METHOD OF CONTROLLING LIGHTING SYSTEM Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC H05B37/02 

FIELD: physics, control.

SUBSTANCE: present invention relates to a method of controlling a lighting system. The lighting system is designed as a wireless network comprising a controller and a plurality of working nodes configured to communicate with each other, wherein the method comprises steps of synchronising the working nodes with the controller, determining, from the plurality of working nodes, a set of working nodes situated in a given working region, estimating state switching delay based on maximum communication delay between the controller and the set of working nodes situated in the given working region, transmitting the estimated state switching delay to the plurality of working nodes and transmitting state switching instructions to the plurality of working nodes.

EFFECT: visual distortion of state switching may be substantially eliminated since timing and alignment of timer interruptions together with the estimated state switching delay enable the plurality of nodes to switch state at substantially the same time.
