Patent number: 11265994Abstract: During operation, a computer obtains information specifying a lighting configuration of one or more lights in an environment, where the lighting configuration includes the one or more lights at predefined or predetermined locations in the environment. Then, the computer receives sensor data associated with the environment. Moreover, the computer analyzes the sensor data to determine a context associated with the environment. Then, based at least in part on the lighting configuration, a layout of the environment, and the determined context, the computer automatically determines the dynamic lighting states of the one or more lights, where a dynamic lighting state of a given light includes an intensity and a color of the given light. Next, the computer provides instructions corresponding to the dynamic lighting states to the one or more lights. Note that the dynamic lighting states may be based at least in part on a transferrable profile of the individual.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2020Date of Patent: March 1, 2022Assignee: Lexi Devices, Inc.Inventors: Scott Cahill, Richard Ling

Patent number: 11109469Abstract: During operation, a computer generates, based at least in part on an initial lighting configuration in an environment and a layout of the environment, and provides a simulation of the environment with the initial lighting configuration. Note that the initial lighting configuration includes one or more lights at predefined or predetermined locations in the environment, dynamic lighting states of the one or more lights, and a dynamic lighting state of the given light includes an intensity and a color of the given light. Moreover, based at least in part on the initial lighting configuration, the layout of the environment, and a determined context of the environment, the computer modifies the initial lighting configuration to obtain an updated lighting configuration. Next, based at least in part on the updated lighting configuration and the layout, the computer generates and selectively provides an updated simulation of the environment with the updated lighting configuration.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2020Date of Patent: August 31, 2021Assignee: Lexi Devices, Inc.Inventors: Scott Cahill, Richard Ling

Patent number: 10980096Abstract: During operation, a computer provides, based at least in part on an initial lighting preference of an individual, instructions specifying initial lighting states of one or more lights in a lighting configuration in an environment, where an initial lighting state of a given light includes an intensity and a color of the given light. Then, the computer receives sensor data specifying a non-verbal physical response of the individual to initial lighting states. Moreover, the computer determines, based at least in part on the non-verbal physical response, a type of reaction of the individual to the initial lighting state. Next, the computer selectively modifies, based at least in part on a lighting behavior history of the individual and the determined type of reaction, the initial lighting preference of the individual to obtain an updated lighting preference.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2020Date of Patent: April 13, 2021Assignee: Lexi Devices, Inc.Inventors: Alexander Charles Summers, Collin James Palmer, David Brian Lindell, Michael Pickett McKenna

Patent number: 10972360Abstract: During operation, an electronic device receives a digital representation of an environment. Then, the electronic device receives input information that specifies a number of lighting devices, types of lighting devices or both. In response, the electronic device provides the input information to a second electronic device. Next, the electronic device receives from the second electronic device design information specifying one or more predefined lighting configurations suitable for use in the environment and that are compatible with the input information. Moreover, the electronic device presents the design information specifying the one or more predefined lighting configurations. Furthermore, the electronic device receives a user selection of a given predefined lighting configuration in the one or more predefined lighting configurations.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2019Date of Patent: April 6, 2021Assignee: Lexi Devices, Inc.Inventors: Scott Cahill, Deepak Saxena
