Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a method for public performances in a performance venue using a light-emitting device, and a public performance system using the same. Background Technology

[0002] Generally, a light-emitting device (or lighting device) means a device that achieves illumination by reflecting, refracting, and transmitting light from a light source. Light-emitting devices can be classified according to their light distribution into indirect light-emitting devices, semi-indirect light-emitting devices, fully diffused light-emitting devices, semi-direct light-emitting devices, and direct light-emitting devices, etc.

[0003] With the development of technology, lighting devices are used for a variety of purposes. As an example, lighting devices are used in media facades. Media facades refer to those that achieve media functions by installing lighting devices on the exterior walls of buildings.

[0004] As another example, in sports competitions or concerts held in environments below a predetermined illuminance level, light-emitting devices can also be used as small cheering tools. However, in such environments, because multiple lighting fixtures are controlled independently, it is difficult to generate a systematic pattern or shape. Furthermore, it is difficult to achieve the desired cheering effect simply by using light sources arranged in the light-emitting device.

[0005] Furthermore, due to the limitation of available wireless bandwidth, it is difficult to generate lighting patterns or shapes for the system using a large number of light-emitting devices.

[0006] Therefore, in order to specifically solve the problems mentioned above, it is necessary to introduce a solution that can uniformly control multiple light-emitting devices and enable diverse performances in venues such as sports competitions or concerts. Summary of the Invention

[0007] Technical issues

[0008] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a method for public performance using a light-emitting device in a performance venue and a public performance system using the same.

[0009] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a performance method and a performance system that uses at least one transmitter to control at least one light-emitting device within a limited wireless bandwidth.

[0010] The technical problems that this invention aims to solve are not limited to those mentioned above. Those skilled in the art will clearly understand other technical problems not mentioned below through the following description.

[0011] Technical solution

[0012] To address the technical problem of this invention, a performance system of this invention may include: a control console device that generates at least one light control signal including data with light-related operations defined according to the performance scene, and transmits it to at least one communication device; at least one communication device that transmits the light control signal received from the control console device; and at least one light-emitting device that identifies a light control signal including pre-set identification information of the communication device from the transmitted light control signal, and executes the light-related operations defined in the data within the identified light control signal.

[0013] Furthermore, the at least one light emission control signal can be transmitted through different wireless bandwidths.

[0014] Furthermore, the at least one light-emitting device can store the identification information of the at least one communication device and the wireless bandwidth to be used by the at least one communication device as a list.

[0015] Furthermore, when the at least one light-emitting device receives an identification information correction command signal that includes identification information of a specific communication device, it can use the identification information of the specific communication device to replace the pre-set identification information of the communication device in order to identify the light-emitting control signal of the specific communication device.

[0016] Furthermore, upon receiving a general light-emitting control signal, the at least one light-emitting device can perform light-emitting related operations defined in the data within all received light-emitting control signals, independent of the pre-stored identification information of the communication device.

[0017] Furthermore, the data may also include identification information of the light-emitting device, and the at least one light-emitting device may perform the light-emitting related operation defined in the data within the light-emitting control signal only if the identification information of the light-emitting device included in the data is consistent with the identification information of the light-emitting device stored in advance.

[0018] Furthermore, the data may also include operators and operation coefficients. The at least one light-emitting device can calculate the identification information of the light-emitting device to be performed based on the operators and operation coefficients. If the result of the calculation is that the identification information of the pre-stored light-emitting device is included in the identification information of the light-emitting device to be performed, the light-emitting related operation defined in the data within the light-emitting control signal can be performed.

[0019] Furthermore, the data may also include performance identification information, which may include at least one of the following: the company to which the performance belongs, the company in charge of the performance, the date of the performance, and the number of performances.

[0020] To address the technical problem of this invention, the method for public performance using a light-emitting device in a performance venue may include the following steps: in a control console device, generating at least one light-emitting control signal including data with light-emitting related operations defined according to the performance scene, and transmitting it to at least one communication device; in the at least one communication device, sending the light-emitting control signal received from the control console device; and in the at least one light-emitting device, identifying a light-emitting control signal including pre-set identification information of the communication device from the sent light-emitting control signal, and executing the light-emitting related operations defined in the data within the identified light-emitting control signal.

[0021] Technical effect

[0022] According to the present invention, when performing in a performance venue, the frequency band can be utilized more effectively than the individual control of the lighting devices, while simultaneously reducing the delay time of the control signals. Furthermore, compared to the prior art, a larger number of lighting devices can be controlled simultaneously in real time.

[0023] According to the present invention, when a performance is being held in a performance venue, the light-emitting state of the light-emitting device can be changed in real time to carry out the performance, thus making it easy to provide a variety of performance scenes and light-emitting effects according to the situation.

[0024] The effects of the present invention are not limited to those mentioned above, and other effects not mentioned will be clearly understood by those skilled in the art through the following description. Attached Figure Description

[0040] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0041] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the configuration of a performance system for performing in a performance venue according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0042] Reference Figure 1According to an embodiment of the present invention, a system 10 for performing in a performance venue (hereinafter referred to as a performance system) may include a control console device 100, transmitters 200a, 200b, ..., 200n (hereinafter 200), and light-emitting devices 300a_a, ..., 300a-n, 300b_a, ..., 300b_n, ..., 300n_a, ..., 300n-n (hereinafter 300). In this performance system 10, the control console device 100 controls the light-emitting state of the light-emitting devices 300, thereby enabling the display of various forms of light-emitting patterns for performances, such as cheers from the audience in the performance venue.

[0043] For performances to be conducted in a performance venue, the control console device 100 can perform the function of controlling the light-emitting device 300. As one embodiment, the control console device 100 can be one of the following electronic devices: mobile phone, smartphone, laptop computer, digital broadcasting terminal, personal digital assistant (PDA), portable multimedia player (PMP), navigator, slate PC, tablet PC, ultrabook, wearable device (e.g., smartwatch, smart glass, head-mounted display), etc. It can include all electronic devices capable of installing and executing applications related to an embodiment, or it can be configured as part of a structure including such electronic devices or in various forms that can be linked with such electronic devices.

[0044] Furthermore, the console device 100 can be one of the following electronic devices and PC software: MA Lighting grandMA2, grandMA3, ETC EOS, ETCION, ETC GIO, Chroma Q Vista, High End HOG, High End Fullboar, Avolites SapphireAvolites Tiger, Chamsys MagicQ, Obsidian control systems Onyx, Martin M6, Martin M1, Nicolaudie Sunlite, ESA, ESA2, Lumidesk, SunSuite, Arcolis, Daslight, LightRider, MADRIX, DJ LIGHT STUDIO, DISCO-DESIGNER VJ STUDIO, Stagecraft, Lightkey, etc.

[0045] In this invention, the transmitter 200 is a communication device such as an antenna, which can transmit a light emission control signal received from the control console device 100 to the light emission device 300. As the transmitter 200 receives a light emission control signal from the control console device 100 for controlling the light emission of the light emission device 300 and transmits the light emission control signal to the light emission device 300, the light emission device 300 can emit light in a manner corresponding to the light emission pattern included in the light emission control signal.

