Description

[0001] Processing unit and method for presentation of information of Al-generated lighting

[0002] FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0003] The present invention generally relates to the field of presentation of information of Al-generated lighting. More specifically, the present invention relates to the determination of presentation of information of an Al-generated light setting.

[0004] BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0005] The applications of artificial intelligence, Al, grow at an ever-increasing speed. Lighting applications, lighting systems, luminaires, etc., make no exception, and there is a large interest in developing this field with Al solutions.

[0006] Concerning texts, images, videos, etc., there may be requirements to disclose that the material has been generated by Al. More specifically, there may be regulations that compel Al-generated material to be (clearly) marked as non-human-created. However, for lighting applications such as lighting recipes, lighting settings, commissioning settings, etc., this may not necessarily be required. On the other hand, there is a wish to develop technology that may present information of Al-generated lighting applications.

[0007] Hence, solutions are of interest which are able to present information that a lighting application has been generated by Al. In particular, it is of interest to determine or decide at what circumstance(s) to present such information.

[0008] SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0009] It is an object of the present invention to provide the ability of presenting information that a lighting application has been generated by Al, and to determine or decide at what circumstance(s) to present such information.

[0010] This and other objects are achieved by providing a processing unit and a method having the features in the independent claims. Preferred embodiments are defined in the dependent claims.

[0011] According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a processing unit for determination of presentation of information of artificial intelligence, Al, generation of a light setting created by artificial intelligence, Al. The processing unit comprises a processor configured to obtain a set of parameters comprising a parameter associated with a source used by the artificial intelligence, Al, for the created light setting. The processor is further configured to determine whether to present the information of artificial intelligence, Al, generation of the created light setting based on the obtained set of parameters, and to present the information of artificial intelligence, Al, generation of the created light setting via at least one information element if presentation of the information of artificial intelligence, Al, generation of the created light setting is affirmatively determined.

[0012] According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for determination of presentation of information of artificial intelligence, Al, generation of a light setting created by artificial intelligence, Al. The method comprises the step of obtaining a set of parameters comprising a parameter associated with a source used by the artificial intelligence, Al, model / framework for the created light setting. The method further comprises the step of determining whether to present the information of artificial intelligence, Al, generation of the created light setting based on the obtained set of parameters. The method further comprises the step of presenting the information of artificial intelligence, Al, generation of the created light setting via at least one information element if presentation of the information of artificial intelligence, Al, generation of the created light setting is affirmatively determined.

[0013] Thus, the present invention is based on the idea of determination of whether to present information of artificial intelligence, Al, generation of a light setting created by artificial intelligence, Al, based on the source used by the artificial intelligence, Al, for the created light setting. If it is determined that the information of artificial intelligence, Al, generation of the created light setting is to be presented, the presentation is performed via one or more information elements.

[0014] The present invention is advantageous in that the processing unit may conveniently and efficiently present information to (a) user(s) that a light setting, created by artificial intelligence, Al, is generated by artificial intelligence, Al. The user(s) may hereby gain knowledge of the origin of the light setting.

[0015] The present invention is further advantageous in its versatility concerning the parameter(s) upon which the processing unit determines or decides to present that a light setting, created by artificial intelligence, Al, is generated by artificial intelligence, Al.

[0016] There is provided a processing unit for determination of presentation of information of artificial intelligence, Al, generation of a light setting created by artificial intelligence, Al. Hence, the processing unit is configured or arranged to determine whether or not to present information that a light setting, created by artificial lighting, is generated by artificial intelligence, Al. The processing unit comprises a processor configured to obtain a set of parameters, wherein the set of parameters may be described as a set of decision criteria. The set of parameters comprises a parameter associated with a source used by the artificial intelligence, Al, for the created light setting. Hence, the set of parameters comprises a parameter associated with a (data) source that the artificial intelligence, Al, uses to create the light setting. By the term “source”, it is here meant the source of information such as internal data (e.g. data from a user, e.g. the user’s own data), generic public data and / or data from (other) user(s), e.g. one or more (other) users comparable to the user). Hence, the artificial intelligence, Al, uses the source data for creating a light setting (recipe), wherein the source data may comprise internal and / or generic data, e.g. data related to the health or one or more users. The processor is further configured to determine whether to present the information of artificial intelligence, Al, generation of the created light setting based on the obtained set of parameters. Hence, the processor is configured to determine whether to present (i.e. affirmative determination) the information of artificial intelligence, Al, generation of the created light setting based on the obtained set of parameters or not to present (i.e. negative determination) the information. The processor is further configured to present the information of artificial intelligence, Al, generation of the created light setting via at least one information element if presentation of the information of artificial intelligence, Al, generation of the created light setting is affirmatively determined. Hence, if the processor affirmatively determines that the information will (should) be presented, the presentation of information will be performed via one or more information elements. By the term “information element”, it is hereby meant substantially any element, unit, device, or the like, which is configured or arranged to present and / or display information.

