Problems solved by technology

The disadvantage of such systems is that although television shows, movies and video games often include various scenes, events and action sequences, known ambient light systems are limited to producing a single color of light, which may be too repetitive for the user and Make users lose interest in this ambient light effect

Embodiment Construction

[0014] Reference will now be made in detail to the preferred embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0015] Generally, systems and methods for providing users with ambient light effects when watching TV shows, movies, or playing video games are described here. The ambient light effect can be generated by one or more light-emitting devices based on information contained in a video file representing a TV show, movie, or video game. The ambient light effect thus generated may include chromaticity control data that can cause the ambient light effect to be presented to the user in various colors. In this way, it provides users with a dynamic and more interactive experience.

[0016] Specifically refer to figure 1 In an embodiment of the method for controlling the effect of ambient light, the receiving device 10 receives the video file from the video source 12 via the connection 11. The receiving device 10 may be one of a TV, a ...

Abstract

Methods and systems for producing ambient light effects based on video content are provided. A method of producing an ambient light effect includes providing a receiving device including a processor configured to parse incoming video content and receiving the video content including a plurality of scenes at the receiving device. The method further includes parsing the incoming video content and detecting at least one scene in the video content for association with at least one ambient light effect. The method also includes generating a command specifying at least one ambient light effect to be associated with at least one scene and sending the command from the receiving device to at least one lighting device in communication with the receiving device to generate at least one ambient light effect associated with at least one scene when the scene is displayed to a user.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to ambient light effects, and more specifically, to ambient light effects generated based on video content. Background technique [0002] Television shows, movies, and video games often provide visual stimulation from a television screen display and audio stimulation from speakers connected to the television. There are some known systems that try to enhance the viewer / user experience by providing a more interactive / responsive environment. For example, some video game systems cause lighting devices (such as lights) to produce ambient light effects ("ALE") during game play. [0003] In order to provide a pleasant interactive experience, when the associated scene is displayed to the user, the light-emitting device needs to generate an ambient light effect at an appropriate time. In addition, the light-emitting device needs to generate various ambient light effects to appropriately match various scenes and action sequences in movie...
