Patent number: 10339591Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to systems and methods for creating, distributing and playing illumination data files. The illumination data files, created using luminaire development systems are uploaded to a luminaire management system, where they are further processed and packaged for sale or license within a luminaire marketplace. Consumers and enterprises using luminaires may establish accounts with the luminaire management system and marketplace to access illumination data files for playback on individual or multiple luminaires. Consumers and enterprises may also create play lists and uniquely configure the luminaires to display various lighting effects based on user preferences, environmental factors or energy efficient settings.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2015Date of Patent: July 2, 2019Assignee: TeleLumen LLCInventors: Steven Paolini, John Giddings

Patent number: 10172204Abstract: Systems and methods permit use of efficient solid state emitters for broad spectrum continuous spectrum lighting defined by illumination data. The illumination data, which can be sold as a commercial product, can be recorded or authored and include spectral, temporal, and spatial information. A lighting fixture can use information such as the illumination data, emitter age, temperature, and calibration data to calculate drive levels as needed to control intensities of individual emitters and thereby produce desired patterns of spectral content and time variation.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2016Date of Patent: January 1, 2019Assignee: Telelumen, LLCInventor: Steven Paolini

Patent number: 10045417Abstract: Illumination of an environment can be selected based on target colors that the illumination would provide for specific samples. One process for synthesizing the illumination includes repeatedly selecting settings for separate light sources in a luminaire system and determining a merit function of the target colors of the samples and apparent colors of the samples under illumination that the luminaire system would produce with the settings selected. The value of the merit function thus determined can be used to identify a synthesized illumination, for example, the synthesized illumination that provides a smallest value. A luminaire system can implement such a process in a luminaire or in a control system for luminaires.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2017Date of Patent: August 7, 2018Assignee: Telelumen, LLCInventors: Dmitri Simonian, Steven Paolini, Ross D.

Patent number: 9974141Abstract: A lighting system includes multiple light sources, a sensing unit, and a control system. The light sources have different emission spectra, and the sensing unit is configured to measure a spectral content of light. The control system may be configured to use measurements from the sensing unit to select respective intensities for emissions from the light sources and then independently control the light sources to emit the respective intensities. In particular, the control system can select and render a spectral distribution selected based on the light reflected from objects that are being illuminated or render a spectral distribution to supplement light from other light sources and achieve a lighting objective.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2016Date of Patent: May 15, 2018Assignee: Telelumen, LLCInventors: Dmitri Simonian, Steven Paolini

Patent number: 9888539Abstract: A luminaire produces lighting as a series of frames of constant spectral content includes sensors and an interpreter for executing scripts that describe the spectral contents of respective frames. The scripts may include spectral data and executable code for altering the spectral data and depend on sensor data. In particular, a frame descriptor may include data for a frame, a repeat count indicating a number of frames, and an identifier for a subroutine that uses sensor data. One or more luminaires can be network connected to one or more computers running applications providing user interfaces for script generation. A standardized interface can control communications with the luminaires and convey sensor data.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2016Date of Patent: February 6, 2018Assignee: Telelumen, LLCInventor: Ross D. Archer

Patent number: 9635728Abstract: A method of utilizing a light replication luminaire to match the spectral characteristics of light that is output from the luminaire to the spectral characteristics of a target light spectrum is provided. In one example, the method permits the user to assign a weight to one or more characteristics of the target light spectrum to be replicated. A best approximation of the target light spectrum is then determined, taking into account the weight assigned to each characteristic. In another example, the target light spectrum is provided to the luminaire by the user through the specification of various characteristics of the target light spectrum.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 2014Date of Patent: April 25, 2017Assignee: TELELUMEN LLCInventors: Dmitri Simonian, Steven Paolini, Richard Jui-chi Koo

Patent number: 9534956Abstract: Systems and methods permit use of efficient solid state emitters for broad spectrum continuous spectrum lighting defined by illumination data. The illumination data, which can be sold as a commercial product, can be recorded or authored and include spectral, temporal, and spatial information. Intensities of individual emitters such as LEDs can be controlled through a combination of pulse width modulation (PWM) and amplitude modulation (AM) of drive currents. The combination of PWM and AM permits fine tuning of the spectrum of emissions and creation of free space optical data channels.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2015Date of Patent: January 3, 2017Assignee: TELELUMEN, LLCInventor: Steven Paolini