[0017] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the set of parameters may further comprise a parameter associated with an adaptation of at least one property of the created light setting to at least one characteristic of a person subjected to the created light setting. Hence, the parameter is associated with an adaptation, change, etc., of (a) property(ies) of the Al-created light setting to one or more characteristics of a person who is subjected to the created light setting. By the terms “at least one property of the created light setting”, it is here meant one or more properties, characteristics and / or features of the created light setting. Examples of properties of the created light setting may include e.g. intensity, color, etc., of the light setting. By the terms “at least one characteristic of a person”, it is here meant one or more characteristics, states and / or conditions of the person. Examples of characteristics of the person may include e.g. age, medical condition, disability(ies), etc. Hence, the parameter may be related to a level of customization of the Al-created light setting to the person, such as a tailored light setting (corresponding to a relatively high level of customization) or a generic light setting (corresponding to a relatively low level of customization). The parameter may alternatively, or in combination with the embodiment above, be associated with an adaptation of at least one property of the created light setting to at least one characteristic of a space subjected to the created light setting. For example, in case of (a) characteristic(s) of a space such as an open (closed) door, at least one property of the created light setting may be adapted accordingly. The present embodiment is advantageous in that the processing unit may determine whether or not to present the information of artificial intelligence, Al, generation of the created light setting based on the present parameter, thereby customizing the information presentation based on the created light setting property(ies) and the person and / or space characteristic(s).

[0018] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the set of parameters may further comprise a parameter associated with a well-being state of a person subjected to the created light setting. By the terms “well-being state of a person”, it is here meant a person’s well-being state and / or condition, and may encompass emotional and / or physiological states of the person. Accordingly, the “well-being state of a person” refers to a person’s overall and / or general state of being, which may include the person’s physiological (e.g. circadian), emotional, and / or mental health. Examples of a “well-being state of a person” may include e.g. the mood, temper, emotion(s), pain, stress level, etc., of a person. According to yet another example, the parameter may be associated with a medical state of a person, wherein the medical state may encompass a medical condition, health status, etc., of a person. Examples of (physiological) parameters associated with and / or indicative of the medical state of the person may include e.g. breathing rate, heart rate (variability), blood pressure, etc. It should be noted that the Al-created light setting may, or may not, influence the emotional state (and / or well-being state, medical state) of the person, and the present embodiment is hereby advantageous in that the processing unit may determine whether or not to present the information of artificial intelligence, Al, generation of the created light setting based on a degree to which the well-being state of the user is affected of the Al-created light setting. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the set of parameters may further comprise a parameter associated with a level of dynamic character of the created light setting. By the terms “level of dynamic character”, it is here meant the level, degree or amount of dynamic character. For example, a relatively low level (or even a zero level) of dynamic character of the created light setting may correspond to an almost (or completely) static character of the created light setting. Analogously, a relatively high level of dynamic character of the created light setting may correspond to a changing and / or moving character of the created light setting. It should be noted that a relatively high level of dynamic character of the created light setting may affect the wellbeing of a user, which may lead to an increased relevance of showing that the light setting is Al-generated. Hence, the present embodiment is advantageous in that the processing unit may efficiently determine information presentation of information of artificial intelligence, Al, generation of the Al-created light setting dependent on the static / dynamic character of the Al-created light setting.

