Lighting system and method for generating lighting scenes

Abstract

Methods and systems for generating and controlling a lighting scene of an environment (100) are described. The environment (100) has one or more controllable lighting devices (140, 150, 160, 170, 180, 190). A keyword for a desired lighting scene for the environment is received, such as “nature”, and one or more images of the environment are provided in which at least one of the one or more lighting devices is controlled to provide an effect on the environment. An image source is explored, based on the keyword and images retrieved. The provided images are compared with the retrieved images to generate one or more lighting scenes and associated parameters of the one or more lighting devices, and the keyword associated with the one or more lighting scenes. The comparison may comprise one or more of color contrast, hue matching, pattern recognition to derive the lighting scenes and associated parameters to reproduce the lighting scene in the environment (100) upon recall of the keyword.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
