Abstract

Selon des modes de réalisation, la présente invention concerne au moins un appareil d'éclairage, un produit-programme d'ordinateur, ainsi qu'un procédé mis en œuvre par ordinateur consistant à obtenir, par un code de programme exécuté par au moins un processeur, une demande d'exécution d'un motif d'éclairage spécifié dans le ou les appareils d'éclairage. Chaque appareil d'éclairage comprend un éclairage à effet, couplé en communication avec le ou les processeurs, et un éclairage fonctionnel (orienté de façon à éclairer une surface au-dessous de l'appareil d'éclairage), couplé en communication avec le ou les processeurs. Le code de programme identifie le motif d'éclairage spécifié dans une mémoire couplée en communication avec le ou les processeurs, ledit motif comprenant une séquence d'éclairage d'une partie des éléments d'éclairage à effet. Le ou les processeurs exécutent le motif d'éclairage spécifié dans le ou les appareils d'éclairage.
