[0042] References to "one embodiment" or "some embodiments" etc. described in the specification of this application mean that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment is included in one or more embodiments of this application. Thus, statements such as "in one embodiment", "in some embodiments", "in other some embodiments", "in still other embodiments", etc. that appear in different places in this specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment, but mean "one or more but not all embodiments", unless otherwise specifically emphasized. The terms "comprising", "including", "having" and their variants all mean "including but not limited to", unless otherwise specifically emphasized.

[0043] The following introduces the application scenarios and specific implementation processes implemented by this application through specific embodiments.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 which is a schematic architecture diagram of the system application scenario for lamp control provided by an embodiment of this application. As Figure 1 shown, the system for lamp control may include a server and a lamp unit; the server may be a cloud server, and the lamp unit may be a lamp capable of realizing linkage control. As Figure 1 shown, the cloud server may establish communication connections with multiple groups of lamp units to obtain the status parameters of each lamp unit and send corresponding control instructions to each lamp unit, so as to realize the linkage control of the associated lamp units. Among them, a lamp unit may be a single lamp, such as the lamps in lamp groups 1 to n + 1; a lamp unit may also be a group of lamps, such as lamp groups 1 to n + 1; each group of lamps may include at least two interrelated lamps.

[0045] Exemplarily, two or more lamps in the same group may respectively establish communication connections with the server and realize linkage control through the server, so that two or more lamps across regions in the same group can work in the same or linked display states. Lamps in different groups may also establish communication connections with the server in the form of lamp groups, and the server can realize the cross-region linkage control of each lamp group based on the associated lamp groups, so that the associated lamp groups can work in the same or linked display states.

[0046] Exemplarily, the above-mentioned associated lamps can be two or more night light devices with the same working state. By receiving a trigger instruction input by the user and through the transmission of status parameters by the server, they can respectively work in multiple display states, such as different light colors (color temperatures), constant or flashing, etc. In the actual application process, corresponding signal indications can be set based on different display states to convey the intention information of the user through the indication signals corresponding to the display states; usually a group of lamps can include two or more lamps. After two or more lamps are powered on and started, they can access the wireless network and establish a communication connection with the server to transmit the status parameters of the current display state to the server. If the display state of one of the lamps changes, the server sends a control instruction to another associated lamp according to the changed status parameters, instructing the other lamp to adjust the corresponding display state based on the changed status parameters, and the display state can be adjusted to be the same as that of the lamp whose state has changed, such as emitting the same light as the changed lamp; or a display state linked to the changed display state of the lamp. For example, if the lamp after the state change displays a heart-shaped light, the lamp receiving the control instruction is adjusted to the display state of a heart flashing light.

[0047] In the embodiment of the present application, through the server's associated control of lamps across regions, real-time communication of lamps across regions is realized to transmit different indication signals, etc.; the associated lamps can work in a mutual control mode, so that the lamps associated across regions can switch the display state based on the control of each other, not limited to the process where only the main lamp controls the secondary lamp, making the control process more flexible and diverse; moreover, the lamps across regions can directly establish a communication connection with the server through the home wireless network (WiFi) without additional setting of an Internet of Things card (such as a GSM Internet of Things card), reducing the communication frequency band's communication restrictions on the lamps across regions, ensuring the stability of the lamps' cross-region communication, and without increasing the additional cost generated by communication; at the same time, the communication control is simple, and the user experience can also be improved.

[0048] For the architecture of the above-mentioned system application scenario of lamp control, the embodiment of the present application provides a lamp control method. The following introduces the specific process of implementing this method through the embodiment of the present application.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 which is a schematic flowchart of the lamp control method provided by the embodiment of the present application. As Figure 2 shown, the execution subject of this method can be the Figure 1 server in it. Taking the server as a cloud server as an example for explanation, this method can include the following steps:

[0050] S201, obtain the first status parameter sent by the first lamp unit in the first display state.

[0051] In some embodiments, the first lighting unit may be a single lamp or a group of lamps; the group of lamps may include two or more lamps. The first display state may be the operating state that the first lighting unit enters when receiving a trigger instruction input by the user. The first state parameter may be a lamp color temperature parameter, a brightness parameter, or a voltage or current parameter for controlling the display state of the lamp, etc. The first lighting unit may receive a trigger instruction input by the user in the form of a button or a combination of buttons, or a trigger instruction input by voice, or a trigger instruction input by an application. Here, the trigger method for the lamp to enter a new display state is not specifically limited.

