first embodiment

[0044] the lighting control apparatus 101 performs a registration mode to register the lighting device 111. The lighting control apparatus 101 may request the registration of the lighting control apparatus 101 to the lighting device 111. If the lighting control apparatus 101 requests the registration, the lighting device 111 may register the lighting control apparatus 101. In addition, the lighting control apparatus 101 may register the lighting device 111. Thereafter, the lighting control apparatus 101 performs a control mode to control the registered lighting device 111. In this case, the lighting control apparatus 101 may turn on or turn off the registered lighting device 111 or may control the dimming of the registered lighting device 111.

[0045]FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the first example of the lighting control procedure according to the first embodiment. According to the present embodiment, one lighting control apparatus 101 registers and controls one lighting device 111. I...

second embodiment

[0075]Meanwhile, the lighting control apparatus 101 performs the registration mode to register one of the lighting devices 111 as a reference lighting device 111. Further, the lighting control apparatus 101 may control the reference lighting device 111 at the registration mode to additionally register at least one of other lighting devices 111. Thereafter, the lighting control apparatus 101 performs the control mode to control the registered lighting device 111. In this case, the lighting control apparatus 101 may turn on or turn off the registered lighting device 111, or control the dimming operation of the registered lighting device 111.

[0076]FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing the lighting control procedure according to the second embodiment.

[0077]Referring to FIG. 14, according to the light control procedure of the present embodiment, in the state that the lighting control apparatus 101 and lighting devices 301, 302, 303, 304, 305, 306, and 307 are powered on, a reference lighting d...
