GRANTING CONTROL OF SHARED SYSTEM Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC H04L12/28 G05B15/02 

FIELD: electrical communication engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to controlling a shared-access system, such as a lighting system. Method comprises steps of: obtaining a user identity; obtaining a priority rating associated with the user, wherein the priority rating is updated in response to one or more observed activities of the user, the one or more observed activities being linked to the shared- access system; comparing the priority rating with a threshold and granting control of at least a part of the shared-access system to the user if the priority rating is above the threshold, as a result of which the user who is most often present in the environment can be considered to have the "strongest association" with the shared-access system.

EFFECT: technical result is providing a method for granting control of a shared-access system that can potentially be equally used in different systems and does not require permanent manual reconfiguration.
