Description

A lighting device, and a method and system for controlling the lighting device.

[0001] Cross-references to related applications

[0002] This application claims priority to Korean Patent Application No. 10-2022-0081748, filed on July 4, 2022, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0003] This disclosure relates to a lighting device and a method and system for controlling the lighting device. Specifically, it relates to a lighting device and a method and system for controlling the lighting device, which generates a library and / or scenes for controlling the light emission of the lighting device, and performs light emission control of multiple lighting devices based on the generated library and / or scenes. Background Technology

[0004] Generally speaking, in spaces where large numbers of people gather, such as theaters, concert halls, and / or art galleries, designated lighting devices can be installed to guide performances, indicate movement within the space, or provide aesthetic support.

[0005] Here, the lighting device may refer to a device that is carried or provided to an individual and emits light in various modes.

[0006] The lighting device may be carried by users watching the performance, concert and / or exhibition, or fixed to each seat in the space specified above.

[0007] In particular, the lighting fixtures provided to each person can operate in different ways within the space according to a specific location or individual needs. In recent years, the use of controlling the illumination of multiple lighting fixtures has been adopted in various fields in order to achieve a pre-planned performance of specific shapes or patterns in a large area within a space where multiple lighting fixtures are arranged.

[0008] To achieve such a performance, a control message must be sent to each lighting fixture to instruct it to operate in a different lighting mode. However, sending different control information to a large number of lighting fixtures one by one can lead to communication overload or synchronization errors.

[0009] In order to make a large number of lighting devices arranged in a large space operate in a unified manner according to different light emission modes, it is necessary to control the corresponding lighting devices to operate simultaneously at accurate times, but at present there is a lack of technological development to support this operation mode.

[0010] In addition, in the prior art, to control the light-emitting action of the aforementioned lighting device, a library containing data that presets the lighting device to operate in a specific light-emitting mode is created. Alternatively, a scenario is created that uses combinations or individual light-emitting modes set in the aforementioned library to control the light-emitting action of the lighting device within a predetermined time.

[0011] However, in the existing technical field, once a library and / or scene is created, the attributes of the corresponding illumination mode (e.g., whether it emits light, color, brightness, and / or dynamic effects) cannot be changed later; it can only be used as is. Furthermore, if any changes are needed to an existing library or scene, a new library and / or a new scene must be created from scratch.

[0012] Furthermore, this necessitates creating and storing the same number of libraries and / or scenes as the required illumination patterns, leading to additional problems such as data overflow and memory inefficiency. Therefore, it is necessary to develop and introduce new technologies to address these issues. Summary of the Invention

[0013] The purpose of this disclosure is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art by providing a lighting device and a method and system for controlling the lighting device, which generates a library and / or scene for controlling the light emission of the lighting device, and performs light emission control of multiple lighting devices based on the generated library and / or scene.

[0015] Additionally, a lighting device and a method and system for controlling the lighting device are provided, which improve the efficiency and integrity of different lighting devices operating in a unified manner according to their customized light emission modes, thereby achieving a specific shape performance effect as a whole (in the embodiment, integrated lighting control performance effect).

[0016] Additionally, a lighting device and a method and system for controlling the lighting device are provided, which realize data communication between components within the lighting device control system based on a communication method optimized for the overall lighting control performance effect.

[0039] According to the lighting device and the method and system for controlling the lighting device according to the embodiments of this disclosure, a library and / or scene for controlling the light emission of the lighting device is generated, and the light emission control of multiple lighting devices is performed based on the generated library and / or scene. Therefore, customized light emission actions for multiple lighting devices with various seating arrangements and distributions in a performance venue can be executed conveniently, quickly, and accurately in a unified manner.

[0040] Furthermore, according to the lighting device and the method and system for controlling the lighting device according to the embodiments of this disclosure, the illumination control of multiple lighting devices based on the library and / or scene can be performed, thereby enabling different lighting devices to operate in a unified manner according to their own customized illumination modes, thereby achieving a specific shape performance effect as a whole (in the embodiments, the integrated lighting control performance effect).

[0041] Furthermore, the lighting device and the method and system for controlling the lighting device according to embodiments of this disclosure can enhance the reusability of the library and / or scene.

[0119] As an example, the central server 200 can provide an environment for application 111 to be executed on an external device (e.g., a mobile computing device and / or a desktop computing device).

Meanwhile, the performance preparation data may refer to data that needs to be pre-stored in the lighting device 300 before the performance begins.

[0129] Additionally, in this embodiment, the central server 200 may publish the generated performance preparation data.

[0130] Specifically, in this embodiment, the central server 200 can be linked with terminals 100 (in this embodiment, director terminal 100-1 and / or cheering stick terminal 100-2) to publish the performance preparation data to multiple lighting devices 300.

[0131] In addition, in this embodiment, the central server 200 can send lighting control signals to multiple lighting devices 300 to achieve integrated lighting control performance effects.

[0132] Here, the lighting device control signal according to the embodiment refers to a signal that commands the execution / termination / end of at least one library and / or scene stored in the performance preparation data of the lighting device 300.

[0133] In this embodiment, the central server 200 can be linked with at least one repeater to smoothly send lighting control signals to multiple lighting devices 300.

[0134] Here, each of the at least one repeaters according to the embodiment can send a specified data packet (in the embodiment, a lighting control signal) to the lighting device 300 adjacent to itself in a broadcast manner.

[0135] For reference, the broadcast method refers to a one-to-many communication method that transmits specified data to the entire network to which the host belongs without specifying a recipient.

[0136] The at least one repeater that performs data transmission based on the broadcast method may be directly included in the central server 200 or implemented as a separate device independent of the central server 200 to perform the functional actions.

[0137] In the following description, the at least one repeater is included in the central server 200 as an example, but this is not a limitation.

[0138] Additionally, in this embodiment, the central server 200 may store and manage various applications, instructions, and / or data used to implement lighting device control services.

[0142] In addition, the database module 230 may include a program area and a data area.

[0143] Here, according to the embodiment, the program area can be connected between the operating system (OS) and functional components of the boot server, while the data area can store data generated by the use of the server.

[0144] In this embodiment, the database module 230 may be various storage devices such as ROM, RAM, EPROM, flash drive, hard disk, etc. On the Internet, it may also include web storage that performs the storage function of the database 230.

