Abstract

In this paper, we propose a control method for multiple lights to provide a comfortable living environment for all residents in it. It is not easy to configure the illuminance environment because of dynamic changes in the environment which are induced by disturbances such as obstacles of light and the external light. In this study, we employ the light occlusion rate parameter to estimate the illuminance situation and the voltage of light is controlled based on the estimated value. Furthermore, we employ a control rule based on the theory of biological fluctuation to make the estimation more precisely. Experimental results show that our method works well and the occlusion parameter can be estimated stably.
