Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates generally to light-based systems and devices for social communication. More particularly, the present invention relates to light-based systems for communicating information associated with the formation of social connections. Background technique
[0002] Digital lighting technology, that is, lighting based on semiconductor light sources such as light-emitting diodes (LEDs), today offers a viable alternative to traditional fluorescent, HID and incandescent lamps. Recent advances in LED technology combined with their many functional advantages, such as high energy conversion and light efficiency, durability, and low operating costs, have led to the development of efficient and robust full-spectrum lighting sources for a variety of lighting effects. For example, fixtures implementing these lighting sources may include one or more LEDs capable of generating different colors (e.g., red, green, and blue) and a device for indep...
