Lighting systems and methods utilizing lighting profiles
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.
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.
