Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a wireless lighting control system, and more particularly to a wireless lighting control system that can remotely control multiple lighting devices to generate lighting patterns and improve lighting effects. [Background technology]

[0002] Generally, a lighting device is a device that reflects, refracts, and transmits light from a light source to achieve the purpose of illumination. Lighting devices can be classified into indirect lighting devices, semi-indirect lighting devices, general diffused lighting devices, semi-direct lighting devices, and direct lighting devices according to the light distribution.

[0003] With the development of technology, lighting devices are now used for a variety of purposes. For example, lighting devices are used to create a media facade. A media facade is a building that has lighting devices attached to its exterior wall to realize media functions.

[0004] As another example, lighting devices are used as small cheering props at sporting events or concerts held in environments below a certain level of illuminance. However, in such environments, multiple lighting fixtures are individually controlled, making it difficult to create systematic lighting patterns or shapes. Furthermore, it is not easy to achieve the desired cheering effect simply by using the light sources arranged in the lighting device. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] Therefore, the present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a wireless lighting control system that can remotely control multiple lighting devices in groups to generate lighting patterns and improve lighting effects. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a lighting device according to one embodiment connects to a smart device carried by a concertgoer before a concert so that the smart device maps the lighting devices used as cheering goods to the concert venue seat information of the concertgoer. During the concert, the lighting devices receive group-specific control information from a master device, which allows the lighting devices to be controlled based on the group to which the lighting devices belong. During the concert, the lighting devices control lighting based on the group-specific control information. Before the concert, the master device divides the seats in the concert venue for the audience into multiple areas, and multiple groups are set for multiple slave lighting devices.

[0007] A lighting control method according to one embodiment includes the steps of: connecting to smart devices carried by audience members attending a concert before the concert; mapping, by the smart devices, lighting devices to be used as cheering goods and concert hall seat information of the audience members before the concert; receiving, from a master device, group-specific control information that enables the lighting devices to be controlled based on the group to which the lighting devices belong during the concert; and controlling lighting based on the group-specific control information during the concert, wherein, before the concert, the master device divides the audience members' seats in the concert hall into a plurality of areas, and a plurality of groups are set for a plurality of slave lighting devices.

[0008] In one embodiment, the master device divides the seats in the concert hall of the audience attending the concert into a plurality of areas before the concert, sets a plurality of groups for a plurality of slave lighting devices used as the cheering goods, transmits group-specific control information to the plurality of slave lighting devices so that the plurality of slave lighting devices can be controlled by group during the concert, and controls the lighting of the plurality of slave lighting devices based on the group-specific control information. Before the concert, each of the plurality of slave lighting devices connects to a smart device carried by each audience member, and before the concert, each smart device maps each of the slave lighting devices to the seat information of the concert hall of each audience member based on a mapping request signal sent from the server to the server, so that the server can map each of the slave lighting devices connected to the smart device to the seat information of the concert hall of each audience member.

[0009] According to one embodiment, a lighting device control method includes the steps of: dividing concert hall seats for audience members attending a concert into a plurality of regions before a concert; and setting a plurality of groups for a plurality of slave lighting devices used as cheering goods; and transmitting group-specific control information to the plurality of slave lighting devices, which allows the plurality of slave lighting devices to be controlled by group during the concert, and controlling the lighting of the plurality of slave lighting devices based on the group-specific control information. Before the concert, each of the plurality of slave lighting devices connects to a smart device carried by each audience member. Before the concert, each of the smart devices sends a mapping request signal to the server requesting that the server map each of the slave lighting devices connected to the smart device with the seat information of the audience.

[0010] A wireless lighting control system according to one embodiment includes a master device and a plurality of slave lighting devices used as cheering goods carried by audience members attending a concert and controlled by the master device, each of the plurality of slave lighting devices being connectable to a smart device carried by each audience member. Before the concert, each of the smart devices is mapped with the seat information of each audience member in the concert venue based on a mapping request signal sent from the server to the server, so that the server maps the slave lighting devices connected to the respective smart devices to the seat information of each audience member. Before the concert, the master device divides the seats in the concert venue into a plurality of areas and sets a plurality of groups for the plurality of slave lighting devices. During the concert, the plurality of slave lighting devices receive group-specific control information from the master device, which allows the plurality of slave lighting devices to be controlled by group, and lighting is controlled based on the group-specific control information. [Effects of the Invention]

[0011] According to the present invention, it is possible to control a plurality of lighting devices by group, thereby generating a variety of lighting patterns for sporting events, concerts, etc., and improving the cheering effect through the various lighting patterns.