[0046] In this invention, the transmitter 200 is disclosed as a device independent of the console device 100, but the console device 100 may include a communication module that performs the same function as the transmitter 200. Therefore, the console device 100 can perform the same function as the transmitter 200 according to the embodiment, and the light-emitting device 300 can receive a light-emitting control signal from the console device 100 and emit light.

[0047] In this invention, the control console device 100 includes suitable software or computer programs capable of controlling the light-emitting device 300. As an embodiment, exemplary protocols for controlling the light-emitting device 300 may include DMX512, RDM, Art-Net, sACN, ETC-Net2, Pathport, Shownet, or KiNET. The control console device 100 may transmit data signals (e.g., light emission control signals) in a suitable format such as DMX512, Art-Net, sACN, ETC-Net2, Pathport, Shownet, or KiNET. The control console device 100 generates light emission control signals to control the light-emitting device 300, which are transmitted to the light-emitting device 300, causing one or more light-emitting devices to emit light according to the light emission control signals. The light emission control signals may include information about the light emission state (e.g., emission color, brightness value, flashing speed, etc.).

[0048] Furthermore, the light-emitting control signal generated from the console device 100 is received by the main device (not shown), and the main device can convert the light-emitting control signal into a wireless signal. Moreover, the main device can transmit the converted wireless signal to the transmitter 200, which can then transmit it wirelessly (e.g., RF communication) to the light-emitting device 300 within the performance venue. Here, the wireless signal can be a signal generated by converting control data into a form for wirelessly controlling the light-emitting device 300.

[0049] According to the embodiment, the main device can be omitted, the control console device 100 can directly transmit the light emission control signal to the transmitter 200, and the transmitter 200 can convert the light emission control signal into a wireless signal and then send it to the light emission device 300.

[0050] Furthermore, the console device 100 may be equipped with multiple input / output ports. The console device 100 may be equipped with input / output ports that correspond to or are associated with specific data signal formats or protocols. For example, the console device 100 may be equipped with a first port dedicated to DMX512 and RDM data input / output and a second port dedicated to Art-Net, sACN, ETC-Net2, Pathport, Shownet, and KiNET data input / output.

[0051] DMX512, RDM, Art-Net, sACN, ETC-Net2, Pathport, Shownet, and KiNET protocols are widely known as control protocols for stage lighting equipment. According to embodiments of the present invention, control protocols such as DMX512, RDM, Art-Net, sACN, ETC-Net2, Pathport, Shownet, and KiNET can be used to achieve more flexible control planning for the light-emitting device 300.

[0052] In this invention, the light-emitting device 300 can perform the function of displaying various light-emitting patterns in real time or according to predetermined control information through the control console device 100.

[0053] Furthermore, the light-emitting device 300 may include light-emitting elements / devices such as LCDs and LEDs, or devices connected to light-emitting elements / devices, and as a device including any electronic device capable of wireless communication, it can be a small cheering tool held by the audience in performance venues such as stadiums or concerts. As one embodiment, the light-emitting device 300 may also correspond to mobile phones, wireless cheering sticks, light sticks, light bars, light balls, light panels, and appliances with wirelessly controllable light sources attached. In this specification, the light-emitting device 300 may also be referred to as a lighting device, receiver, controlled device, slave device, or slave lighting device. Furthermore, the light-emitting device 300 may include wearable devices that can be attached to and / or worn on parts of the body such as the wrist or chest.

[0054] In this invention, the light-emitting device 300 can parse the light-emitting control signal received from the transmitter 200 and emit light based on the identification information of the transmitter 200 pre-stored. Specifically, the light-emitting device 300 can compare the pre-stored identification information of the transmitter 200 with the identification information of the transmitter included in the light-emitting control signal. If the comparison result is the same, the light-emitting device 300 can emit light in a manner corresponding to the light-emitting pattern included in the corresponding light-emitting control signal.

[0055] like Figure 1As shown, the light-emitting devices 300a_a, ..., 300a-n included in set 400a can emit light in a manner corresponding to the light-emitting pattern included in the light-emitting control signal received from transmitter 200a; the light-emitting devices 300b_a, ..., 300b_n included in set 400b can emit light in a manner corresponding to the light-emitting control signal received from transmitter 200b; and the light-emitting devices 300n_a, ..., 300n-n included in set 400n can emit light in a manner corresponding to the light-emitting pattern included in the light-emitting control signal received from transmitter 200n. Here, sets 400a, 400b, ..., 400n (hereinafter 400) can refer to sets of light-emitting devices having the same transmitter identification information. Therefore, the number of light-emitting devices included in each set can vary depending on each set. Set 400 can be a group divided by area or domain based on the seating information of the performance venue, assuming that the light-emitting devices 300 are in their seats, according to the intention of the performance planner. Therefore, set 400 can correspond to information representing the largest unit in the seating information displayed for each seat, such as area A, area B, etc. Furthermore, the performance planner can divide the control area into sets within a region, and then use different transmitters to control the lighting devices included in different sets.

[0056] The transmitter 200 of the present invention can be directional. The performance planner can arrange the transmitter 200 in the performance planning process, taking into account the specifications of the transmitter to be used in the corresponding performance. Therefore, the light-emitting device 300 can receive light-emitting control signals from the transmitter 200, which has identification information corresponding to the identification information of the transmitter pre-stored in the light-emitting device 300.

[0057] Furthermore, in this invention, the transmitter's identification information includes not only the transmitter's ID, but also a series of information (e.g., text, keywords, and articles) related to the specific transmitter that should receive data from the specific light-emitting device.

[0058] As one embodiment, when the light-emitting device 300 is controlled in a group control manner, each transmitter 200 can transmit the range information of the control group it is responsible for for at least one performance scene as identification information. In this case, the light-emitting device 300 confirms its own group information corresponding to the received scene and calculates whether its own group information is included in the range of the group transmitted as identification information, thereby determining whether to emit light based on the control signal included in the data received from the corresponding transmitter. For example, the first transmitter can transmit information controlling groups 1 to 100 in scene 1 as identification information, and the second transmitter can transmit information controlling groups 101 to 300 in scene 1 as identification information. When group control is used, if a specific light-emitting device in scene 1 that receives identification information from the first transmitter and the second transmitter is included in group 105, the specific light-emitting device can determine whether to emit light based on the control signal included in the data received from the second transmitter. Therefore, even if the memory 320 does not pre-store the identification information of the transmitter, the light-emitting device 300 can determine whether to emit light based on the control signal included in the data transmitted from a certain transmitter by calculating the identification information of the transmitted transmitter in real time.

[0059] Similar to group control, when the light-emitting device 300 is controlled in a pixel-control manner, each transmitter 200 can transmit the range information of the pixels it is responsible for for at least one performance scene as identification information. In this case, the light-emitting device 300 confirms its own pixel information corresponding to the received scene and calculates whether its own pixel information is included in the set transmitted as identification information, thereby determining whether to emit light based on the control signal included in the data received from the respective transmitter.

[0060] For ease of explanation, this specification will be described under the premise that the transmitter's identification information, such as ID, is stored in the memory 320.

[0061] Figure 2 This is a diagram illustrating an example of the performance effect of a performance in the audience seating area of ​​a performance venue according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0062] In order to achieve the performance effect by using the light-emitting devices 300 arranged corresponding to each seat in the performance venue, the performance system 10 can generate light-emitting control signals.

