AMBIENT LIGHTING SYSTEM TO MITIGATE THE IMPACT OF TRAVEL ACROSS TIME ZONES

摘要

A system and method for a customized ambient lighting environment for individuals in vehicles travelling rapidly across multiple time zones, that can be automated and/or based on user input and which allows each user to be exposed to light in accordance to selected preferences and circumstances, in order to begin acclimating the user to a new time zone, or avoid acclimating to a new time zone, and/or otherwise mitigate circadian desynchrony.

1. A system for providing light exposure to mitigate the impact on a user in a vehicle of rapidly travelling across time zones comprising:
a user area; a light emitting source configured to direct light into the user area and where said light source is adjustable for one or more of a desired duration, an intensity level, a light projection angle and a wavelength or combination of wavelengths; and a user interface configured to selectively control an adjustment of the light source for one or more of the duration, the intensity level, the light projection angle and the wavelength or combination of wavelengths corresponding to a light exposure of a selected time zone.
