摘要:
Methods and apparatus for facilitating a process of designing, selecting, and/or customizing lighting effects or lighting shows. A library of indexed (tagged) predefined lighting effects or shows is searched by a search engine, based upon information provided by a user/designer, to identify a set of effects or shows having attributes that are in some way related to the information provided by the user. The user is then presented with search results, i.e., a manageable subset of intelligently chosen lighting effects or shows, which may be ranked in terms of relevance, any one or more of which may be readily selected by the user. The user may select one or more effects or shows from the search results “as is” for execution by a lighting system, may combine one or more effects or shows from the search results, or may modify one or more effects or shows from the search results to refine some aspect of the effect(s)/show(s) in accordance with user preferences. In one exemplary implementation, the library of lighting effects/shows and/or the search engine may be hosted by a web site and accessible via the Internet.

摘要:
In the method of creating a personalized content item, a first descriptor (2) describing a content item (1,100) is compared (6) with a second descriptor (4) describing a personal media item (3,64) and the personal media item (3,64) is incorporated (8) into the content item (1,100) if a relation exists between the first (2) and the second descriptor (4). The electronic device for creating a personalized content item contains a receiver (22), an interface (24), and a control unit (28). The receiver is able to receive a signal comprising a content item described by a first descriptor. The control unit (28) is able to use the interface to retrieve a personal media item described by a second descriptor from a storage means and to execute the method of the invention. The system contains a component (42) which is able to insert a first descriptor describing a content item into a signal comprising the content item and to transmit the signal, a component (44) which is able to store one or more personal media items described by one or more second descriptors, and a component (46) which is able to receive the signal and to execute the method of the invention. The computer program product comprises functions for executing the method of the invention.
