DETAILED DESCRIPTION The structure and operation of various methods and systems that are embodiments of the invention will now be described.
It should be understood that many other ways of practicing the invention herein are available, and the embodiments described herein are exemplary and not limiting.
Referring to FIG.
1, a light module 100 is depicted in block diagram format.
The light module 100 includes two components, a processor 16 and an LED system 120, which is depicted in FIG.
1 as an array of light emitting diodes.
The term "processor" is used herein to refer to any method or system for processing in response to a signal or data and should be understood to encompass microprocessors, integrated circuits, computer software, computer hardware, electrical circuits, application specific integrated circuits, personal computers, chips, and other devices capable of providing processing functions.
The LED system 120 is controlled by the processor 16 to produce controlled illumination.
In particular, the processor 16 controls the intensity of different color individual LEDs, semiconductor dies, or the like of the LED system 120 to produce illumination in any color in the spectrum.
Instantaneous changes in color, strobing and other effects, more particularly described below, can be produced with light modules such as the light module 100 depicted in FIG.
1.
The light module 100 may be made capable of receiving power and data.
The light module 100, through the processor 16, may be made to provide the various functions ascribed to the various embodiments of the invention disclosed herein.
Referring to FIG.
2, the light module 100 may be constructed to be used either alone or as part of a set of such light modules 100.
An individual light module 100 or a set of light modules 100 can be provided with a data connection 500 to one or more external devices, or, in certain embodiments of the invention, with other light modules 100.
As used herein, the term "data connection" should be understood to encompass any system for delivering data, such as a network, a data bus, a wire, a transmitter and receiver, a circuit, a video tape, a compact disc, a DVD disc, a video tape, an audio tape, a computer tape, a card, or the like
