Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zur Steuerung einer Lichtquelle bei Ein- und Durchschlafstörungen.The invention relates to a method and a device for controlling a light source at input and Maintaining sleep.

Eine Kinderzimmer-Beleuchtungssteuerung, die mit einer einstellbaren Geschwindigkeit das Licht abdimmt und bei Geräuschen die Beleuchtung wieder einschaltet, ist aus der US 3 898 383 (1) bekannt. Bewegungsmelder mit helligkeitsgesteuerten Beleuchtungsmitteln sind in der DE 198 01 065 A1 beschrieben. Eine geräusch- und bewegungsgesteuerte Anwesenheits-Beleuchtungseinrichtung ist in der US 5 701 117 A (2) offenbart. Beleuchtungseinrichtungen mit einem Bewegungssensor, der die Beleuchtung beim Aufstehen aus dem Bett oder bei Betreten des Raumes einschaltet, sind aus der DE 197 46 194 A1 bekannt. Eine in vorwählbaren Zeiträumen steuerbare An- und/oder Ab- Dimm- Beleuchtungseinrichtung mit einstellbaren Lichtintensitäten für Kinderzimmer, die auf Geräusche und/oder auf Bewegung reagiert, ist aus der nachveröffentlichten EP 1 209 411 A2 bekannt.A children's room lighting control that dims the light at an adjustable speed and switches the lighting back on when there is noise is out of the question US 3,898,383 ( 1 ) known. Motion detectors with brightness-controlled illuminants are in the DE 198 01 065 A1 described. A noise and motion controlled presence lighting device is in the US 5,701,117 A ( 2 ) disclosed. Lighting devices with a motion sensor, which switches on the lighting when getting up from bed or entering the room, are out of the DE 197 46 194 A1 known. A controllable on and / or off-dimming lighting device with adjustable light intensities for children's rooms, which reacts to noises and / or to movement, is from the post-published one EP 1 209 411 A2 known.

In der medizinischen Fachliteratur wird die Beeinträchtigung des Wachstums der Augen durch während der Nacht ständig erhellte Schlafräume diskutiert. Ein Beleuchtungssystem, welches sich in Ruhesituationen automatisch abschaltet und Bedarfssituationen automatisch erkennt und sich dann selbst aktiviert, wäre eine wünschenswerte, die Augen schützende Neuerung.In the medical literature becomes the impairment of eye growth through during the night all the time brightened bedrooms discussed. A lighting system that can be used in quiet situations automatically switches off and automatically detects demand situations and then activating itself would be a desirable, eye-protecting innovation.

Dieses Problem wird durch ein Verfahren mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 und eine Vorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 2 gelöst.This problem is resolved through a process with the features of claim 1 and a device with solved the features of claim 2.

Die Erfindung wird anhand der 1 bis 3 näher erläutert:The invention is based on the 1 to 3 explained in more detail:

