Various implementations relate generally to multi-sensor devices. Some implementations more particularly relate to a multi-sensor device including a ring of radially-oriented photosensors. Some implementations more particularly relate to a multi-sensor device that is orientation-independent with respect to a central axis of the ring. Some implementations of the multi-sensor devices described herein further include one or more additional sensors. For example, some implementations include an axially-directed photosensor. Some implementations also can include one or more temperature sensors configured to sense an exterior temperature, for example, an ambient temperature of an outdoors environment around the multi-sensor. Additionally or alternatively, some implementations include one or more of an infrared sensor or infrared sensors, a cellular communication circuit, and a GPS module.

An ultraviolet light radiation sensing device to be wearable by a human being is provided, the device including a front part and a rear part, an ultraviolet light radiation sensor with associated microprocessor on a printed circuit board, a battery, and a wireless communication unit, e.g. for Bluetooth communication. If the front and rear part are made from a metal or metal alloy, and are interconnected by a middle member made from electrically insulating polymer material, the front and rear parts constitute antenna elements of the wireless communication unit. The device is intended to enable interaction with application data of a smartphone, a method being provided to establish recommended UV-dose and related exposure time by the sun onto the skin of the human being.

Certain aspects pertain to a combination sensor comprising a set of physical sensors facing different directions proximate a structure, and configured to measure solar radiation in different directions. The combination sensor also comprises a virtual facade-aligned sensor configured to determine a combi-sensor value at a facade of the structure based on solar radiation readings from the set of physical sensors.

An information processing device configured to obtain an index with regard to light entering a measurement target region in a wider range is disclosed. The information processing device calculates, on a basis of a measured value of a reference reflection region, a reference index including a sunny place reference index and a shady place reference index, and calculates, on a basis of a measured value of a measurement target region obtained by performing sensing for the measurement target region and the reference index, a measurement target region index including a sunny measurement target region index being an index with regard to light entering a sunny region in the measurement target region and a shady measurement target region index being an index with regard to light entering a shady region in the measurement target region.

A wearable device for measuring the light conditions of a subject includes a light sensor for measuring said light conditions, and a light guide for collecting incoming light and directing it to said light sensor. A software application is also provided executable on a remote device and configured for receiving data from the wearable device via a receiver on the remote device, processing the data by means of the remote device to provide data representing the light exposure of the subject wearing the wearable device, and displaying at least a part of the data on a screen of the remote device.

A UV exposure dosimetry system includes at least one UV sensor that measures the UV irradiance intensity. The system can generate extrapolated UV intensity data based on measured UV intensity data to correct unreliable UV measurement due to inconsistent irradiation of UV light. The system integrates the extrapolated UV intensity data over time to calculate real-time UV dosage and vitamin D production by taking into account factors including UV sensor location, body surface area, clothing coverage, and sunscreen usage. Based on the measurement, the system can predict the time remaining to skin burn and the time remaining to reach daily goal of vitamin D production. The system is also adapted to measure sun exposure time based on the corrected UV intensity over a period of time. The UV dosimetry system supports multi-user control through an advanced and user friendly input and output interface.
