Abstract:
Disclosed are methods and apparatus for lighting control. Presence of a lighting control element (110, 310, 312A-C, 510, 512, 610, 710, 915, 917) is identified over one or more LEDs (323, 327, 930) and at least one lighting control property of the lighting control element is identified. At least one property of light output of controlled light sources associated with the lighting control element is adjusted based on the lighting control property of the lighting control element. The lighting control element may be a user interface element.
Abstract:
A system (1) comprises a media receiver (10) for receiving a broadcast signal comprising media data, a rendering device (20) for providing an audible and/or visual output from the media data, and a user equipment (30) capable of exchanging messages (M) via an internet service (40), the user equipment (30) having an media item comment option for submitting a message (MSG) about a media item. The user equipment (30) is arranged for issuing a data request signal (DRQ) to the media receiver if the user selects the media item comment option and the media receiver is arranged for providing extracted representative information (RINF) about a portion of the media item that is reproduced when or shortly before the request is received, and for providing said representative information (RINF) to the user equipment (30). The user equipment (30) is capable of including said representative information in said message (MSG) about a media item.
Abstract:
A safety protection arrangement is provided for a lighting arrangement. An electrical parameter is measured with the driving of the lighting arrangement with particular driving settings and it is compared with an estimated expected value of the electrical parameter so that a safety warning signal or a shutdown can be provided in the event of a detected system failure.
Abstract:
Systems and methods recommending edibles for consumption after considering a user's edible intake over a period of time. Each edible item, consumed or recommended, is associated with a set of parameters (or parameter ranges) that represent the various nutrients contained in that edible item (e.g., vitamins, minerals, calories, fat, etc.). The consumed items can be aggregated in various ways (simple averages, moving averages, weighted averages) to yield an overall indicator of the user's nutritional state and, given a goal nutritional state, edibles can be recommended for consumption that advance the user's nutritional state towards a goal nutritional state.
Abstract:
A data base system is disclosed for storing meta-data about labeled predominantly non-text items in a collection of labeled predominantly non-text items (lpnt items). The system comprises a storage facility (10), a keyword generation facility (20) and a meta-data enrichment facility (30). The storage facility (10) stores respective meta-data for lpnt items (i) within said collection, said meta-data comprising at least one lpnt item classification (gi) and a lpnt item description (Ti), said classification defining classes. The keyword generation facility (20), which generates keyword data for respective classes, comprises a retrieval module for retrieving terms from lpnt item descriptions of lpnt items associated with said classes. The keyword generation facility (20) further comprises a term relevance determining module for assigning a relevance of said terms for said classes, for selecting terms from said retrieved terms on the basis of their assigned relevance and providing these selected terms as candidate keywords. The system further comprises a metadata enrichment facility (30) for adding a subset (Ki) of the provided candidate keywords (K(c)) as keywords to the meta-data of lpnt items of a class.
Abstract:
Disclosed are methods and apparatus for storing, suggesting, and/or utilizing lighting settings. A database of relevant lighting settings for recommendation to lighting users may be managed and at least some of the relevant lighting settings may each be associated with a weighting corresponding to an experience level of a user that created the lighting setting. Relevant lighting settings for a lighting system may also be identified and a creator experience level, lighting systems contextual data, and/or reconstructability of the lighting settings may be used in identifying and/or sorting the relevant lighting settings.
