System and method to automatically create a given atmosphere by controlling the contributions of perceptible sensory stimulus media

摘要

An atmosphere controller (18) for automatically controlling the contributions of perceptible sensory stimulus means, depending on the data contained in an atmosphere configuration, the perceptible sensory stimulus means comprising at least one of a lighting medium (12), a means for creating sound (14) and a means for creating aromas (16), the atmosphere controller comprising: - a reading interface, adapted to be connected to a data input means (28) for reading data from input from a data carrier (30) containing said input data, the input data comprising a reference to a particular atmosphere configuration; - processing means (36), programmed to process the data contained in a given atmosphere configuration and to emit control signals to control the means of perceptible sensory stimuli that depend on the processed data; and - transmission means (38) adapted to transmit the control signals to the means of perceptible sensory stimuli connected to the atmosphere controller; characterized in that the reader interface is adapted to read the input data of a plurality of data providers, each comprising input data comprising a reference to a particular atmosphere configuration, and the atmosphere controller further comprises: - an internet interface (34) adapted to send said combined input data, read from the plurality of data providers, to an internet service (20), and to receive the determined atmosphere configuration from the internet service (20) , in which the determined atmosphere configuration is assigned to the combined input data.
