Embodiment Construction

[0023] The following content is intended to provide a detailed description of examples of the present invention and should not be used to limit the invention itself. Rather, any number of variations may fall within the scope of the invention as defined in the claims following the description.

[0024] FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating a light tracking system that monitors a lighting control rail included in a digital content stream and adjusts ambient lighting accordingly. The user configures the light tracking system 110 to manipulate ambient lighting (ie, room lighting) in order to enhance the user's digital content viewing experience. For example, when a user is watching a movie, the light tracking system 110 may lower the living room lighting when the movie starts and increase the living room lighting when the movie ends. In addition, the user can configure the light tracking system 110 to manipulate ambient lighting during movie playback or manipulate the lighti...

Abstract

A system for and method of controlling lighting in a digital video stream is presented. A user loads digital content into a light tracking system. The digital content includes three tracks, which are a video track, an audio track, and a light control track. After loading, the user selects either a 'partial light effect setting' or a 'full light effect setting'. When the user selects a partial light effect setting, the light tracking system lowers the environmental lighting device's illumination at the beginning of the digital content's playing, and raises the environmental lighting device's illumination at the end of the digital content's playing. When the user selects a full light effect setting, the light tracking system adjusts the environmental lighting device's illumination throughout the digital content's playback, as well as lowering and raising the environmental lighting device's illumination at the beginning and the end of the movie, respectively.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a system and method for controlling lighting in a digital video stream. More specifically, the present invention relates to a system and method for analyzing lighting change identifiers corresponding to lighting changes in digital content and manipulating ambient lighting based on the lighting change identifiers. Background technique [0002] Digital content technologies, such as digital versatile disk (DVD) technology, have evolved over the years to allow users to experience enhanced video and audio effects in the comfort of their homes. For example, a DVD includes a video track with a high-definition video signal that produces a high-definition image on a display. In addition, DVDs include audio tracks that provide high-quality audio signals. When used in conjunction with a home entertainment system, users can recreate the "theatre" experience at home. [0003] However, the challenge today is to provide users with ...
