Abstract

The present disclosure provides intelligent lighting control systems for adjusting a user interface on a mobile electronic device. A user input requested via the user interface to change a lighting state of one or more light emitting elements in a luminaire connected to a lighting control system communicably coupled to a server system is detected. A transaction identification (ID) code is generated on the mobile electronic device. A display of an icon displayed in the user interface is changed. The icon depicts a status of the one or more light emitting elements. The transaction identification code and a request to change the lighting state to be transmitted from the mobile electronic device to the server system. A change notification received by the server system is analyzed to determine if it includes the transaction ID code. The display state of the icon is either changed on maintained based on the analysis.

Claims (20)

1. A method for adjusting a user interface on a mobile electronic device, the method comprising:

detecting a user input requested via the user interface to change a lighting state of one or more light emitting elements in a luminaire connected to a lighting control system communicably coupled to a server system, the server system communicably coupled to the mobile electronic device;

generating a transaction identification (ID) code on the mobile electronic device in response to detecting the user input requested via the user interface on the mobile electronic device;

causing, in response to detecting the user input, a display of an icon displayed in the user interface to change a display state, the icon depicting a status of the one or more light emitting elements;

causing the transaction ID code and a request to change the lighting state to be transmitted from the mobile electronic device to the server system;

determining whether a change notification is received by the server system, if received at all by the server system, in response to a change in the lighting state of the one or more light emitting elements includes the transaction ID code generated on the mobile electronic device; and

at least one of:

maintaining the change of the display state of the icon in response to determining that the change notification includes the transaction ID code generated on the mobile electronic device, and

changing the display state of the icon to a prior display state or another display state in response to determining that the change notification received by the server system is devoid of the transaction ID generated on the mobile electronic device.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein changing the display state comprises changing a color of the icon.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the icon comprises an animation.

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the animation includes a pulsing animation.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the transaction ID code is generated via a random number value generator.

6. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising erasing a prior transaction ID code generated on the mobile electronic device in response to at least one of:

determining that the change notification includes the transaction ID code generated on the mobile electronic device, and

detecting the user input requested via the user interface to change the lighting state of the one or more light emitting elements.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein changing the display state of the icon to another display state in response to determining that the change notification received by the server system is devoid of the transaction ID generated on the mobile electronic device comprises determining the lighting state of the one or more light emitting elements based on the change notification.

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the user input includes changing the lighting state between at least one of an on state and an off state.

9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the user input includes changing a brightness of one or more lights.

10. The method according to claim 1 , wherein any subsequent transaction ID codes generated within a pre-specified period of time of generation of the transaction ID code are generated as an increment of the transaction ID code.