[0063] At this time, the light emission control signal can be generated by the console device 100, or it can be generated by a separate device (e.g., a data generation device or an external server) and provided to the console device 100. For ease of explanation, the following will describe the case where the console device 100 generates the light emission control signal.

[0064] At this time, the control console device 100 can receive and store performance data from other devices (e.g., data generation devices) in advance, or it can receive performance data through other storage or transmission media. Furthermore, the control console device 100 can receive performance data in real time during the performance and generate corresponding lighting control signals.

[0065] The performance data can include control information based on the scenes performed during the performance period. Specifically, the performance data can include information regarding group control, image control, and pixel control, as described below, based on the scene.

[0066] During the performance at the performance venue, the data generation device (not shown) uses the light-emitting device 300 to generate the performance scene to be performed. At this time, the performance scene can be constructed separately according to the performance intervals. For example, the first performance scene (e.g., scene 1) can be generated in the first performance interval (e.g., time 1), and the second performance scene (e.g., scene 2) can be generated in the second performance interval (e.g., time 2). Figure 2 As shown, when there are audience seats within the performance venue, the following can be generated in the first performance area: Figure 2 The specific text shown is displayed in the first performance scene, and the audience seats are illuminated in different colors. Furthermore, in the second performance area, a scene different from the first performance scene can be generated, for example, a second performance scene displayed with specific graphics and patterns.

[0067] According to one embodiment of the present invention, when the data generation apparatus performs group control on the light-emitting device 300, it can group the audience seats of the performance venue into multiple groups based on each performance scene generated according to the performance interval, and generate group information for each of the grouped groups. For example, if it is possible to group multiple units with a light-emitting pattern similar to or the same as the first performance scene to be performed in the first performance interval, the audience seats of the performance venue can be divided into multiple areas corresponding to the group units, and each area can be generated as a group. In other words, the first performance scene of the first performance interval can include multiple groups.

[0068] Reference Figure 2 The seats in the audience that are displayed with specific text can be designated as the first group 210, and the seats in the audience that are performing with the same glowing color can be distinguished and designated as the second group 220, the third group 230, the fourth group 240 and the fifth group 250 respectively.

[0069] The group control can be a control method used to control all light-emitting devices that emit the same color of light in a group. However, in Figure 2The group control method described is merely an example for controlling the light-emitting device 300, and the light-emitting control signal should not be interpreted as being limited to signals used only for group control. For example, the light-emitting control signal of the present invention may include control signals for image control or pixel control of the light-emitting device 300.

[0070] The image control can be a control method where each light-emitting device 300 emits light according to the light-emitting colors pre-stored for the performance scene, upon receiving a light-emitting control signal. For example, a specific light-emitting device can pre-store values ​​for red, green, blue, white, amber, etc., corresponding to each light-emitting and control element according to the scene, so that it emits red light in the first performance scene and green light in the second performance scene.

[0071] Therefore, in group control, each light-emitting device 300 stores its own group-related information according to the scene. In contrast, in picture control, the difference is that each light-emitting device 300 stores its own light-emitting color according to the scene.

[0072] Furthermore, similar to group control, each light-emitting device 300 can store information related to its own pixel. Here, a pixel can include at least one consecutive seat. Therefore, in group control, light-emitting devices 300 located in non-consecutive seats can be controlled to the same color; conversely, in pixel control, the difference is that light-emitting devices 300 located in consecutive seats can be controlled to the same color.

[0073] Refer again Figure 2 The control console device 100 can transmit a light emission control signal based on at least one of group control, pixel control, and image control. The light emission device 300 receives the light emission control signal and emits light, thereby achieving the desired effect. Figure 2 The data generation device can display text or achieve various performance effects in the performance venue. The above operations of the data generation device can also be performed by the console device 100.

[0074] Figure 3 This is a block diagram illustrating the configuration of a console device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0075] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the console device 100 may include a communication unit 110, a memory 120, and a processor 130. Figure 3 The components shown are not essential for implementing the console device 100, and therefore the console device 100 described herein may have more or fewer components than those listed above.

[0076] Among the aforementioned components, the communication unit 110 may include one or more modules capable of wired or wireless communication with the transmitter 200 or a wireless communication terminal (e.g., a smartphone) (not shown) or data generation device (not shown) held by the audience. Furthermore, the communication unit 110 may include one or more modules for connecting the console device 100 to one or more networks.

[0077] The memory 120 may include a cache memory, a buffer, etc., and may store data received from or generated by the processor 130 or the data generation device. As one embodiment, the memory 120 may store performance data generated by the data generation device.

[0078] The processor 130 can generate a light-emitting control signal corresponding to each scene in the corresponding performance area based on the performance data stored in the memory 120, and transmit the generated control signal to the transmitter 200.

[0079] The following is for reference Figures 4 to 6 The process of controlling the light-emitting device 300 through the performance system 10 in the performance venue and the composition of the light-emitting device 300 are explained.

Figure 4 The components shown are not essential for realizing the light-emitting device 300. Therefore, the light-emitting device 300 described in this specification may have more or fewer components than those listed above.

[0082] More specifically, in the aforementioned components, the communication unit 310 may include one or more modules capable of wirelessly communicating with the console device 100, the transmitter 200, or a wireless communication terminal (e.g., a smartphone) (not shown) held by the audience. Furthermore, the communication unit 310 may include one or more modules for connecting the light-emitting device 300 to one or more networks.

[0083] The communication unit 310 can communicate with various types of external devices according to various communication methods. The communication unit 310 may include at least one of Wi-Fi chip, Bluetooth chip, wireless communication chip, NFC chip, and RFID chip.

[0084] According to the mobile communication technology described in this specification, wireless signals are transmitted and received between a base station, an external terminal, and an external server on a mobile communication network established according to technical standards or communication methods (e.g., Global System for Mobile communication, Code Division Multiple Access, Code Division Multiple Access 2000, Enhanced Voice-Data Optimized or Enhanced Voice-Data Only, Wideband Code Division Multiple Access, High Speed ​​Downlink Packet Access, High Speed ​​Uplink Packet Access, Long Term Evolution (LTE), Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A), etc.).

[0085] Furthermore, the wireless technologies used in this specification may include, for example, Wireless LAN (WLAN), Wi-Fi (Wireless-Fidelity), Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) Direct, Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA), Wireless Broadband (WiBro), World Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX), High Speed ​​Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA), High Speed ​​Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA), Long Term Evolution (LTE), and Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A).

[0086] Furthermore, the communication technology described in this specification may include Bluetooth.TM Radio Frequency Identification (RFID Bluetooth) TM The technology supports communication using at least one of the following technologies: RFID (Radio Frequency Identification), IrDA (Infrared Data Association), UWB (Ultra Wideband), ZigBee, NFC (Near Field Communication), Wi-Fi (Wireless-Fidelity), Wi-Fi Direct, Wireless Universal Serial Bus (Wireless USB), TTL (Transistor-Transistor Logic), USB, IEEE 1394, Ethernet, MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface), RS232, RS422, RS485, Optical Communication, and Coaxial Cable Communication.

[0087] Furthermore, the data generation apparatus (not shown), console device 100, main device (not shown), and transmitter 200 of the present invention can send and receive data with each other via wired communication (e.g., Ethernet).

