  • IMPLEMENTING A TARGET LIGHTING SCENE IN AN INTERNET OF THINGS ENVIRONMENT USING A MOBILE LIGHT OUTPUT DEVICE
    Publication number: 20160073482
    Abstract: In an embodiment, a control device is configured to control a mobile IoT light output device (e.g., a mobile phone, etc.) in an Internet of Things (IoT) environment. The control device detects that the mobile IoT light output device is present in a region of the IoT environment along with one or more stationary IoT light output devices. The control device determines a target lighting scene to be implemented within the region of the IoT environment, and establishes a lighting configuration of the mobile IoT light output device to be used in conjunction with a lighting configuration of each of the one or more stationary IoT light output devices to achieve the target lighting scene.
