Abstract

The invention relates to the management of atmosphere programs including lighting scenes for lighting systems, audio, video, scent or any combination of the above, particularly to a user interface for comfortably selecting an atmosphere program to be created by an atmosphere creation system. A basic idea of the invention is to provide a central control of atmosphere programs together with the possibility of interactively selecting an atmosphere program to be activated locally with an atmosphere creation system. This is particularly useful for large retail chains, which for example require a uniform lighting atmosphere in all chain shops and want to provide their shop personal to comfortably select among a predefined set of lighting scenes in an comfortable way. An embodiment of the invention relates to an atmosphere program management system () comprising a server (), which is remotely accessible via a data connection and stores atmosphere programs and a remote management client () for accessing the server and providing a user interface for managing the atmosphere programs stored by the server.