[0052] Exemplarily, after receiving an externally input trigger instruction, the lamp can change its own display state and upload the state parameter corresponding to the current display state to the server, and the server records and stores it as the state parameter corresponding to the lamp; the lamp can also change the display state based on the control instruction sent by the server, and upload the display parameter corresponding to the display state to the server, or the server records and saves the state parameter corresponding to the control instruction transmitted to the controlled lamp as the state parameter corresponding to the lamp.

[0053] In some embodiments, before obtaining the first state parameter sent by the first lighting unit in the first display state, the method further includes:

[0054] After the first lighting unit or the second lighting unit is connected to the network, obtain the state parameter sent by the first lighting unit or the second lighting unit; refresh and save the state parameter sent by the first lighting unit or the second lighting unit based on the preset period at the preset period.

[0055] Exemplarily, each lamp or each group of lamps may correspond to an attribute information, and the attribute information may be a model or an identity identifier ID uniquely corresponding to one or a group of lamps. After the lamp is turned on, it can be connected to the wireless network, so that it can establish network communication with the server, and upload the state parameter of the current display state based on the network communication. The server can record and save the state parameter of the lamp, and update the previous state parameter corresponding to the state parameter uploaded after the lamp is triggered to change the display state.

[0056] Exemplarily, after the lamp is turned on, it is connected to the wireless network and establishes a communication connection with the server. It can switch the display state based on the trigger instruction input by the user, and can also switch the display state at a preset period based on the set display mode; when the lamp switches the display state at a preset period, the server can obtain the state parameter of the lamp at the preset period.

[0057] S202. Determine a second lighting unit associated with the first lighting unit based on the first state parameter and the attribute information of the first lighting unit.

[0058] In some embodiments, the attribute information of the first lighting unit may include a model number or an identity identifier ID uniquely corresponding to a lighting fixture or a group of lighting fixtures. For example, the identity identifier ID numbers of two interrelated lighting fixtures may be TXD001 and TXD002 respectively. The identity representation ID number may also be represented in other forms, and the specific form of the identity identifier ID number is not specifically limited herein.

[0059] In some embodiments, before obtaining the first state parameter sent by the first lighting unit in the first display state, the method further includes:

[0060] Create an associated account that associates the first lighting unit with the second lighting unit. The associated account includes the attribute information of the first lighting unit, the attribute information of the second lighting unit, and the association information between the first lighting unit and the second lighting unit.

[0061] Exemplarily, taking lighting fixture TXD001 and lighting fixture TXD002 as an example, after powering on, they automatically connect to WIFI and upload their respective state parameters to the cloud server. Assume that TXD001 lights red and TXD002 lights yellow. The server can receive the login information input by the user based on the application program, complete the account login, and search for the lighting fixtures with ID numbers TXD001 and TXD002 based on the retrieval ID number input by the user. The server receives the instruction input by the user to create an associated lighting fixture account TXD001&TXD002 (the account name is user-defined and does not duplicate), establishes the associated account, adds the ID numbers TXD001 and TXD002 of the lighting fixtures to the account in sequence. After setting the association successfully, save the association information corresponding to the established association relationship. Based on this association information, the associated lighting fixtures can be found.

[0062] S203. Determine a reference parameter based on the first state parameter and send a control instruction to the second lighting unit. The control instruction is used to instruct the second lighting unit to adjust to a second display state associated with the first display state of the first lighting unit based on the reference parameter.

[0063] In some embodiments, the reference parameter is a parameter determined by the server based on the first state parameter of the first lighting unit or the state linkage parameter in the association information between the first lighting unit and the second lighting unit, and is used to control the display state of the second lighting unit associated with the first lighting unit.

[0064] In an application scenario, the above-mentioned lighting unit can operate in an independent mode. Taking lighting fixture A and lighting fixture B as examples, when lighting fixture A and lighting fixture B are not associated, whether the communication between lighting fixture A and lighting fixture B is successful or not, they both operate in the independent mode and do not control each other; when lighting fixture A and lighting fixture B are associated, when the communication of lighting fixture B (or lighting fixture A) is not successful or it is not turned on, lighting fixture A (lighting fixture B) operates in the independent mode, that is, it is not controlled by lighting fixture B (lighting fixture A).

