Embodiment Construction
[0017] The presently preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail, and examples of these preferred embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings.
[0018] Generally, systems and methods for providing users with ambient light effects when watching TV shows, movies, or playing video games are described herein. The ambient light effect can be generated by one or more lighting devices based on information contained in a video file representing a TV show, movie, or video game. The video content may be received by the device and a command may be sent to one or more lighting fixtures determined to be used to generate the ambient light effect via the home automation system controller to generate the ambient light effect. The home automation system controller can be integrated into the receiving device and can be located separately from the receiving device. Ambient light effects can be associated with various events or action sequences in TV shows,...

The invention relates to ambient light effects based on a video via home automation. A system for controlling ambient light effects comprises a receiving device including at least one processor programmed to parse incoming video content to detect at least one portion of the incoming video content and determine at least one ambient light effect to be associated with the portion of the video content. The system further comprises a home automation controller in communication with the processor and at least one lighting device in communication with the receiving device and the home automation controller. The processor of the receiving device is programmed to send a command to the home automation controller specifying the ambient light effect determined by the processor to be associated with the portion of the video content. The lighting device generates the ambient light effect specified in the command when the portion of the video content is displayed to a user.
Description
Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to ambient light effects, and more specifically, to ambient light effects generated by a home automation system based on information contained in a video file. Background technique [0002] Television shows, movies, and video games more commonly provide visual stimuli from television screen displays and audio stimuli from speakers connected to the television. There are known systems that attempt to enhance the physical examination of the viewer / user by providing a more interactive / responsive environment. For example, some video game systems cause lighting devices such as lights to produce ambient light effects ("ALE") during game play. [0003] In order to provide a pleasant interactive medical examination, the lighting device needs to produce the ambient light effect at the appropriate time when the relevant scene is displayed to the user. Therefore, a system capable of generating an ambient light effect needs to be able to re...
