A lighting system has a controller which receives input information from physiological sensors associated with users in the area illuminated by the lighting system. Anxiety is detected of a user or users when in or approaching a particular region of the area, and the lighting is changed to reduce the anxiety. In this way, lighting changes only need to be made when there is a need based on the response of the particular users. The system thus 5 enables energy savings as well as more stable lighting conditions.

Lighting system and a lighting method

Disclosed is a system () comprising a head-mountable eye tracking sensor (), a processor () coupled to said eye tracking sensor and at least one light source (') under control of said processor, wherein the at least one light source is arranged to generate a configurable luminous distribution () into a field of view of the wearer of the eye tracking sensor; and the processor is adapted to configure said luminous distribution in response to eye tracking data obtained from said eye tracking sensor. A method of controlling such a system and a computer program product for implementing such a method are also disclosed.

System, method and computer program for hands-free configuration of a luminous distribution

A method of automatically commissioning a lighting system comprising a plurality of luminaires for illuminating one or more regions within a space. The method comprises: receiving signals from a positioning system, indicating a respective location within the space at which each of a plurality of physical entities is detected by the positioning system, each of the entities being a person or a movable nonhuman object. The method further comprises determining a spatial distribution of at least some of the entities based on the locations indicated by the signals from the positioning system, and determining a region within the space corresponding to this spatial distribution. The method then comprises identifying a group of the luminaires that are arranged to illuminate the determined region and storing identifiers of those luminaires together as a group in a commissioning database.

Controlling lighting using spatial distribution of users

A method of augmenting an illumination perception by one or more wearers of respective head-mountable computing devices each including at least one transparent display module is disclosed. The method comprises determining a desired light condition for said wearer in a space, determining an actual light condition for said wearer in said space; and displaying a semi-transparent image on the at least one transparent display module to filter the light passing through the at least one display module in case the actual light condition differs from the desired light condition. In embodiments, the user preferences may be used to perform a global optimization of the light output by one or more (distributed) light sources of a lighting system. Computer program products comprising computer program code for implementing such a method when executed on a suitable processor, a head-mountable computing device and a lighting system are also disclosed.

Illumination perception augmentation method, computer program products, head-mountable computing device and lighting system that adjusts a light output of a light source based on a desired light condition

A method for controlling the output of contextual information to assist a user to perform a sequence of activities using a computing device, the computing device comprising or coupled to at least one wearable sensor and at least one output device for providing contextual information, the method comprising: identifying, using sensor information from the at least one sensor, an activity being performed by the user; selecting and controlling the output of contextual information based on the activity being performed by the user, the contextual information being output from the at least one output device to a user to assist the user in performing the identified activity.

Controlling the output of contextual information using a computing device

A wearable devicefor controlling a controllable devicebased on an interaction with an objectis disclosed. The wearable devicecomprises a device detection unitfor detecting proximity of the object, an action detection unitfor detecting an action indicative of an interaction of a user wearing the wearable devicewith the objectand a processing unitfor generating a control command for controlling the controllable devicebased on the detected proximity of the objectand based on the action indicative of an interaction with the object. The wearable devicefurther comprises a communication unitfor sending the control command to the controllable device. Thereby, the wearable deviceis able to detect the use of the objectand adjust the control parameters of the controllable deviceto create context-related use conditions. This may improve the control of the controllable deviceand this may offer new interaction possibilities between the wearable device, the controllable deviceand the object

Interaction detection wearable control device

The invention relates to a method enabling commissioning of a system comprising a plurality of controllable devices capable of transmitting their identification signals. The method includes receiving identification signals from the devices, displaying a map of a structure and icons corresponding to the devices from which the identification signals have been received, detecting a first user input indicating a selection by a user of a first icon from the displayed icons, the first icon corresponding to a first device, and, in response to the first user input, providing a command to the first device to issue a cue identifying the first device to the user. The method further includes, subsequent to the first device issuing the cue, detecting a second user input indicating a selection by the user of a location on the map for the first icon, and displaying the first icon on the map at the selected location.

Tablet-based commissioning tool for addressable lighting

The present invention relates to a lighting system () arranged to control a light intensity and a color temperature of light in a room (). The lighting system comprising: a light source () arranged to emit light, the light source () comprising a first and second light emitters () each being adjustable between a number of light intensity levels and arranged to emit light having a first and second color temperature, respectively. The light source () is arranged to provide an output signal (OS) comprising information pertaining to a light intensity level of said first and second light emitters (), respectively; a light sensor () arranged to measure the light intensity and the color temperature of the light in the room, and to provide a sense signal (SS) comprising information pertaining to the measured light intensity and color temperature; and a controller () arranged to control the color temperature and the light intensity of the light in the room () by adjusting the light intensity level of said first and second light emitters (), based on said sense signal (SS) provided by the light sensor () and said output signal (OS) provided by the light source ().