[0088] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the memory 320 may be a local storage medium supporting various functions of the light-emitting device 300. The memory 320 may store multiple application programs (or applications) capable of driving the light-emitting device 300, data for the operation of the light-emitting device 300, and instructions. At least a portion of such application programs can be downloaded wirelessly from an external device (e.g., an external server). The application programs are stored in the memory 320 and mounted on the light-emitting device 300, thereby being driven by the processor 340 to perform the operation (or function) of the light-emitting device 300.

[0089] Furthermore, even if the power supply to the light-emitting device 300 is interrupted, the memory 320 of the present invention still needs to retain data, and in order to reflect changes, it can be configured as a writable non-volatile memory (WROM). That is, the memory 320 can be configured as one of flash memory, EPROM, or EEPROM. In this invention, for ease of explanation, the case where all instruction information is stored in one memory 320 is described, but it is not limited thereto, and the light-emitting device 300 can be equipped with multiple memories.

[0090] Furthermore, the light-emitting device 300 of the present invention can receive control-related information through the communication unit 310 and store it in the memory 320, so that the light-emitting device 300 can be controlled according to at least one of group control, image control and pixel control.

[0091] In this invention, control-related information may include information that must be stored in memory 320 for controlling the light-emitting device 300 according to at least one of group control, image control, and pixel control. For example, memory 320 may store scene-by-scene group information for group control, scene-by-scene pixel information for pixel control, scene-by-scene light-emitting information, and transmitter identification information, etc.

[0092] Furthermore, the memory 320 can also store seating information for the tickets held by the audience. As a large crowd gathers at the performance venue, specific lighting devices may not accurately store the control-related information for emitting light in a manner corresponding to the lighting pattern. In this case, the specific lighting device may need to be individually controlled in the control console 100 until the correct control-related information is received. The control console 100 can send control signals to control only the specific lighting device via the transmitter 200.

[0093] Furthermore, the seat information of the ticket stored in the memory 320 may include at least one of the following: seat information displayed on the ticket (e.g., seat number 1 in column A), position information of the corresponding seat in the performance venue (e.g., GPS information of the corresponding seat), and identification information of the corresponding seat (e.g., the seat located at the top left of the 50,000 seats when generating the performance data is "number 1").

[0094] The control-related information can be input into the light-emitting device 300 during the production process, or it can be input through an application set in the terminal (e.g., smartphone, tablet computer, PC) of the audience holding the light-emitting device 300 before or after entering the performance venue.

[0095] Audience members can electrically connect their own terminals to the light-emitting device, and download control-related information for the performance from an external server through an application installed on the terminal, storing it in the memory 320. This electrical connection can be achieved through near-field wireless communication or a physical connection between the terminal and the light-emitting device 300.

[0096] Furthermore, as an embodiment, the control-related information can also be input during the ticket confirmation process before entry. Specifically, audience members can perform a performance ticket confirmation step before entering the performance venue. In this case, performance staff can manually input the seating information included on the ticket directly into the luminous device 300, or receive the seating information included on the ticket using an information confirmation device (not shown) with OCR or electronic code reading functions, and provide the control-related information related to the location information corresponding to the seating information to the luminous device 300 and store it in the memory 320. In this case, the location information can be the location information of each seat in the performance venue. Furthermore, the information confirmation device can provide the luminous device 300 with the control-related information related to the location information through real-time communication between the performance venue and an external server (not shown), or it can pre-store the control-related information related to the location information during the performance planning process and provide it to the luminous device 300 during the performance venue.

[0097] Furthermore, the information confirmation device may include an electronic device such as a self-service terminal (kiosk) (not shown). In this case, the audience can directly confirm their performance ticket through the self-service terminal. The self-service terminal receives electronic code information included on the ticket (in other words, information read via barcode, QR code, RFID, NFC, etc.), and provides the location-related control information corresponding to the electronic code information to the light-emitting device 300, and stores it in the memory 320. In this case, the self-service terminal can communicate with an external server (not shown) or pre-store the location-related control information during the performance planning process.

[0098] Here, the aforementioned control-related information may be information included in the performance data of the public performance.

[0099] The light-emitting unit 330 may include one or more light-emitting elements, such as light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Furthermore, the light-emitting unit 330 can utilize the light-emitting elements to output light of various colors based on RGB color information.

[0100] The operation of the control console device 100 and processor 340 used for performances will be described below.

[0101] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the console device 100 can generate and transmit at least one light control signal including data on light-related operations defined according to the performance scene.

[0102] The control console device 100 can generate a light-emitting control signal corresponding to the corresponding performance time as a performance is performed at the performance venue, based on the performance data of each performance scene in the performance area.

[0103] If the control console device 100 controls the light-emitting device 300 through group control, the control console device 100 can generate a light-emitting control signal for group control.

[0104] The data generation device can map multiple groups of information generated separately for each performance segment (performance venue) to seating information within the audience, and construct performance data for each performance segment using the mapped information. For example, as shown in Table 1 below, the data generation device can construct performance data mapped with multiple groups of information corresponding to the performance information for each segment. Here, group information refers to group-based control information used to control the lighting devices 300 in groups corresponding to each performance venue in each performance segment. The group-based control information may include group allocation information (i.e., group identification information) and correspondingly set lighting status information. That is, lighting devices 300 with the same group allocation information in each performance segment may include the same lighting status information for each other. Furthermore, lighting devices 300 with the same group allocation information may be different for each performance segment. For example, a lighting device with group allocation information A in the first performance segment (first performance venue) may be set to group allocation information B in the second performance segment (second performance venue). In other words, the light-emitting devices belonging to Group A in the first performance area (the first performance scene) and the light-emitting devices belonging to Group A in the second performance area (the second performance scene) can be different from each other.

[0105] [Table 1]

[0106]

[0107] The control console device 100 can use the performance data described above to control the light-emitting devices 300 arranged corresponding to each seat in the performance venue, and can generate light-emitting control signals for such control. In an embodiment, the light-emitting devices 300 can store group information about which group each light-emitting device 300 belongs to in advance, on a scene-by-scene basis, before the performance. In this case, light-emitting state information (e.g., color information using RGB, etc.) can be excluded from the pre-stored information. Group information can refer to a bundle of light-emitting devices 300 that are controlled to the same color at a specific moment or scene. That is, group information can be assigned so that multiple light-emitting devices 300 that are controlled to the same color together in a specific scene have the same group information, and information about what color the corresponding group is controlled to can be excluded.

[0108] Therefore, in the light-emitting device 300, the allocated grouped light-emitting state information (e.g., color information) can be kept as empty data, or only dummy data or temporary color information can be recorded. That is, the color information of the actual group can be transmitted in real time while the actual performance is being conducted.

[0109] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the light-emitting device 300 can receive control-related information for group control through an application program (or application) set on the information confirmation device or the terminal held by the audience during the ticket confirmation step.

[0110] The light-emitting device 300 that receives control-related information can receive group information mapped to its own audience seating position information according to the performance interval through the communication unit 310, thereby forming the group data shown in Table 2 below.

[0111] [Table 2]

[0112]

[0113] Table 2 may be exemplary data on group information for a specific lighting device 300 according to the performance scene. This lighting device 300 belongs to group A in the first scene, and therefore can be controlled in the same way as other cheering lighting devices belonging to group A. Furthermore, when the scene transitions to the second scene, it can be controlled as group C.

