User interface and method for control of light system

摘要

An interface device for controlling light sources includes a target region; and a controller that associates a preset with an illumination region, and controls a light source in the illumination region when an indicator associated with the preset and illumination region is moved into the target region. The controller associates the preset with the illumination region when the preset is moved to an area of the interface device associated with the illumination region. The controller is further configured to change light attributes of light emitted from the light source when the indicator is moved across the target region, such as providing maximum intensity when the indicator is at the center of the target region. The light attributes include intensity, color, hue, saturation, beam direction and/or beam width of the light.

1. An interface device for controlling at least one light source in an illumination region, said interface device comprising:
a display comprising a screen, resistive disc, or capacitive disc; a target region displayed on the display, the target region comprising an outer edge and a center region; an indicator displayed at a location on the display, wherein the location of the indicator on the display is configured to be reversibly moveable from outside the target region to a plurality of different locations inside the target region by a user touching the display; and a controller configured to adjust an attribute of the at least one light source in the illumination region based on movement of the indicator from outside the target region to one of the plurality of different locations inside the target region by the user, wherein each of the plurality of different locations inside the target region is associated with a different preset adjustment of the attribute, and further wherein the amount of the adjustment of the attribute increases from a minimum at the outer edge to a maximum at the center region.