[0145] Alternatively, the database module 230 can be a storage medium that can be detached and mounted on the server.

[0146] In addition, the processor module 210 can control the overall operation of the aforementioned units to provide lighting device control services.

[0147] The processor module 210 may be a system-on-a-chip (SoC) suitable for a server, including a central processing unit (CPU) and / or a graphics processing unit (GPU), and may execute an operating system (OS) and / or application programs stored in the database module 230, and may control the various components mounted on the server.

However, according to different embodiments, at least a portion of the functional actions performed on the central server 200 may be performed on an external device (e.g., terminal 100 and / or lighting device 300, etc.). Furthermore, there are various embodiments in which at least a portion of the functional actions performed on an external device may be performed on the central server 200.

[0151] ——Lighting device 300

[0152] In addition, the lighting device 300 according to the embodiments of this disclosure can perform a light-emitting action under the control of the lighting device control system 1000.

[0153] Here, the lighting device 300 according to the embodiment can refer to a device that is carried or provided to an individual and emits light in various modes. The lighting device 300 can be carried by users watching a performance in a designated space such as a performance venue, or fixed to each seat. Specifically, in the embodiment, the lighting device 300 can store and manage the performance preparation data.

[0154] Additionally, in this embodiment, the lighting device 300 may receive a lighting device control signal.

[0155] Additionally, in this embodiment, the lighting device 300 can perform a light-emitting action based on the received lighting device control signal and the stored performance preparation data.

[0156] Figure 3 is an internal block diagram of a lighting device 300 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0157] Specifically, referring to FIG3, the lighting device 300 according to the embodiment may include a first communication unit 310, a storage unit 320, a second communication unit 330, a protocol processing unit 340, a time adjustment unit 350, a light source unit 360, and a processor 370.

[0158] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first communication unit 310 can receive performance preparation data from the terminal 100. The first communication unit 310 may include a BLE module or a wireless communication module utilizing the IEEE 802.15.4 standard. However, without limitation, the first communication unit 310 can also receive performance preparation data via a wired connection. Additionally, in this embodiment, the storage unit 320 can store and manage the received performance preparation data, etc.

[0159] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the lighting device 300 can receive and save performance preparation data in advance at a location outside the performance venue (e.g., at home), or it can receive and save performance preparation data at the performance venue.

[0160] Additionally, in this embodiment, the second communication unit 330 may receive lighting device control signals from the central server 200 (and / or repeater).

[0161] At this time, the second communication unit 330 can use Bluetooth, BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy), WiFi, ZigBee, UWB and other RF (Radio Frequency) communication to send and receive data with the central server 200 (and / or repeater).

[0162] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the protocol processing unit 340 can determine the type of information received by the first communication unit 310 and / or the second communication unit 330. In this case, if the received information is a control message (i.e., a lighting device control signal in this embodiment), a retransmission data packet, or a synchronization data packet, the protocol processing unit 340 can transmit it to the time adjustment unit 350.

[0163] Next, the time adjustment unit 350 can adjust the operating time of the lighting device 300 based on the order of each control message contained in the received control message, retransmission data packet, or synchronization data.

[0164] In Figure 3, the time adjustment unit 350 is described as a separate configuration, but this is exemplary and may also be included in the configuration of the processor 370 according to different embodiments.

[0165] In addition, in the embodiment, the light source unit 360 can perform light-emitting actions such as emitting light of a specific color, flashing, or adjusting brightness, based on the information stored in the storage unit 320 and the control of the processor 370.

[0166] The light source 360 ​​may be composed of LEDs, but this is exemplary. As long as it is composed of a specific light-emitting material and can perform a specified light-emitting action, it is not limited to any form.

[0167] In addition, in this embodiment, the processor 370 can control the overall operation of the lighting device 300.

[0168] As an example, the processor 370 can control the light-emitting action of the light source unit 360 based on the performance preparation data stored in the storage unit 320 and the lighting device control information received through the second communication unit 330.

[0169] At this time, the processor 370 can determine whether to execute a certain library and / or scene from the performance preparation data based on the received lighting device control signal. That is, the processor 370 can determine whether to execute a specific library and / or scene from the prescribed library and / or scene by parsing the received lighting device control signal. Additionally, the processor 370 can control the light source unit 360 to emit light according to the determined library and / or scene.

[0170] In particular, in this embodiment, the processor 370 can read a light emission pattern corresponding to the identification information from the storage unit 320 based on a library and / or scene recognition information included in the lighting device control signal. Additionally, the processor 370 can control the light source unit 360 to output the read light emission pattern.

[0171] In addition, according to different embodiments, the lighting device 300 may also perform at least a portion of the functional actions performed in the aforementioned terminal 100 and / or central server 200.

[0172] Lighting control methods

[0173] The method of controlling the lighting device 300 by the effects application 111 executed by at least one processor of the director terminal 100-1 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to Figures 4 to 13.

[0174] In this embodiment of the disclosure, at least one processor of the director terminal 100-1 can execute or run in the background at least one effect application 111 stored in at least one memory 110.

[0175] The method of running the at least one processor to execute the instructions of the effect application 111 to provide the aforementioned lighting device control service will now be described in a simplified form, as executed by the effect application 111.

[0176] Figure 4 is a flowchart of a lighting device control method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0177] Referring to Figure 4, in the embodiment, at least one processor of the director terminal 100-1 executes or runs the effect application 111 in the background, which can generate a library (S101).

[0178] Here, the library mentioned in the embodiments of this disclosure refers to data preset for making the lighting device 300 operate in a specific light emission mode (i.e., a specific light emission form), and may include library identification information and light emission mode information.

[0179] Specifically, in an embodiment, the library may include identification information specifying the library (e.g., identification number and / or library name, etc.) and light emission mode information that provides the library with a preset specific light emission mode.

[0180] Here, the light emission mode information according to the embodiment may include whether the lighting device 300 emits light, its color, brightness, and / or dynamic effect parameters, and the lighting device 300 may be operated according to the parameter setting values ​​(hereinafter referred to as "light emission mode setting values").

[0181] In this embodiment, the dynamic effect can be data that dynamically changes the setting values ​​of other parameters within the luminous mode (in this embodiment, whether it emits light, color, and / or brightness) to achieve the specified effect.