[0114] In several other embodiments, the group allocation information pre-stored in the light-emitting device 300 can also be imported and applied to the entire audience seating area of ​​the performance venue using a virtual coordinate system, thereby defining the entire audience seating area as a specific coordinate range. A single audience seat can have a specific xy coordinate value, or multiple adjacent audience seats can have the same xy coordinate value. Furthermore, in addition to the commonly used xy coordinate system, other types of coordinate systems can be introduced to specify the position of the audience seats.

[0115] As described above, when some or all of the group allocation information for individual lighting devices is pre-stored as coordinate information, the performance mapping data transmitted in real-time at the performance venue can include control signals that cause lighting devices belonging to the corresponding coordinate value range to emit a specific color based on one or more specific coordinate values ​​or specific coordinate ranges. That is, when group allocation information and group emission color information are mapped to each other to form performance mapping data, coordinate values ​​or coordinate ranges can be provided instead of group allocation information. In this case, the lighting devices can receive the performance mapping data during the performance and determine whether they are included in the specific group allocation information based on their own coordinate values, and emit light in the matching color accordingly. When group information based on a coordinate system set for the entire audience seats of the performance venue is pre-stored in the lighting devices, impromptu audience lighting performances can be achieved even with only small-scale data transmission. That is, in order to make only cheering sticks in a specific coordinate range emit a predetermined color, performance mapping data can be generated or modified and sent (broadcast), thereby enabling variable audience lighting performances.

[0116] For example, if all the audience seats in the performance venue are defined as an xy coordinate system, and predetermined xy coordinates are pre-assigned to each light-emitting device in a specific performance area, during the real-time performance, if performance mapping data is transmitted when the corresponding performance area is reached, and the data is set to emit red (255,0,0) light within a specific coordinate range (e.g., from {10,10} to {20,15}), then the multiple light-emitting devices receiving the performance mapping data will determine whether they belong to the range from {10,10} to {20,15} based on their assigned coordinate information. If they belong to the range, they can emit red light.

[0117] According to one embodiment of the present invention, when the light-emitting device 300 is controlled by pixel control, a light-emitting control signal for pixel control can be generated.

[0118] The data generation device can map multiple pixel information generated separately for each performance segment (performance scene) to seating information within the audience, and construct performance data for each performance segment using the mapped information. Furthermore, the data generation device can map color palette information specifying the emission color (RGB value) of each pixel for each scene to the pixels, and construct performance data for each performance segment using the mapped information.

[0119] Before a performance, the light-emitting device 300 can store pixel information about which pixel each light-emitting device 300 belongs to in advance in the memory 320 according to the scene. Then, upon receiving a light-emitting control signal, the light-emitting device 300 can confirm the pixel to which it belongs and emit light based on the palette information corresponding to the pixel included in the light-emitting control signal.

[0120] The control console 100 can generate at least one lighting control signal, including data related to lighting operations defined according to the performance scene, based on the control method of the aforementioned lighting device 300, and transmit it to the transmitter 200. At this time, the transmitter 200 needs to send different or the same lighting control signals to each other.

[0121] Specifically, the control console device 100 can transmit the same or different light emission control signals to the transmitter 200 according to the control method (group control, pixel control, image control) of the sets 400 and the performance scene. For example, when controlling sets 400a by group control, sets 400b by image control, and sets 400n by pixel control, the control console device 100 sends different light emission control signals to the transmitter 200, including information on each control method and light emission pattern. Furthermore, even when using the same control method, if different performance scenes are achieved in each set, the control console device 100 can send different light emission control signals to the transmitter 200.

[0122] Furthermore, the control console device 100 can send the at least one light-emitting control signal, and can send the light-emitting control signal by including the identification information of the transmitter to which the corresponding light-emitting control signal is to be sent. Therefore, the processor 340 can compare the transmitter identification information stored in the memory 320 with the transmitter identification information included in the received light-emitting control signal. If they are the same, the processor 340 can control the light-emitting unit 330 to emit light according to the light-emitting related data included in the received light-emitting control signal. In this case, the identification information of the transmitter 200 can be included in the light-emitting control signal by the control console device 100, or it can be included in the light-emitting control signal by the transmitter 200 when the transmitter 200 sends the light-emitting control signal to the light-emitting device 300.

[0123] The light-emitting device 300 can receive a light-emitting control signal from a transmitter 200 that has identification information corresponding to the identification information of the transmitter pre-stored in itself.

[0124] As described above, transmitter 200 can be directional, and performance planners can arrange transmitter 200 in the performance planning process according to the specifications of the transmitters used in the corresponding performance. However, due to the physical and technical limitations of transmitter 200, lighting devices located in some seats may receive all lighting control signals transmitted by different transmitters. More specifically, since lighting devices located in said seats may repeatedly receive different lighting control signals from two or more transmitters, it may be difficult for the lighting device to determine which lighting control signal corresponds to when emitting light. Therefore, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the lighting device can accurately determine the lighting control signal corresponding to itself within a limited wireless bandwidth. Furthermore, the control console device 100 can transmit lighting control signals to each transmitter 200 to greatly reduce the impact of noise, thereby achieving a performance effect different from previous performances.

[0125] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the transmitter 200 can repeatedly send a light-emitting control signal to the light-emitting device 300 a predetermined number of times. Typically, the signal sent (broadcast) by the transmitter 200 is only a one-time event in most cases. However, a performance venue is a place where many signals with different bandwidths coexist, and signals other than the light-emitting control signal can become noise during the performance. This noise may prevent the light-emitting control signal from being accurately transmitted to the light-emitting device 300. Therefore, the transmitter 200 sends the light-emitting control signal to the light-emitting device 300 a predetermined number of times (e.g., each light-emitting control signal is sent 5 times), thereby ensuring that the light-emitting device 300 can receive the light-emitting control signal normally.

[0126] At this time, the light-emitting device 300 may receive the same light-emitting control signal multiple times and perform repetitive light-emitting operations. To prevent this, each light-emitting control signal may include a Frame Sequence Number (FSN). The FSN serves to inform the light-emitting device 300 of the sequence of transmitted data (specifically, data packets indicating the light-emitting pattern). Whenever the performance scene changes, the FSN may, for example, have a value increased by 1. If the light-emitting device receives a light-emitting control signal with the same FSN as a previously received light-emitting control signal, the corresponding light-emitting device can identify the corresponding light-emitting control signal as a previously received light-emitting control signal and ignore it.

[0127] According to one embodiment of the present invention, each transmitter 200 may use different wireless frequency bandwidths (channels) from each other. Thus, the light emission control signals transmitted from each transmitter 200 may have different wireless bandwidths from each other. The processor 340 may compare the transmitter identification information stored in the memory 320 with the transmitter identification information included in the received light emission control signals at each predetermined time unit (e.g., minute or hour) or whenever an event occurs (e.g., playing the next song or a viewer returning after leaving their seat). If they match, only the light emission control signal received via the wireless bandwidth transmitted by the corresponding transmitter can be received.

