MOBILE DEVICE APPLICATION FOR REMOTELY CONTROLLING AN LED-BASED LAMP

摘要

A mobile application is disclosed that allows a user to configure an LED-based lamp. The LED-based lamp has the capability of color matching color spectrums and calibrating its correlated color temperatures, brightness, and hue based on a color model. The mobile application can send or schedule commands actively or passively to activate the color matching and calibration process on the LED-based lamp. The mobile application can further receive status information regarding the LED-based lamp including fault detection, estimated life time, temperature, power consumption, or any combination thereof.

主权项

1. A method of operating a mobile device to control a light-emitting diode (LED)-based lamp, comprising:
providing a user interface to be displayed to a user, wherein the user interface includes:
a first control for selecting a lamp,a second control for capturing with a sensor a target light having a target spectrum, anda third control for initiating generation by the lamp a light having a light spectrum that substantially matches the target spectrum;receiving a lamp command through the user interface to select a preferred lamp;receiving a capture command through the user interface to capture the target light at the sensor;receiving a reproduction command through the user interface to generate the target spectrum with the preferred lamp;transmitting the received commands from the mobile device to an external controller,wherein the external controller communicates with the preferred lamp to determine an operating point of the preferred lamp that generates light having a light spectrum substantially matching the target spectrum.
