1. A lighting and building technology system comprising:

  • a plurality of system participants, each having an address identifying the location of the participant in the system, within a building of the lighting and building technology system;

    a central control unit that sets operating and configuration parameters in system participants connected to the system;

    at least one lamp which is a system participant;

    a converter unit that is adapted to activate the lamp for lighting purposes and also is adapted to encode operating and configuration parameters for the plurality of system participants into a machine-readable code, comprising one of a one-dimensional machine-readable code and a two-dimensional machine-readable code;

    at least one communication interface, comprising one of a bus and a radio interface, between the central control unit and the converter unit;

    a luminous element field comprising a plurality of luminous elements;

    andwherein the luminous element field is is operated by the converter unit such that when viewed from above, the machine-readable code, comprising one of a one-dimensional machine-readable code and a two-dimensional machine-readable code, is depicted dynamically on the luminous element field; and

    a mobile communication device is configured to optically scan the machine-readable code depicted on the luminous element field, to extract, and modify, operating and configuration parameters therefrom, and to transmit the modified operating and configuration parameters to the central control unit;

    wherein the transmitted operating and configuration parameters received by the central control unit are evaluated in order to set operating and configuration parameters in system participants connected to the system based on the modified operating and configuration parameters; and

    wherein the mobile communication device further comprises means for determining the positioning of the mobile communication device, and the position of the mobile communication device is linked to the machine readable code when optically scanning by the mobile communication device from the luminous field element.
