A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11927948B2) discloses a system designed to receive status information from a lighting device and present different status information on two separate user devices based on the privacy mode settings. The system includes input and output interfaces along with a processor that determines the status information to be displayed on each user device. The processor can transmit different status information to each user device and control the lighting device based on privacy mode activation.

Furthermore, the patent describes how the system can determine a fictitious current status for the lighting device when the privacy mode is active, ensuring that the second status information displayed on the second user device does not reveal the actual status of the device. The privacy mode can be activated automatically based on specific triggers such as selecting certain light scenes or detecting the presence or absence of specified persons. Additionally, the system can identify the user who activated the privacy mode and adjust the status information accordingly, providing a personalized experience for each user interacting with the lighting device.
