Abstract

The present disclosure provides a smart lighting device, and a smart lighting control system and method. The smart lighting device includes a human detection module, a control module, and a microphone module. The microphone module has operation modes including a sleep mode and a monitor mode. The human detection module detects whether a human appears in a surrounding area of the smart lighting device in real-time, and sends a detection signal to the control module when a human appearance is detected. The control module receives and sends the detection signal to the microphone module to switch from a sleep mode to a monitor mode. When receiving a control signal from the control module, the microphone module switches to the monitor mode and collects audio signals in the surrounding area of the smart lighting device. The smart lighting device further includes a wireless communication module for wireless communication.
