Ambient Lighting Control via Artistic Intent Analysis
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional methods for modulating ambient lighting during entertainment consumption lack responsiveness to the artistic intent of content producers, failing to interpret and replicate the intended color, brightness, or camera position, resulting in a non-immersive experience.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that utilize software code executed by a computing platform to analyze entertainment content attributes, interpret artistic intent, and compose ambient lighting routines, which are then applied to lighting elements to enhance the viewing experience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional methods use average color values and pixel intensities across entire video frames to modulate ambient lighting, then the lighting responds to transitions within content, but the lighting fails to interpret the artistic intent motivating the use of color, brightness, or camera position
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the video frame into multiple regions (e.g., foreground, background, sky, land) and analyzes color and brightness attributes separately for each region. This allows the system to capture nuanced artistic intent in different parts of the scene while maintaining manageable complexity through modular processing of each segment.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary processing layer that analyzes video content attributes (color, brightness, camera position) and translates them into lighting control commands. This intermediary layer interprets artistic intent by comparing consecutive frames and detecting changes in visual attributes, then maps these changes to appropriate lighting adjustments without requiring direct complex control logic in the lighting devices themselves.
2Adaptability or versatility
If ambient lighting effects are generated as aftermarket effects independent of artistic intent, then lighting can be added in private content consumption environments, but the lighting effects do not authentically reflect the producer's creative vision
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary analysis of video content to extract artistic intent information (color schemes, brightness patterns, camera position changes) before generating lighting effects. By pre-processing the video frames to identify visual attributes and their changes, the system captures the artistic intent embedded in the original production while enabling aftermarket lighting synchronization that reflects the producer's creative vision.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism that continuously monitors video content attributes and adjusts lighting effects in real-time based on detected changes. By comparing consecutive frames and measuring changes in color, brightness, and camera position, the system creates a closed-loop control system that maintains synchronization with the content's artistic intent throughout playback.

AI summary
According to one implementation, a system for supplementing entertainment content with ambient lighting includes a computing platform having a hardware processor and a memory storing a software code. The hardware processor is configured to execute the software code to receive an entertainment content, detect one or more attributes of the entertainment content that correspond to an artistic intent of a producer of the entertainment content, and interpret the artistic intent of the producer of the entertainment content using the detected one or more attributes. The hardware processor is further configured to execute the software code to compose an ambient lighting routine as a supplement to the entertainment content based on the interpreted artistic intent.
