Patent number: 11057671Abstract: A method of controlling a connected lighting system based on audio-visual content. The method comprises automatically performing operations of: color extraction from an image comprised in video component of the audio-visual content, calculating an audio intensity level of an audio sample of the audio component of the audio-visual content, determining of a first target light color and a first audio intensity level based on the extracted color and the calculated audio intensity level; and controlling at least one lighting device according to the determined first target light color and the first audio intensity level. This method provides for control in a manner which increases immersion of a user experiencing the audio-visual content as being rendered by, for example a TV, through providing light effects by a connected lighting system.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2018Date of Patent: July 6, 2021Assignee: SIGNIFY HOLDING B.V.Inventors: Simon Rycroft, Jonathan David Mason, Anthonie Hendrik Bergman, Jacobus Dingenis Machiel Van Boven

Patent number: 10728989Abstract: A controller for a lighting system, the lighting system comprising one or more luminaires associated with a lighting channel; the controller comprising: a script interpreter configured to interpret a lighting script for rendering on the luminaires; an effect impact determining module configured to determine a visual impact level of each of the lighting effects if rendered as defined by the lighting script unmodified; a script modifier configured to selectively generate, based on the visual impact levels, effect modification data for modifying the visual impact level of at least one of the lighting effects; a lighting controller configured to control the luminaires associated with the lighting channel to render versions of the lighting effects defined by the lighting script, wherein the lighting controller is configured to use the effect modification data to render a modified version of the at least one lighting effect having the modified visual impact level.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2018Date of Patent: July 28, 2020Inventors: Dzmitry Viktorovich Aliakseyeu, Jacobus Dingenis Machiel Van Boven, Remco Magielse, Gerardus Wilhelmus Theodorus Van Der Heijden

Patent number: 10653951Abstract: A game lighting controller detects implicit triggers in the video games, each based on analysing audio and/or video content output during gameplay and/or an effect on one or more players invoked by the content. Each implicit trigger corresponds to a respective one of a set of predefined event types. Based on detecting one of these triggers in a video game, the controller identifies an event occurring within that video game as being of a certain one of the predefined event types. The controller also reads metadata specifying a classification of the video game from amongst a set of predefined classifications. Based on identifying the event as being of the particular predetermined type, and in dependence on the classification of the video game specified in the metadata, the controller controls illumination emitted by one or more luminaires to produce a lighting effect to accompany the first event during gameplay.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2017Date of Patent: May 19, 2020Assignee: SIGNIFY HOLDING B.V.Inventors: Dzmitry Viktorovich Aliakseyeu, Jonathan David Mason, Jacobus Dingenis Machiel Van Boven, Gerardus Wilhelmus Theodorus Van Der Heijden

Patent number: 10625153Abstract: A lighting controller for controlling illumination emitted by one or more luminaires to accompany a video game. When a first event occurs during gameplay, the controller receives an indication of an identified type of the first event from amongst a set of predefined event types, and based on this controls the illumination to produce a first lighting effect to accompany the first event during the gameplay phase. When a second event of the same type occurs in a non-gameplay phase of the video game, the controller receives an indication of this also. Based on identifying that the events are the same type, but that the video game is in the non-gameplay phase rather than the gameplay phase, the controller controls the illumination to produce a second lighting effect to accompany the occurrence of the second event during the non-gameplay phase, this effect being visibly distinct from the first lighting effect.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2016Date of Patent: April 21, 2020Assignee: SIGNIFY HOLDING B.V.Inventors: Jacobus Dingenis Machiel Van Boven, Remco Magielse, Dzmitry Viktorovich Aliakseyeu, Jonathan David Mason, Sanae Chraibi

Patent number: 9488327Abstract: A lighting system has a recessed panel (light source or window) and a side wall or a set of side walls around the recess. The side wall (or at least one of the side walls), is provided with a lighting arrangement for controlling the color of illumination and/or shape from which light is emitted from the side wall or side walls. This can be used to replicate the sharp lighting boundaries that arise on the recess walls from sun illumination through a skylight, or else they can be used to provide general illumination around a window.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2014Date of Patent: November 8, 2016Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Jochen Renaat Van Gheluwe, Berent Willem Meerbeek, Petrus Johannes Hendrikus Seuntiens, Jacobus Dingenis Machiel Van Boven, Evert Jan Van Loenen
