the central control device. When
the central control device receives such event data (52), it determines
the particular lighting device as that to which the remote control device
is directed (53) for subsequent control (54) of this particular lighting
device.
