In variants, this identifier is detected by the detection means 145 as a function of at least a part of the content of the sound signal to be broadcast. The detection means 145 detects a sound signal identifier from characteristics specific to the content of the sound signal to be broadcast, such as for example a spectral signature of the sound signal. In these variants, part of the content of the sound signal is transmitted to a remote server which compares the characteristics of this portion of content with the characteristics of sound signals recorded on the server.

The selection step 305 is performed, for example, through a user interface in which the user selects a parameter from a list of available parameters. This user interface is displayed by a screen associated with a computer, a portable tablet or a mobile phone. The recording step 310 is performed, for example, through a user interface in which the user selects a variation to be applied to the selected parameter. The variation thus selected is recorded in a memory of the terminal comprising the screen.

The association step 315 is performed, for example, by means of a user interface in which the user chooses a sound signal in memory in the device associated with the screen, at least one of the metadata, such as the title or the author, is associated with the luminous sequence. In variants, the user manually types a sound signal identifier representative of the title of the sound signal, for example. In other variants, the identifier corresponds to a particular imprint of a selected sound signal, this imprint being representative of a characteristic of the content of the sound signal.

FI. A particular application of the device and methods of the present invention is to create a network of users sharing independently created light sequences. These light sequences can be associated with a sound signal, such as a song for example. The sharing of these light sequences is achieved, for example, by means of a connection, via a user interface, to a central server listing light sequences shared by the users. On this platform, users have the ability to sort the sequences by popularity, by date added to the server or by song. The user interface is, for example, a social network website. On this website, a user can mark another user to receive a notification when a new light sequence created by that other user is available on the server. The user can, through a button of the website, mark an interest for a published light sequence so as to increase the popularity of this light sequence. On this website, a user can mark, as a "friend", another user, so as to receive a notification when a light sequence is added to the server by this other user.
