Abstract:
The described embodiments relate to systems, methods, and apparatuses for controlling a network of lights () according to whether people () who are observing the lights are visitors from a different location (). Visitors can be identified by using network connection data () that includes entries corresponding to personal devices of visitors to a city. The network connection data can be filtered to identify how many personal devices are associated with people visiting from a different city. If the number of visitors exceeds some threshold relative to non-visitors, a lighting arrangement in the city can be controlled to display features that would appeal to the visitors. The features can correspond to aspects of the city where the visitors are from and can therefore make the city more attractive.