[0065] In another application scenario, the above-mentioned lighting unit can also operate in a mutual control mode. Taking lighting fixture A and lighting fixture B as examples, when lighting fixture A and lighting fixture B are associated and the communication between lighting fixture A and lighting fixture B is successful, the lighting fixtures operate in the mutual control mode, that is, the output states of both are changed under the control of each other. Exemplarily, based on this application scenario, the synchronous control between associated lighting fixtures can be topologically arranged as terminal-to-terminal, that is, both lighting fixture A and lighting fixture B are controllers and actuators. When lighting fixture A (or lighting fixture B) issues a certain control instruction, lighting fixture A (or lighting fixture B) first executes this operation instruction itself, and at the same time sends the control instruction to lighting fixture B (or lighting fixture A). After receiving the control instruction, lighting fixture B (or lighting fixture A) executes the relevant actions of this operation instruction, thereby completing all operations of issuing the control instruction.

[0066] In some embodiments, determining a reference parameter based on the first state parameter and sending a control instruction to the second lighting unit, where the control instruction is used to instruct the second lighting unit to adjust to a second display state associated with the first display state of the first lighting unit, includes:

[0067] Using the first state parameter as the reference parameter and sending the control instruction to the second lighting unit, where the control instruction is used to instruct the second lighting unit to adjust to the second display state that is the same as the first display state of the first lighting unit; or, determining the reference parameter associated with the first state parameter based on the state linkage parameter in the association information, and sending the control instruction to the second lighting unit, where the control instruction is used to instruct the second lighting unit to adjust to the second display state linked to the first display state of the first lighting unit.

[0068] In some embodiments, after creating the association account associated with the first lighting unit and the second lighting unit, the method further includes:

[0069] Based on the addition order of adding relevant lighting units to the associated account, use the status parameter of the last lighting unit obtained in the obtained addition order as the reference parameter; send the reference parameter to the lighting unit associated with the last lighting unit to instruct the lighting unit associated with the last lighting unit to adjust to the display state associated with the last lighting unit based on the reference parameter.

[0070] Exemplarily, after the server creates an associated account, it can control the display states of the associated lighting fixtures according to the order of adding the lighting fixtures; for example, add lighting fixture TXD001 and lighting fixture TXD002 to the associated account TXD001&TXD002 in sequence, and use the status parameter of TXD002 as the reference parameter (when initially creating an account and adding associated lighting fixtures, use the status parameter of the last added lighting fixture as the reference parameter), and at the same time send an instruction to lighting fixture TXD001; after receiving the instruction, lighting fixture TXD001 changes its current status parameter to the reference parameter, so that the display state of lighting fixture TXD001 is adjusted to be the same as that of lighting fixture TXD002, and upload its updated status parameter to the associated account TXD001&TXD002 in the server, thereby realizing the synchronous control of the status of the associated lighting fixtures.

[0071] Exemplarily, the associated information in the associated account may further include status linkage parameters indicating a linkage relationship between lighting units, and the status linkage parameters can control the associated lighting units to display associated display states. The server determines a reference parameter linked to the first status parameter based on the status linkage parameters in the associated information, and sends a control instruction to the second lighting unit, and the control instruction includes the reference parameter linked to the first status parameter, so that the second lighting unit can be adjusted to the display state associated with the first lighting unit based on this reference parameter. For example, when the first lighting unit is triggered, it displays a heart-shaped light. The server determines the reference parameter linked to this status parameter according to the associated information in the associated account, and sends a control instruction containing this reference parameter to the second lighting unit. The second lighting unit receives the control instruction and adjusts to the light display state of heart twinkling (i.e., a display state different from but associated with the first lighting unit) based on this reference parameter.

[0072] Through the embodiments of the present application, after the associated lighting units are connected to the Internet via WIFI, they actively send the current status parameters to the same cloud server port. The cloud server refreshes and saves the status parameters of each lighting unit in real time, such as parameters like color temperature and brightness. After the lighting units with different IDs are associated and set, according to the priority of the lighting units added to the associated account (the priority is determined according to the order of adding the lighting units when initially creating the account), taking the status parameters of the lighting unit with the highest priority or the last added order as the reference parameters, the status parameters of the remaining associated lighting units are adjusted to these reference parameters, thus achieving synchronous control; improving the stability of cross-regional control of the lighting; and it can be achieved through the daily used wireless network, without involving a series of problems such as applying for a card, subsequent fees, and limited communication frequency bands, reducing the cost of communication control.