[0012] The lighting effect can be enhanced because the lighting pattern can be generated by utilizing the resources of the lighting device and the resources of the smart device linked to the lighting device. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0017] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which the same reference numerals indicate the same elements.

[0018] FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the configuration of a wireless lighting control system 1 according to an embodiment.

[0019] 1, a wireless lighting control system 1 according to one embodiment includes a plurality of lighting devices 100A, 100B, 100C, and 100D, a plurality of smart devices 200A, 200B, 200C, and 200D, a network 300, and a server 400. The plurality of lighting devices 100A, 100B, 100C, and 100D include a first lighting device 100A operating as a master and second lighting devices 100B, 100C, and 100D operating as slaves. The first lighting device 100A is electrically connected to the first smart device 200A, and the second lighting devices 100B, 100C, and 100D are electrically connected to the second smart devices 200B, 200C, and 200D. Hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, the first lighting device 100A and the second lighting devices 100B, 100C, and 100D will be referred to as "lighting device 100", and the first smart device 200A and the second smart devices 200B, 200C, and 200D will be referred to as "smart device 200".

[0020] The lighting device 100 refers to a device that fixes or protects a light source by reflecting, refracting, or transmitting light from the light source. Such a lighting device 100 may have various shapes. For example, the lighting device 100 may have a rod shape so that it can be held by a user. For another example, the lighting device 100 may have a shape that can be worn on a part of the user's body.

[0021] According to the embodiment, the lighting device 100 can detect an electrical connection with the smart device 200. When the electrical connection with the smart device 200 is detected, the lighting device 100 transmits and receives data and / or signals to and from the smart device 200. For example, the lighting device 100 transmits a confirmation request signal to the smart device 200 to confirm whether a lighting control application is installed on the smart device 200.

[0022] In another example, the lighting device 100 receives group-specific control pattern information for the lighting device operating as a slave from the smart device 200. A more detailed description of the configuration of the lighting device 100 will be given later with reference to FIG.

[0023] The smart device 200 may be electrically connected to the lighting device 100. The smart device 200 electrically connected to the lighting device 100 transmits and receives data and / or signals to and from the lighting device 100. For example, the smart device 200 receives a confirmation request signal from the lighting device 100 to confirm whether a lighting control application is installed, and transmits group-based control pattern information for the lighting devices operating as slaves to the lighting device 100.

[0024] The smart device 200 may also communicate with the server 400 via the network 300. According to an embodiment, the smart device 200 transmits at least one of an application request signal requesting a lighting control application, a mapping request signal, and a content request signal to the server 400, and receives at least one of a lighting control application, a mapping completion signal, and the requested content from the server 400.

[0025] Meanwhile, once the installation of the lighting control application received from the server 400 is complete, the smart device 200 configures and displays a lighting control screen. When the lighting control screen is displayed, the user can set groups for the lighting devices operating as slaves, set control patterns for each group, and input various commands and information related to lighting control.

[0026] The smart device 200 as described above may include communication devices such as smartphones and tablets. However, the smart device 200 is not necessarily limited to the communication devices illustrated, and any communication device having wireless communication and display functions may be included in the smart device 200. A more detailed description of the configuration of the smart device 200 will be provided below with reference to FIG. 3.

[0027] The server 400 communicates with the lighting device 100 and the smart device 200 via the network 300. For example, the server 400 receives an application request signal from the smart device 200 and transmits a lighting control application to the smart device 200 in response. For another example, the server 200 receives a mapping request signal from the smart device 200 and transmits a mapping completion signal to the smart device 200. The mapping request signal is a signal requesting mapping of the lighting device 100's identification information, the smart device's identification information 200, and the user's seat information. For yet another example, the server 400 receives a content request signal from the smart device 200 and transmits the requested content to the smart device 200. The content may include text, images, and videos.

[0028] The configuration of the wireless lighting control system 1 according to one embodiment has been described above with reference to Fig. 1. Fig. 1 illustrates an example in which a lighting control application is distributed to the smart device 200 by the server 400. According to another embodiment, the lighting control application may be distributed to the smart device 200 by the lighting device 100.

[0029] FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the configuration of the lighting device 100 shown in FIG.

[0030] Referring to FIG. 2, the lighting device 100 includes a lighting unit 110, a wired communication unit 120, a control unit 130, and a wireless communication unit 140.

