1. A method comprising:
- receiving a video content stream for display on a display device, the display device being in a local viewing environment;
analyzing the video content stream for brightness and color values;
measuring ambient light values for the local viewing environment, the ambient light values including brightness;
determining adjustments to the ambient light values of the local viewing environment that will cause viewing of the content stream on the display device to appear truer to the brightness and color of the video content stream;
identifying an adjustment device in proximity to the local viewing environment that can adjust the ambient light values within the local viewing environment, the ambient light values including brightness;
activating the adjustment device in synchronization with the content stream displayed on the display device to cause viewed content to appear truer to the brightness and color values of the video content stream.

Abstract
Methods and systems to evaluate the ambient light in a local viewing environment where video content is being displayed, and to make adjustments to the ambient light, video display device, and/or video content to cause the perception of the color and brightness of the video content to the viewer to be true to what the video content producer intended the viewer to perceive.

2. A method comprising:
-
receiving a video content stream for display on a display device, the display device being in a local viewing environment; analyzing the video content stream for brightness and color values; measuring ambient light values for the local viewing environment, the ambient light values including brightness and color values; determining adjustments to the ambient light values of the local viewing environment that will cause viewing of the content stream on the display device to appear truer to the brightness and color of the video content stream; identifying an adjustment device in proximity to the local viewing environment that can adjust the ambient light values within the local viewing environment, the ambient light values including brightness and color values; activating one or more light-adjustment devices in synchronization with the content stream displayed on the display device to cause viewed content to appear truer to the brightness and color values of the video content stream. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5, 6, 7)

8. A system comprising:
-
an input configured to receive a video content stream for display on a display device within a local viewing environment; an input configured to receive ambient lighting information for the local viewing environment, the ambient light values including brightness and color values; a device database identifying controllable devices within the local viewing area that are able to adjust ambient light values within the local viewing environment; an analysis module configured to receive the video content stream, to analyze the content stream to determine brightness and color values, and to output the brightness and color values; an adjustment device that can communicate with the controllable devices identified within the device database to adjust the ambient light values within the local viewing environment; and a processing module configured to receive the brightness and color values of the video content from the analysis module, analyze the received ambient lighting information for the local viewing environment; determine, using the brightness and color values of the analyzed video content stream, the received ambient lighting information, and the list of controllable devices in the device database used to adjust ambient light, the commands to be sent to the adjustment device to adjust ambient lighting, and send commands to the adjustment device for content displayed on the display device to appear truer to the brightness and color values of the video content stream. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A computer-readable storage medium storing instructions which, when executed by a processing system in a receiving device, cause the processing system to:
-
receive a video content stream for display on a display device, the display device being in a local viewing environment; analyze the video content stream for brightness and color values; measure ambient light values for the local viewing environment, the ambient light values including brightness; determine adjustments to the ambient light values of the local viewing environment that will cause viewing of the content stream on the display device to appear truer to the brightness and color of the video content stream; identify an adjustment device in proximity to the local viewing environment that can adjust the ambient light values within the local viewing environment, the ambient light values including brightness; activate the adjustment device in synchronization with the content stream displayed on the display device to cause viewed content to appear truer to the brightness and color values of the video content stream.