[0019] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the set of parameters may further comprise a parameter associated with at least one of a level of deviation of the created light setting from at least one light setting set by a person, and a level of deviation of the created light setting from at least one previously created light setting, wherein the level of deviation of the created light from at least one previously created light setting is below a threshold, T, for each of a number, N, of previously created light settings. Hence, the parameter is associated with a level of deviation of the created light setting from a light setting set by a person (i.e. a non-AI light setting, such as a manual setting) and / or a level of deviation of the created light setting from at least one previously created light setting which is relatively small compared to (a) previously created light setting. For example, if the Al- created light setting corresponds to a relatively small tuning of a proven existing light setting or recipe, the processing unit may determine not to present information that the Al-created light setting is generated by artificial intelligence, Al. The present embodiment is advantageous in that it contributes to the determination of the processing unit whether or not to present the information of artificial intelligence, Al, generation of the created light setting.

[0020] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the set of parameters may further comprise a parameter associated with a level of at least one property of the created light setting with respect to the at least one property of a total light setting comprising a light setting set by a person and the created light setting, wherein the level of at least one property of the created light setting is above a threshold, T. Hence, the parameter is associated with a level of one or more properties (e.g. intensity, color, etc.) of the created light setting with respect to the one or more properties (e.g. intensity, color, etc.) of a total light setting comprising a light setting set by a person (i.e. a non-AI-created light setting) and the AI- created light setting, wherein the level of one or more properties of the Al-created light setting is relatively high. For example, if the total light setting or recipe contains Al-created light as well as non-AI created light, the processing unit may determine to present the information of artificial intelligence, Al, generation of the created light setting, (only) if the Al-created portion of the total light setting is relatively high. The present embodiment is advantageous in that it contributes to the determination of the processing unit whether or not to present the information of artificial intelligence, Al, generation of the created light setting.

[0021] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the set of parameters may further comprise a parameter associated with at least one lighting-commissioning task created by artificial intelligence, Al. By the term “lighting-commissioning task”, it is here meant a task and / or configuration associated with lighting-commissioning which may encompass a quality-oriented process for achieving, verifying and documenting whether the performance of lighting systems and assemblies meets defined objectives and / or criteria. For example, in case of at least one lighting-commissioning task created by artificial intelligence, Al, the processing unit may determine to present the information of artificial intelligence, Al, generation of the created light setting. The present embodiment is advantageous in that the input for the processing unit in the determination whether or not to present the information of artificial intelligence, Al, generation of the created light setting is enhanced and / or ameliorated even further.

[0022] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the parameter may be associated with at least one lighting-commissioning task created by artificial intelligence, Al, associated with at least one of a grouping of at least one of a plurality of light sources, and a plurality of sensors, a configuration of at least one light-control device, and at least one lightautomation setting. Hence, the lighting-commissioning tasks may comprise tasks such as defining grouping of sensors, defining which devices are installed in a same space (room), automation rules (e.g. for HVAC control based on lighting sensor data), etc.

[0023] It should be noted that the above-mentioned parameters of the set of parameters may be combined in substantially any manner whilst encompassing the gist of the present invention. Hence, according to an example of the present invention, there is provided a processing unit for determination of presentation of information of artificial intelligence, Al, generation of a light setting created by artificial intelligence, Al. The processor comprises a processor configured to obtain a set of parameters comprising at least one of a parameter associated with a source used by the artificial intelligence, Al, for the created light setting, a parameter associated with an adaptation of at least one property of the created light setting to at least one characteristic of a person subjected to the created light setting, a parameter associated with a well-being state of a person, a parameter associated with a level of dynamic character of the created light setting, a parameter associated with at least one of a level of deviation of the created light setting from at least one light setting set by a person, and a level of deviation of the created light setting from at least one previously created light setting, wherein the level of deviation of the created light from at least one previously created light setting is below a threshold, T, for each of a number, N, of previously created light settings, a parameter associated with a level of at least one property of the created light setting with respect to the at least one property of a total light setting comprising a light setting set by a person and the created light setting, wherein the level of at least one property of the created light setting is above a threshold, T, and a parameter associated with at least one lightingcommissioning task created by artificial intelligence, Al.

[0024] According to an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a system for presentation of information of artificial intelligence, Al, generation of a light setting created by artificial intelligence, Al. The system comprises a processing unit according to any one of the preceding embodiments, and at least one information element coupled to the processing unit. The at least one information element is configured to present information of artificial intelligence, Al, generation of the created light setting if presentation of the information of artificial intelligence, Al, generation of the created light setting is affirmatively determined by the processing unit. The present embodiment is advantageous in that the system may conveniently and efficiently inform one or more users, via the information element(s), of artificial intelligence, Al, generation of the Al-created light setting based on the obtained set of parameters.