[0073] An embodiment of the present application also provides a lighting control method, which is applied to any one of the mutually associated lighting units. The following combines Figure 3 The schematic diagram of the lighting working process shown to introduce the lighting control method in this embodiment. Corresponding to the lighting control method in the above embodiment, and the principle implemented by this method corresponds to the implementation principle of the above lighting control method. Based on the description of the above embodiment, this embodiment will not be elaborated; this method may include the following steps:

[0074] S31, in response to the status trigger instruction input by the user, switch the current display status to the first display status.

[0075] S32, send the first status parameter to the server in the first display status; the first status parameter is used to instruct the server to determine the reference parameter based on the first status parameter and send a control instruction to the second lighting unit; the control instruction is used to instruct the second lighting unit to adjust to the second display status associated with the first display status of the first lighting unit.

[0076] Wherein, the second lighting unit is associated with the first lighting unit, and the control instruction includes the reference parameter.

[0077] Exemplarily, the lighting unit can change the display status based on the trigger instruction input by the user. The trigger instruction can be input in the form of a button or a combination of buttons, a trigger instruction input by voice, or an input by an application program.

[0078] The following further introduces the specific working process of the lighting unit. This working process may include the following steps:

[0079] S301, power on and start.

[0080] S302, restore to the display status before shutdown and establish a communication connection with the server.

[0081] S303, Detect whether a trigger instruction input by the user is received, or based on the communication connection, detect whether a control instruction sent by the server is received; if so, execute S304; if not, execute S306.

[0082] S304, Switch to the target display state corresponding to the trigger instruction based on the trigger instruction, or switch to the target display state corresponding to the reference parameter in the control instruction based on the control instruction.

[0083] S305, Detect whether to shut down; if so, execute S307; if not, execute S306.

[0084] S306, Maintain the current display state.

[0085] S307, Shut down.

[0086] Exemplarily, when the lamp unit is not connected to the cloud server, it automatically enters the independent working mode state; when the lamp is manually or automatically shut down (such as when the battery power is insufficient), no status information is sent to the control platform of the cloud server; when all the interconnected lamps are offline, the cloud server control platform automatically clears the reference parameters.

[0087] In some embodiments, the method further includes: receiving the control instruction sent by the server, where the control instruction includes the reference parameter determined by the server based on the second status parameter when the second lamp unit switches to the third display state; according to the reference parameter in the control instruction, adjust to the display state associated with the third display state of the second lamp unit.

[0088] In some embodiments, the method further includes: after power-on startup, resume to the display state before shutdown and establish a communication connection with the server; if the control instruction sent by the server is received based on the communication connection, switch to the target display state corresponding to the reference parameter in the control instruction; if the control instruction sent by the server is not received, maintain the current display state.

[0089] The lamp provided by the embodiment of the present application can be applied to information transmission between different target objects. For example, for groups such as lovers, mothers and infants, single people, lonely elderly people, and friends and relatives living in different places, corresponding indication signals can be transmitted by endowing different light colors (or color temperatures) with special emotional colors. For example, golden light with a low color temperature (about 1800 - 2000K) and no blue light hazard is selected as the main light color, and two light colors, red light (or reddish) and yellow light (or yellowish), are used as auxiliary light colors to jointly form the output light color of the lamp, etc., to improve the user experience; at the same time, for the remote synchronous control of the lamp, there is no restriction on cross-region use and no subsequent fees are generated. The indication signals can be transmitted to each other in real time and stably through WIFI network communication.

[0090] See Figure 4 , a schematic diagram of the interaction process between the server and the lamp provided by the embodiment of the present application; based on the same implementation principle as the above embodiment, it will not be elaborated here; this interaction process may include the following steps:

[0091] After the first lamp and the second lamp are powered on and started, they respectively establish communication connections with the server. The server creates an associated account for the first lamp and the second lamp, and adds the attribute information and association information of the first lamp and the second lamp to the associated account.

[0092] 1. After receiving the trigger instruction, the first lamp operates in the first display state.

[0093] 2. The first lamp sends the first state parameter in the first display state to the server.

[0094] The first case:

[0095] 3. The server uses the first state parameter as the reference parameter and determines the second lamp associated with the first lamp based on the attribute information of the first lamp.

[0096] 4. The server sends a control instruction containing the reference parameter to the second lamp.

