    摘要: A lighting system controller, a lighting system control method and software program product are provided for controlling a lighting device based on a trigger signal, such as a presence detection signal from a presence sensor. Instead of switching the lighting device to a fixed light setting at all times when the trigger signal is received, the initial light output of the lighting device is determined. The lighting device is then controlled according to a fixed light setting (e.g. white light at full brightness) if the determined initial light output is within a predetermined range, and else it is controlled according to a function relative to the determined initial light output. For example, if the lighting device is participating in a romantic scene emitting predominantly red light the lighting device may switch to reddish white light instead of the full white light and/or the brightness level of the light is lowered compared to the fixed light setting.

    摘要: A configuration system (100) for configuring a first device (130) in a lighting system is disclosed. The configuration system (100) comprises a memory (102) arranged for storing one or more light settings (110), which light settings (110) are defined by one or more light setting rules (112). The configuration system (100) further comprises a communication unit (104) arranged for communicating with the first device (130). The configuration system (100) further comprises a processor (106) arranged for identifying a device property (132) of the first device (130) based on information received from the first device (130) via the communication unit (104). The processor (106) is further arranged for accessing one or more light settings (110) stored in the memory (102), and for associating the device property (132) with at least one of the one or more light setting rules (112) of at least one of the one or more light settings (110) only if the device property (132) is compliant with the respective light setting rule (112), and for storing the association. This method allows a user to connect the first device (130) to the configuration system (100), whereupon the configuration system (100) determines the functionality of the first device (130) in the lighting system based on the light settings (110) stored in the memory (102).

    摘要: A method of controlling luminaires of a lighting system based on a current mode of an entertainment device, the method comprising: whilst the entertainment device is in an active mode: controlling one or more of the luminaires associated with the entertainment device to render an entertainment effect, receiving a lighting instruction identifying a plurality of the luminaires and a lighting effect to be rendered by them, determining that at least a first of the plurality of luminaires is one of the luminaires currently rendering the entertainment effect, controlling at least a second of the plurality of luminaries, which is not currently rendering the entertainment effect, to render the lighting effect whilst the first luminaire continues to render the entertainment effect, and electronically storing an indication of the lighting effect; and in response to the entertainment device switching to an inactive mode, controlling the first luminaire to render the lighting effect using the electronically stored indication.

    摘要: A method, device and computer program product for (near) synchronous control of networked lighting devices is presented. In networked lighting systems, a control command sent to the networked lighting devices is limited in length and as such it is not always possible to include the identifiers of the networked lighting devices, as well as the color point and/or intensity level they should change to in a single control command. However, sending multiple control commands in sequence can result in the undesired effect that these lighting devices change light output out-of-sync. The invention proposes to determine an approximate color point and/or approximate intensity level in, respectively, a color space and/or intensity space of a lower resolution. This allows a control command to comprise the identifiers of the networked lighting devices, as well as the approximate color point and/or approximate intensity level for (near) synchronous control of the networked lighting devices.

    摘要: The invention relates to a connected device system that is adapted to form a low-bandwidth wireless mesh network (2) between a plurality of devices (3, 4, 5, 6). The connected device system (1) comprises multiple output devices (3, 4, 5) for outputting human-perceptible stimuli and a controller device (6) for controlling the stimulus outputs of the multiple output devices via the wireless mesh network. The controller device is adapted to switch a group of the multiple output devices from a first control mode, in the stimulus outputs are controlled by control messages of a first type, to a second control mode, in which the stimulus outputs are controlled by control messages of a second type. The control messages of the second type are transmitted to the output devices of the group at a higher rate than the control messages of the first type.

    摘要: An electronic device is configured to determine apart (161) of a light effect for a first period and determine a succeeding part (186) of the light effect for a second period succeeding the first period. The electronic device is further configured to determine a likelihood that a second original light command specifying a part (162) of a light effect for the second period will not arrive at its destination and transmit an original first light command or determine and transmit an alternative first light command in dependence on the likelihood and/or the determined succeeding part of the light effect. The original first light command specifies the part of the light effect and the alternative first light command is determined based on the part and the succeeding part of the light effect and specifies a portion of the light effect for both the first period and the second period.

    摘要: The invention relates to a lighting device which is operable in two modes. In a first operating mode the flux of a lighting effect having a specified chromaticity is rendered based on the maximum (luminous) flux at which the chromaticity can be rendered by the lighting device. This can cause the maximum (luminous) flux across a range of colors that the lighting device can render to vary greatly. For example, a white color may be rendered at a far greater intensity than a primary color. In a second operating mode the specified chromaticity is rendered based on a predetermined maximum (luminous) flux for that specified chromaticity, or a color range that it is comprised in, or a predetermined maximum (luminous) flux for one or more color channels that are used in combination to render the light effect. This reduces the differences in maximum (luminous) flux of lighting effects rendered across the range of colors that are rendered by the lighting device.
