Button based color navigation method and device in a lighting or visualization system
First Claim
1. A button based color navigation method in a lighting or visualization system with a device comprisinga plurality of buttons arranged in predetermined order on a panel,wherein each of the buttons is provided for a certain color of the system to be selected, includingsensing presses of one or more buttons,evaluating parameters of the sensed presses andchanging a color in the system depending on the evaluation of the parameterswherein the step of evaluating parameters of the sensed presses includesevaluating an adjacency of two consecutively pressed buttons andchanging the color depending on the evaluated adjacency,wherein adjacency is determined by distance of a position of the two buttons.

Abstract
The invention relates to button based color navigation in a lighting or visualization system, particularly for allowing fast and slow navigation through the colors in a lighting or visualization system only by usage of buttons. For the navigation, a device (10; 50) is provided which comprises several buttons (14,16, 18, 20, 22, 24,- 52, 54) arranged in predetermined order (12,-56), wherein each of the buttons is provided for a certain color of the system to be selected. Presses of one or more buttons (S10) are sensed, parameters of the sensed presses (S12) are evaluated, and a color in the system is changed depending on the evaluation of the parameters (S14, S16, S18, S20).