[0182] For example, the dynamic effect may include setting the illumination of the lighting device 300 to be different at different times within a specified time period to create a flashing effect that flashes quickly; setting the illumination color to be different at different times to create a gradual change effect; and setting the illumination brightness to be different at different times to create a fade-in / fade-out effect that gradually darkens or brightens.

[0183] In an embodiment, effect application 111 can generate at least one or more of the aforementioned libraries.

[0184] For example, effect application 111 can generate multiple libraries, such as a first library with a library identification number and illumination mode information (illumination mode setting value) set to "Identification number 0001 / Illumination on / First color / First brightness / First dynamic effect", and a second library with a library identification number and illumination mode information (illumination mode setting value) set to "Identification number 0002 / Illumination on / Second color / Second brightness / Second dynamic effect". In this case, the illumination status / color / brightness of the libraries can be set to have different values ​​within a fixed time period.

[0185] Additionally, in an embodiment, effect application 111 may include each seat library in the library.

[0186] Here, according to the embodiment, each seat library can refer to a library within a specified space (e.g., a performance venue, etc.) where the lighting device 300 is to be arranged, and each library has the same corresponding library identification number but different lighting mode information based on the library.

[0187] In this embodiment, effect application 111 can generate a library including each seat library, wherein each seat library controls the lighting device 300 to operate in different light emission modes according to the seat position where the lighting device 300 is arranged.

[0188] For example, the effects application 111 can generate a first library including various seat libraries, wherein each seat library is a first library – first seat – first illumination mode information and a first library – second seat – second illumination mode information. That is, the effects application 111 can generate a first library based on various seat libraries, wherein each seat library assigns different values ​​to the illumination mode setting values ​​of the first library executed based on the illumination device 300 arranged in the first seat and the illumination mode setting values ​​of the first library executed based on the illumination device 300 arranged in the second seat.

[0189] Thus, when the effect application 111 is executed simultaneously with the first library set with different light emission modes for each seat, the lighting devices 300 arranged at each seat are made to operate in a unified manner with different light emission modes, so as to achieve the comprehensive lighting control performance effect using multiple lighting devices 300 in the corresponding space.

[0190] In this embodiment, the effect application 111 can realize different lighting devices 300 operating in a unified manner according to their own customized light emission modes based on the aforementioned seat library, thereby achieving a comprehensive lighting control performance effect of a specific shape.

[0191] Therefore, the effects application 111 controls multiple lighting devices 300 arranged in numerous seats within the performance venue to execute lighting actions customized for each seat. Thus, the specific shapes planned by the director can be represented based on the multiple lights output by the multiple lighting devices 300.

[0192] The effect application 111 can automatically generate a library of seats for performing a comprehensive performance effect based on a single image, with different seats assigned to each seat. For example, if an image of a bird shape corresponding to multiple seat areas is input, the effect application 111 will divide the bird-shaped image into pixels corresponding to each seat and match them to each seat. In addition, after determining the illumination mode setting value of the corresponding image pixels, the effect application 111 will automatically generate a library of seats for the matched seats based on the illumination mode setting value.

[0193] Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of an example of a library generation method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0194] Referring to Figure 5, in this embodiment, the effect application 111 may also include attribute change information (PCI) in the aforementioned library.

[0195] Here, the attribute change information (PCSI) according to the embodiment may be information that changes the luminance mode setting values ​​of various parameters (in the embodiment, whether to emit light, color, brightness and / or dynamic effects) within a specified range for the luminance mode information of the generated library.

[0196] Specifically, in the embodiment, the effect application 111 can set at least one interval (hereinafter referred to as "attribute change interval (PCS)") of the light emission mode setting value to be changed in all intervals of the light emission mode setting value of the generated library (hereinafter referred to as "library application interval (LAS)").

[0197] Specifically, as an example, the effect application 111 can set at least one attribute change interval (PCS) based on the start-end time of the attribute change interval (PCS) specified within the library application interval (LAS) by the user (here, the director).

[0198] For example, effect application 111 can set a first attribute change interval (PCS) within a first library application interval (LAS) that applies the first light emission mode information of the first library, based on user input specifying a first start-end time. Additionally, effect application 111 can set a second attribute change interval (PCS) within a first library application interval (LAS) that applies the first light emission mode information of the first library, based on user input specifying a second start-end time.

[0199] Additionally, in this embodiment, the effect application 111 can obtain attribute change input based on user (here, director) input, which changes a portion of the glow mode setting value (hereinafter referred to as "existing setting value") corresponding to the set attribute change interval (PCS) to a new glow mode setting value (hereinafter referred to as "new setting value").

[0200] Additionally, in this embodiment, the effects application 111 can match the acquired attribute change input to the corresponding attribute change range (PCS) to generate the aforementioned attribute change information (PCI). For example, the effects application 111 can generate attribute change information (PCI) for the first library based on the first attribute change input information (e.g., "on / off" for illumination, color, brightness, and / or dynamic effects) that changes at least a portion of the settings corresponding to the first attribute change range (PCS), and the second attribute change input information (e.g., "off / on" for illumination, color, brightness, and / or dynamic effects) that changes at least a portion of the settings corresponding to the second attribute change range (PCS).

[0201] In this embodiment, the effects application 111 can generate attribute change information (PCI) that allows for easy modification of at least a portion of the glow mode settings of the generated library according to the user's (here, the director's) requirements.

[0202] Therefore, when the effect application 111 needs to create a new library in addition to the existing one, it does not need to be remade from scratch. It can simply use the existing library to make the specified changes to create the new library, or generate a scene with various lighting modes through the existing library.

[0203] Figures 6 to 10 are schematic diagrams of an example of Attribute Change Information (PCI) according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0204] In this embodiment, when the attribute change input for changing the existing setting value to the new setting value is an attribute change input for changing the setting value of the luminous color, brightness and / or dynamic effect parameters of the lighting device 300, the effect application 111 can obtain the attribute change input in at least one of the input forms of attribute transformation input (PT) and / or attribute deformation input (PR).

[0205] Here, the attribute transformation input (PT) according to the embodiment can refer to a change instruction input that completely replaces the existing setting values ​​of each emission color, brightness and / or dynamic effect parameter corresponding to the corresponding attribute change range (PCS) with new setting values.

