Ambient light script command encoding
First Claim
1. A method for light script command encoding for dynamically controlling an ambient light source (88), comprising:
- [1] Encoding a setting code (S) usable by said ambient light source to specify at least one controlled operating parameter that comprises at least one of a luminance (Y), a chrominance (x, y), and a light character (G);
[2] Encoding a change code (T) usable by said ambient light source to specify at least one change in said controlled operating parameter, said change code comprising at least one of a change type (F) and a rate parameter (Q); and
said setting code and said change code each so formulated that said ambient light source using same and so dynamically controlled can fully execute said change through a range of values (R) of said controlled operating parameter without further command encoding.

Abstract
Light script command encoding for intelligent ambient lighting to enhance video content allows many controlled operating parameters to be specified simultaneously for a plurality of ambient light units. Initialization or setting codes specify luminance, chrominance, and light character, while separable change codes specify changes in the controlled operating parameters. The change code can comprise a functional description of the desired change, including a change type and/or a rate parameter. Using change codes, an ambient light source can fully execute the change through a range of values without further command encoding, reducing required bandwidth. Setting and change codes can be entropy coded and packetized to allow separate communication via two distinct data sources, and storage in subcode or metaspaces.

15. A method for dynamically controlling an ambient light source using light script command encoding, comprising:
-
[1] decoding a setting code that specifies settings usable by said ambient light source; [2] using said decoding of said setting code to specify at least one controlled operating parameter that comprises at least one of a luminance (Y), a chrominance (x, y), and a light character (G); [3] driving said ambient light source using said controlled operating parameter; [4] decoding a change code that specifies at least one change in said controlled operating parameter, said change code comprising at least one of a change type (F) and a rate parameter (Q); [5] driving said ambient light source using said change through a range of values (R) of said controlled operating parameter without further light script command decoding. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)

19. An article of manufacture comprising:
-
a computer-readable medium (DVD) having computer-readable light script command encoding for dynamically controlling an ambient light source (88), said computer-readable medium comprising at least one of; [1] a computer-readable a setting code (S) usable by said ambient light source to specify at least one controlled operating parameter that comprises at least one of a luminance (Y), a chrominance (x, y), and a light character (G); and [2] a computer-readable change code (T) usable by said ambient light source to specify at least one change in said controlled operating parameter, said change code comprising at least one of a change type (F) and a rate parameter (Q); and
said setting code and said change code each so formulated that said ambient light source using same and so dynamically controlled can fully execute said change through a range of values (R) of said controlled operating parameter without requiring further reading of said light script command encoding. - View Dependent Claims (20)
