Abstract

Systems, methods, and computer readable storage mediums are provided for determining the mood of the user, deriving an appropriate lighting scheme, and then implementing that lighting scheme on all devices within a predetermined proximity to that user. Furthermore, when a user begins a task, the devices can track the user and use lighting from nearby screens to offer functional lighting.
