Abstract:
1. A system comprising: a memory for associating a user identifier with user preference data, the user preference data comprising a selected interactivity level; a processor configured to retrieve from the memory the user preference data associated with the user identifier, checking which user preference data the selected interactivity level authorizes for transmission to a controllable lighting network, and generating a signal indicative of the user preference data authorized for transmission to the controllable lighting network by the selected interactivity level, wherein the user identifier corresponds to a user, and the selected interactivity level identifies an authorized level of access to the user identifier and the user preference data; and an identification system for determining the user identifier associated with the user by utilizing techniques for recognizing unique characteristics of the user and checking another memory for a user identifier associated with the unique characteristics, for determining the interactivity level associated with the user, for transmitting a signal indicative of the user identifier, and for transmitting a signal indicative of the interactivity level; wherein the processor is further configured: to receive the signal indicative of the user identifier, to extract the user identifier from the signal indicative of the user identifier, to receive the signal indicative of the interactivity level, to extract the interactivity level from the signal indicative of the interactivity level, and to update the interactivity level associated with the user identifier in the memory.
