Abstract:
The present invention relates to assisting a user in selecting a lighting device (204) design by providing a lighting device (204) design based on a model or image of a lighting device (204) design (e.g. the user uploading an image of an existing lighting device in his/her home (200)). The lighting device (204) design of the model or image is analyzed in order to determine a lighting device (204) design related variable (e.g. type, shape or color of lighting device design). This variable is then used to select a lighting device (204) design from a set of lighting device (204) designs (e.g. to select a lighting device (204) design of the same color, from an electronic catalogue of lighting device designs); or to generate a lighting device (204) design (e.g. to generate a lighting device design that is a copy of the lighting device design in the image, only smaller and in a different color). The invention further includes a system and computer program product for implementation of this method.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to assisting a user in selecting a lighting device (408) design through receiving an image of a scene, e.g. the user taking a picture using his/her smartphone of his/her living room (410) and analyzing this image in order to select or generate a lighting device (408) design. The analysis can comprise determining the presence of a pattern, material or color in the scene and a lighting device (408) design can be selected (e.g. from an electronic catalogue) that comprises a similar pattern, material or color. As another example, a lighting device (408) design can be generated to match such a pattern, material or color. The invention further comprises a system and computer program product for implementation of this method.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for lighting control. In some embodiments methods and apparatus are provided that sense a low lighting condition at a location and direct light toward that location after detection of the low lighting condition. In some embodiments apparatus are provided that include a plurality of networked LEDs (20, 30, 220, 230, 320, 330, 420, 430, 520, 530). Some of the LEDs may be illuminated in response to sensed light conditions at certain locations.
