Abstract
A method of searching an image database for images to be used in rendering lighting scene in an environment by at least one luminaire within the environment, the method comprising: receiving a search trigger comprising at least one indication of a user preference; identifying at least a position of the at least one luminaire within the environment; responsive to receiving said search trigger, searching the image database based on both the indicated user preference and the identified position to return at least one image for use in rendering the lighting scene by the at least one luminaire.
Claims13
A method of searching an image database for images to be used in rendering lighting scene in an environment by multiple luminaires within the environment, the method comprising:
- receiving a search trigger comprising at least one indication of a user preference;
- identifying at least a position of two or more of the multiple luminaires relative to each other;
- and
- responsive to receiving said search trigger, searching the image database to identify the at least one image as having at least one image feature which corresponds to the relative position of the two or more of the luminaires relative to each other for use in rendering the lighting scene by the two or more luminaires,
- wherein said searching comprises determining an infrastructure keyword from the identified position, and searching the image database based on the user preference and the infrastructure keyword.
A controller of for controlling at least one luminaire to render a lighting scene in an environment based on an image;
- the controller comprising:
- an input for receiving a search trigger comprising at least one indication of a user preference;
- an interface for sending control commands to the at least one luminaire;
- and
- a processor arranged to:
- receive the search trigger;
- identifying at least a position of the at least one luminaire relative to each other;
- retrieve at least one image by causing, responsive to receiving said search trigger, a search of an image database, at least one image as having at least one image feature which corresponds to the relative position of the two or more of the luminaires relative to each other;
- and
- control, via the interface, the two or more luminaires to render the lighting scene based on the retrieved at least one image,
- wherein said searching comprises determining an infrastructure keyword from the identified position, and searching the image database based on the user preference and the infrastructure keyword.
