Apparatus intelligent illuminated sign, methods of configuration and controls

Abstract

Apparatus intelligent illuminated sign comprising: controller, sensors, illumination devices, interfaces, power source. Apparatus configurations include: display, sensor, operator interface, controller interface, acceptance criteria, control algorithm. Display providing parallel view illumination, with mounting configuration including replacement without impacting integrity of apparatus. Sensors include: ambient light, proximity, temperature, power. Plug and power source includes intelligent power splitter, sustaining operation of apparatus during power outage. Operator interface include interrupting ambient light for triggering sensor status. Controller interface include: LAN, INTERNET, mobile devices. Acceptance criteria include: optimization using energy, sustaining apparatus safety and contributing to safety of surrounding environment. Control algorithm includes: executing real-time self-diagnostics, and controls to sustain apparatus operation within acceptance criteria, maintaining predefined safety margins using components of apparatus, maintaining reliability and maximizing operating life of apparatus. Apparatus configurable in compliance with local and national regulations for applications as intelligent illuminated: street address sign, street name sign; building sign, traffic sign.
