Distributing illumination files
First Claim
1. A lighting system comprising:
- a light source with light elements and a processor;
a client device;
a hardware-implemented data storage server with a plurality of illumination data files stored thereon;
a hardware-implemented e-commerce server communicatively coupled to the data storage server and configured to selection and purchase, via an interface presented to the client device, of at least one of the plurality of illumination data files and to provide an encrypted version of said at least one of the plurality of illumination data files to the client device; and
a lighting and control player communicatively coupled to the client device and the light source and configured to provide the encrypted version of the one or more illumination data files from the client device to the light source,wherein the processor of the light source is configured to (i) decrypt the encrypted version of the one or more illumination data files using a decryption key stored at the light source and (ii) direct the light source to illuminate the light elements of the light source in accordance with the decrypted version of the one or more illumination data files.

Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention relate to systems and methods for creating, distributing and playing illumination data files. The illumination data files, created using luminaire development systems are uploaded to a luminaire management system, where they are further processed and packaged for sale or license within a luminaire marketplace. Consumers and enterprises using luminaires may establish accounts with the luminaire management system and marketplace to access illumination data files for playback on individual or multiple luminaires. Consumers and enterprises may also create play lists and uniquely configure the luminaires to display various lighting effects based on user preferences, environmental factors or energy efficient settings.

19. A method for a lighting system, the method comprising:
-
providing, by an e-commerce server, information regarding one or more of a plurality of illumination data files stored on a data storage server to a client device using a communication interface communicatively coupled to the e-commerce server and the client device, wherein a portion of the information enables a customer to select and purchase one or more of the plurality of illumination data files; receiving, by the e-commerce server, a selection of one of the plurality of illumination data files from the client device; receiving, by the e-commerce server, an indication that the customer has purchased the selected illumination data file; providing, by the e-commerce server, an encrypted version of the selected illumination data file to the client device responsively to the received indication; providing, by the client device, the encrypted version of the selected illumination data file to a lighting and control player; providing, by the lighting and control player, the encrypted version of the selected illumination data file to a light source; decrypting, by a processor of the light source, the encrypted version of the selected illumination data file using a decryption key stored at the light source; and directing, by the processor of the light source, the light source to illuminate light elements of the light source in accordance with the decrypted version of the selected illumination data file. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21)
