Abstract

See full text

Methods, lighting control systems, mobile computing devices and computer-readable media are described herein for graph-based navigation through an environment(100). In various embodiments, a graph (220) including a plurality of nodes and a plurality of edges may be provided, e.g., by a lighting control system(130), to mobile computing devices (350) such as smart phones and tablets carried through the environment. Each node may correspond to a location of a lighting effect produced by a particular light source within the environment. Each edge may correspond to a path between two nodes. Data indicative of a path travelled through the graph by one or more mobile computing devices between a first node corresponding to a first location and a second node corresponding to a second location may be used to update the graph. Mobile computing devices may utilize the graph to calculate optimal paths (220) and/or guide users through the environment.
