TECHNIQUES AND PHOTOGRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE FOR CONTROLLING SOLID-STATE LUMINAIRE WITH ELECTRONICALLY ADJUSTABLE LIGHT BEAM DISTRIBUTION

摘要

Techniques and user interfaces (UIs) are disclosed for controlling a solid-state luminaire having an electronically adjustable light beam distribution. The disclosed UI may be configured, in accordance with some embodiments, to provide a user with the ability to control, by wireless and/or wired connection, the light distribution of an associated solid-state luminaire in a given space. The UI may be hosted by any computing device, portable or otherwise, and may be used to control any given light distribution capability provided by a paired luminaire. In accordance with some embodiments, the user may provide such control without need to know details about the luminaire, such as the quantity of solid-state lamps, or their individual addresses, or the address of the fixture itself. In some cases, the disclosed techniques may involve acquiring spatial information of the space that hosts the luminaire and/or providing user-selected distribution of light within that space.

主权项

1. A method of electronically controlling a light beam distribution of a solid-state luminaire, the method comprising:
presenting a field of selectable control features on a computing device configured to be communicatively coupled with the solid-state luminaire, wherein at least one of the field of selectable control features is presented as a photographical canvas depicting a target space to be lighted by the solid-state luminaire and including one or more selectable zones corresponding to one or more regions of the target space; and adjusting the light beam distribution of the solid-state luminaire based on a selection of one of the one or more selectable zones.
