According to a first aspect disclosed herein, there is provided a controller for controlling at least one first luminaire to render lighting scenes in a first environment; the controller comprising: a first input for receiving a lighting sequence defining a first lighting scene to be rendered in the first environment at least until a trigger is received and a second lighting scene to be rendered in response to receiving said trigger in the first environment, thus replacing the first lighting scene; a second input arranged to receive data indicating user presence within the first environment; an output; and a processor arranged to: receive the lighting sequence via the first input; control, via the output, the at least one first luminaire to render the first lighting scene in accordance with the lighting sequence; receive an indication of the trigger and in response thereto, determine, based on data received via the second input, a user presence value within the first environment; and control, via the output, the at least one first luminaire to render the second lighting scene on condition that the determined user presence value does not exceed a predetermined threshold presence value.

Lighting control

The present invention relates to assisting a user in selecting a lighting device design by providing a lighting device design based on a model or image of a lighting device design (e.g. the user uploading an image of an existing lighting device in his/her home). The lighting device design of the model or image is analyzed in order to determine a lighting device design related variable (e.g. type, shape or color of lighting device design). This variable is then used to select a lighting device design from a set of lighting device designs (e.g. to select a lighting device design of the same color, from an electronic catalogue of lighting device designs); or to generate a lighting device design (e.g. to generate a lighting device design that is a copy of the lighting device design in the image, only smaller and in a different color). The invention further includes a system and computer program product for implementation of this method.

Assisting a user in selecting a lighting device design

The present invention relates to assisting a user in selecting a lighting device () design through receiving an image of a scene, e.g. the user taking a picture using his/her smartphone of his/her living room () and analyzing this image in order to select or generate a lighting device () design. The analysis can comprise determining the presence of a pattern, material or color in the scene and a lighting device () design can be selected (e.g. from an electronic catalog) that comprises a similar pattern, material or color. As another example, a lighting device () design can be generated to match such a pattern, material or color. The invention further comprises a system and computer program product for implementation of this method.
