Systems and methods for managing interaction with controllable lighting networks are disclosed. Particularly, a user's input regarding the user's preferred level of interaction with a controllable lighting network is used in conjunction with memories and processors, to selectively allow the controllable lighting network access to the user's personal data such as the user's identity or the user's personal lighting preferences. A user's preferred level of interaction with a controllable lighting network is also used, in conjunction with personal mobile electronic communication devices, to allow the user to control lighting within controllable lighting networks.

Systems and methods for managing interaction with controllable lighting networks

Disclosed is an intelligent lighting network for facilitating operation of a lighting system including at least one controllable light source and configured to generate light representing light avatars uniquely associated one or more users of a plurality of users. The light avatar is a light pattern suitable to represent the user and/or convey information about the user to other users.

Intelligent lighting network for generating light avatars

Light-based systems for communicating information associated with service orders and/or the identification of personal objects are disclosed. A personal mobile electronic communication device is used in conjunction with a communication network and a lighting controller to communicate service orders by lighting with one or more individually controllable luminaries in a lighting network. A personal mobile electronic communication device is, alternatively or additionally, used in conjunction with a communication network, a memory, and a lighting controller controlling to indicate by lighting whether there is an association between the personal mobile electronic communication device and a personal item.

Systems and apparatus for the light-based communication of service orders and personal objects identification

A lighting tool for setting lighting parameters of a plurality of light sources (). A processor () is provided which is connectable to the plurality of light sources (), and arranged to control lighting parameters of each of the plurality of light sources (). A position storage unit () is connected to the processor () for storing spatial positions of the plurality of light sources (). A camera arrangement () is connected to the processor () for providing a view of at least part of a scene illuminated by the plurality of light sources (). The processor () is arranged to correlate a viewing area of the camera arrangement () and a retrieved spatial position of one or more of the plurality of light sources ().

Lighting tool for creating light scenes

Light-based systems for communicating information associated with service orders and/or the identification of personal objects are disclosed. A personal mobile electronic communication device is used in conjunction with a communication network and a lighting controller to communicate service orders by lighting with one or more individually controllable luminaires in a lighting network. A personal mobile electronic communication device is, alternatively or additionally, used in conjunction with a communication network, and a lighting controller controlling an illumination proximate to the personal mobile electronic communication device such that the illumination proximate to the personal mobile electronic communication device visually indicates the service order.