[0025] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the at least one element, if presentation of the information of artificial intelligence, Al, generation of the created light setting is affirmatively determined by the processing unit, is configured to present information of artificial intelligence, Al, generation of the created light setting by presentation of at least one of a time period, Tb, before initiation of the created light setting, a time period, Ta, after initiation of the created light setting, and an iterative notification of information of artificial intelligence, Al, generation of the created light setting. Hence, in case the processing unit determines that the information of artificial intelligence, Al, generation of the created light setting is to be presented, the processing unit is further configured to present a time period, Tb, before initiation of the created light setting, a time period, Ta, after initiation of the created light setting, and / or an iterative notification of information of artificial intelligence, Al, generation of the created light setting. The present embodiment is advantageous in that one or more users may be conveniently informed of the Al-created light setting before and / or after the Al-created light setting, or even via an iterative notification of information of artificial intelligence, Al, generation of the created light setting.

[0026] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the system may further comprise a user interface, UI, wherein the at least one element, if presentation of the information of artificial intelligence, Al, generation of the created light setting is affirmatively determined by the processing unit, is configured to present information of artificial intelligence, Al, generation of the created light setting until an acknowledgement is received from a user via the user interface, UI. Hence, the presentation by the processing unit to a user that the Al-created light setting is generated by artificial intelligence, Al, continues until the user provides acknowledgement input via the user interface, UI. The present embodiment is advantageous in that the user, via the user interface, UI, may easily acknowledge and / or stop the information presentation that the Al-created light setting is generated by artificial intelligence, Al.

[0027] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the at least one element comprises at least one of at least one light source, at least one luminaire, and a user interface, UI, for controlling at least one light source. Hence, the element(s) configured or arranged for information presentation may be or comprise one or more of (a) light source(s), luminaire(s), a user interface, UI, etc.

[0028] According to an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a lighting system. The lighting system comprises a system according to any one of preceding embodiments, and at least one light source arranged to provide a light setting, wherein the provided light setting comprises the created light setting.

[0034] DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0035] Fig. 1 is a schematic view of a processing unit 100 according to an exemplifying embodiment of the present invention. The processing unit 100 is configured for determination of presentation of information of artificial intelligence, Al, generation of a light setting 110 created by artificial intelligence, Al. The processing unit 100 comprises a processor 200. It should be noted that the processing unit 100 and the processor 200 may be provided or arranged substantially anywhere and / or that the size, structure, etc., thereof are arbitrary, whereby the processing unit 100 and the processor 200 are presented only schematically in Fig. 1 by dashed rectangles.

[0036] The processor 200 is configured to obtain a set of parameters 300. Here, the set of parameters 300 is schematically indicated as an array or list of parameters. The set of parameters 300 comprises a parameter 300a associated with a source 410 used by the artificial intelligence, Al, for the created light setting 110. The light setting 110 is schematically indicated as emitted light from a light source 105 such as a lamp. The (schematically indicated) source 410 may, for example, comprise internal data (e.g. data from a user 280, e.g. the user’s 280 own data), generic public data and / or data from (other) user(s), e.g. one or more users comparable to the user 280). The data of the source 410 may encompass data of (from) different fields, such as previous light setting preferences, physiological parameters associated with the user 280, activity of the user 280, health and / or well-being status of the user 280, etc. Hence, the artificial intelligence, Al, uses the source data 410 for creating a light setting (recipe), wherein the source data 410 may comprise e.g. health and / or personal data (information) of the user 280. The processor 200 is configured to determine 260 whether to present the information of artificial intelligence, Al, generation of the created light setting 110 based on the obtained set of parameters 300. For example, data indicative of health conditions of the user 280 such as (poor) eyesight, ADHD, dyslexia, mental disease(s) (e.g. depression, schizophrenia, mania, etc.) may be used by the processing unit 100 whether to present the information of artificial intelligence, Al, generation of the created light setting 110. For example, presentation of the information of artificial intelligence, Al, generation of the created light setting 110 may be affirmatively determined by the processor 200 (i.e. that presentation of the information of artificial intelligence, Al, generation of the created light setting 110 will be performed) if the source 410 comprises internal data. According to yet another example, presentation of the information of artificial intelligence, Al, generation of the created light setting 110 may be negatively determined by the processor 200 (i.e. that presentation of the information of artificial intelligence, Al, generation of the created light setting 110 will not be performed) if the source 410 comprises generic public data. The processor 200 is further configured to present 270 the information of artificial intelligence, Al, generation of the created light setting 110 to the user 280 via at least one information element if presentation of the information of artificial intelligence, Al, generation of the created light setting 110 is affirmatively determined by the processor 200. It should be noted that the information element(s) for information presentation to the user 280 may be substantially any element(s). For example, the information element(s) may comprise or constitute e.g. the light source 105 as indicated in Fig. 1, whereby the information of artificial intelligence, Al, generation of the created light setting may be presented to the user 280 via light emission from the light source 105. Hence, based on the set of parameters 300 (decision criteria), the processing unit 100 decides if / whether to present information of artificial intelligence, Al, generation of the created light setting 110. If affirmative, (i.e. yes), the processing unit 100 may further decide for how long or how often to disclose to the user 280 that this light setting 110 is Al generated. The disclosure to the user 280 may be displayed as part of the light setting 110, which may be rendered in a room. Alternatively, the information / notification may be part of an UI view of the light source 105.

