CONFIGURING COLOR CONTROL FOR LIGHTING DEVICES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240032170 titled 'CONFIGURING COLOR CONTROL FOR LIGHTING DEVICES

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of this patent application describes a method for automatically determining the vibrancy value for a lighting load based on a selected color setting. The determined vibrancy value is configured to emit light from the lighting load at or above a target Color Rendering Index (CRI) value for the selected color setting. The selected color setting can be either a Correlated Color Temperature (CCT) value on the black-body curve or an x-y chromaticity value.

• The automatically determined vibrancy value is based on the selected color setting.
• If the selected color setting is a CCT value on the black-body curve, a pre-defined vibrancy value is used to emit light at or above the target CRI value for the selected CCT value.
• If the selected color setting is an x-y chromaticity value, the automatically determined vibrancy value is based on the distance between the selected x-y chromaticity value and the black-body curve.

Potential applications of this technology:

• Lighting systems in various settings such as homes, offices, and public spaces.
• Stage lighting for performances and events.
• Automotive lighting for improved visibility and aesthetics.

Problems solved by this technology:

• Ensures that the lighting load emits light at or above the desired CRI value for a given color setting.
• Provides automatic determination of the vibrancy value, eliminating the need for manual adjustments.

Benefits of this technology:

• Enhanced color rendering and accuracy in lighting.
• Simplified control and adjustment of lighting systems.
• Improved user experience and aesthetics in various lighting applications.

Original Abstract Submitted

in an auto vibrancy mode, a vibrancy value for a lighting load may be automatically determined based on a selected color setting for the lighting load. the automatically determined vibrancy value may also be configured to emit light from the lighting load at or above a target cri value for the selected color setting. the selected color setting may be a cct value on the black-body curve or an x-y chromaticity value. if the selected color setting is cct value on the black-body curve, the automatically determined vibrancy value may be a pre-defined vibrancy value that is configured to emit light from the lighting load at or above the target cri value for the selected cct value. if the selected color setting is an x-y chromaticity value, the automatically determined vibrancy value may be based on the distance between the selected x-y chromaticity value and the black-body curve.
