LIGHTING PATTERN OPTIMIZATION FOR A TASK PERFORMED IN A VICINITY
First Claim
1. A cognitive illumination system comprising:
- a light source communicatively coupled to a servomechanism, wherein the servomechanism is configured to manipulate the light source in space;
a tracking assembly configured to capture and track objects in the space; and
a processor communicatively coupled to the light source, the servomechanism and the tracking assembly;
wherein the processor is configured to;
receive information about the captured and tracked objects from the tracking assembly;
determine a task being undertaken in a scene in the space from an analysis of the received information leading to an understanding of the scene by the processor;
develop a lighting plan for the task based on the understanding of the scene, the lighting plan being executable by the light source and the servomechanism; and
control the light source and the servomechanism according to the lighting plan in order to execute the lighting plan.

Abstract
A cognitive illumination system is provided. The cognitive illumination system includes a light source communicatively coupled to a servomechanism, wherein the servomechanism is configured to manipulate the light source in space, a tracking assembly configured to capture and track objects in the space and a processor communicatively coupled to the light source, the servomechanism and the tracking assembly. The processor is configured to receive information about the captured and tracked objects from the tracking assembly, determine a task being undertaken in the space therefrom, develop a lighting plan for the task which is executable by the light source and the servomechanism and control the light source and the servomechanism according to the lighting plan.

10. A computer-implemented method of operating a cognitive illumination system, the method comprising:
-
recognizing, by a processor, a presence of objects in a space; identifying types of the objects, relationships between the objects, functions of the objects and anticipated trajectories of the objects; determining a task being undertaken in a scene in the space from an analysis of the identified types of the objects, relationships between the objects, functions of the objects and anticipated trajectories of the objects leading to an understanding of the scene by the processor; and developing an optimal lighting plan by the processor for the objects from the identified types of the objects, relationships between the objects, functions of the objects and trajectories of the objects based on the understanding of the scene by the processor.

13. A computer program product for providing a cognitive illumination system, the computer program product comprising:
-
a processing circuit; and a memory having program instructions stored thereon for enabling the processing circuit to execute a method comprising; capturing and tracking objects in a space; determining a task being undertaken in a scene in the space from an analysis of information of the captured and tracked objects leading to an understanding of the scene by the processing circuit; developing an adjustable lighting plan for the task based on the understanding of the scene, the adjustable lighting plan being executable by a light source and a servomechanism to which the light source is coupled and which is configured to manipulate the light source in the space; and controlling the light source and the servomechanism in accordance with the adjustable lighting plan in order to execute the adjustable lighting plan. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