[0037] Fig. 2 is a schematic view of a processing unit 100 according to an exemplifying embodiment of the present invention. The set of parameters 300 further comprises a parameter 300b associated with an adaptation of at least one property 420 of the created light setting 110 to at least one characteristic 430 of a person 280 subjected to the created light setting 110. Hence, the parameter 300b is associated with an adaptation, change, etc., of (a) property(ies) 420 of the Al-created light setting 110 to one or more characteristics 430 of a person 280 who is subjected to the created light setting 110. In other words, the parameter 300b is related to a level of customization of the Al-created light setting 110 to the person 280, such as a tailored light setting 110 (corresponding to a relatively high level of customization of the light setting 110) or a generic light setting 110 (corresponding to a relatively high level of customization of the light setting 110). Examples of properties 420 of the created light setting 110 may include e.g. intensity, color, etc., of the light of the light setting 110. Examples of characteristics 430 of the person 280 may include e.g. age, medical condition, disability(ies), etc., of the person 280. The processor 200 is configured to determine 260 whether to present the information of artificial intelligence, Al, generation of the created light setting 110 based on the obtained set of parameters 300. For example, presentation of the information of artificial intelligence, Al, generation of the created light setting 110 may be affirmatively determined by the processor 200 if a value of the parameter 300b associated with an adaptation, change, etc., of (a) property(ies) 420 of the Al-created light setting 110 to one or more characteristics 430 of a person 280 who is subjected to the created light setting 110 is above a predetermined threshold. According to yet another example, presentation of the information of artificial intelligence, Al, generation of the created light setting 110 may be negatively determined by the processor 200 if said value is below the threshold. The processor 200 is further configured to present 270 the information of artificial intelligence, Al, generation of the created light setting 110 to the user 280 via at least one information element if presentation of the information of artificial intelligence, Al, generation of the created light setting 110 is affirmatively determined by the processor 200.

[0038] Fig. 3 is a schematic view of a processing unit 100 according to an exemplifying embodiment of the present invention. The set of parameters 300 may further comprise a parameter 300c associated with a well-being state 400 of a person 280 subjected to the created light setting 110, wherein the well-being state 400 of the person 280 may be e.g. the person’s 280 emotional, mental and / or physiological state(s). Example of the well-being state 400 of the person 280 may include e.g. the mood, temper, emotion(s), pain, stress level, etc., of the person 280. The well-being state 400 of the person 280 may be affected by the Al- created light setting 110 in the form(s) of e.g. circadian scene(s), wake-up scene(s), etc. The processor 200 is configured to determine 260 whether to present the information of artificial intelligence, Al, generation of the created light setting 110 based on the obtained set of parameters 300. The processor 200 is further configured to present 270 the information of artificial intelligence, Al, generation of the created light setting 110 to the user 280 via at least one information element if presentation of the information of artificial intelligence, Al, generation of the created light setting 110 is affirmatively determined by the processor 200.

