Abstract

The invention describes a method of controlling a system (1) comprising one or more components (C1, C2, ..., Cn), which method comprises the steps of aiming a pointing device (2) comprising a camera (3) in the direction of one or more of the components (C1, C2, ..., Cn), generating image data (4) of a target area A() aimed at by the pointing device (2), encompassing at least part of one or more of the components (C1, C2, ..., Cn), and analyzing the image data (4) to determine position information (P) pertaining to the position of the user (5) relative to one or more of the components (C1, C2,..., Cn) at which the pointing device (2) is being aimed and / or to relative positions of the components. The system (1) is subsequently controlled according to the position information. Furthermore, the invention describes a corresponding control system (10), a home entertainment system, and a lighting system. The invention further describes a method of acquiring dimensional data (D) for use in the image data analysis.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method of controlling a system having one or more components, and a control system for controlling such a system. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method of obtaining dimensional data for a component of such a system. The invention also relates to a home entertainment system and a lighting system. Background technique [0002] A home entertainment system, found in many homes today, often includes components, such as a television and a receiver or amplifier, and some speakers, such as a set of surround speakers. Because homes are designed and decorated in any number of ways, and because the tastes of their owners are different, it can indeed be concluded that almost every home entertainment system is set up differently, and that each user is about his Everyone has different expectations or opinions about what is suitable for him in a home entertainment system. [0003] Some home entertainment systems allow for person...
