Abstract
A light system configured for reserving and/or dynamically moving/arranging spaces for participants in a class may include a plurality of cells disposed on a surface, each cell having one or more lights disposed therein. Each light is in communication with a controller configured to control at least one of a color, a pattern, and a brightness of each light. The light system may be configured to allow a participant of the class to reserve a space prior to the class and have the space emit light indicating the space is reserved proximate a start time of the class.
Claims18
A reservation system comprising:
- a plurality of cells located along a surface, each cell of the plurality of cells having a cavity underneath the surface, the cavity housing one or more lights;
- and
- a transceiver configured to:
- receive first reservation data from a first user device indicating a first selected space associated with a first participant, and
- receive second reservation data from a second user device associated with a second participant;
- a processor communicatively coupled to each of the lights in the plurality of cells and configured to:
- identify one or more cells of the plurality of cells associated with the first selected space associated with the first participant,
- adjust a color emitted by lights of the identified one or more cells to indicate that the first selected space associated with the first participant is reserved,
- determine that there is insufficient capacity for the second participant based on previously received reservation data from other participants,
- determine that there is sufficient capacity for the second participant if one or more spaces of the other participants are adjusted, and
- automatically adjust locations of the one or more spaces of the spaces of the other participants to accommodate for the second participant.

A system for reserving spaces for a class, the system comprising:
- a plurality of cells on a surface, each cell of the plurality of cells having one or more lights;
- a floor controller electrically coupled to the one or more lights of each cell of the plurality of cells, the floor controller configured to:
- receive a first reservation data for a first participant for a first space, the first space defined by a first portion of cells of the plurality of cells,
- command the one or more lights of the first portion of cells to emit at least one of a first color or a first pattern proximate a start time of the class,
- receive a second reservation data for a second participant for a second space, the second space defined by a second portion of cells of the plurality of cells,
- determine that there is insufficient capacity for the second participant based on previously received reservation data from other participants,
- determine that there is sufficient capacity for the second participant if one or more spaces of the other participants are adjusted, and
- automatically adjust locations of the one or more spaces of the spaces of the other participants to accommodate for the second participant.

A method comprising:
- receiving, by a transceiver, first reservation data associated with a first user indicating a first selected space, the first selected space being a first portion of cells of a plurality of cells on a surface;
- commanding, by a processor, one or more lights associated with the first selected space to emit a first color or a first pattern;
- receiving, by the transceiver, second reservation data associated with a second user indicating a second selected space, the second selected space being a second portion of cells of the plurality of cells on the surface;
- determining, by the processor, that there is insufficient capacity for the second user based on previously received reservation data from other users;
- determining, by the processor, that there is sufficient capacity for the second user if one or more spaces of the other participants are adjusted;
- and
- automatically adjusting, by the processor, locations of the one or more spaces of the spaces of the other participants to accommodate for the second user.
