Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of lamp control, and particularly to a secondary dimming control method based on a scene mode. Background Art

[0002] In existing intelligent lighting control systems, for the dimming application of an area, the lighting effect of an area is mainly set to a fixed state through the scene mode control method (including which lights need to be turned on, which need to be turned off, and the brightness and color temperature values of the lights). For example, common scene modes such as "warm mode", "movie watching mode", "meeting mode" and "bright mode". The lighting effects of such fixed scene modes have the following disadvantages:

[0003] 1. For relatively fixed environments of users (such as homes), it can basically meet the users' lighting usage needs. However, for some commercial environments where users are not fixed (such as hotel rooms, high-end dining, etc.), the lighting effects achieved by fixed scene modes may not be able to meet the needs of all customers. At this time, it is necessary to be able to perform a second adjustment of the lighting brightness and color temperature without changing the current scene mode structure (lighting on / off combination).

[0004] 2. At the same time, existing lighting adjustment actions (such as brightening, dimming, color temperature enhancement, color temperature reduction, etc.) will also turn on the lights that are currently in the off state when adjusting the lighting brightness and color temperature. This will cause a change in the current overall scene mode structure (lighting on / off combination) and cannot meet a lighting adjustment function in the current scene mode.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a secondary dimming control method based on a scene mode to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0028] Referring to Figures 1 to 3 , a secondary dimming control method based on a scene mode is applied to an intelligent lighting control system. The intelligent lighting control system includes a gateway, a plurality of wireless switches, and a plurality of dimmable devices. At least one scene mode is defined in the system, and the scene mode includes at least one dimmable device. The control method includes the following steps:

[0029] S1. Configure the key positions of the wireless switches, and the control logics between the intelligent terminal and / or the voice controller and the dimmable devices, and push them to the dimmable devices for storage and execution. The dimmable devices respond to the dimming signals from the wireless switches, the intelligent terminal, and / or the voice controller. Among them, the control instructions of the intelligent terminal and / or the voice controller are transmitted to the dimmable devices through the gateway;

[0030] S2. When the dimmable device in the currently executing scene mode receives a dimming signal, check whether there is a matching control logic. If there is, go to step S3; if not, go to step S5;

[0031] S3. Obtain the dimming action to be executed from the matching control logic, and check its own state. If the state is on, go to step S4; if the state is off, go to step S5. Among them, when the brightness of the dimmable device is greater than 0, the state is on; when the brightness of the dimmable device is equal to 0, the state is off.

[0032] S4. The dimmable device executes the corresponding dimming action;

[0033] S5. End.

[0034] Referring to Figure 1, in the present invention, the dimmable device includes, but is not limited to, terminal controlled devices such as LED lights and drive power supplies that support brightness, color temperature, or color adjustment. In the intelligent lighting control system provided by the present invention, the gateway, wireless switch, and dimmable device are in the same 2.4G wireless network and form a control network through an appropriate wireless communication protocol. The wireless switch sends information about its state change in the control network, and the gateway is responsible for managing the wireless switch and the dimmable device in the control network. The intelligent terminal / voice controller is connected to the gateway through the network. Among them, in some embodiments, the voice controller can be integrated or provided by the intelligent terminal. The intelligent terminal transmits control commands to the dimmable device through the gateway. After the user completes the control configuration on the intelligent terminal, it is sent to the dimmable device through the gateway for storage.

[0035] The secondary dimming function based on scenarios supports the method of directly controlling the lights through the APP or voice commands, and also supports the adjustment by the wireless switch. Among them, the adjustment control of the wireless switch over the dimmable device also depends on the configuration of the control logic relationship between the wireless switch and the dimmable device. This configuration process is completed by the intelligent terminal and pushed to the dimmable device. The configuration process refers to Figure 2 ; The control logic relationship between the key positions of the wireless switch and the dimmable device mainly refers to the lighting adjustment actions that the dimmable device needs to execute after the button of the wireless switch is pressed. The dimming actions include increasing brightness, decreasing brightness, increasing color temperature, decreasing color temperature, color change, and / or stopping adjustment, and the increase and / or decrease actions include continuous adjustment and single - time fixed - ratio adjustment.

[0036] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 , as the first embodiment of the dimming signal, in step S2, when the dimming signal comes from the wireless switch, check whether there is a matching control logic in the wireless switch and the key position information. If there is, enter step S3; if not, enter step S5.

[0037] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 , as the second embodiment of the dimming signal, in step S2, when the dimming signal comes from the intelligent terminal, check whether there is a matching control logic in the control command. If there is, enter step S3; if not, enter step S5.

[0038] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 , as the third embodiment of the dimming signal, in step S2, when the dimming signal comes from the voice controller, check whether there is a matching control logic in the control command. If there is, enter step S3; if not, enter step S5.

[0039] The present invention provides an embodiment, such as a hotel guest room: corridor lights, main lighting groups, bedside lights, ambient light strips, washing lights, and bathroom lights, and all these devices support brightness adjustment from 0% to 100% and color temperature adjustment from 2700K to 6500K; assuming that the room is set with a "warm mode", and the corresponding effects of the warm mode are as follows:

[0040] Corridor lights: brightness 30%, color temperature 3500K

[0041] Main lighting group: turned off

[0042] Bedside light: turned off

[0043] Ambient light strip: brightness 30%, color temperature 3500K

[0044] Washing light: turned off

[0045] Bathroom light: brightness 30%, color temperature 3500K

[0046] At the same time, the room is equipped with function switches for scene-based secondary dimming, namely Button 1: controls the brightness increase of all lights in the room, Button 2: controls the brightness decrease of all lights in the room, Button 3: controls the color temperature increase of all lights in the room, and Button 4: controls the color temperature decrease of all lights in the room.

[0047] When the user activates the "warm mode", if they still feel that the current light brightness is slightly low and need to turn it up a bit, they can use Button 1 of the wireless switch to control the room lights to dim to a suitable brightness. The effects after the secondary adjustment of the lights are as follows:

[0048] Corridor lights: brightness 50%, color temperature 3500K

[0049] Main lighting group: turned off

[0050] Bedside light: turned off

[0051] Ambient light strip: brightness 50%, color temperature 3500K

[0052] Washing light: turned off

[0053] Bathroom light: brightness 50%, color temperature 3500K

[0054] The main functional features of the secondary dimming provided by the present invention are as follows:

[0055] 1) The device object generally takes an area as a whole, that is, it includes all dimmable devices in an area, rather than a single dimmable device (group);

[0056] 2) When the dimmable device responds to the light adjustment (dimming / color temperature adjustment) control, only when the current device status is "on" (brightness is greater than 0), will it follow the adjustment instruction to adjust the light;

[0057] 3) It can achieve secondary adjustment of the light brightness and color temperature of the current scene mode without changing the on / off state of the device in the original fixed scene mode.

[0058] The advantages of the present invention are as follows: Through the above method, secondary dimming can be performed on the basis of the fixed scene mode, meeting the different requirements of different customers for the light brightness and color temperature of the same scene mode.

[0059] Certainly, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make equivalent deformations or substitutions without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and these equivalent deformations and substitutions are all included in the scope defined by the claims of this application.