[0128] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the memory 320 can store the identification information of the transmitter 200 and the wireless bandwidth to be used by the transmitter 200 as a list. Specifically, the light-emitting device 300 can store the identification information of the transmitter 200 used in the corresponding performance and the wireless bandwidth to be used by the transmitter 200 in the memory 320 in the same list form. If a light-emitting control signal including identification information consistent with the identification information of the transmitter stored in the memory 320 is not received, or if the received light-emitting control signal is not of an appropriate wireless signal level, the light-emitting device 300 needs to scan the entire wireless bandwidth (channel) in order to receive the light-emitting control signal. Specifically, if the light-emitting control signal received through a specific wireless bandwidth does not include the identification information of the transmitter stored in the memory 320, the processor 340 needs to scan the entire wireless bandwidth (channel) to find the wireless bandwidth that transmits the light-emitting control signal including the identification information of the transmitter stored in the memory 320. Therefore, by storing the list, the processor 340 can perform a scan of the channel locally (selectively) with reference to the list to receive the identification information of the transmitter and the wireless bandwidth transmitted by the transmitter. Therefore, the processor 340 can quickly identify the wireless bandwidth it needs to receive.

[0129] According to one embodiment of the present invention, depending on the conditions of the performance venue, the control console device 100 may also need to control the lighting devices 300 using the same lighting control signal. For example, during the ticket confirmation process, if a considerable number of lighting devices 300 fail to accurately receive control-related information, even if different lighting control signals are transmitted to each transmitter 200, the lighting devices 300 may not emit light as intended by the performance planner. Alternatively, in the case of a small-scale performance venue, the individual transmitters 200 may not need to send different lighting control signals. In this case, the performance planner needs to be able to control the lighting devices 300 using the control console device 100 based on the same lighting control signal.

[0130] Therefore, the control console device 100 sends a general light-emitting control signal to the light-emitting device 300 via the transmitter 200, so that the light-emitting device 300 can execute the light-emitting related operations within all received light-emitting control signals. Upon receiving the general light-emitting control signal, the light-emitting device 300 can execute the light-emitting related operations within all received light-emitting control signals regardless of the transmitter identification value pre-stored in the memory 320. Here, the general light-emitting control signal can be information transmitted identically to all transmitters 200.

[0131] Furthermore, the general-purpose light emission control signal can be transmitted via transmitter 200, or via a transmitter independent of transmitter 200 (e.g., a transmitter with identification information "0"). In the case of transmitting the general-purpose light emission control signal from the independent transmitter, the signal may include transmitter identification information such as "0" that is not pre-set in the corresponding performance. As an embodiment, the unpre-set transmitter identification information may be identification information not stored in a list format in memory 320.

[0132] Furthermore, the performance identification information with a specific value in the performance identification information described later can also be included in the light emission control signal, thereby allowing the light emission device 300 to determine the received light emission control signal as a general light emission control signal. As one embodiment, the general light emission control signal may include performance identification information with a value of "0". Therefore, upon receiving a light emission control signal including performance identification information with a value of "0", the light emission device 300 can determine the corresponding light emission control signal as a general light emission control signal.

[0133] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the control console device 100 can generate and transmit a correction command signal that corrects the identification information of the transmitter stored in the light-emitting device 300. During the ticket confirmation process, if the light-emitting devices included in a portion of the set 400 are not input with accurate control-related information, the corresponding light-emitting devices may not emit light as intended by the performance planner. For example, among the light-emitting devices included in a portion of the set, identification information of a transmitter not used in the corresponding performance may be input, or identification information of a transmitter responsible for another set that is not responsible for the transmitter of said light-emitting device may be input.

[0134] In this case, the console device 100 can generate and transmit a correction command signal to correct the transmitter identification information stored in the light-emitting device 300, thereby correcting the incorrectly stored transmitter identification information. Furthermore, the correction command signal may include the identification information of a specific receiver. Here, the identification information of a specific receiver may be the identification information of the transmitter in the corresponding light-emitting device that should be stored during the ticket confirmation step according to the performance planner's intention.

[0135] Therefore, the light-emitting device that receives the correction command signal can perform the operation of replacing the identification information of the transmitter currently stored in the memory with the identification information of the specific transmitter in order to identify the light-emitting control signal of the specific transmitter.

[0136] Furthermore, similar to the general illumination control signal, the correction command signal can be transmitted via transmitter 200, or via a transmitter independent of transmitter 200 (e.g., a transmitter with identification information "0"). In the case of transmitting the correction command signal from the independent transmitter, the correction command signal may include identification information such as "0" that is not pre-set for the corresponding transmitter. As an embodiment, the unpre-set identification information for the transmitter may be identification information not stored in a list format in memory 320.

[0137] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the control console device 100 can generate and transmit a light-emitting control signal including identification information of the light-emitting device 300. In this invention, the identification information of the light-emitting device 300 may be artist-distinguishing information associated with a specific artist (singer or idol group). Typically, cheering sticks are produced differently for each artist, and in the case of multiple artists performing together (such as a joint performance), audience members entering the performance venue can cheer for different artists. Therefore, in the case of multiple artists performing sequentially, the performance organizer only needs to control the light-emitting devices held by audience members supporting the respective artists.

[0138] In this scenario, the performance planner can generate a light control signal, including identification information of the light-emitting devices associated with the currently performing artist, via the control console device 100, and transmit it to the light-emitting device 300. The light-emitting device 300 can compare the identification information of the light-emitting device included in the light control signal with the identification information of the light-emitting device 300 stored in the memory 320. If they match, it can emit light in a manner corresponding to the light pattern included in the corresponding light control signal. The identification information of the light-emitting devices associated with the currently performing artist can be mapped onto the performance scene in the form of performance data and stored in the control console device 100, or it can be included in the light control signal and transmitted by the performance planner during the performance.

[0139] Furthermore, when multiple artists perform simultaneously (e.g., appearing on stage together as a duet) rather than performing sequentially, the control console device 100 can also include identification information of all light-emitting devices associated with the artists performing simultaneously in the light-emitting control signal and transmit it.

[0140] The identification information of the light-emitting device 300 can be stored in the memory 320 through the application of the audience's terminal during the production process of the light-emitting device 300, the ticket confirmation process, or before the start of the performance. Alternatively, the identification information of the light-emitting device 300 can be provided to the purchased light-emitting device in advance via the network from an external server or the audience's terminal application after the audience has purchased the light-emitting device, and stored in the memory 320.

[0141] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the control console device 100 may further include and transmit operators and operation coefficients related to the identification information of the light-emitting device 300. The operators may be logical operators such as AND, OR, XOR, etc., or arithmetic operators such as +, -, etc. Therefore, the processor 340 of the light-emitting device 300, which receives the operators and operation coefficients, can determine whether the identification information of the light-emitting device 300 stored in the memory 320 is included in the controlled object through calculation (operation). At this time, the reference identification information, which serves as the basis for the operation, may be pre-stored in the memory (not shown) of the transmitter 200, and may be included in the light-emitting control signal and transmitted. As one embodiment, the reference identification information may be included in the light-emitting control signal and transmitted through the transmitter 200 via the control console device 100, the main device, or the transmitter 200.