[0039] Fig. 4 is a schematic view of a processing unit 100 according to an exemplifying embodiment of the present invention. The set of parameters 300 may further comprise a parameter 300d associated with a level of dynamic character 435 of the created light setting 110. For example, a relatively low level (or even a zero level) of dynamic character 435 of the created light setting 110 may correspond to an almost (or completely) static character of the created light setting 110. Analogously, a relatively high level of dynamic character 435 of the created light setting 110 may correspond to a changing and / or moving character of the created light setting 110. The processor 200 is configured to determine 260 whether to present the information of artificial intelligence, Al, generation of the created light setting 110 based on the obtained set of parameters 300. The processor 200 is further configured to present 270 the information of artificial intelligence, Al, generation of the created light setting 110 to the user 280 via at least one information element if presentation of the information of artificial intelligence, Al, generation of the created light setting 110 is affirmatively determined by the processor 200.

[0040] Fig. 5 is a schematic view of a processing unit 100 according to an exemplifying embodiment of the present invention. The set of parameters 300 may further comprise a parameter 300e associated with a level of deviation 440 of the created light setting 110 from at least one light setting set by a person 280 and / or a level of deviation 450 of the created light setting 110 from at least one previously created light setting, wherein the level of deviation 450 of the created light from at least one previously created light setting is below a threshold, T, for each of a number, N, of previously created light settings. For example, if the Al-created light setting 110 corresponds to a relatively small tuning of a proven existing light setting or recipe, the processing unit 100 may determine 260 not to present information that the Al-created light setting 110 is generated by artificial intelligence, Al. The level(s) of deviation 440, 450 (i.e. non-similarities or similarities) may, for example, be quantified by the cosine similarity of the light settings 110 in a latent space of an encoder trained for light recipe generation. Alternatively, similarities based on cosine similarity may be measured of a text prompt (or a visual prompt) used by generative Al, Gen Al, to generate an existing light setting 110 and a new light setting 110. Another example may be related to a level of deviation 440 of the created light setting 110 from at least one light setting set by a person 280 being relatively small, i.e. relatively similar light settings, and wherein the Al-generated light setting 110 involved an iteration step with the person / user 280, the information of artificial intelligence, Al, generation of the created light setting 110 may be performed. Hence, the processor 200 is configured to determine 260 whether to present the information of artificial intelligence, Al, generation of the created light setting 110 based on the obtained set of parameters 300 including the parameter 300e associated with level(s) of light setting similarity(ies). The processor 200 is further configured to present 270 the information of artificial intelligence, Al, generation of the created light setting 110 to the user 280 via at least one information element if presentation of the information of artificial intelligence, Al, generation of the created light setting 110 is affirmatively determined by the processor 200. The level of deviation 450 of the created light setting 110 from at least one light setting may furthermore be a previously approved light setting. For example, the previously approved light setting may not necessarily be approved by the person / user 280, but be approved e.g. by a trusted authority (e.g. an expert in human centric lighting).

[0041] Fig. 6 is a schematic view of a processing unit 100 according to an exemplifying embodiment of the present invention. The set of parameters 300 further comprise a parameter 300f associated with a level of at least one property of the created light setting 110 with respect to the at least one property of a total light setting 115 comprising a light setting 110b set by a person and the created light setting 110, wherein the level of at least one property of the created light setting 110 is above a threshold, T. Hence, the parameter 300f is associated with a level of one or more properties (e.g. intensity, color, etc.) of the created light setting 110 (e.g. from a first light source 105a) with respect to the one or more properties (e.g. intensity, color, etc.) of a total light setting 115 comprising a light setting 110b (e.g. from a second light source 105b) set by a person 280 and the Al-created light setting 110, wherein the level of one or more properties of the Al-created light setting 110 is relatively high. For example, if the total light setting 115 or recipe contains Al-created light 110 as well as non- Al created light 110b, the processing unit 100 may determine to present the information of artificial intelligence, Al, generation of the Al-created light setting 110, (only) if the Al-created portion of the total light setting 115 is relatively high.

[0042] Fig. 7 is a schematic view of a processing unit 100 according to an exemplifying embodiment of the present invention. The set of parameters 300 further comprises a parameter 300g associated with at least one lighting-commissioning task 460 created by artificial intelligence, Al, wherein the light commissioning task(s) is (are) 460 are schematically indicated. The lighting-commissioning task(s) 460 may encompass (a) task(s) associated with lighting-commissioning which may encompass a quality-oriented process for achieving, verifying and documenting whether the performance of lighting systems and assemblies meets defined objectives and / or criteria. For example, the at least one lightingcommissioning task 460 may be associated with a grouping of at least one of a plurality of light sources, and a plurality of sensors, a configuration of at least one light-control device, and / or at least one light-automation setting. It should be noted that the sensors are not necessarily used for controlling the lighting setting, but may be configured e.g. to count people (persons) for HVAC of office space layout optimization, to be configured e.g. for occupancy detection, etc. In case of at least one lighting-commissioning task 460 created by artificial intelligence, Al, the processing unit 100 may determine to present 270 the information of artificial intelligence, Al, generation of the created light setting 110.

