Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
In one embodiment, a lighting system includes one or more light sources, one or processors, and a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to: receive a lighting profile for an individual or device within visible range of the lighting system, and control the one or more light sources according to the lighting profile. In another embodiment, a method of operating a lighting system includes receiving, from an individual or a device within a visible range of the individual or device, a lighting profile, and controlling one or more lights of the lighting system according to the lighting profile.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1 . A lighting system comprising: a material configured to be worn by a user; one or more light sources disposed on or within the material; one or processors; a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to: receive a lighting profile from a component of a vehicle not operated by the user and within visible range of the user; and control the one or more light sources according to the lighting profile. 2 . The lighting system of claim 1 , wherein the lighting profile establishes one or more of a wavelength, duty cycle, frequency, ramp-up time, ramp-down time, and pattern. 3 . The lighting system of claim 1 , wherein the lighting profile is learned from historical data. 4 . The lighting system of claim 1 , wherein the lighting profile is set by an individual within the vehicle. 5 . A method of operating a lighting system worn by a user, the method comprising: receiving a lighting profile from a component of a vehicle, wherein the vehicle is not operated by the user and the vehicle is within a visible range of the user; and controlling one or more lights of the lighting system according to the lighting profile. 6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the lighting profile establishes one or more of a wavelength, duty cycle, frequency, and pattern. 7 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the lighting profile is learned from historical data. 8 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the lighting profile is set by an individual within the vehicle. 9 . The lighting system of claim 1 , wherein the lighting system is a clothing article. 10 . The lighting system of claim 9 , wherein the clothing article is a vest. 11 . The lighting system of claim 1 , wherein the lighting profile is such that the one or more light sources are controlled to produce a biomotion-animation. 12 . The lighting system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more light sources are one or more light emitting diodes. 13 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the lighting system is a clothing article. 14 . The method of claim 13 , wherein the clothing article is a vest. 15 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the lighting profile is such that the one or more light sources are controlled to produce a biomotion-animation. 16 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more lights are one or more light emitting diodes.
