Embodiment Construction

[0031] Reference will now be made in detail to the illustrative embodiments of the invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

[0032] Figure 1A Illustrated is a light-based system 100 for forming social connections in accordance with many embodiments of the invention. System 100 includes lighting controller 110 , processor 120 , memory 130 , communication network 140 , lighting controller 150 and memory 160 .

[0033] The lighting controller 110 controls a plurality of individually controllable luminaires 175 in the lighting network 170 via the link 106, and transmits a first signal indicative of the first location identifier and an indication associated with the first location identifier via the link 101. The second signal of the connected first partial light setting.

[0034] The term "lighting controller" is used herein generically to describe various devices related to the operation of one or more luminaires. Controllers, including light...

Abstract

Light-based systems for communicating information associated with the formation of social connections are disclosed. One or more lighting controllers controlling individually controllable luminaires are used in conjunction with communication networks in order to identify and form remote light-based social connections. Additionally, visualization controllers are used in conjunction with visualization infrastructures, visualization actuators, localization systems and identification systems to visually identify proximally present potential social connections.

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...
