METHOD OF CONTROLLING LIGHTING SOURCES, CORRESPONDING SYSTEM AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT
First Claim
1. A method of controlling lighting sources as a function of a videogame played with at least one display, said lighting sources having at least one operating parameter which is controllable in at least one lighting sequence as a function of a time code data set coupled therewith, the method comprising:
- providing a repository of operating data files for said sources, said operating data files coupled with said lighting sources with each data file including at least one time code data set for at least one lighting sequence for a respective one of said lighting sources,retrieving in said repository at least one operating data file coupled with a selected one of said lighting sources,detecting at said at least one display at least one videogame signal indicative of the development of said videogame, andoperating said selected one of said lighting sources by controlling said at least one operating parameter as a function of the operating data included in the operating data file retrieved and as a function of said at least one videogame signal.

Abstract
According to the present disclosure, lighting sources having operating parameter(s), which is controllable in lighting sequence(s) as a function of a time code data set coupled with the sequence, are controlled as a function of a videogame played on display(s): by providing a repository of operating data files for the sources coupled with the lighting sources with each data file including time code data set(s) for lighting sequence(s) for one of the lighting sources, by retrieving in the data repository operating data file(s) coupled with a source selected among the lighting sources, and by detecting from the display a videogame signal indicative of the development of a videogame, and by operating the selected lighting source by controlling the operating parameter(s) as a function of the operating data included in the operating data file retrieved and as a function of the videogame signal detected.

10. A computer program product, loadable in a memory of at least one computer and including software code portions for performing a method of controlling lighting sources as a function of a videogame played with at least one display, said lighting sources having at least one operating parameter which is controllable in at least one lighting sequence as a function of a time code data set coupled therewith, the method comprising:
-
providing a repository of operating data files for said sources, said operating data files coupled with said lighting sources with each data file including at least one time code data set for at least one lighting sequence for a respective one of said lighting sources, retrieving in said data repository at least one operating data file coupled with a selected one of said lighting sources, detecting at said at least one display at least one videogame signal indicative of the development of said videogame, and operating said selected one of said lighting sources by controlling said at least one operating parameter as a function of the operating data included in the operating data.
