The present disclosure provides intelligent lighting control systems. The lighting control systems include a switch control circuit including a processor configured to cause a transmitter communicably coupled to the processor to initiate direct wireless communication with a mobile electronic device via a wireless protocol, the mobile electronic device operating a mobile application and communicably coupled to a remote server system via a dual factor authentication. The processor is configured to broadcast a device pin to the mobile electronic device via the wireless protocol, wherein the device pin comprises one or more of a serial number, a UUID and an actuator state. The processor is configured to obtain Wi-Fi credentials from the application via an encrypted exchange with the mobile electronic device. The processor is configured to initiate an authentication sequence with the remote server system using the Wi-Fi credentials and the device pin.

Intelligent lighting control system secure connection control apparatuses, systems, and methods

The present disclosure provides intelligent lighting control systems for adjusting a user interface on a mobile electronic device. A user input requested via the user interface to change a lighting state of one or more light emitting elements in a luminaire connected to a lighting control system communicably coupled to a server system is detected. A transaction identification (ID) code is generated on the mobile electronic device. A display of an icon displayed in the user interface is changed. The icon depicts a status of the one or more light emitting elements. The transaction identification code and a request to change the lighting state to be transmitted from the mobile electronic device to the server system. A change notification received by the server system is analyzed to determine if it includes the transaction ID code. The display state of the icon is either changed on maintained based on the analysis.

Intelligent lighting control system transaction identification apparatuses, systems, and methods

The present disclosure provides intelligent lighting control systems and methods. The methods include modulating, via a mobile electronic device, a characteristic of each light circuit in a plurality of light circuits connected to a respective lighting control module in a plurality of lighting control modules. The characteristic is modulated for each light circuit in the plurality of light circuits sequentially. The characteristic impacts at least one of the light intensity, light color, and color temperature of a light bulb connected to a light fixture connected to the respective light circuit, the mobile electronic device communicably coupled to the plurality of lighting control modules. The methods include capturing, via the mobile electronic device, a plurality of images of a room contemporaneously with the modulation of the characteristic. The methods include identifying, on the mobile electronic device, a region of the room impacted by the respective modulations of the characteristic.

Intelligent lighting control system method for mapping light circuits

Various embodiments provide methods and systems for users and business owners to share content and/or links to visual elements of a place at a physical location, and, in response to a user device pointing at a tagged place, causing the content and/or links to the visual elements of the place to be presented on the user device. In some embodiments, content and links are tied to specific objects at a place based at least in part upon one of Global Positioning System (GPS) locations, Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) orientations, compass data, or one or more visual matching algorithms. Once the content and links are attached to the specific objects of the place, they can be discovered by a user with a portable device pointing at the specific objects in the real world.

Sharing links in an augmented reality environment

Systems and methods for displaying 3D containers in a computer generated environment are described. A computing device may provide a user with a catalog of objects which may be purchased. In order to view what an object may look like prior to purchasing the object, a computing device may show a 3D container that has the same dimensions as the object. As discussed herein, the 3D container may be located and oriented based on a two-dimensional marker. Moreover, some 3D containers may contain a representation of an object, which may be a 2D image of the object.

Augmented reality product preview

Various embodiments relating to predictive analytics from visual data are described. For example, a system associated with a matching service can obtain visual data that includes content related to a marketing campaign associated with a particular product or service. The system can determine image information that contains one or more objects relating to a logo for the particular brand or product. The system can process the content item using one or more machine vision algorithms. The system can determine usage data associated with the particular product or service based at least in part on the one or more feature descriptors. The system can aggregate the usage data with other usage data relating to different users across different time periods to compile a database of insight information with respect to the particular product or service. The system can determine one or more usage patterns relating to the particular product or service.

Predictive analytics from visual data

Systems and methods for displaying an image of a virtual object in an environment are described. A computing device is used to capture an image of a real environment including a marker. One or more virtual objects which do not exist in the real environment are displayed in the image based at least on the marker. The distance and orientation of the marker may be taken into account to properly size and place the virtual object in the image. Further, virtual lighting may be added to an image to indicate to a user how the virtual object would appear with the virtual lighting.

Improving advertisement relevance

Approaches enable images submitted by users, owner, and/or authorized person of a point of interest (e.g., a place, a scene, an object, etc.) to be used as a fiducial to assist recognition and tracking of the point of interest in an augmented reality environment. Multiple images (e.g., crowd-sourced images) of a point of interest taken from different points of view can be dynamically used. For example, as a user with a user device moves through a point of interest, a different image can be chosen from a set of stored candidate images of the point of interest based at least upon GPS locations, IMU orientations, or compass data of the user device. In this way, instead of relying on artificial fiducial images for various detection and tracking approaches, approaches enable images submitted by users and/or an owner or other authorized person of a point of interest to be used as fiducials to assist recognition and tracking of the point of interest.

Adaptive fiducials for image match recognition and tracking

Various embodiments enable a computing device to perform tasks such as highlighting words in an augmented reality view that are important to a user. For example, word lists can be generated and the user, by pointing a camera of a computing device at a volume of text, can cause words from the word list within the volume of text to be highlighted in a live field of view of the camera displayed thereon. Accordingly, users can quickly identify textual information that is meaningful to them in an Augmented Reality view to aid the user in sifting through real-world text.

Automated highlighting of identified text

The subject technology provides embodiments for performing fast corner detection in a given image for augmented reality applications. Embodiments disclose a high-speed test that examines intensities of pairs of pixels around a candidate center pixel. In one example, the examined pairs are comprised of pixels that are diametrically opposite ends of a circle formed with the candidate center pixel. Further, a pyramid of images including four rings of surrounding pixels is generated. An orientation of the pixels from the four rings are determined and a vector of discrete values of the pixels are provided. Next, a forest of trees are generated for the vector of discrete values corresponding to a descriptor for a first image. For a second image including a set of descriptors, approximate nearest neighbors are determined from the forest of tree representing closest matching descriptors from the first image.
