Systems and methods for developing and distributing illumination data files

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention relate to systems and methods for creating, distributing and playing illumination data files. The illumination data files, created using luminaire development systems are uploaded to a luminaire management system, where they are further processed and packaged for sale or license within a luminaire marketplace. Consumers and enterprises using luminaires may establish accounts with the luminaire management system and marketplace to access illumination data files for playback on individual or multiple luminaires. Consumers and enterprises may also create play lists and uniquely configure the luminaires to display various lighting effects based on user preferences, environmental factors or energy efficient settings.

主权项

1. A system for the development of an illumination data file, comprising:
a luminaire development system instantiated on a first computer system and configured to download luminaire tools from a luminaire management system instantiated on a second computer system, the second computer system communicatively coupled to the first computer system, wherein said luminaire tools including a set of illumination data file creation instructions, which when executed by the first computer system instantiating the luminaire development system provide luminaire tools to a luminaire programmer for the creation of an illumination data file that includes illumination data, the illumination data including a first set of instructions for the projection of a spectral distribution of a desired illumination of a light source device, which first set of instructions, when executed by a processor of the light source device, cause the light source device to produce the desired illumination of the spectral distribution, and the first computer system instantiating the luminaire development system being configured to upload the created illumination data file to the second computer system instantiating the luminaire management system; and said second computer system instantiating the luminaire management system being configured to store the luminaire tools, provide the laminate tools to the first computer system instantiating the luminaire development system, receive the illumination data file from the first computer system instantiating the luminaire development system.
