Smart lamp system and method
View Patent ↗A smart lamp system and method for monitoring a status of light-emitting diodes (LEDs). The system can provide LED status monitoring using a logic controller communicating with at least one strip of LEDs. The system can utilize the logic controller to assign a unique identifier (ID) to the at least one strip of LEDs based on a physical position of a plurality of dual-inline package (DIP) switches incorporated within a smart lamp housing. The system can provide a hardware architecture to interface the logic controller with a power-line communication (PLC) transceiver. The system can establish a communication protocol between the PLC transceiver and a PLC receiver to efficiently communicate the statuses of the LEDs. The logic controller can generate a payload including a binary representation of the unique ID of the smart lamp and the statuses of the LEDs and transmit the payload to the PLC transceiver.
1 . A light-emitting diode (LED) system configured to control and monitor one or more smart lamps in various configurations, comprising:
a memory storing files, logs, or identification information related to one or more LEDs; and
a processor operably coupled to the memory and capable of executing machine-readable instructions of one or more modules or algorithms, including:
an LED input module configured to receive electrical signals corresponding to at least one LED for a smart lamp;
an LED identification module configured to identify the at least one LED based on an LED ID corresponding to each of the at least one LEDs;
an LED status module configured to identify a status of the at least one LED, wherein the LED status module receives inputs from each of the at least one LEDs indicating an ID and a status of the LEDs, wherein the inputs include a binary representation of an operable state of the LEDs or an inoperable state of the LEDs; and
an LED restart module configured to restart the at least one LED when the inputs are a binary representation of an inoperable state of the LEDs.
2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one LED corresponds with an electrical signal transmitted to the processor at a first voltage.
3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the first voltage can identify a manufacturer of the at least one LED.
4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the LED identification module includes information corresponding to the at least one LEDs present in the smart lamp.
5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the LED identification module can compare the LED ID to the LED information to identify LED strips.
6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the LED restart module is in communication with a button input on the one or more LEDs.
7 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising an LED reset module configured to restart the at least one LEDs by transmitting a reset instruction to the at least one LEDs.