[0142] For example, when the identification information of the light-emitting device associated with artist A is 0xE86 and 0xE87, and the identification information of the light-emitting device associated with artist B is 0xE88, the transmitter 200 sends a light-emitting control signal including the reference identification information "0xE86", the operator "+", and the operation coefficient "2", thereby controlling the light-emitting device with one of the identification information 0xE86, 0xE87, and 0xE88. The processor of the light-emitting device with the identification information 0xE87 can perform calculations based on the received operator and operation coefficient, and the light-emitting devices with the identification information 0xE86, 0xE87, and 0xE88 become light-emitting objects. The processor determines that the light-emitting device with the identification information 0xE87 also becomes a light-emitting object. Therefore, the corresponding light-emitting device can emit light in a manner corresponding to the light-emitting pattern included in the light-emitting control signal. Thus, even for light-emitting devices associated with different artists and / or light-emitting devices associated with the same artist, the performance planner can effectively control light-emitting devices with different versions within a limited wireless bandwidth.

[0143] Furthermore, in the case of a joint performance by multiple artists, light-emitting devices with different identification information can coexist in the performance venue. Light-emitting devices held by audience members supporting different artists can be located in the same set, and the performance planner may need to control only the light-emitting devices associated with the artists currently performing. In this case, the control console device 100 can transmit light-emitting control signals including operators and operation coefficients, as well as a command to change the reference identification information, to the transmitter 200. For example, if the identification information of the light-emitting device associated with artist A is 0xE86, the identification information of the light-emitting device associated with artist B is 0xE87, the identification information of the light-emitting device associated with artist C is 0xE88, and the reference identification information currently stored in the transmitter 200's memory (not shown) is 0xE86, the control console device 100 can transmit light-emitting control signals including the operator "+", the operation coefficient "2", and a command to change the reference identification information. Upon receiving the light emission control signal, the light emission device 300 can calculate, based on the received operator and operation coefficients, to determine the reference identification information that will form the basis of the operation (calculation) as 0xE88. However, the control console device 100 may also transmit the modified reference identification information itself (e.g., 0xE88).

[0144] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the console device 100 can transmit a command to change the reference identification information, and the host device can generate information for the operator and the operation coefficients and transmit it to the transmitter 200.

[0145] The reference identification information can be stored in memory 320 through the application of the audience's terminal during the production process of the light-emitting device 300, the ticket confirmation process, or before the start of the performance. Alternatively, the reference identification information can be provided to the purchased light-emitting device in advance via the network from an external server or the audience's terminal application after the audience has purchased the light-emitting device, and then stored in memory 320.

[0146] Furthermore, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the light-emitting device 300 can determine whether a preset condition is met based on operators and operational coefficients, thereby determining whether to emit light or the degree of light emission. Relatedly, the light-emitting device 300 can receive operation overview information related to the conditions of the light-emitting operation and determine whether to emit light or the degree of light emission based on the preset conditions stored in the memory 320. Here, the operation overview information may be a series of data that enables the light-emitting device 300 to determine whether the preset conditions are met.

[0147] For example, the preset conditions stored in memory 320 can be shown in Table 3 below.

[0148] [Table 3]

[0149]

[0150] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the console device 100 can generate a value within a predetermined range corresponding to operation overview information. The master device (not shown) can confirm information in the operation overview information that matches a value within the predetermined range, and can include the confirmed operation overview information in the light emission control signal and transmit it to the transmitter 200. For example, in the case where a value from 0 to 127 is generated from the console device 100 and transmitted to the master device, the master device can confirm that the transmitted value is a first value, and can include the operation overview information corresponding to the first value in the light emission control signal and transmit it to the transmitter 200.

[0151] According to the embodiment, the main device can be omitted, and the transmitter 200 can directly confirm the operation overview information and include it in the light emission control signal, and then send it to the light emission device 300.

[0152] The embodiments in Table 3 above are merely examples. The main device can change the data size to transmit operation overview information related to various conditions. Referring to Table 3, the operation overview information can have a total size of 7 bits, including the light emission operation (2 bits), the light emission operation when the light emission condition is not met (1 bit), the operator (2 bits), and the operation coefficient (2 bits). However, as the data allocated to the operation overview information increases, operation overview information related to various conditions can be generated and sent. Conversely, as the data allocated to the operation overview information decreases, the number of pre-set conditions may also decrease.

[0153] Referring to Table 3 above, when a specific light-emitting device receives a light-emitting control signal including operation overview information as a first value, the specific light-emitting device can compare the identification information of the light-emitting device included in the light-emitting control signal with the identification information of the specific light-emitting device stored in the memory. If they are the same, the specific light-emitting device can emit light in a manner corresponding to the light-emitting pattern included in the corresponding light-emitting control signal. Conversely, if they are different, the specific light-emitting device can emit light using a light-emitting pattern pre-stored in the memory. In this case, the pre-stored light-emitting pattern can be stored in the memory during the ticket confirmation process or through the application of a terminal held by the audience before the start of the performance.

[0154] Similar to the embodiment with the first value, when a specific light-emitting device receives a light-emitting control signal that includes operation overview information as a second value, the operator "+", and the operation coefficient "2", and the calculation result indicates that the identification information of the specific light-emitting device is not included in the identification information of a portion of the light-emitting devices, the specific light-emitting device can emit light in a manner corresponding to the light-emitting pattern included in the corresponding light-emitting control signal. For example, if the identification information of the specific light-emitting device is 0xE89 and the reference identification information included in the light-emitting control signal is 0xE86, the calculation result indicates that the identification information of the light-emitting devices included in a portion of the light-emitting devices is 0xE86, 0xE87, and 0xE88. Therefore, since the identification information of the specific light-emitting device is not included in 0xE86, 0xE87, and 0xE88 (i.e., the condition is met), the specific light-emitting device can emit light in a manner corresponding to the light-emitting pattern included in the corresponding light-emitting control signal.

[0155] Furthermore, similar to the second-value embodiment, when a specific light-emitting device receives a light-emitting control signal that includes operation summary information as a third value, the operator "-", and the operation coefficient "3", and the calculation result shows that the identification information of the specific light-emitting device is included in the identification information of a portion of the light-emitting devices, the specific light-emitting device can emit light in a manner corresponding to the light-emitting pattern included in the corresponding light-emitting control signal. For example, if the identification information of the light-emitting device stored in the memory of the specific light-emitting device is 0xE89 and the reference identification information included in the light-emitting control signal is 0xE86, the calculation result shows that the identification information of the light-emitting devices included in a portion of the light-emitting devices is 0xE86, 0xE87, 0xE88, and 0xE89. Therefore, since the identification information of the specific light-emitting device is included in 0xE86, 0xE87, 0xE88, and 0xE89 (i.e., the condition is met), the specific light-emitting device can emit light in a manner corresponding to the light-emitting pattern included in the corresponding light-emitting control signal. Furthermore, if the identification information of a specific light-emitting device is not included in the identification information of a portion of the light-emitting devices, the specific light-emitting device may emit light at a brightness of 50% compared to the brightness of the light-emitting pattern included in the corresponding light-emitting control signal.

[0156] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the operation overview information may include the following: Figure 5 The operator and coefficient information are sent as described.

[0157] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the control console device 100 can transmit a light-emitting control signal including performance identification information. In the present invention, the performance identification information may refer to information about a performance offered at the corresponding performance venue on that day. For example, the performance identification information is a value of a natural number such as "0", "1" or "2", which may be different or the same depending on each performance.

