Embodiment Construction

[0029] figure 1 The ambience control system 10 is schematically illustrated. The system 10 includes a data store 12 comprising data relating to the occurrence of events and ambience states associated with a particular ambience state; an ambience rendering system 14 configured to change the an ambiance; and a processor 20 configured to determine an estimated time to a next event based on data relating to the occurrence of the event, in case the next event involves an ambience state different from the current ambiance state, the ambiance presentation system 14 is configured To gradually change the ambience in the zone 16 to match said next ambience state.

[0030] The data storage 12 can be realized by a database or the like. The data may be stored on a hard drive, optical drive, cloud storage system, or any other suitable storage unit. The ambience presentation system 14 may comprise several elements including lighting equipment and scent releasing equipment. as in figure ...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method of operating an ambience control system (10) comprising an ambience rendering system (14) configured to adapt the ambience in an area (16) so as to establish a current ambience state, a data storage (12) comprising data relating to occurrence of events and ambience states, each of the events being associated with a specific ambience state, and a processor configured to determine estimated time to next event based on the data relating to occurrence of events, provided that the next event relates to an ambience state different from the current ambience state the ambience rendering system (14) (10) being configured to gradually adapt the ambience in the area (16) to match the next ambient state, the method comprising determining current ambience state, determining estimated time to next event, and operating the area (16) ambience system (10) based on the estimated time to next event. The present invention further relates to an ambience control system (10) comprising a data storage (12) comprising data relating to occurrence of events and ambience states, the events being associated with a specific ambience state, an ambience rendering system (14) configured to adapt the ambience in an area (16) corresponding to the specific ambience state, a processor configured to determine estimated time to next event based on the data relating to occurrence of event, provided that the next event relates to an ambience state being different from the current ambience state the area ambience system being configured to gradually adapt the ambience in the area (16) to match the next ambient state.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a system and method for controlling an ambience presentation system. Background technique [0002] It is recognized that patients heal faster under certain environmental conditions. The patient healing environment of the future will enable the patient to be in an atmosphere that helps the patient recover optimally, for example through adequate relaxation, or distraction. This ambiance can include soft lighting or even soothing smells and / or sounds. [0003] A potential problem with this approach is that this ambience does not create optimal working conditions for medical staff; for example, if patients prefer dim lighting for relaxation, nurses need bright lights for work tasks. It is unpleasant for the patient if there is a sudden change in the atmosphere of the area. It would be preferable for the atmosphere to change more gradually. A quick change of atmosphere is required if the caregiver is to perform his or he...