[0206] As an example, the attribute transformation input (PT) may include, as shown in FIG6, a light emission color transformation input that changes the existing light emission color (e.g., blue) to a new light emission color (e.g., red), a light emission brightness transformation input that changes the existing light emission brightness (e.g., first brightness) to a new light emission brightness (e.g., second brightness), and / or, as shown in FIG7, a dynamic effect transformation input that completely replaces the existing dynamic effect (e.g., fade-in effect) with a new dynamic effect (e.g., blinking effect).

[0207] Additionally, according to the embodiment, the attribute variation (PR) can refer to an instruction input that changes the existing setting value of each emission color, brightness, and / or dynamic effect parameter corresponding to the corresponding attribute variation range (PCS) to a combined value calculated based on the existing setting value and the new setting value.

[0208] As an example, the attribute transformation input (RP) may include, as shown in FIG8, a color transformation input that changes an existing emission color (e.g., blue) to a combination value (e.g., purple) that combines the existing emission color (e.g., blue) and a new emission color (e.g., red) according to a prescribed calculation (e.g., addition calculation, etc.).

[0209] Additionally, as an embodiment, the attribute transformation input (RP) may include an luminance transformation input that changes an existing luminance (e.g., a first luminance) to a combined value (e.g., a third luminance) that combines the existing luminance (e.g., the first luminance) and a new luminance (e.g., a second luminance) according to a prescribed calculation (e.g., an addition calculation, etc.).

[0210] Additionally, as an embodiment, the attribute transformation input (RP) may include, as shown in FIG9, a dynamic effect transformation input that changes an existing dynamic effect (e.g., fade-in effect) to a combined value (e.g., fade-in & flash & fade effect) that combines the existing dynamic effect (e.g., fade-in effect) and a new dynamic effect (e.g., blink & fade effect) according to a prescribed calculation (e.g., addition calculation, etc.).

[0211] Specifically, in the embodiment, the effects application 111 can obtain the aforementioned attribute transformation input (PT) and / or attribute deformation input (PR) for the attribute change range (PCS) set, based on user (here, director) input.

[0212] In addition, the effect application 111 can match the acquired attribute transformation input (PT) and / or attribute deformation input (PR) to the corresponding attribute change range (PCS) to generate the aforementioned attribute change information (PCI).

[0213] For example, referring to Figure 10, the effect application 111 can generate attribute change information (PCI) for the first library based on the emission color deformation input that combines the existing emission color with the new emission color corresponding to the first attribute change range (PCS), the emission brightness deformation input that replaces the existing emission brightness with the new emission brightness corresponding to the first attribute change range (PCS), and the dynamic effect deformation input that combines the existing dynamic effect with the new dynamic effect corresponding to the first attribute change range (PCS).

[0214] Additionally, in the embodiments, effect application 111 may also include the generated attribute change information (PCI) change corresponding library.

[0215] Additionally, in the embodiment, the effect application 111 can subsequently control the lighting device 300 to emit light based on the light emission mode information reflecting the attribute change information (PCI) (i.e., the light emission mode information that changes the light emission mode setting value according to the attribute change information (PCI)) based on the library containing the attribute change information (PCI).

[0216] As described above, Effect Application 111 generates Attribute Change Information (PCI) for at least a portion of the luminous mode setting values ​​within a specified range of the luminous mode information of the generated library, and executes the luminous action of the lighting device 300 based on the library by changing the luminous mode setting values ​​according to the generated Attribute Change Information (PCI). In this way, Effect Application 111 supports the convenient and quick completion of creation by reusing existing libraries without having to recreate a completely new library from scratch. Furthermore, Effect Application 111 saves data by supporting library reuse and can achieve a wider variety of luminous mode effects with fewer libraries.

[0217] Additionally, depending on the implementation, effect application 111 can provide a function to set the execution interval for the generated library. Generally, for libraries that cannot be partially used but need to be executed unconditionally in their entirety, to improve reusability, a library needs to be generated based on the smallest time unit. In this case, there is a problem of needing to create more libraries.

[0218] To avoid the aforementioned problem, in this embodiment of the disclosure, effect application 111 can provide an execution interval setting function for executing the generated library from a specified start time to a specified end time.

[0219] Specifically, in the embodiment, the effect application 111 can set the start time and end time of the library (hereinafter referred to as "library start-end time") based on user (here, director) input.

[0220] In addition, in the embodiment, effect application 111 can match the set library start-end time information to the corresponding library for storage and management.

[0221] Additionally, in this embodiment, when effect application 111 reads and runs the library, it can perform illumination control based on the library start-end time set therein.

[0222] In this embodiment, effect application 111 performs the light emission control based on the library only during the execution interval corresponding to the start time of the library (e.g., a first time) to the end time of the library (e.g., a second time after the first time).

[0223] As described above, Effect Application 111 provides an execution interval setup process that supports the necessary execution intervals selected from the library. Therefore, Effect Application 111 is not limited by the requirement to create libraries in small time units to improve their usability; it can easily create libraries according to the required length and significantly improves the convenience of reuse.

[0224] In addition, according to different embodiments, effect application 111 can provide a library grouping function that allows the generated libraries to be saved and managed in groups.

[0225] Specifically, in the embodiments, effect application 111 can provide library grouping functionality that allows for the grouping, saving, and management of multiple library combinations.

[0226] Specifically, in the embodiment, the effects application 111 can obtain library selection information from at least two of the generated libraries based on user (here, director) input.

[0227] Additionally, in an embodiment, effect application 111 can obtain library combination information that lists at least two or more selected libraries in the order of user (here, director) input.

[0228] In addition, in the embodiment, the effect application 111 can group the two or more libraries according to the obtained library combination information.

[0229] Additionally, in the embodiments, effect application 111 can cause at least two libraries within the grouped libraries (hereinafter referred to as "library group") to be executed sequentially according to the listed order.

[0230] For example, if effect application 111 is used when the library group includes "first library - second library", the first library is executed, and after the execution of the first library is completed, the second library is then executed.

[0231] In the embodiments, effect application 111 can execute or reuse libraries in units of specified library groups.

[0232] Therefore, Effect Application 111 eliminates the need to specify frequently used library groups each time; it only requires saving the group once, and can then regroup it for reading, execution, or reuse. Thus, Effect Application 111 saves the time and cost required to create the library group.