[0031] The lighting unit 110 includes one or more light sources. Examples of light sources include light-emitting diodes (LEDs). The lighting unit 110 may include LEDs of different colors. For example, the lighting unit 110 may include at least one of a red LED, a green LED, a blue LED, and a white LED. A wide range of colors can be produced by mixing the light emitted from these LEDs. The mixed color is determined based on the ratio of the intensities of the light emitted from each LED, and the intensities of the light emitted from each LED are proportional to the drive current of each LED. That is, the color of the light output from the lighting unit 110 can be controlled by controlling the drive current of each LED. The LEDs may be arranged in a dot pattern, and specific messages or images can be displayed by selectively lighting them.

[0032] Although the above description has been given using an LED as an example of the light source of the illumination unit 110, the type of light source is not limited to an LED. According to another embodiment, an organic light emitting diode (OLED) may be used as the light source.

[0033] The wired communication unit 120 is responsible for wired communication between the lighting device 100 and the smart device 200. Although not shown in the figure, the wired communication unit 120 may include a wired communication port (e.g., a USB port). The wired communication port of the wired communication unit 120 of the lighting device 100 is electrically connected to the wired communication port of the wired communication unit 250 of the smart device 200. When the wired communication port of the lighting device 100 is coupled to the wired communication port of the smart device 200, signals and / or data are transmitted and received between the lighting device 100 and the smart device 200. For example, a confirmation request signal for confirming whether a lighting control application is installed is transmitted to the smart device 200, and a response signal thereto is received from the smart device 200.

[0034] The wireless communication unit 140 is responsible for wireless communication between the lighting device 100 and other lighting devices. To this end, the wireless communication unit 140 can support a wireless communication method, such as ZigBee.

[0035] ZigBee is a wireless personal area network standard that connects peripheral devices wirelessly in a personal area network operating at 868 MHz, 902-928 MHz, and 2.4 GHz. ZigBee is based on the IEEE 802.15 standard approved by the IEEE-SA. ZigBee allows data to be exchanged at speeds up to 250 Kbps between peripheral devices within a wireless personal area network, typically within a distance of 50 meters.

[0036] In the above explanation, ZigBee has been used as an example of a wireless communication method supported by the wireless communication unit 140, but this is not necessarily limited to this, and the wireless communication unit 140 may also support one or more other wireless communication methods in addition to the example given.

[0037] The control unit 130 connects and controls each component of the lighting device 100. For example, the control unit 130 detects whether an electrical connection is established between the lighting device 100 and the smart device 200. If a connection with the smart device 200 is detected, the control unit 130 transmits a confirmation request signal to the smart device 200 to confirm whether a lighting control application is installed.

[0038] Furthermore, the control unit 130 controls the lighting pattern of the lighting unit 110 based on the control pattern information. The control pattern information may include at least one of lighting color, lighting brightness, lighting on time, lighting off time, and lighting blinking speed. The control pattern information as illustrated may be predefined or may be set directly by the user.

[0039] The configuration of the lighting device 100 shown in FIG. 1 has been described above with reference to FIG. 2. As shown in FIG. 2, the lighting device 100 may not include a power supply unit. In this case, the lighting device 100 is electrically connected to the smart device 200 and operates by receiving power from the smart device 200. As another example, the lighting device 100 may further include a power supply unit (dry cell). After being separated from the lighting device 100, the power supply unit may be replaced with another power supply unit or may be charged by externally supplied power.

[0040] FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the configuration of the smart device 200 shown in FIG.

[0041] Referring to FIG. 3, the smart device 200 includes an input unit 210, a display unit 220, a storage unit 230, a control unit 240, a wired communication unit 250, and a wireless communication unit 260.

[0042] The input unit 210 may receive various information and / or commands from a user. For example, it may receive control pattern information for the lighting unit 110 and / or the display unit 220, an operation standby command, a lighting control execution command for starting lighting control, and a lighting control end command for ending lighting control that is currently being executed. To this end, the input unit 210 may include at least one of a joystick, a mouse, a keypad, and a keyboard. In this case, the keyboard may be realized as hardware or software.

[0043] The display unit 220 may display a lighting control screen when a lighting control application is driven. According to an embodiment, various information and / or icons may be arranged on the lighting control screen. For example, a seating layout of the location where the user is located, an icon for selecting the user's seat information, a group setting icon for setting a group for the second lighting device and the second smart device, an icon corresponding to a preset lighting control pattern, an icon for inputting a lighting control execution command, an icon for inputting a lighting control end command, etc. However, the icons arranged on the lighting control screen are not limited to those exemplified above, and the types and arrangement positions of the icons included on the lighting control screen may be configurable by the user.

