Abstract
A networked lighting system is provided which stores, e.g. in a lighting controller node, lighting control data such as scenes or rules based on receiving such data from an application running on a first computer device. An identification of the application which lighting control data was received from is stored alongside this data. When an input is received by (a node in) the networked lighting system from an application running on a second computer device indicating that the lighting control data is to be edited, an application call is executed such that the application the lighting control data was received from is run on this second computer device.
Claims15
A computer implemented method for controlling a networked lighting system based on lighting control data, the method comprising:
- receiving the lighting control data from an application running on a first computer device,
- storing a data set in a node of the networked lighting system, the data set based on the lighting control data and comprising identification data identifying the application which the lighting control data was created with,
- receiving from an application running on a second computer device an input indicating an editing of the lighting control data,
- retrieving the identification data comprised in the data set which is based on the lighting control data, and
- executing an application call based on the retrieved identification data causing the second computer device to run the application which the lighting control data was created with.
The computer implemented method according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein executing an application call comprises one of:
- the second application calling the application which the lighting control data was created with on the second computer device based on the identification data, or
- a node in the networked lighting system calling the application which the lighting control data was created with on the second computer device based on the identification data.
A node in a networked lighting system, the node comprising:
- an interface arranged for receiving lighting control data from an application running on a first computer device, and
- a processor arranged for storing in one or more nodes of the networked lighting system a data set, the data set based on the lighting control data and comprising identification data of the application which the lighting control data was created with,
- wherein the interface is further arranged for receiving from an application running on a second computer device an input indicating an editing of the lighting control data,
- wherein the processor is further arranged for retrieving the identification data comprised in the data set which is based on the lighting control data, and for executing an application call over the interface based on the retrieved identification data, causing the second computer device to run the application which the lighting control data was created with.