[0233] Additionally, in this embodiment, the effect application 111 can generate a scenario (S103).

[0234] Here, the scene described in the embodiments of this disclosure refers to preset data for making the lighting device 300 operate in a specific light-emitting mode within a specified time, and may include scene recognition information and light-emitting mode information.

[0235] The following descriptions that repeat the content of the library generation steps may be simplified or omitted.

[0236] Specifically, in the embodiments, the scenario may include identification information defining the scenario (e.g., identification number and / or scenario name, etc.) and light emission mode information that provides the scenario with a preset specific light emission mode.

[0237] Figure 11 is a schematic diagram of a scene generation method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0238] Referring to Figure 11, in this embodiment, the scene's illumination mode information (hereinafter referred to as "scene mode information") can be: 1) based on a combination of at least one library; or 2) based on a combination of at least one library and scene's own illumination mode information (SPI); or 3) based on scene's own illumination mode information (SPI). Specifically, in this embodiment, the effects application 111 can generate a scene (1) based on a combination of at least one library. That is, in this embodiment, the scene can be data on the running time of at least one library (hereinafter referred to as "unit library") selected as a constituent element of the scene within a specified time. Specifically, in this embodiment, the effects application 111 can obtain user (here, director) input for selecting at least one unit library.

[0239] Additionally, in an embodiment, effect application 111 can obtain library combination information that lists the selected at least one unit library in the order of user (here, director) input.

[0240] In this embodiment, the effects application 111 can obtain the runtime of each of the listed unit libraries based on user (here, director) input.

[0241] As an example, the effect application 111 can match the running time of each unit library according to the user (here, the director) input, based on at least a portion of the time intervals specified in the execution scene.

[0242] In addition, in the embodiment, the effect application 111 can group the at least one unit library to generate a scene based on the library combination information obtained above.

[0243] Additionally, in the embodiment, effect application 111 can cause at least one unit library within the grouped unit library (hereinafter referred to as the "unit library group") to be executed continuously according to the listed order and runtime.

[0244] For example, when effect application 111 generates a first scene based on the first to third unit libraries, when executing the first scene, the first glow mode based on the first unit library can be run for the first 5 seconds, the second glow mode based on the second library can be run for the next 3 seconds, and the glow mode based on the third library can be run for the next 2 seconds.

[0245] In the embodiment, effect application 111 can set the light emission mode information based on the order of at least one unit library in the scene and the running time as the scene mode information for that scene.

[0246] Therefore, the effect application 111 can generate a scene that controls the light emission mode of the lighting device 300 within a specified time according to the scene mode information.

[0247] As described above, the effect application 111 combines at least one of the generated libraries to create a scene. Therefore, without any further effort, the reusable library with various glow modes can be used to easily and quickly create scenes that indicate a series of glow modes to be executed within a specified time.

[0248] Additionally, in the embodiment, the effect application 111 can generate a scene (2) based on a combination of at least one library and scene self-illumination mode information (SPI).

[0249] In this embodiment, the scenario can be that within a specified time period, the runtime of at least one unit library is set in a certain interval, while the scene's own illumination mode information (SPI) data is set in the remaining interval. The following descriptions that are repeated may be simplified or omitted.

[0250] In other words, at least a portion of the time interval during which the scene is executed is implemented, as mentioned above, as a reusable interval based on a combination of at least one unit library, while the remaining portion can be implemented as a custom interval based on the scene's own luminous mode information (SPI).

[0251] Here, the scene self-illumination mode information (SPI, hereinafter referred to as "self-illumination mode information") according to the embodiment can refer to the newly set illumination mode information input by the scene user (here, the director) during the scene generation process.

[0252] Specifically, in the embodiments, the effect application 111 can set scene mode information for the reuse interval of the scene as described above, based on a combination of at least one unit library.

[0253] Additionally, in an embodiment, the effects application 111 may acquire user (here, director) input for specifying a particular illumination pattern to run in the remaining customized intervals other than the reuse interval.

[0254] In this embodiment, the method of specifying a particular light emission mode can refer to the description of the method for generating the library described in the foregoing library generation steps, and the content that is repeated in the foregoing description can be simplified or omitted.

[0255] Additionally, in the embodiment, the effect application 111 can set the specified specific light emission mode as its own mode information (SPI), and can set the set own mode information (SPI) as scene mode information for a customized range of the scene.

[0256] In this embodiment, the effect application 111 can set scene mode information for the scene, which includes scene mode information for a reuse interval based on luminescence mode information based on at least one unit library and scene mode information for a custom interval based on user-generated self-mode information (SPI).

[0257] Therefore, the effect application 111 can generate a scene that controls the light emission mode of the lighting device 300 within a specified time according to the scene mode information.

[0258] As described above, Effects Application 111 not only supports the reuse of existing libraries, but also allows for the free setting of specific sections of a scene according to the user's (here, the director's) needs, using the desired lighting patterns. Therefore, Effects Application 111 provides a high degree of freedom in the scene generation process while also including customized lighting patterns for each scene, thereby enabling more diverse performance effects based on the lighting device 300.

[0259] At this point, depending on the specific implementation, effect application 111 can store and manage the Self-Mode Information (SPI) as a library.

[0260] Specifically, in this embodiment, the effects application 111 can assign library identification information to the self-pattern information (SPI), and can save and run the self-pattern information (SPI) to which the library identification information is assigned as a library. Therefore, the effects application 111 supports the easy generation of scenes for subsequent use during the scene generation process.

[0261] Additionally, in this embodiment, the effect application 111 can generate the scene (3) based on the scene's own illumination mode information (SPI). That is, in this embodiment, the scene can be data of the scene's own illumination mode information (SPI) running for a specified time period. The following descriptions that are repeated may be simplified or omitted.

[0262] Specifically, in an embodiment, the effects application 111 may obtain Self-Mode Information (SPI) based on user (here, director) input to specify a particular luminescence mode that runs throughout the entire interval of the scene.

[0263] Additionally, in this embodiment, the effects application 111 can set the acquired Self-Mode Information (SPI) as scene mode information for that scene. Therefore, the effects application 111 can generate a scene that controls the illumination mode of the lighting device 300 within a specified time period based on the scene mode information. Thus, the effects application 111 can make a scene execute entirely according to the illumination mode required by the user (here, the director).

