See full text

A zoned interactive control area (10) wherein an architectural space is divided into a plurality of zones (16), each having its own sensor(s) and zone lights (18). The zone lights (18) are controlled by a controller (20) such that there are different lighting levels (55, 57, 59) depending upon whether a zone (16) is occupied, whether an adjacent zone (16)is occupied, whether some other zone (16)is occupied, and the like. A variable control method (50) is adaptable such that fine control and adaptation for special circumstances can be achieved. Other types of devices can also be controlled according to the present inventive method and apparatus.
