`ABSTRACT
`(57)
`A programmable light timer for implementing a timing pat-
`tern is described. The programmable light timer comprises an
`prog
`g
`ip
`actuator on a userinterface 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 thefirst
`button is programmable to have an on time; and a second
`button on the user interface of the programmablelighttimer,
`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 AND A
`METHOD OF IMPLEMENTING A
`PROGAMMABLELIGHT TIMER
`
`FIELD OF THE INVENTION
`
`The present invention relates generally to lighting control
`products, andin particular, to a programmablelighttimer and
`amethod ofimplementing a programmable light timer. Appli-
`cant claimspriority on co-pending U.S. application Ser. No.
`14/066,724, filed on Oct. 20, 2013.
`
`BACKGROUNDOF 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. Becauseofthe lim-
`ited size of the conventionaltimers, 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 mustfit in an electrical box, commonlycalled a junc-
`tion box. Not only does a user ofthe in-wall timer haveto read
`a very small display, but the user has to advance through a
`menu shownon the small display using a very limited inter-
`face whichis provided on the remaining portion ofthe timer.
`Entering data on such a userinterface is particularly difficult
`because the in-wall timer is fixed and generally positioned
`well below eyelevel.
`timers are often unreliable. For
`Further, conventional
`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 ofthe 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 fortheir lights, or timers
`which do not provide the timing operation that they desire.
`Without an effective timer for a light for example, the light
`maybe on significantly longer than necessary, not only wast-
`ing energy but in manycasesincreasing pollutionas a result.
`Asenergy consumption world-wide continuesto increase,it
`is important to reduce or minimize the consumptionofenergy
`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 programmablelight 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
`coupledto the control circuit, wherein a time selected by the
`actuatoris provided on the display; a first button on the user
`interface of the programmable light timer, wherein thefirst
`button is programmable to have an on time; and a second
`button on the userinterface of the programmablelighttimer,
`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
`programmablelight timer,the actuator 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 actuatoris provided on
`the display;a first button on theuser interface ofthe program-
`mablelight timer, the first button enabling the selection of a
`first pre-stored timing pattern; and a secondbutton onthe user
`interface of the programmablelight timer, the second button
`enabling the selection of a second pre-stored timing pattern.
`A methodof implementing a timing pattern on a program-
`mable light timer is also described. The method comprises
`enabling, ona userinterface ofthe programmable light timer,
`a selection of a time for the programmable light timer; dis-
`playing the time ona display ofthe programmable light timer;
`enabling a first button, provided on the user interface of the
`programmable light timer, to be programmedto have an on
`time; and enabling a second button, provided on the user
`interface of the programmablelight timer, to be programmed
`to have an off time.