[0264] Additionally, referring to Figure 11, in the embodiment, when using at least one unit library to generate a scene, effect application 111 can set attribute change information (PCI) for each unit library.

[0265] In other words, the attribute change information (PCSI) can be information about the emission mode of an existing library, which changes the emission mode settings of various parameters (in this embodiment, emission status, color, brightness, and / or dynamic effects) within a specified range.

[0266] In this embodiment, effect application 111 can set attribute change information (PCI) for each unit library during the process of generating the scene in the same way as the attribute change information (PCI) generation method described in the aforementioned library generation step. For a detailed explanation of this part, please refer to the description of attribute change information (PCI) in the library generation step.

[0267] Therefore, when applying effect 111 to new scenarios, existing libraries can be reused to easily create various forms of scenarios at a lower cost.

[0268] Furthermore, in the embodiment, effect application 111 can be implemented using the same method as the execution interval setting function and library grouping function described in the aforementioned library generation step, to achieve the execution interval setting function and library grouping function based on each unit library. For a detailed explanation of this part, please refer to the description of the execution interval setting function and library grouping function in the library generation step.

[0269] Additionally, in the embodiments, effect application 111 may include individual seating scenes in the scene.

[0270] Here, each seating scene according to the embodiment can refer to a scene in a specified space (e.g., a performance venue, etc.) where the lighting device 300 is to be arranged, and the corresponding scene identification number is the same, but the scene mode information of the covered scene is different.

[0271] In this embodiment, the effects application 111 can generate a scene including each seat scene, wherein each seat scene controls the lighting device 300 to operate in different light emission modes according to the seat position where the lighting device 300 is arranged. For example, the effects application 111 can generate a first scene including each seat scene, wherein each seat scene is a first scene-first seat-first scene mode information and a first scene-second seat-second scene mode information. That is, the effects application 111 can generate a first scene based on each seat scene, wherein each seat scene assigns different values ​​to the light emission mode setting values ​​of the first scene executed based on the lighting device 300 arranged in the first seat and the light emission mode setting values ​​of the first scene executed based on the lighting device 300 arranged in the second seat.

[0272] Therefore, when the effect application 111 executes the first scene with different lighting modes for each seat, it enables the lighting devices 300 arranged in each seat to operate in a unified manner with different lighting modes, so as to achieve the comprehensive lighting control performance effect using multiple lighting devices 300 in the corresponding space.

[0273] In the embodiment, the effect application 111 can realize different lighting devices 300 to operate in a unified manner according to their own customized light emission mode based on the aforementioned seating scenes, thereby achieving a comprehensive lighting control performance effect of a specific shape.

[0274] Therefore, the effects application 111 controls the various lighting devices 300 arranged in the numerous seats within the performance venue to execute lighting actions customized for each seat. Furthermore, the effects application 111 can thus utilize the light output from the various lighting devices 300 at each seat to represent specific shapes planned by the director.

[0275] Additionally, in this embodiment, the effects application 111 can generate performance preparation data (S105).

[0276] Here, the performance preparation data according to the embodiment refers to the data that predefines the various lighting modes of each seat in the arrangement of the lighting device 300 in order to achieve the aforementioned comprehensive lighting control performance effect, and may refer to the data that needs to be stored in the lighting device 300 before the start of the performance.

[0277] Specifically, in an embodiment, the effects application 111 can generate the performance preparation data including at least one library and / or scene generated above.

[0278] At this point, depending on the specific implementation, the effect application 111 can also generate different performance preparation data for each seat.

[0279] Additionally, in this embodiment, the effects application 111 can publish performance preparation data (S107).

[0280] Specifically, in this embodiment, the effects application 111 can be linked with the central server 200 and / or the light stick terminals 100-2 to publish the performance preparation data to multiple lighting devices 300. Specifically, in this embodiment, the effects application 111 can send the generated performance preparation data to the central server 200. The central server 200 can then send the received performance preparation data to multiple light stick terminals 100-2. At this time, each of the multiple light stick terminals 100-2 can be matched and linked one-to-one with multiple lighting devices 300.

[0281] As an example, each of the plurality of cheering stick terminals 100-2 can be matched and paired with each of the plurality of lighting devices 300 on a one-to-one basis, based on the terminal identification code of each cheering stick terminal 100-2 and the device of each of the plurality of lighting devices 300.

[0282] Therefore, the plurality of light stick terminals 100-2 can provide the performance preparation data received from the central server 200 to the lighting device 300 matched to each light stick terminal 100-2.

[0283] In this case, as an example, the plurality of cheering stick terminals 100-2 can provide the performance preparation data to the lighting device 300 matched with each cheering stick terminal 100-2 based on Bluetooth pairing or other methods.

[0284] Therefore, the plurality of lighting devices 300 receive, store and manage performance preparation data corresponding to the seats where each lighting device 300 will be arranged.

[0285] In other embodiments, if seat information corresponding to the lighting device 300 is entered through another self-service terminal installed in the performance venue, the self-service terminal provides performance preparation data for that seat via short-range communication.

[0286] Figure 12 is a schematic diagram of an example of a lighting device control information transmission method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0287] Additionally, referring to Figure 12, in this embodiment, the effect application 111 can send a lighting device control signal and achieve a comprehensive lighting control performance effect (S109).

[0288] Here, the lighting device control signal (hereinafter referred to as "control signal") according to the embodiment refers to a signal that commands the execution / termination / end of at least one library and / or scene contained in the performance preparation data stored in the lighting device 300.

[0289] Figure 13 is a schematic diagram of a specific shape for a comprehensive lighting control performance effect plan according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0290] Additionally, referring to Figure 13, in other words, the integrated lighting control performance effect according to the embodiment can refer to the unified operation of different lighting devices 300 in their own customized light emission modes, thereby achieving a specific shape (SS, for example, the bird shape shown in Figure 13) based on the performance effect of the lighting devices 300.

[0291] Specifically, in this embodiment, the effects application 111 can be linked with the central server 200 to provide control signals to multiple lighting devices 300 for a planned integrated lighting control performance effect. Specifically, in this embodiment, the effects application 111 can send the control signals to the central server 200.

[0292] The central server 200 can be linked with at least one repeater (R) to send the received control signals to the multiple lighting devices 300 via broadcasting.

