Abstract: A system and methods are provided for group lighting interaction. A lighting infrastructure includes a plurality of simultaneously and independently controllable lighting devices. As various users request access to control the lighting infrastructure, the system and methods involve dynamically partitioning the lighting devices into subsets and then allocating each subset to a corresponding requesting user. The dynamic partitioning may be based on each user's respective location or the time each user requested access to control the lighting infrastructure.

Abstract: A system and methods are provided for an immersive group lighting interaction. A lighting infrastructure includes a plurality of independently controllable lighting devices. According to an embodiment, users may be granted access to control at least a portion of the lighting infrastructure. Rather than requiring the user to manually control the lighting infrastructure using, for example, the touch screen, a sensor associated with the user's mobile device may track the user. The sensor data may be classified and then mapped to a corresponding control instruction to control the lighting infrastructure. In another embodiment, a computing system receives sensor classifications from multiple users. If a threshold amount of a type of classification is received, the computing system controls a lighting infrastructure according to that type of classification.

Abstract: A system for generating two-dimensional images is provided. The system may include a controller configured to receive a three-dimensional design image. The controller may be further configured to generate a fake 2D image based on the 3D design image and one or more 3D image parameters, such as object orientation. The controller may be further configured to generate a realistic 2D image based on the fake 2D image and one or more image features. The controller may be further configured to evaluate a realism value of the realistic 2D image based on one or more real 2D images. The controller may be further configured to evaluate a detected orientation of the realistic 2D image. The controller may be further configured to update the realistic image generator based on the realism value or the detected orientation.

Abstract: A method is provided for providing desired application usage experience to a user on a user device. The method includes automatically converting a plurality of App pages into FUNC descriptors to be stored, wherein each FUNC descriptor includes at least non-functional properties of a FUNC, capability of the FUNC, and an interface of the FUNC to invoke the FUNC. The method also includes obtaining at least one user intention inputted by the user; determining at least one FUNC descriptor from the FUNC descriptors for fulfilling the user intention; recommending to the user with at least one FUNC corresponding to the at least one FUNC descriptor by rendering the at least one FUNC descriptor on the user device; and invoking the at least one FUNC directly from the user device without going through a launching page of an App page providing the at least one FUNC.
