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.

主权项

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, said light emitting source being adjustable for a plurality of lighting characteristics including a duration, an intensity level, a light projection angle, and a wavelength or combination of wavelengths; and a user interface configured to:
receive a selection of a time zone from a plurality of selectable time zones;determine a plurality of parameters corresponding respectively to the plurality of lighting characteristics based on the selected time zone; andselectively control an adjustment of one or more of the plurality of lighting characteristics of the light emitting source using the plurality of parameters.
