Abstract

A platform for design of a lighting installation generally includes an automated search engine for retrieving and storing a plurality of lighting objects in a lighting object library and a lighting design environment providing a visual representation of a lighting space containing lighting space objects and lighting objects. The visual representation is based on properties of the lighting space objects and lighting objects obtained from the lighting object library. A plurality of aesthetic filters is configured to permit a designer in a design environment to adjust parameters of the plurality of lighting objects handled in the design environment to provide a desired collective lighting effect using the plurality of lighting objects.

First claim

1 - 271 . (canceled)

272 . A method, comprising:
recording biomarker data over a time frame, the biomarker data being indicative of at least one biological state of a user remaining in a lighting control environment over the time frame, the biomarker data being generated by providing at least one physiological sensor remaining with the user in the lighting control environment over the time frame; recording light control settings data over the time frame for at least one light remaining in the lighting control environment with the user and with the at least one physiological sensor generating the biomarker data over the time frame; and using machine learning for recording data correlations over the time frame between the at least one biological state of the user remaining in the lighting control environment over the time frame and lighting effects caused by the at least one light remaining in the lighting control environment with the user over the time frame, the data correlations being based on the recordings of the biomarker data and the recordings of the light control settings data, and utilizing the data correlations for controlling the at least one light.

273 - 427 . (canceled)

428 . The method of claim 272 , wherein using the machine learning includes using a nearest neighbor interpolation or a Kaczmarz method.

429 .