[0043] Fig. 8 is a schematic view of a system 500 according to an exemplifying embodiment of the present invention. The system 500 is configured and / or arranged for presentation of information of artificial intelligence, Al, generation of a light setting 110 created by artificial intelligence, Al. The system 500 comprises a processing unit 100 according to any one of the preceding embodiments, and it is referred to one or more of the previously described embodiments for an increased understanding of the features and functions of the processing unit 100. The system 500 further comprises at least one information element 510 coupled to the processing unit 100. The information element(s) 510 is configured to present information of artificial intelligence, Al, generation of the created light setting 110 to a user 280 if presentation of the information of artificial intelligence, Al, generation of the created light setting 110 is affirmatively determined by the processing unit 100. The information element 510 may be any kind of element for display of information. The information element 510 may, for example, be or comprise the light source 105, whereby the light source 105 may present information to the user 280. The information element 510 may alternatively be (another) light source, luminaire, or a user interface, UI 600 for controlling (e.g. by the person / user 280) at least one light source. The information element 510 may be configured to present information of artificial intelligence, Al, generation of the created light setting 110 to a user 280 by presentation of a time period, Tb, before initiation of the created light setting 110 (i.e. that the information presentation is performed at a time t=to-Tb, wherein to represents the time of initiation of the created light setting 110), a time period, Ta, after initiation of the created light setting 110 (i.e. that the information presentation is performed at a time t=to+Ta, wherein to represents the time of initiation of the created light setting 110), and / or an iterative notification of information of artificial intelligence, Al, generation of the created light setting 110. The iterative notification may, for example, comprise a presentation and / or display of the notification at a certain frequency (e.g. every 5 minutes) or once at the initiation (start) of the light setting 110. The presentation of information may be also subtly overlayed on the created light setting 110. For example, the Al-created light scene may be faded in by gradually increasing its brightness from e.g. 1% to the final brightness of the created light setting 110. In this case, a color setting of the light setting is already displayed when the information that the light setting 110 is Al-generated is presented / displayed. According to yet another example, the information may be presented only when person / user 280 is looking (to the light source). The iterative notification may be presented / displayed until there is active acknowledgement by the user 280. The system 500 may further comprise a user interface, UI 600, which in Fig. 8 is exemplified as a handheld device held by the person 280. If presentation of the information of artificial intelligence, Al, generation of the created light setting 110 is affirmatively determined by the processing unit 100, the element 510 is configured to present information of artificial intelligence, Al, generation of the created light setting 110 until an acknowledgement is received from the user (person) 280 via the user interface, UI 600. Hence, the presentation via the element 510 to a user / person 280 that the Al-created light setting 110 is generated by artificial intelligence, Al, continues until the user / person 280 provides acknowledgement input via the user interface, UI 600. It will be appreciated that the acknowledgement may be provided from the user (person) 280 via pressing and / or typing on the user interface, UI 600. Alternatively, the acknowledgement may be provided from the user (person) 280 via gesture(s) and / or that the user / person 280 has noticed the presentation of information (e.g. as the user / person 280 was looking towards the light source at a specific time).

[0044] Fig. 9 is a schematically shown method 1000 according to an exemplifying embodiment of the present invention. The method 1000 is provided for determination of presentation of information of artificial intelligence, Al, generation of a light setting created by artificial intelligence, Al. The method 1000 comprises the step of obtaining 1010 a set of parameters comprising a parameter associated with a source used by the artificial intelligence, Al, for the created light setting. The method 1000 further comprises the step of determining 1020 whether to present the information of artificial intelligence, Al, generation of the created light setting based on the obtained set of parameters. The method 1000 further comprises the step of presenting 1030 the information of artificial intelligence, Al, generation of the created light setting via at least one information element if presentation of the information of artificial intelligence, Al, generation of the created light setting is affirmatively determined.