[0044] The display unit 220 can be controlled by control pattern information, which can be selected from predefined control pattern information or can be set directly by the user.

[0045] The storage unit 230 may include a hard disk drive, an optical disk drive, a magneto-optical disk drive, a non-volatile memory, a volatile memory, or a combination thereof. Such a storage unit 230 stores data necessary for the smart device 200 to operate. For example, the storage unit 230 stores a lighting control application. The lighting control application is an application that can control at least one of the display unit 220 of the smart device 200 and the lighting unit 110 of the lighting device 100.

[0046] The lighting control application may be implemented as a mobile application and may be distributed by the server 400 via the network 300 or may be distributed by the lighting device 100.

[0047] The wired communication unit 250 is responsible for wired communication between the smart device 200 and the lighting device 100. Although not shown in the figure, the wired communication unit 250 may include a wired communication port. The wired communication port of the wired communication unit 250 of the smart device 200 is electrically connected to the wired communication port of the wired communication unit 120 of the lighting device 100. When the wired communication port of the smart device 200 is coupled to the wired communication port of the lighting device 100, signals and / or data are transmitted and received between the smart device 200 and the lighting device 100. For example, a confirmation request signal for confirming whether a lighting control application is installed is received from the lighting device 100, and a response signal in response thereto is transmitted to the lighting device 100.

[0048] The wireless communication unit 260 is responsible for wireless communication between the smart device 200 and the server 400. To this end, the wireless communication unit 260 can support one or more wireless communication methods, including, but not limited to, Ultra Wide Band (UWB), Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), ZigBee, Radio Frequency (RF), and Infrared Data Association (IrDA).

[0049] The control unit 240 connects and controls each component within the smart device 200. For example, when a confirmation request signal for confirming whether a lighting control application is installed is received from the lighting device 100, the control unit 240 checks whether the corresponding application is installed in the smart device 200. If the confirmation result shows that the lighting control application is not installed, the control unit 240 transmits an application request signal to the server 400. Thereafter, when the lighting control application is received from the server 400, the control unit 240 installs the received lighting control application.

[0050] After the lighting control application is installed and executed, the controller 240 creates a lighting control screen. Through the lighting control screen, the user can input information and data required for lighting control, set groups for lighting control, and input commands for lighting control.

[0051] 4 and 5 are diagrams illustrating an embodiment of the operation of the wireless lighting control system 1 according to the embodiment.

[0052] Prior to the description, it is assumed that the first lighting device 100A operating as a master and the second lighting device 100B operating as a slave are located within the wireless control range of the first lighting device 100A.

[0053] First, the first lighting device 100A detects an electrical connection with the first smart device 200A (S400), and then transmits a confirmation request signal to the first smart device 200A to confirm whether a lighting control application is installed (S405).

[0054] The first smart device 200A checks whether a lighting control application is installed in the first smart device 200A. If the result of the check shows that the lighting control application is not installed or needs to be updated, the first smart device 200A transmits an application request signal requesting the lighting control application or an update request signal requesting the update of the lighting control application to the server 400 (S410).

[0055] The server 400 transmits the requested lighting control application to the first smart device 200A via the network 300 (S415).

[0056] When the lighting control application is installed in the first smart device 200A and then executed, a lighting control screen is configured and displayed on the display unit 220 of the first smart device 200A.

[0057] Thereafter, when the user inputs an operation standby command through the lighting control screen, the input operation standby command is transmitted to the first lighting device 100A through the wired communication unit 250 (S420).

[0058] The first lighting device 100A transmits the standby command received from the first smart device 200A to the second lighting device 100B via wireless communication (S425).

[0059] The second lighting device 100B notifies the user that the standby command has been received by controlling the lighting unit 110 based on the standby command received from the first lighting device 100A (S430). For example, the second lighting device 100B notifies the user that the standby command has been received by blinking the light source of the lighting unit 110 at regular intervals for a certain period of time.

[0060] After confirming that the standby command has been received, the user couples the second lighting device 100B to the second smart device 200B, and as a result, the second lighting device 100B detects an electrical connection with the second smart device 200B (S435).

[0061] When the electrical connection with the second smart device 200B is detected in this manner, the second lighting device 100B transmits a confirmation request signal to the second smart device 200B to confirm whether a lighting control application is installed (S440).

