Methods and systems for generating ambient light effects based on video content
First Claim
1. A receiving device for producing an ambient light effect, the receiving device comprising:
- a processor configured to parse an incoming digital video file including a plurality of scenes, the processor programmed to;
parse the incoming digital video file and detect, based on information contained in the digital video file, at least one scene in the digital video file for association with at least one ambient light effect;
generate a command specifying the at least one ambient light effect to be associated with the at least one scene; and
send the command from the receiving device to at least one lighting device in communication with the receiving device to generate the at least one ambient light effect associated with the at least one scene when the at least one scene is displayed to a user.

Abstract
Methods and systems for producing ambient light effects based on video content are provided. A method of producing an ambient light effect includes providing a receiving device including a processor configured to parse incoming video content and receiving the video content including a plurality of scenes at the receiving device. The method further includes parsing the incoming video content and detecting at least one scene in the video content for association with at least one ambient light effect. The method also includes generating a command specifying at least one ambient light effect to be associated with at least one scene and sending the command from the receiving device to at least one lighting device in communication with the receiving device to generate at least one ambient light effect associated with at least one scene when the scene is displayed to a user.

11. A method of producing an ambient light effect, the method comprising:
sending a digital video stream including an audio file and a video file with a plurality of scenes from a video source to a receiving device including a processor configured to; parse the digital video file and detect, based on information contained in the digital video file, at least one scene in the digital video file for association with at least one ambient light effect; generate a command specifying the at least one ambient light effect to be associated with the at least one scene; and send the command from the receiving device to at least one lighting device in communication with the receiving device to generate the at least one ambient light effect associated with the at least one scene when the at least one scene is displayed to a user. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