[0158] Furthermore, the performance identification information may also include at least one of the following: the artist's affiliated company, the performance management company, the performance date, and the number of performances. Here, the number of performances may represent the actual number of performances or the number of performances controlled by the lighting device 300. As an example, if the corresponding performance is the 10th performance and the 9th performance controlled by the lighting device 300, the number of performances may be 9. When an artist performs for several days, a considerable number of audience members may watch multiple performances to support the artist. In this case, since most audience members do not watch the performances from the same seats every time, if the control device 100 transmits the same lighting control signals based on the performance scene as previous performances without distinguishing information such as performance dates or the number of performances, the performance effect intended by the performance planner may not be achieved.

[0159] Furthermore, if performances are taking place in other venues located near the primary performance venue, and these other venues are transmitting and receiving control signals based on the same protocol as the primary performance venue, some of the lighting devices may also react to lighting control signals transmitted from these other venues. This is not the performance effect intended by the event planner.

[0160] Therefore, the console device 100 can transmit a light-emitting control signal including performance identification information for the corresponding performance, and the processor 340 can compare the performance identification information stored in the memory 320 with the received performance identification information. If they are the same, the light-emitting unit 330 is controlled to emit light according to the light-emitting related data included in the received light-emitting control signal. In this case, other performance identification information can be stored in the memory 320 through the application of the terminal held by the audience during the ticket confirmation step or before the start of the performance.

[0161] Furthermore, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the main device of the non-control console device 100 can generate the above-mentioned correction command signal, access code change command signal and wireless bandwidth (channel) change command signal and transmit them to the transmitter 200.

[0162] In order to receive a light-emitting device 300 that receives a command signal for changing the wireless bandwidth (channel), it needs to perform a wireless bandwidth (channel) scanning operation again.

[0163] Furthermore, the master device can also generate a command signal to change the reference identification information and transmit it to the transmitter 200. In this invention, when transmitting the command signal to change the reference identification information of the master device, the transmitter 200 can store the reference identification information after the reference identification information stored in the transmitter's memory (not shown) has been changed.

[0164] Figure 5 This is a diagram illustrating an example of a light emission control signal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0165] The control console device 100 can generate light control signals corresponding to the performance scenes of each scene in the corresponding performance area based on the performance data, and transmit the generated control signals to the transmitter 200.

[0166] Reference Figure 5 The control console device 100 can send the generated light-emitting control signal in the form of data packets, distinguished by packets. As one embodiment, the data packet can be composed of an access code, a header, and a payload. In this case, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the control console device 100 can transmit a light emission control signal by including at least one of the aforementioned FSN, reference identification information, operators, operational coefficients, performance identification information, transmitter 200 identification information, and light emission pattern in the payload 510 portion. Furthermore, the transmitter 200 identification information and information regarding the light emission pattern may be mandatory information included in the information included in the payload 510. Additionally, the control console device 100 may also include the vibration value of the light emission device 300 in the payload 510.

[0167] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the light-emitting pattern of the payload 510 may include the control mode of the light-emitting device 300 and related information for controlling it in the control mode. For example, when the control mode is group control, the light-emitting pattern of the payload 510 may include information indicating that the current control mode is group control and the current performance scene.

[0168] Figure 6 This is a flowchart illustrating a performance process according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0169] Each step of the performance method of the present invention can be performed by a performance system including a control console device 100, a transmitter 200 and a light-emitting device 300.

[0170] The following is for reference Figure 6 The performance method based on the console device 100, transmitter 200 and light-emitting device 300 will be described in detail.

[0171] The embodiments described for the console device 100, transmitter 200, and light-emitting device 300 can be applied at least partially or entirely to the performance method. Conversely, the embodiments described for the performance method can be applied at least partially or entirely to the embodiments for the console device 100, transmitter 200, and light-emitting device 300. Furthermore, the performance method according to the disclosed embodiments is executed using the console device 100, transmitter 200, and light-emitting device 300 disclosed in this specification, but its embodiments are not limited thereto and can be executed using various types of electronic devices.

[0172] First, the control console device 100 can generate lighting control signals according to the performance scene based on the stored performance data (S610).

[0173] The performance data can be generated by a data generation device or an external server during the performance planning process and provided to the control console device 100 for storage. Alternatively, the control console device 100 can receive the performance data in real time during the performance and generate corresponding lighting control signals.

[0174] Next, the console device 100 can transmit the light emission control signal to the transmitter 200 (S620).

[0175] The control console device 100 can transmit the light emission control signals to be sent by each transmitter to the transmitter 200. At this time, the light emission control signals transmitted to each transmitter can be the same, or they can be different for each transmitter.

[0176] Next, the transmitter 200 can send the light emission control signal to the light emission device 300 (S630).

[0177] Next, the light-emitting device 300 can receive the light-emitting control signal from the transmitter 200, and can compare the identification information of the transmitter 200 included in the light-emitting control signal with the identification information of the transmitter stored in the memory 320, thereby confirming the identification information of the transmitter (S640).

[0178] Each transmitter 200 is directional, and the performance planner can arrange the transmitters 200 according to the specifications of the transmitters used in the corresponding performance during the performance planning process. Therefore, the light-emitting device 300 can receive light-emitting control signals from the transmitters 200 that have identification information corresponding to the identification information of the transmitters pre-stored in themselves.

[0179] Finally, the light-emitting device 300 can compare the identification information of the transmitter stored in the memory 320 with the identification information of the transmitter 200 included in the received light-emitting control signal. If they are the same, it can emit light according to the light-emitting pattern included in the received light-emitting control signal (S650).

[0180] Various embodiments of the present invention can be implemented by software including one or more instructions stored in a machine-readable storage medium (e.g., memory). For example, a processor of the device (e.g., processor 130, 340) can invoke and execute at least one of the more than one instructions stored in the storage medium. This enables the device to operate to perform at least one function according to the invoked at least one instruction. The more than one instruction may include code generated by a compiler or code executable by an interpreter. The machine-readable storage medium may be provided in the form of a non-transitory storage medium. Here, "non-transitory storage medium" refers to a tangible device and only means that it does not include signals (e.g., electromagnetic waves). This term does not distinguish between cases where data is stored semi-permanently in the storage medium and cases where data is temporarily stored in the storage medium. For example, a "non-transitory storage medium" may include a buffer for temporarily storing data.

[0181] According to one embodiment, the methods disclosed in this specification according to various embodiments may be provided as a computer program product. The computer program product may be traded as a commodity between a seller and a buyer. The computer program product may be distributed in the form of a device-readable storage medium (e.g., a compact disc read-only memory) or through an app store (e.g., the Play Store). TM Alternatively, it can be distributed online directly between two user devices (e.g., smartphones) (e.g., downloaded or uploaded). In the case of online distribution, at least a portion of the computer program product (e.g., a downloadable app) may be temporarily stored on a device-readable storage medium such as the memory of a manufacturer's server, an app store server, or a relay server, or may be temporarily generated. Embodiments of the invention have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but those skilled in the art will understand that it can be implemented in other specific forms without changing the technical concept or essential features of the invention. Therefore, the embodiments described above should be understood as exemplary in all respects, not limiting.
