Patent number: 10785097Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2014Date of Patent: September 22, 2020Assignee: SIGNIFY HOLDING B.V.Inventors: Maarten Marinus Johannes Wilhelmus Van Herpen, Ivo Wilhelmus Johannes Marie Rutten, Huon Urbald Ogier Norbert Van De Laarschot

Patent number: 10492274Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2014Date of Patent: November 26, 2019Assignee: SIGNIFY HOLDING B.V.Inventors: Frederik Jan De Bruijn, Tommaso Gritti, Stephanus Joseph Johannes Nijssen, Lorenzo Feri, Wei Pien Lee, Maarten Marinus Johannes Wilhelmus Van Herpen
