Patent number: 10426018Abstract: A multi-track illumination content editing system allows creation or alteration of content using multiple input tracks representing illumination or other electromagnetic emissions and auxiliary content representing presentations other than electronic emissions, e.g., images, audio, or video. The editing system may particularly perform mixed media editing that manipulates both illumination and auxiliary content so that output illumination or auxiliary tracks depend on both illumination and auxiliary input tracks.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2017Date of Patent: September 24, 2019Assignee: Telelumen, LLCInventors: Steven Paolini, Veronika Zelikson, Dmitri Simonian, Ross D.

Patent number: 10045417Abstract: Illumination of an environment can be selected based on target colors that the illumination would provide for specific samples. One process for synthesizing the illumination includes repeatedly selecting settings for separate light sources in a luminaire system and determining a merit function of the target colors of the samples and apparent colors of the samples under illumination that the luminaire system would produce with the settings selected. The value of the merit function thus determined can be used to identify a synthesized illumination, for example, the synthesized illumination that provides a smallest value. A luminaire system can implement such a process in a luminaire or in a control system for luminaires.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2017Date of Patent: August 7, 2018Assignee: Telelumen, LLCInventors: Dmitri Simonian, Steven Paolini, Ross D.

Patent number: 9888539Abstract: A luminaire produces lighting as a series of frames of constant spectral content includes sensors and an interpreter for executing scripts that describe the spectral contents of respective frames. The scripts may include spectral data and executable code for altering the spectral data and depend on sensor data. In particular, a frame descriptor may include data for a frame, a repeat count indicating a number of frames, and an identifier for a subroutine that uses sensor data. One or more luminaires can be network connected to one or more computers running applications providing user interfaces for script generation. A standardized interface can control communications with the luminaires and convey sensor data.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2016Date of Patent: February 6, 2018Assignee: Telelumen, LLCInventor: Ross D. Archer

Patent number: 9820360Abstract: An illumination content editing system and an illumination content translator allow creation or alteration of illumination content and translation of illumination content so that illumination represented by the illumination content can be played in disparate illumination systems. Translation may particularly employ characteristics of the disparate illumination systems, and the characterizations may be determined using automated or manual processes.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2015Date of Patent: November 14, 2017Assignee: TELELUMEN, LLCInventors: Steven Paolini, Veronika Zelikson, Dmitri Simonian, Ross D Archer

Patent number: 9572231Abstract: Illumination of an environment can be selected based on target colors that the illumination would provide for specific samples. One process for synthesizing the illumination includes repeatedly selecting settings for separate light sources in a luminaire system and determining a difference between the target colors of the samples and apparent colors of the samples under illumination that the luminaire system would produce with the settings selected. The differences thus determined can be used to identify a synthesized illumination, for example, the synthesized illumination that provides a smallest difference. A luminaire system can implement such a process in a luminaire or in a control system for luminaires.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2013Date of Patent: February 14, 2017Assignee: Telelumen, LLCInventors: Dmitri Simonian, Steven Paolini, Ross D.
