AMBIENCE LIGHTING SYSTEM FOR A DISPLAY DEVICE AND A METHOD OF OPERATING SUCH AMBIENCE LIGHTING SYSTEM
First Claim
1. An ambience lighting system (100) for use in conjunction with a display device (109) including an image display region (108), comprising:
- a central control unit (102) adapted to receive an incoming audio video stream (AVS) (101) and to determine color information at the periphery of the image to be displayed,multiple light sources (110-121) disposed in a pre-fixed arrangement in relation to the periphery of the image display region (108),local control units (104-107) each being adapted to be coupled to at least one light source (220-121) selected from the multiple light sources for locally operating the at least one coupled light source,wherein the central control unit (102) transmits the determined color information as a stream (103) to each respective local control unit (104-107), each respective local control unit being adapted use a portion of the received color information to operate the at least one coupled light source, the portion being determined based on the position of the at least one coupled light source within the pre-fixed arrangement.

Abstract
This invention relates to an ambience lighting system for use in conjunction with a display device including an image display region. A central control receives an incoming audio video stream (AVS) and to determines color information at the periphery of the image to be displayed. Light sources are disposed in a pre-fixed arrangement in relation to the periphery of the image display region, and local control units are coupled to open or more light sources selected from the multiple light sources for locally operating the at least one coupled light source. The central control unit is adapted to transmit the determined color information as a stream to each respective local control unit, which use a portion of the received color information to operate the at least one coupled light source, the portion being determined based on the position of the at least one coupled light source within the pre-fixed arrangement.

10. A method of operating an ambience lighting system when used in conjunction with a display device including an image display region, the method comprising:
-
receiving an incoming audio video stream (AVS) (901) and determining color information (902) at the periphery of the image to be displayed, disposing (903) multiple light sources in a pre-fixed arrangement in relation to the periphery of the image display region, transmitting the determined color information (904) as a stream to local control units, each respective control unit being coupled to at least one light source selected from the multiple light sources, wherein a portion of the received color information is used (905) by each respective local control unit to operate the at least one coupled light source, the portion being determined based on the position of the at least one coupled light source within the pre-fixed arrangement. - View Dependent Claims (11)
