Lighting methods for providing personalized lighting to users positioned proximal to one another

摘要

Methods for providing personalized lighting to users (102A, 102H) positioned proximal to one another. First lighting (103A, 106A) may be provided to a first user (102A) when the first user is not proximal any conflicting lighting users (102H). Second lighting (103A, 106A) may be provided to the first user (102A) when a first user lighting need is in conflict with a conflicting user (103H, 106H) lighting need of a conflicting user (102H) that is proximal the first user (102A). The second lighting (103A, 106A) may be set to minimize contrast with lighting supplied to the conflicting user.

主权项

1. A method of providing individualized lighting settings in a lighting system, comprising:
identifying first user lighting information indicative of first user lighting needs of a first user, said first user lighting needs indicative of a first light intensity at a reference color temperature and a first color temperature at a reference light intensity; identifying second user lighting information indicative of second user lighting needs of a second user, said second user lighting needs indicative of a second light intensity at said reference color temperature and a second color temperature at said reference light intensity; providing a first lighting having a modified first light characteristic to said first user and simultaneously providing a second lighting having a second light characteristic to said second user when said first user and said second user are within a predefined distance and when variation between said first user lighting needs and said second user lighting needs is outside of a predefined variation; wherein said modified first light characteristic includes at least one of a modified first light intensity and a modified first color temperature; wherein said second light characteristic includes an emitted second light intensity and an emitted second color temperature; wherein said first lighting and said second lighting satisfy either a first condition or a second condition; wherein in said first condition a modified light intensity absolute difference between said modified first light intensity and said emitted second light intensity is less than an original light intensity absolute difference between said first light intensity and said second light intensity; and wherein in said second condition a modified color temperature absolute difference between said modified first color temperature and said emitted second color temperature is less than an original color temperature absolute difference between said first color temperature and said second color temperature; wherein said first lighting includes a face first lighting component having a face first light intensity and a task first lighting component having a task first light intensity; and wherein said face first light intensity is closer to said first user lighting needs than said task first light intensity is to said first user lighting needs.
