Abstract

The present application discloses a linkage control method and system for TV viewing ambient light strips, relating to the technical field of light strip control. The method includes: installing a controller above a TV set and acquiring color data; establishing an initial color control method to control the color of the light strip; acquiring linkage analysis light strips and obtaining common points; controlling the color of the light strip via the controller when the TV set is started, based on the common points and the initial color control method. The present application solves the problems of existing methods for linkage control of TV viewing ambient light strips: inability to perform real-time control of the light strip's light based on TV images during viewing, resulting in the light strip's light not matching the viewing content, causing a sense of disconnection in the user's visual experience and reduced viewing immersion.
