METHOD OF PRIORITIZING AND SYNCHRONIZING EFFECT FUNCTIONS IN AN ILLUMINATION DEVICE

摘要

The present invention relates to an illumination device comprising a number of light sources arranged in a first group and in a second and controlling means adapted to control the first group and said second group individually. The controlling means is further adapted to control of light sources based on an input signal indicative of at least a first effect function and a second effect function. The first effect function generates a first output related to the light sources and said second effect function generates a second output light sources. The first and second effect functions are stored in a memory in the in the illumination device. The that controlling means is adapted to control the first and the second group of light sources based on a priority schema and/or synchronizing schema both stored in a memory in the illumination device. The priority schema comprising a number of priority rules defining how the first effect function and the second effect must be executed in relation to each other, and the synchronizing schema comprises a number of synchronizing functions defining how the controlling means must execute the first effect function and the second effect function in relation to time and in relation to each other. The present invention relates also to a method of controlling such illumination device.

1. A method of controlling an illumination device, said illumination device comprises a number of light sources arranged in at least a first group of light sources and in a second group of light sources, where said method comprises:
controlling said first group of light sources and said second group of light sources individually based on an input signal indicative of at least a first effect function and at least a second effect function; where said first effect function generates a first output related to said number of light sources and said second effect function generates a second output related to said light sources; said first and second effect function being stored in a memory in said illumination device; wherein the controlling is based a priority schema stored in a memory in said illumination device; where said priority schema comprises a number of priority rules defining how said first effect function and said second effect function must be executed in relation to each other in the case that said first output and said second output relates to at least one identical output parameter.