[0097] 5. The second lamp adjusts the current display state to the same first display state as the first lamp according to the reference parameter.

[0098] The second case:

[0099] 6. The server determines the reference parameter linked to the first state parameter based on the state linkage parameter in the association information, and determines the second lamp associated with the first lamp based on the attribute information of the first lamp.

[0100] 7. The server sends a control instruction containing the reference parameter to the second lamp.

[0101] 8. The second lighting fixture adjusts the current display state to a second display state that is linked to the display state of the first lighting fixture according to the reference parameters.

[0102] See Figure 5 , the structural schematic diagram of the lighting fixture provided by the application embodiment. As Figure 5 shown, the lighting fixture may include an MCU main control unit, a WIFI communication unit, a battery unit (battery), a power control unit (power IC, Dis / Charge IC), an LED driving unit (drive IC), a light source unit (2835_R, 2835_Y), and a button control unit (Key1, Key2, Key3).

[0103] Among them, in terms of power supply, 5VDC input is adopted, and a Type-c interface is used. An internal lithium battery or supercapacitor energy storage element is provided, with a 30H battery life, and at the same time has functions of charge and discharge management and battery power status display. To ensure the best battery life, a low-power design is adopted.

[0104] In terms of the light source, two types of lamp beads, 2835_R and 2835_Y, are selected, and the total design power is 2-4W. The R and Y lamp beads are independently controlled by different driving chips, and can output three highly recognizable light colors: red light, yellow light, and golden yellow light. Among them, the red light and the yellow light are slightly adjusted according to the application, such as adding a small amount of yellow light or red light to the red light or yellow light, but are different from the golden yellow light. At the same time, the brightness between different light colors is adjustable, and three brightness levels of high, medium, and low are planned to be designed.

[0105] In terms of control, the display state of the light output of the lamp group, that is, the light color and brightness, is controlled by buttons or a mobile phone app. It can be realized based on a two-in-one composite button. For example, one button is used to adjust the light color, and the other button is used to adjust the brightness. After the output of the lighting fixture is stable (such as set to be 3s after stopping the operation), the lighting fixture uploads the state parameters of the current display state to the cloud server control platform through WIFI networking, and the control platform sets the state parameters as reference parameters and issues control instructions to the associated lighting fixtures, so that the output states of the associated lighting fixtures are kept consistent or linked to each other; or the control platform takes the parameters associated with the state parameters as reference parameters and issues control instructions to the associated lighting fixtures.

[0106] In terms of the cloud server, the cloud server is the central controller of the lighting fixture, which is used to set the associated lighting fixtures, monitor the working state of the lighting fixtures, and issue control instructions to make the associated lighting fixtures output the same or linked output states.

[0107] Through the embodiments of the present application, the problem of cross-regional synchronous control is solved. It can be unrestricted by regions and achieve synchronous control globally without subsequent communication cost problems. The remote synchronous control of the present application is implemented through a server. As a control platform, the server can receive the status parameters output by all lamps, set the associated accounts of the lamps, and send control instructions to achieve synchronous control. After the status parameters of the lamps in the present application change, they can actively send the output status parameters to the server control platform, and at the same time can receive the instructions sent by the server control platform and execute the relevant instruction operations. Through the associated control of lamps across regions, the present application realizes real-time communication of lamps across regions to transmit different indication signals, etc.; the associated lamp groups can work in a mutual control mode, so that the associated lamp groups across regions can switch the output display status based on the control of each other; moreover, the lamps across regions can directly establish a communication connection with the server through the home wireless network (WiFi) without additional setting of an Internet of Things card (such as a GSM Internet of Things card), reducing the communication frequency band restriction on the communication of lamps across regions and ensuring the stability of the communication of lamps across regions; at the same time, the communication control is simple and can also improve the user experience.

[0108] The lamps proposed in the embodiments of the present application can be applicable to target objects in different application scenarios, such as groups of lovers, mothers and infants, single people, lonely elderly people, and friends and relatives in different places, and different indication signals are transmitted by endowing different light colors (or color temperatures). In addition, the lamps can also be applicable to different places, such as places for suggestive messaging or interactive entertainment. The synchronous control technology of the lamps proposed in the embodiments of the present application can also be applied to specific fields or places, such as schools, nursing homes, theme parks, characteristic towns, and the field of integrated control of urban lighting, etc., with the characteristics of strong redundancy, simple control operation and installation.
