Abstract
A system comprising a localization database mapping reference nodes to zones; and a localization module configured to determine a representative measurement based on a combination of measurements for the nodes of each zone (e.g. RSSIs), and to compare the representative measurements with one another in order to directly determine which one or more of the zones the mobile device belongs to. The system further comprises a lighting database mapping between lamps and zones, configured to receive an index of each of the one or more determined zones from the localization module, and based thereon to directly relate the one or more determined zones to one or more of the lamps in the lighting database; and a lighting access service configured to grant the mobile device with access to control of those lamps on condition of being related to the one or more determined zones by the lighting database.
