1. A method comprising:
- receiving, by a device controller and from a transfer device using radio frequency (RF) communications, pairing and position information for each of a plurality of lighting devices, wherein the transfer device is a separate device from each of the plurality of lighting devices;
associating the device controller with each of the plurality of lighting devices based on the pairing and position information for each of the plurality of lighting devices received from the transfer device; and
based on the associating, dynamically altering display of the plurality of lighting devices in synchronization with video and audio programming.

Abstract
Systems, methods, software, and data structures that provide dynamic lighting are described herein. The light sources, or other position-dependent devices may be paired to a device controller using near field communications (NFC) or other extremely short range radio technology, to share both pairing information and position information in a unified process.

13. An apparatus,
comprising: - a transceiver;
a device controller; a processor; and memory storing machine readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the apparatus to perform; identifying a plurality of position-dependent lighting devices to be controlled by the device controller; determining a layout of the position-dependent lighting devices; transmitting pairing information to a transfer device via the transceiver during a first communication session; receiving ordered pairing information for each of the plurality of position-dependent lighting devices from the transfer device via the transceiver during a second communication session subsequent to the first communication session; determining an association of each of the plurality of position-dependent lighting devices to the layout based on the ordered pairing information; and based on the association, dynamically altering display of the plurality of position-dependent lighting devices in synchronization with video and audio programming. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
