`ABSTRACT
`A programmable light timer for implementing a timing pat
`tern is described. The programmable light timer comprises an
`prog
`9.
`p
`actuator on a user interface of the programmable light timer
`enabling a selection of a time for the programmable light
`timer; a control circuit coupled to the actuator, a display
`coupled to the control circuit, wherein a time selected by the
`actuator is provided on the display; a first button on the user
`interface of the programmable light timer, wherein the first
`button is programmable to have an on time; and a second
`button on the user interface of the programmable light timer,
`wherein the second button is programmable to have an off
`time. A method of implementing a timing pattern on a pro
`grammable light timer is also described.

`PROGRAMMABLE LIGHT TIMER ANDA
`METHOD OF IMPLEMENTING A
`PROGAMMABLE LIGHT TIMER
`
`FIELD OF THE INVENTION
`
`The present invention relates generally to lighting control
`products, and in particular, to a programmable light timer and
`a method of implementing a programmable lighttimer. Appli
`cant claims priority on co-pending U.S. application Ser. No.
`14/066,724, filed on Oct. 20, 2013.
`
`BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
`
`Conventional timers for lights, such as timers for indoor
`lamps or outdoor lights for example, either provide little
`functionality, or are difficult to program. Because of the lim
`ited size of the conventional timers, the size of the screen and
`the size of the interface for programming the timer are both
`relatively small. This is particularly true of an in-wall timer,
`which must fit in an electrical box, commonly called a junc
`tion box. Not only does a user of the in-wall timer have to read
`a very Small display, but the user has to advance through a
`menu shown on the Small display using a very limited inter
`face which is provided on the remaining portion of the timer.
`Entering data on Such a user interface is particularly difficult
`because the in-wall timer is fixed and generally positioned
`well below eye level.
`Further, conventional timers are often unreliable. For
`example, conventional mechanical timers often malfunction
`over time, leaving the user without the use of the timer for
`some period of time and requiring the user to incur the
`expense of replacing the timer. Moreover, advanced digital
`timers having electronic displays may be difficult to operate,
`providing a barrier to certain groups of people who would
`otherwise use a timer, but don't want to struggle through a
`complex interface on the Small screen of the timer to properly
`set the timer. For example, not only is the display very Small
`and difficult to read, but the user interface is difficult to
`navigate on Such a small display. These groups of users are
`either left with no timing operation for their lights, or timers
`which do not provide the timing operation that they desire.
`Without an effective timer for a light for example, the light
`may be on significantly longer than necessary, not only wast
`ing energy but in many cases increasing pollution as a result.
`As energy consumption world-wide continues to increase, it
`is important to reduce or minimize the consumption of energy
`in any way possible. The timer of the present invention pro
`vides significant benefits in reducing energy consumption.
`
`SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
`
`A programmable light timer for implementing a timing
`pattern is described. The programmable light timer comprises
`an actuator on a user interface of the programmable light
`timer enabling a selection of a time for the programmable
`light timer, a control circuit coupled to the actuator; a display
`coupled to the control circuit, wherein a time selected by the
`actuator is provided on the display; a first button on the user
`interface of the programmable light timer, wherein the first
`button is programmable to have an on time; and a second
`button on the user interface of the programmable light timer,
`wherein the second button is programmable to have an off
`time.
`Another programmable light timer for implementing a tim
`ing pattern comprises an actuator on a user interface of the
`programmable lighttimer, the actuator enablinga selection of

`a time for the programmable light timer; a control circuit
`coupled to the actuator, a display coupled to the control
`circuit, wherein a time selected by the actuator is provided on
`the display; a first button on the user interface of the program
`mable light timer, the first button enabling the selection of a
`first pre-stored timing pattern; and a second button on the user
`interface of the programmable light timer, the second button
`enabling the selection of a second pre-stored timing pattern.
`A method of implementing a timing pattern on a program
`mable light timer is also described. The method comprises
`enabling, on a user interface of the programmable light timer,
`a selection of a time for the programmable light timer, dis
`playing the time on a display of the programmable lighttimer;
`enabling a first button, provided on the user interface of the
`programmable light timer, to be programmed to have an on
`time; and enabling a second button, provided on the user
`interface of the programmable light timer, to be programmed
`to have an off time.
