Light component coordination
View Patent ↗A light coordination system for coordinating the operation of multiple lights systems/devices in multiple public safety vehicles is provided. The system includes a detection component that detects at least one vehicle and/or at least one light device on the at least one vehicle, a mode component in communication with the detection component that changes an operating mode of the system based on information from the detection component, an analysis component in communication with the mode component and the detection component that generates a light coordination scheme based on information from the detection component and the mode component, and an implementation component that implements the light coordination scheme.
1. A system for operating light systems, comprising:
a plurality of communication devices that detects and communicates with at least one light device;
a manual control device that controls the operation of the at least one light device based on the communication of the plurality of communication devices with the at least one light device; and
a mode component in communication with the plurality of communication devices that changes an operating mode of the system based on information from the plurality of communication devices,
wherein the plurality of communication devices includes a plurality of sensors, a plurality of transmitters, and a plurality of receivers, and
wherein the operating mode includes a normal mode wherein the sensors are actively sensing at least one vehicle and the plurality of transmitters and the plurality of receivers are not transmitting and receiving signals respectively.
2. The light coordination system of claim 1 , wherein the operating mode includes a coordination mode wherein the sensors are actively sensing the at least one vehicle and the plurality of transmitters and the plurality of receivers are transmitting and receiving signals to and from the at least one light device respectively.
3. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a light coordination scheme generated from information from the plurality of communication devices and the mode component.
4. The system of claim 3 , further comprising an activation/deactivation device that automatically activates/deactivates the at least one light device based on the light coordination scheme.
5. The light coordination system of claim 1 , wherein the manual control device is an electronic remote device.
6. The light coordination system of claim 5 , wherein the electronic remote device is a key fob.
7. A system for operating light systems, comprising:
a plurality of communication devices that detects and communicates with at least one light device;
a manual control device that controls the operation of the at least one light device based on the communication of the plurality of communication devices with the at least one light device; and
a mode component in communication with the plurality of communication devices that changes an operating mode of the system based on information from the plurality of communication devices,
wherein the plurality of communication devices includes a plurality of sensors, a plurality of transmitters, and a plurality of receivers, and
wherein the operating mode includes a coordination mode wherein the sensors are actively sensing at least one vehicle and the plurality of transmitters and the plurality of receivers are transmitting and receiving signals to and from the at least one light device respectively.
8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the operating mode includes a normal mode wherein the sensors are actively sensing the at least one vehicle and the plurality of transmitters and the plurality of receivers are not transmitting and receiving signals respectively.
9. The system of claim 7 , further comprising a light coordination scheme generated from information from the plurality of communication devices and the mode component.
10. The system of claim 9 , further comprising an activation/deactivation device that automatically activates/deactivates the at least one light device based on the light coordination scheme.
11. The light coordination system of claim 7 , wherein the manual control device is an electronic remote device.
12. The light coordination system of claim 11 , wherein the electronic remote device is a key fob.
