Abstract: The invention provides a lighting controller (100) for regulating a user internet activity performed on a user device (104), wherein the user internet activity performed on the user device comprises an online monetary transaction, wherein the lighting controller (100) comprises a processor (101) arranged for: receiving information (102) indicating the user internet activity on the user device (104); processing said information (102) to obtain a control signal (103) for controlling a light source (105) to change at least one lighting characteristic from the group of color temperature; and regulating the user internet activity by supplying the control signal to control the light source for encouraging a user to perform the online monetary transaction by a decrease in color temperature, or for discouraging the user to perform the online monetary transaction by an increase in color temperature.

Abstract: According to one aspect disclosed herein, there is provided a lighting control system for controlling one or more luminaires of a lighting system to illuminate an environment, the lighting control system comprising: an interface for sending control commands to the luminaires; an automation component configured to: automatically control, via the interface, the luminaires according to a set of one or more automation rules stored in a memory accessible by the lighting control system; and a suppression component configured to: process data pertaining to a user in the environment from at least one data source to monitor activity exhibited by the user in the environment; detect a condition of increased user stress based on the activity monitoring; identify at least one of the automation rules as a potential cause of the increased user stress; and suppress or modify the identified automation rule for at least one of the luminaires based thereon.

Abstract: A lighting script—for use by a lighting controller to control at least one luminaire to render illumination effects, as the video content is outputted in a space illuminated by the at least one luminaire, synchronously with the outputting of the video content—is generated as follows. Frame image data of the video content is processed to determine at least one color palette of the frame image data. A sequence of illumination effects—to be rendered during the outputting of the video content and which is modifiable by a user—is displayed to the user. The displayed sequence conveys at least one illumination color derived from the determined color palette to be rendered in at least one of the illumination effects. The generated lighting script is for rendering the modified sequence of illumination effects.

Abstract: A lighting device is provided, a plurality of light sources are located within a housing of the lighting device. A sensor is also provided to determine an indication of the point of lowest potential energy and/or the point of highest kinetic energy. This sensor output is input to a controller that is configured to determine a change in the position or a movement of the point of lowest potential energy and/or the point of highest kinetic energy as the position of the lighting device changes based on the sensor output and to change a property of the light emitted by the plurality of light sources based on the change of position or a movement of the point of lowest potential energy and/or the point of highest kinetic energy.

Abstract: A method of enabling the selection of an item of content data based on an expected physiological response of a user, each item of content data being associated with at least one recording of a perceptible content element, includes storing a first set (18) of data representative of a relation between at least one variable for characterizing an aspect of a perceptible content element and a physiological response of at least one first user when the perceptible content element is rendered. The first set (18) of data representative of the relation is adapted on the basis of a measured physiological response of the at least one first user to a rendition of a perceptible content element and values of the at least one variable for characterizing an aspect of the perceptible content element.