[0062] Thereafter, the second smart device 200B checks whether a lighting control application is installed. If the result of the check shows that the lighting control application is not installed or needs to be updated, the second smart device 200B transmits an application request signal requesting the installation of the lighting control application or an update request signal requesting the update of the lighting control application to the server 400 (S445).

[0063] The server 400 transmits the requested lighting control application to the second smart device 200B via the network 300 (S450).

[0064] When the lighting control application is installed and executed in the second smart device 200B, a lighting control screen is configured. When the user of the second smart device 200B inputs location information about the user's location through the lighting control screen, a seating plan for the corresponding location can be searched and displayed, as shown in FIG. 6 (S455). For example, a seating plan for a sports stadium or concert hall where the user is located can be searched and displayed. In this case, the seating plan can be searched for in the storage unit 230 of the second smart device 200B. As another example, the seating plan can be searched for in the server 300 and provided to the second smart device 200B.

[0065] On the lighting control screen of FIG. 6, the user of the second smart device 200B can directly input his / her seat information by selecting his / her seat (S460).

[0066] Meanwhile, seating information can also be entered automatically. For example, a barcode (2D barcode, 3D barcode) containing seating information may be printed on an admission ticket held by a user of the second smart device 200B. When the user scans the barcode on the admission ticket using the second smart device 200B, the second smart device 200B can recognize the barcode and acquire the seating information. For this purpose, the second smart device 200B may further include a photographing unit (not shown) for scanning the barcode and acquiring an image. The second smart device 200B may also include a barcode recognition program for recognizing seating information from the image acquired by the photographing unit. In this case, the barcode recognition program may be implemented to be included in the lighting control application.

[0067] As another example, an NFC tag recording seat information for each seat may be attached to each seat, and when a user sits down and brings the second smart device 200B close to the NFC tag, the second smart device 200B can acquire the seat information from the NFC tag. In this way, if the second smart device 200B automatically acquires the seat information, step S455 of displaying the seating layout may be omitted.

[0068] 6, when the "Seat Selected" icon 22 is selected, the control unit 240 of the second smart device 200B transmits a mapping request signal to the server 400 (S470). The mapping request signal may include identification information (e.g., serial number) of the second lighting device 100B, identification information of the second smart device 200B, and seat information.

[0069] The server 400 maps the information included in the mapping request signal to each seat on the seating plan (S475). When the identification information has been mapped to all seats on the seating plan, the server 400 transmits a mapping completion signal to the first smart device 200A operating as the master (S480).

[0070] Thereafter, a lighting control screen including a seating plan is displayed on the display unit 220 of the first smart device 200A (S485). The user of the first smart device 200A can set a group for lighting control by referring to the seating plan (S490). For example, the user can set a group for lighting control by dragging a specific area on the seating plan to draw a boundary 24, as shown in FIG. 7.

[0071] After setting the groups, the user can set control pattern information for each group (S495). The control pattern information can include at least one of control pattern information for the lighting unit 110 and control pattern information for the display unit 220. The control pattern information for the lighting unit 110 can include the color of the light, the brightness of the light, the time when the light is turned on, the time when the light is turned off, and the blinking speed of the light. The control pattern information for the display unit 220 can include the color of the screen, the brightness of the screen, the time when the screen display starts, the blinking interval of the screen, the time when the screen display ends, and identification information of the content displayed on the screen. The user can select each group and set the control pattern information. Specifically, when the user selects inside the boundary 24 of a predetermined group, a menu for setting the control pattern information for the corresponding group is displayed, and the user can set the control pattern information for the corresponding group using the displayed menu.

[0072] After setting the control pattern information for each group, when the 'Set' icon 23 is selected, the first smart device 200A transmits the group-specific control pattern information to the first lighting device 100A (S500).

[0073] The first lighting device 100A transmits the group-specific control pattern information to the second lighting device 100B by wireless communication (S505).

[0074] The second lighting device 100B transmits the group-specific control pattern information received from the first lighting device 100A to the second smart device 200B. The second smart device 200B checks the content of the group-specific control pattern information and determines whether communication with the server 400 is necessary (S515). For example, if the control pattern information of the display unit 220 among the control pattern information contains content identification information, the second smart device 200B transmits a content request signal requesting the corresponding content to the server 400 (S520).

[0075] The server 400 searches for the content requested by the second smart device 200B and transmits it to the second smart device 200B (S525).Then, the server 400 transmits a transmission completion signal to the first smart device 200A to notify that the content transmission has been completed (S530).