1: Nach voreinstellbarer initialer Hellzeit (1.1) dimmt das System gemäß voreingestellter Ab-Dimmgeschwindigkeit (1.2, 1.7, 1.12) die Lichtintensität herab bis auf ein vorwählbares unteres Helligkeitsniveau (evtl. Dunkelheit) (1.3, 1.8, 1.13, y-Achse). Nach über Bewegungsmelder und oder Mikrofon aufgenommenen Umgebungsreizen Pfeile) (Reizschwellen und Reizhäufigkeit bis zur Reaktion des Systems voreinstellbar) dimmt das System gemäß voreingestellter An-Dimmgeschwindigkeit (1.5, 1.10) entweder sofort nach Reizwahrnehmung oder nach voreinstellbarer „Latenzzeit" (1.4, 1.9, t-Achse) das Licht hoch bis zur vorgewählten oberen Helligkeitsschwelle (1.6, 1.11, y-Achse). Die Helligkeit bleibt über einen vorgewählten Zeitraum erhalten (intermittierende Hellzeit, 1.6, 1.11, t-Achse), sodann reduziert das System die Helligkeit erneut über ein Ab-Dimmsystem, gemäß voreingestellter Ab-Dimmgeschwindigkeit (1.7, 1.12) auf das vorgewählte untere Helligkeitsniveau. Die Refraktärzeit, nach der das System nach Aktivierung einer An-/Ab-Dimm-Sequenz erneut auf Umgebungsreize reagiert und eine erneute Dimmsequenz aktiviert, ist ebenfalls voreinstellbar (1.14). Ein solches System ist mit bekannten elektronischen Bauteilen realisierbar. 1 : After pre-settable initial light time ( 1.1 ) the system dims according to the preset dimming speed ( 1.2 . 1.7 . 1.12 ) the light intensity down to a preselectable lower brightness level (possibly darkness) ( 1.3 . 1.8 . 1.13 , y axis). The system dims according to the preset dimming speed according to the ambient stimuli recorded by the motion detector and or microphone (stimulation thresholds and frequency of stimuli can be preset until the system reacts). 1.5 . 1.10 ) either immediately after perception of the stimulus or after a pre-settable "latency period" ( 1.4 . 1.9 , t-axis) the light up to the preselected upper brightness threshold ( 1.6 . 1.11 , y axis). The brightness is maintained over a preselected period (intermittent brightness, 1.6 . 1.11 , t-axis), then the system reduces the brightness again using a dimming system, according to the preset dimming speed ( 1.7 . 1.12 ) to the preselected lower brightness level. The refractory time after which the system reacts to environmental stimuli and activates a new dimming sequence after activating an on / off dimming sequence can also be preset ( 1.14 ). Such a system can be implemented with known electronic components.

2 und 3: Beim Hinlegen des Kindes bleibt das Licht im Kinderzimmer (2.3), auch nachdem die Eltern den Raum verlassen haben, an. Nach Ablauf der initialen Hellzeit (kann so gewählt werden, dass das Kind bei Beleuchtung, ohne durch Dunkelangst beeinträchtigt zu werden, einschlafen kann) reduziert das System (2.1 u. 2.2) die Lichtintensität bis zur Dunkelheit. Sollte das Kind dadurch oder zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt der Nacht erwachen (für das System durch Geräusche, z.B. verstärkte Atmung oder beginnendes Weinen, sowie durch Bewegungen im Bett (2.4) erkennbar) wird sofort oder mit wählbarer Latenzzeit eine diskrete, sanft anflutende Beleuchtung realisiert, ohne dass das Kind durch zu starke Helligkeit beeinträchtigt wird und ohne dass ein Erwachen in Dunkelheit zu Angstreaktionen führt. Kommt das Kind wieder zur Ruhe, reduziert das System (besteht aus Sensor- u. Elektronikeinheit (2.1. u. 3.3) sowie Adaptereinheit (2.2. u. 3.1) für anzuschließende Lichtquelle) das Licht stufenlos über einen voreinstellbaren Zeitraum erneut, kann sodann aber wieder auf erneute Zeichen des Erwachens und der Angst reagieren. Dadurch ist gewährleistet, dass während sicherer Schlafphasen des Kindes keine latente Hintergrundbeleuchtung im Kinderzimmer besteht, die z.B. beeinträchtigend auf die Augen des Kindes wirken könnte. 2 and 3 : When the child is lying down, the light stays in the children's room ( 2.3 ), even after the parents have left the room. After the initial light time has elapsed (can be selected so that the child can fall asleep when illuminated without being affected by fear of the dark), the system reduces ( 2.1 u. 2.2 ) the light intensity until dark. Should the child wake up as a result of this or at a later time of the night (for the system due to noises, e.g. increased breathing or the beginning of crying, as well as movements in bed ( 2.4 ) recognizable), discrete, softly flooding lighting is realized immediately or with a selectable latency period, without the child being impaired by excessive brightness and without awakening in the dark leading to fear reactions. If the child comes to rest again, the system is reduced (consists of sensor and electronics unit ( 2.1. u. 3.3 ) and adapter unit ( 2.2 , u. 3.1 ) for the light source to be connected) the light continuously over a pre-set period, but can then react to renewed signs of awakening and fear. This ensures that there is no latent backlight in the child's room during the child's safe sleep phases, which could have an adverse effect on the child's eyes, for example.
