Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods using functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) and electroencephalograph (EEG) systems are expensive and impractical for commercial human-centric lighting systems, as they cannot reliably correlate brainwave patterns with blood oxygen-level dependent (BOLD) contrast responses to determine emotions accurately.

Innovation Solution

Establish a correlation between EEG brainwave patterns and fMRI BOLD responses to develop a dynamic spectrum program for human-centric lighting, using a cloud-based software as a service (SaaS) system to create situational dynamic spectrum programs that adjust lighting parameters based on emotional responses, and utilize a cloud database to store and adjust lighting parameters for personalized emotional experiences.

AI summary

The present invention relates to an editing method of a dynamic spectrum program, which includes the following steps. Downloading the spectral recipe is to download the spectral recipe with multi light scene with specific color temperature or at least one specific color temperature to the editing device through the internet, and connect the editing device with the software as a service system or platform as a service system configured in the cloud. Perform the correlation editing between the specific function and the spectral recipe. The editing device divides the specific function to be achieved into multiple blocks through the software as a service system or the platform as a service system, and the blocks correspond to the spectral recipe of the multi light scene respectively. And forming a functional dynamic spectrum program, which is to configure multiple blocks for corresponding time to form a dynamic spectrum program.
