Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Disclosed are methods and apparatus for lighting control. One or more properties of light output are controlled based on a light origination input and a light destination input received via one or more user interfaces. For example, in some embodiments a light origination input and a light destination input may be utilized to determine one or more control parameters of one or more LEDs to achieve illumination of a light destination area indicated by the light destination input, wherein the illumination is from a light origination area indicated by the light origination input.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method of controlling one or more properties of light output from LEDs, comprising: receiving a light origination input via a first user interface segment, the light origination input indicative of a light origination area; identifying, based on the light origination input, one or more LEDs in the light origination area; receiving a light destination input via a second user interface segment, the light destination input indicative of a light dest…
