GESTURE-BASED CONTROL TECHNIQUES FOR LIGHTING SYSTEMS

摘要

Techniques and architecture are disclosed for gesture-based control techniques for lighting systems. In some cases, the lighting system may include a camera and/or other suitable componentry to interpret gestures made by a user for controlling light output. In some such cases, the gesture performed and/or the location of the gesture may determine how the light output is controlled. In some cases, the gestures may be performed by moving a mobile computing device, such as a smartphone, tablet, or dedicated light controller device. In some such cases, sensors included in or otherwise operatively coupled to the computing device (gravitational sensors, accelerometers, gyroscopic sensors, etc.) may be used to detect the movement of the device and the related gestures. The gestures may be used to navigate a user interface that allows a user to control light output by adjusting different attributes of the light output, such as light intensity and color.

主权项

1. A computing device comprising:
a processor configured to determine a gesture made by the computing device, the gesture determination based on motion of the computing device; and a communication module configured to transmit a control signal to a luminaire including at least one solid-state light source configured to output light, wherein the control signal is based on the gesture determined by the processor and is capable of controlling the light output.
