## 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.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A system for reserving spaces for a class, the system comprising:
a transceiver configured to receive reservation data from a user device indicating a selected space associated with a participant; and
a processor communicatively coupled to a plurality of lights and configured to:
identify one or more cells of a plurality of cells associated with the selected space associated with the participant, and
adjust a color emitted by lights of the identified one or more cells to indicate that the selected space associated with the participant is reserved.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the plurality of cells are located along a floor surface, each cell of the plurality of cells having a cavity underneath the floor surface, the cavity housing one or more lights of the plurality of lights.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, further comprising a memory configured to store floor map data including a plurality of virtual cells respectively corresponding to the plurality of cells located along the surface,
wherein the processor adjusts the color emitted by lights of the identified one or more cells based on the floor map data.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The system of claim 3, wherein the memory is further configured to store class data including space size data associated with the class, the space size data indicating a size of cells corresponding to the selected space associated with the participant.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to instruct one or more cells that are not associated with any participant to emit light of a same color to indicate vacancy.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the transceiver is further configured to receive user data indicating one or more preferences including at least one of size of space, shape of the space, or color to be displayed in the space.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the transceiver is further configured to receive second reservation data from a second user device associated with a second participant, and
wherein the processor is further configured to:
determine that the second participant cannot be accommodated based on previously received reservation data from other participants,
determine that the second participant can be accommodated if the selected spaces of the other participants are adjusted, and
automatically adjust locations of one or more spaces of the selected spaces of the other participants to accommodate for the second participant.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to instruct the plurality of lights to display a pattern in response to receiving a command from an instructor device.

### Claim 9

A system for reserving spaces for a class, the system comprising:
a plurality of lights located underneath a floor surface and configured to emit light upward from the floor surface, the floor surface being divided into a plurality of floor cells;
a floor controller electrically coupled to the one or more lights and configured to:
receive a first reservation data for a first space, the first space defined by a first portion of cells of the plurality of floor cells; and
command one or more lights corresponding to the first portion of cells to emit at least one of a first color or a first pattern.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The system of claim 9, wherein at least one of the first color or the first pattern is customizable by a participant of the class.

### Claim 11 (depends on 9)

The system of claim 9, wherein the floor controller is further configured to receive user data associated with the first reservation data.

### Claim 12 (depends on 9)

The system of claim 9, wherein the floor controller is further configured to store the first reservation data, the user data, and a floor map data.

### Claim 13 (depends on 9)

The system of claim 9, wherein the floor controller is further configured to:
receive a second reservation data for a second space, the second space defined by a second portion of cells of the plurality of cells; and
command the one or more lights of the second portion of cells to emit at least one of a second color or a second pattern proximate the start time of the class.

### Claim 14 (depends on 13)

The system of claim 13, wherein the one or more lights of the first portion of cells emit the first color, wherein the second portion of cells emit the second color, and wherein the first color and the second color are the same.

### Claim 15 (depends on 13)

The system of claim 13, the floor controller is further configured to automatically adjust locations of one or more spaces to accommodate for an additional space.

### Claim 16 (depends on 9)

The system of claim 9, further comprising an instructor device in operable communication with the floor controller, the instructor device configured to control a pattern of the one or more lights of each cell of the plurality of cells.

### Claim 17

A method for dynamically reserving spaces for a class, the method comprising:
receiving, by a transceiver, a reservation data for the class; and
commanding, by a processor, a first space to emit a first color or a first pattern, the first space defined by a portion of cells of a plurality of cells on a surface.

### Claim 18 (depends on 17)

The method of claim 17, further comprising:
receiving, by the transceiver, a user data corresponding to the reservation data; and
storing, by a memory, the reservation data and the user data.

### Claim 19 (depends on 18)

The method of claim 18, further comprising commanding, by the processor, a second space to emit a second color or a second pattern proximate the reservation time, wherein the second space is available for a participant in the class.

### Claim 20 (depends on 17)

The method of claim 17, wherein receiving the first reservation data further comprises receiving a desired space size for the class, and wherein the method further comprises rearranging, by the processor, at least one reserved space to accommodate the desired space size.
