  • Patent number: 9357615
    Abstract: The invention provides a method for intuitively guiding a human to a reference location, such as an emergency exit, with a lighting system comprising a plurality of light sources along a pathway to the reference location. The lights shine with an intensity dependent upon the distance to the reference location, in particular the intensity of the light increases with decreasing distance to the reference location. The location of the emergency can be determined through emergency sensors, so that the intensity of the light sources is then controlled to lead away from the danger to the nearest safe exit.

  • Publication number: 20160081164
    Abstract: A method for calibrating an ambience lighting system for providing an ambient light effect for a cinema display screen is proposed. The method is based on implementing the ambience lighting system in the form of one or more of coded light (CL) sources. The method then includes processing one or more images of a scene being illuminated by the ambience lighting system to determine, based on the CL embedded into the light output of the individual CL sources, color and/or an intensity of the light generated by the individual CL source. The set of control data for controlling the CL sources to provide the desired ambient light effect is then based not only on the color and/or intensity of image content to be displayed on the cinema display screen, but also on the determined color and/or intensity of the light output of the individual CL sources.

  • Publication number: 20160013975
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved method of controlling interaction between network-enabled devices. In a network comprising multiple control devices, the selection of a control device can enable the mitigation of privacy risks and security risks and can further avoid frequent communications between network-enabled devices and an internet-based service (which increase power usage) as well as prevent devices becoming uncontrollable (based on failure of the network-enabled devices to connect to an internet-based service for control). The method comprises the steps of a user selecting an interaction schedule (102) and selection of a control device (104) as well as configuration of devices (106), based on said interaction scenario and said control scenario.

  • Patent number: 9220158
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for providing an ambience light effect in a cinema comprising a cinema display screen arranged on a front wall of the cinema and a plurality of light sources, comprising receiving first and second image content to be sequentially displayed on the cinema display screen, determining at least one of a color and intensity for the second image content, determining a second set of control data for controlling the plurality of light sources to emit an ambient light effect based on at least one of the color and intensity for the second image content, and associating the second set of control data with the first set of image content. Advantages with the invention include the possibility to provide an improved ambient lighting experience by using the “extra space” specifically available in a cinema, e.g. walls, floor and ceiling.
