First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system for controlling lighting conditions in a user environment, comprising:
- an image capture device configured to capture image data in a user environment, the image capture device further configured to identify at least one lighting condition in the user environment;
a computing device configured to generate an inner frame area and an outer frame area; and
a display device configured to display the inner frame area and the outer frame area, wherein the inner frame area includes image data captured by the image capture device and the outer frame area controls at least one lighting condition in the user environment.

Abstract
A system and method for controlling lighting conditions in a user environment in the context of an image capture device are disclosed. An inner frame area and an outer frame area adjust certain lighting conditions in the user environment in response to certain lighting conditions detected by the image capture device. The frame areas may be dynamically controlled as to affect the brightness and/or color of the particular user environment.
