  • Lighting system
    Patent number: 11665802
    Abstract: A controller for controlling at least a first lighting device and a second lighting device, the controller comprising a communication unit for communicating with the first and second lighting device, a user interface for receiving user input, a display unit, and a processor for rendering, on the display unit, a graphical representation of a first color spectrum, a first type of graphical representation of the first lighting device in the first color spectrum at a first position in the user interface, a second type of graphical representation of the second lighting device in the first color spectrum at a second position in the user interface, wherein the first type of graphical representation is indicative for the first lighting device being arranged for generating light matching a color of the first color spectrum associated with the first position in the user interface, and the second type of graphical representation is indicative for the second lighting device not being arranged for generating light matchin

  • Positioning system for determining a location of an object
    Patent number: 11143739
    Abstract: A positioning system (100) for determining a location of an object is disclosed. The positioning device comprises a plurality of microphones (M1-M6) configured to receive a sound input (122) from a user (120), a localization module (102) configured to determine a user location of the user relative to the plurality of microphones based on differences between the sound input received at different microphones of the plurality of microphones, and a processor (104) configured to receive an identifier of the object, identify the object based on the identifier, determine the location of the object by setting the location of the object equal to the user location, and store the location of the object in a memory.