[0293] For reference, in the case of using a non-broadcast unicast method, the central server 200 needs to transmit the data packet (in this embodiment, the control signal) to be transmitted multiple times to multiple receivers (in this embodiment, multiple lighting devices 300). Therefore, the repeated transmission of the same data packet leads to a decrease in network efficiency. In addition, in the case of using a non-broadcast unicast method, the central server 200 needs to receive ACK messages corresponding to the transmitted data packet (in this embodiment, the control signal) from each of the multiple receivers (in this embodiment, the lighting device 300). This deterioration in communication will hinder smooth data communication.

[0294] Therefore, in this embodiment of the disclosure, the central server 200 is linked with the repeater (R), takes the entire network to which its host belongs as the target, and transmits data packets (in this embodiment, control signals) in a one-to-many communication manner without being hindered by other receivers, and sends the control signals to the multiple lighting devices 300.

[0295] In this embodiment, the central server 200 sends the control signal to multiple lighting devices 300 via broadcast, thereby reducing communication loss of control signals, reducing communication synchronization errors between multiple lighting devices 300, and improving communication efficiency.

[0296] Next, in an embodiment, a plurality of lighting devices 300 that receive control signals from the central server 200 can perform light emission control according to the received control signals.

[0297] Specifically, in this embodiment, the plurality of lighting devices 300 can control the light source section 360 of each lighting device 300 based on the light emission mode of the received control signal, thereby performing light emission control according to the control signal. A detailed explanation of this part will be provided later in the method for achieving performance effects based on the control of the lighting devices 300.

[0298] Therefore, the effect application 111 according to the embodiments of this disclosure can realize a comprehensive lighting control performance effect based on the start-up signal. Specifically, in the embodiments, the effect application 111 can pre-store performance preparation data containing at least one library and / or scene in multiple lighting devices 300. Then, the effect application 111 can broadcast control signals commanding the execution / interruption / termination of at least one of the libraries and / or scenes to the multiple lighting devices 300. Therefore, the effect application 111 can cause the multiple lighting devices 300 to uniformly and completely illuminate according to the lighting mode of the library and / or scene specified by the control signal.

[0299] Thus, by sending a single, low-capacity, high-speed control signal to multiple lighting devices 300, the effect application 111 can easily enable multiple lighting devices 300 to operate in different light-emitting modes.

[0300] —A method for achieving performance effects based on lighting control

[0301] The following is a detailed description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, of a method by which a lighting device control system 1000 performs a performance effect based on the control of a lighting device 300 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0302] At this point, descriptions that are repeated in the description of the lighting device control method may be simplified or omitted.

[0303] Figure 14 is a flowchart of a method for achieving performance effects based on the control of a lighting device 300 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0304] Referring to Figure 14, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the director terminal 100-1 of the lighting device control system 1000 can generate and send performance preparation data (S201).

[0305] In other words, the performance preparation data according to the embodiment refers to the data that predefines various lighting modes for each seat of the lighting device 300 to achieve the comprehensive lighting control performance effect according to the embodiment of this disclosure, and may refer to the data that needs to be stored in the lighting device 300 before the start of the performance.

[0306] Specifically, in an embodiment, the director terminal 100-1 can generate the performance preparation data including at least one library and / or scene generated above.

[0307] In addition, in this embodiment, the director terminal 100-1 can send the generated performance preparation data to the central server 200.

[0308] Additionally, in this embodiment, the central server 200 of the lighting control system 1000 can publish the received performance preparation data (S203).

[0309] Specifically, in this embodiment, the central server 200 can be linked with the cheering stick terminal 100-2 of the lighting device control system 1000 to publish the performance preparation data received from the director terminal 100-1 to multiple lighting devices 300.

[0310] Specifically, in this embodiment, the central server 200 can send the received performance preparation data to multiple light stick terminals 100-2. At this time, each of the multiple light stick terminals 100-2 can be paired and operated in a one-to-one manner with multiple lighting devices 300. As an embodiment, each of the multiple light stick terminals 100-2 can be paired and operated in a one-to-one manner with each of the multiple lighting devices 300 based on a specified terminal identification code for each light stick terminal 100-2 and a specified device for each of the multiple lighting devices 300.

[0311] Therefore, the plurality of light stick terminals 100-2 can provide the performance preparation data received from the central server 200 to the lighting device 300 matched to each light stick terminal 100-2.

[0312] In this case, as an example, the plurality of cheering stick terminals 100-2 can provide the performance preparation data to the lighting device 300 matched with each cheering stick terminal 100-2 based on Bluetooth pairing or other methods.

[0313] Therefore, the plurality of lighting devices 300 receive, store and manage performance preparation data corresponding to the seats where each lighting device 300 will be arranged.

[0314] Additionally, in this embodiment, the director terminal 100-1 of the lighting device control system 1000 can send control signals (S205).

[0315] Specifically, in this embodiment, the director terminal 100-1 can be linked with the central server 200 of the lighting device control system 1000 to send the aforementioned control signals to multiple lighting devices 300. In other words, according to this embodiment, the control signals can refer to signals that command at least one library and / or scene execution / termination contained in the performance preparation data stored in the lighting devices 300. Specifically, in this embodiment, the director terminal 100-1 can send the control signals to the central server 200. The central server 200 can then be linked with at least one repeater (R) to broadcast the received control signals to the multiple lighting devices 300. Therefore, the central server 200 can conveniently and quickly transmit common control signals to multiple lighting devices 300 while reducing the resulting communication load.

[0316] Additionally, in this embodiment, the lighting device 300 of the lighting device control system 1000 can perform light emission control based on the received control signal (S207).

[0317] Specifically, in an embodiment, the lighting device 300 can perform light emission control based on control signals received from the central server 200.

[0318] Specifically, in the embodiments, the plurality of lighting devices 300 can control the light source section 360 of each lighting device 300 based on the light emission mode of the received control signal, thereby performing light emission control according to the control signal.

[0319] Specifically, in an embodiment, the lighting device 300 can detect a library and / or scene that matches the received control signal based on performance preparation data pre-stored in the storage unit 320.

[0320] For example, when the received first control signal is a first library execution signal, the lighting device 300 can read the first library stored in the performance preparation data in the storage unit 320. As another application, when the received second control signal is a first scene execution signal, the lighting device 300 can read the first scene stored in the performance preparation data in the storage unit 320.

