  • Patent number: 10299347
    Abstract: According to the present disclosure, lighting sources having operating parameter(s) which is controllable in lighting sequence(s) as a function of a time code data set coupled with the sequence, are controlled in cooperation with virtual/augmented reality device(s), by: providing a repository of operating data files for the sources, coupled with the lighting sources, with each data file including time code data set(s) for lighting sequence(s) for a source among the lighting sources, retrieving in the data repository operating data file(s) coupled with a selected one of the lighting sources, and detecting a virtual/augmented reality signal from the virtual/augmented reality device(s), indicative of the fact that the virtual/augmented reality device is gazing at and/or is recognizing the selected lighting source, and operating the selected lighting source by controlling the operating parameter(s) as a function of the operating data included in the operating data file retrieved and of the virtual/augmented reali

  • Patent number: 10285250
    Abstract: In various embodiments, lighting sources including at least one operating parameter, which is controllable in at least one lighting sequence as a function of a time code data set coupled with the sequence, are controlled by providing a repository of operating data files for the sources coupled with the lighting sources with each data file including at least one time code data set for at least one lighting sequence for a respective one of the lighting sources, by retrieving in the data repository at least one operating data file coupled with a selected one of the lighting sources, and by operating the selected lighting source by controlling the at least one operating parameter as a function of the operating data included in the operating data file retrieved.

  • Patent number: 10264656
    Abstract: According to the present disclosure, lighting sources, having operating parameter(s) which is controllable in lighting sequence(s) as a function of a time code data set coupled with the sequence, are controlled: by providing a repository of operating data files for the lighting sources coupled with lighting sources, with each data file including time code data set(s) for lighting sequence(s) for one of the lighting sources, by detecting ambient lighting level signal(s) at the ambient where the lighting sources are located, by retrieving in the data repository operating data file(s) coupled with a selected one of the lighting sources, and by operating the selected lighting source by controlling the operating parameter(s) as a function of the operating data included in the operating data file retrieved and as a function of the ambient lighting level signal.

  • Patent number: 10172221
    Abstract: According to the present disclosure, lighting sources having operating parameter(s), which is controllable in lighting sequence(s) as a function of a time code data set coupled with the sequence, are controlled as a function of a videogame played on display(s): by providing a repository of operating data files for the sources coupled with the lighting sources with each data file including time code data set(s) for lighting sequence(s) for one of the lighting sources, by retrieving in the data repository operating data file(s) coupled with a source selected among the lighting sources, and by detecting from the display a videogame signal indicative of the development of a videogame, and by operating the selected lighting source by controlling the operating parameter(s) as a function of the operating data included in the operating data file retrieved and as a function of the videogame signal detected.

  • Publication number: 20180063922
    Abstract: According to the present disclosure, lighting sources having operating parameter(s), which is controllable in lighting sequence(s) as a function of a time code data set coupled with the sequence, are controlled: by providing a repository of operating data files for the sources, coupled with the lighting sources, with each data file including time code data set(s) for lighting sequence(s) for one of the lighting sources, by coupling with the data files respective audio and/or video data deliverable in a delivery stream, by retrieving in the data repository operating data file(s) coupled with a selected one of the lighting sources, and at certain instants during delivery of the audio and/or video data, activating the selected lighting source by controlling the operating parameter(s) as a function of the operating data included in the operating data file retrieved.
