An Intelligent Lighting System using a Smartphone as an Illuminance Sensor Sho Kuwajima , Shohei Matsushita , Mitsunori Miki , Hisanori Ikegami , Yohei Azuma , and Hiroto Aida Graduate School of Science and Engineering, Doshisha University, Kyoto, Japan Department of Science and Engineering, Doshisha University, Kyoto, Japan Abstract— The authors have engaged in research and de- [8]. The effectiveness of Intelligent Lighting System has velopment of an Intelligent Lighting System which realize already been recognized and verification experiments have individual illuminance required by workers with minimum been conducted at real offices in Tokyo and Fukuoka. These power consumption. As an Intelligent Lighting System use experiments verified that the system can individually realize illuminance sensors for illuminance control, smartphones illuminance levels preferred by workers while cutting down with a built-in illuminance sensor may be used for this on energy consumption. purpose. This can reduce the initial cost for introducing In Intelligent Lighting System, an illuminance sensor is an Intelligent Lighting System as well as realize easier set on each worker’s desktop; based on the illuminance maintenance. For that purpose, in this study, we examined measurements by these sensors, the brightness (luminance) the possibilities of an Intelligent Lighting System using of the office lighting fixtures are controlled by an opti- built-in illuminance sensors in smartphones.