[0321] In addition, in this embodiment, the lighting device 300 can control the light emission operation of the light source unit 360 according to the light emission mode corresponding to the detected library and / or scene.

[0322] As an example, the lighting device 300 can control the light-emitting action of the light source unit 360 according to the light emission mode information of the detected library, and can also control the light emission action of the light source unit 360 according to the light emission mode information of the detected scene.

[0323] For example, the lighting device 300 can control the light-emitting action of the light source unit 360 based on the light-emitting mode information (e.g., "light-on / first color / first brightness / first dynamic effect") read from the first library, which sets the light emission status, color, brightness, and / or dynamic effect.

[0324] As another example, the lighting device 300 may control the light-emitting action of the light source unit 360 based on the light emission status, color, brightness and / or dynamic effect settings of the first scene mode information of the first scene read (e.g., "first light emission mode information of the first library / second light emission mode information of the second library / first self-mode information (SPI)", etc.).

[0325] In this embodiment, the lighting device 300 can control the light emission operation of the light source unit 360 according to the light emission mode in the form of attribute change information (PCI) of each unit library in the detected library and / or scene.

[0326] In this embodiment, the lighting device 300 can control the light emission operation of the light source unit 360 according to the light emission mode information reflecting the attribute change information (PCI) of the detected library, and can also control the light emission operation of the light source unit 360 according to the light emission mode information reflecting the attribute change information (PCI) of the detected library.

[0327] Therefore, the lighting device 300 can support the effective implementation of various forms of light emission modes based on library attribute change information (PCI).

[0328] In addition, in this embodiment, the lighting control system 1000 can achieve a comprehensive lighting control performance effect (S209).

[0329] As described above, the illumination of multiple lighting devices 300 can be uniformly controlled based on a specified control signal. Therefore, the lighting device control system 1000 according to the embodiments of this disclosure can realize that different lighting devices 300 operate in a unified manner according to their own customized illumination modes, thereby achieving a comprehensive lighting control performance effect of a specific shape as a whole.

[0330] As described above, the lighting control system 1000 according to the embodiments of this disclosure can pre-store performance preparation data including at least one library and / or scene in multiple lighting devices 300. Then, it provides control signals for executing / interrupting / terminating at least one of the libraries and / or scenes to the multiple lighting devices 300. Based on the performance preparation data pre-stored in the multiple lighting devices 300, the provided control signals are parsed, and according to the lighting mode of the library and / or scene specified by the control signals, the multiple lighting devices 300 are made to emit light uniformly. Thus, in a smooth communication environment, various forms of lighting actions that need to be performed in an effective process can be realized to achieve a comprehensive lighting control performance effect that needs to be executed uniformly by multiple lighting devices 300.

[0331] In summary, the lighting device 300 and the method and system for controlling the lighting device according to the embodiments of this disclosure generate a library and / or scene for controlling the light emission of the lighting device 300. Based on the generated library and / or scene, the light emission control of multiple lighting devices 300 can be performed in a convenient, fast, and accurate manner to uniformly execute customized light emission actions for multiple lighting devices 300 arranged and distributed in various seats in the performance venue.

[0332] Furthermore, according to the lighting device 300 and the method and system for controlling the lighting device according to the embodiments of this disclosure, the illumination control of multiple lighting devices 300 based on the library and / or scene can be performed, thereby enabling different lighting devices 300 to operate in a unified manner according to their own customized illumination modes, thereby achieving a specific shape performance effect as a whole (in the embodiment, the integrated lighting control performance effect).

[0333] Furthermore, the lighting device 300 and the method and system for controlling the lighting device according to the embodiments of this disclosure support the enhanced reuse of the library and / or scene. When a new library and / or scene is needed in addition to the existing library and / or scene, it is not necessary to recreate it from scratch. Instead, a new library and / or scene can be generated simply by actively using the existing library and / or scene with specified modifications.

[0334] Furthermore, the lighting device 300 and the method and system for controlling the lighting device according to the embodiments of this disclosure support the reuse of the library and / or scene, and support the convenient and quick creation of new libraries and / or new scenes. While saving data, more diverse lighting mode effects can be achieved with fewer libraries and / or scenes.

[0335] Furthermore, the lighting device 300 and the method and system for controlling the lighting device according to the embodiments of this disclosure can improve the efficiency and integrity of different lighting devices 300 operating in a unified manner according to their own customized light emission modes, thereby achieving a specific shape performance effect as a whole (in the embodiments, integrated lighting control performance effect). Therefore, while saving various efforts or costs required for the integrated lighting control performance effect, its completion can be improved.

[0336] Furthermore, the lighting device 300 and the method and system for controlling the lighting device according to the embodiments of this disclosure realize data communication between components within the lighting device control system 1000 based on a communication method optimized for the overall lighting control performance effect. Therefore, while reducing communication errors such as loss of control information communication of the lighting device 300 or communication synchronization errors between multiple lighting devices 300, its efficiency can be improved.

[0337] Furthermore, according to the lighting device 300 and the method and system for controlling the lighting device according to the embodiments of this disclosure, as long as a single control signal with small capacity and high speed is sent to multiple lighting devices 300 based on the optimized communication method, the lighting action based on the pre-stored lighting mode of each of the multiple lighting devices 300 can be easily realized. Therefore, while conveniently and quickly transmitting the common control signal to multiple lighting devices 300, the resulting communication load is reduced, thereby providing a smooth communication environment, which can support the smooth realization of the comprehensive lighting control performance effect in the smooth communication environment.

[0338] Furthermore, the embodiments of this disclosure described above can be implemented as program commands executable by various computer devices and recorded on a computer-readable recording medium. The computer-readable recording medium may include program commands, data files, data structures, etc., individually or in combination. The program commands recorded on the storage medium by the computer-readable recording medium may be specifically designed and configured for this disclosure or may be publicly available in the software field. Computer-readable recording media include magnetic media such as hard disks, floppy disks, and magnetic tapes; optical media such as CD-ROMs and DVDs; magneto-optical media such as floppy disks; and hardware devices such as ROMs, RAMs, and flash memory capable of storing and executing program commands. Program commands include not only machine language code generated in a compiler but also high-level language code executed in a computer using a translator or similar means.
