Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for providing optical emission feedback control for an illumination system comprising mixed light including light from a first light source (135) and a second light source (140). Each light source is driven by a drive current configured using a control and/or modification signal associated with that light source. The control signal in turn can be configured using a modification signal associated with the light source. An optical signal indicative of the mixed light is generated, for example using an optical sensor (150), and the optical signal is processed based on a reference signal to provide measurements indicative of light from each light source, which are used for feedback control of the illumination system. The reference signals can be generated locally or based on a corresponding control or modification signal. To provide measurements for a light source, processing (198) of the optical signal can comprise mixing (235) and compensation (255) operations based on control and/or modification signals associated with that light source.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus of using light-emitting elements for illumination as well as communication of data, wherein potential flicker due to sub-fusion frequency data correlations can be reduced compared to prior art techniques, while reducing redundancy in the data transmission. The intensity of the illumination from the light-emitting elements is controlled by a dimming signal such as a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal or a pulse code modulation (PCM) signal, for example. An amplitude-modulated data signal is then superimposed on the dimming signal for communication of data. The dimming signal thus acts as a carrier signal for the data signal. A sensing means is then used to receive the data signal by detecting all or part of the illumination from the light-emitting elements. The data signal can subsequently be extracted from the detected illumination.

Abstract: The present invention provides an illumination system enabling dynamic color control of the illumination produced by the system. The illumination system comprises light-emitting elements for producing illumination, and at least one detecting device which collects information relating to the illumination, which is inherently non-linear. The illumination system also integrates a computing system which receives, the information from the at least one detecting device and linearises this information using a multivariate function having a solution defining a hyperplane representing constant chromaticity for a given luminous intensity, and then determines a number of control parameters based on the information. The illumination system also integrates a controller for receiving the control parameters from the computing system and determining the control signals to be sent to the light-emitting elements in order to dynamically alter the characteristics of the illumination based on the collected information and the desired illumination result.
