You can switch between the normal lighting mode modes one by one by pressing the buttons, thereby highlighting the individual rider or team's personality. For example, tap the upper button on the remote control: turn the taillight on / off, but the taillight will not be turned off and will not affect the indicator light; tap the lower button on the remote control: enter the next normal mode gear position, the function is the same as tapping the host switch. If the taillight is in the OFF state, there is no action; tap the left button on the remote control: play the left turn animation, the remote control indicator light flashes blue (2Hz), tap the lower button to interrupt the left turn animation, and return to the normal mode gear position before the left turn. If you tap the upper button, interrupt the left turn animation and enter the taillight OFF state; tap the right button on the remote control: play the right turn animation, the remote control indicator light flashes blue (2Hz), tap the lower button to interrupt the right turn animation and return to the normal mode gear position before the right turn. If you tap the upper button, interrupt the right turn animation and enter the taillight OFF state.

[0027] As an embodiment of the present invention, to meet the teaming requirements of the cycling light control system, the combination of the up and down keys is used to open the teaming mode and apply to become the master, and the combination of the left and right keys is used to open the teaming mode and apply to become the slave. For example, you can press and hold the up and down keys on the remote control for 1 second to open the teaming mode, apply to join the team and become the master, and press any key to exit the application state; press and hold the left and right keys on the remote control for 1 second: open the teaming mode, apply to become the slave, join successfully, or press any key to exit the application state.

[0028] When one of the remote controllers becomes the host in a team, it can be used to:

[0029] A. Adjust the frequencies of all slaves in the team to be consistent;

[0030] B. Adjust all slave devices to be exactly the same as the master device’s display;

[0031] C. Press and hold the Up and Down buttons for 1 second to exit the team mode. The lights in Area A of all the host and slave devices in the team will go out for 0.2 seconds and then flash twice quickly, and then return to the previous state, and the team will be disbanded.

[0032] D. Send a same-frequency broadcast once every minute and receive a response broadcast once.

[0033] When one of the remote controllers becomes a slave in a team, it can be used to:

[0034] A. When no button is pressed, the display is exactly the same as the host;

[0035] B. When a key is pressed, the corresponding function of the key will be displayed for 10 seconds, then it will return to team mode and the display will be exactly the same as the host;

[0036] C. When there is a brake sensor, the brake sensor animation will be displayed for 5 seconds first, and then it will return to the team mode after the end, and the display will be exactly the same as the host;

[0037] D. Press and hold the left and right buttons for 3 seconds to exit the team mode. The light in area A will go out for 0.2 seconds, flash twice quickly, and then return to the previous state.

[0038] E. If no broadcast is received from the host within five minutes, the system will automatically exit the team mode. The light in zone A will go out for 0.2 seconds, flash twice quickly, and then return to the previous state.

[0039] F. Each time after receiving the host's same-frequency broadcast, it sends a response broadcast.

[0040] In addition, you can also change the host in the team:

[0041] A. Press and hold the down button on the remote control for 3 seconds to exit the host status and become a slave.

[0042] B. After the master exits the master identity, the slave device presses and holds the up button on the remote control for 3 seconds to switch to the master identity.

[0043] Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, when in the team mode, the smart taillight as the slave will display the function corresponding to the key operation for 10 seconds after a key operation, and then return to the team mode and display the same function as the master. Alternatively, the smart taillight is also equipped with a brake sensor. When in the team mode and the brake is sensed, the smart taillight as the slave will display the brake sensing animation for 5 seconds first. Figure 4 After the end, it returns to team mode and the display is exactly the same as the host. On the one hand, it can give priority to playing more urgent brake sensor animations or paired remote control button operations, and on the other hand, it can automatically return to team mode to keep the display consistent with the host.

[0044] In the embodiment of this utility model, see Figure 3The remote control 1 also includes an indicator light 15, which is used to prompt corresponding button operations with different lighting effects. For example, by long pressing the up and down buttons on the remote control for 1 second to turn on the team mode, apply to join a team and become the host, the remote control indicator light flashes green; by long pressing the left and right buttons on the remote control for 1 second: turn on the team mode, apply to become a slave, and the remote control indicator light flashes red for more than 2 seconds. In addition, the indicator light is also used to display the battery level when no button operation is performed. For example: when in use: the green light is always on: the current battery level is greater than or equal to 20%; the red light is always on: 20% battery level > current battery level >= 10% battery level; the red light flashes: the current battery level is less than 10%; when charging: the red light flashes: the current battery level is less than 99%; the green light is always on for 10 seconds: the current battery level is greater than or equal to 99%.

[0045] In the embodiment of this utility model, see Figure 3 The keypad area also includes a power button 16, which is used to control the pairing of the remote control and the smart taillight. The indicator light 15 is located on the power button 16. The power button 16 can be used for pairing. For example, pressing and holding the power button for 5 seconds enters the pairing state, with all lights off and the red and green indicators flashing alternately. When any key on the remote control is pressed, pairing is successful and the indicator light returns to normal power display. If no key on the remote control is pressed within 1 minute, or a key is pressed before pairing, pairing is interrupted and the indicator light returns to normal power display.

[0046] In order to solve the problem that current cycling lights are relatively monotonous and have single functions and cannot meet the needs of teaming, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a cycling light control system, including a remote control and an intelligent taillight. The remote control has an integrated wireless module, and the intelligent taillight has an integrated wireless module. After the intelligent taillight is paired with the remote control, it is controlled by the remote control. The remote control is provided with a key area to receive key operations, and the matching intelligent taillight is provided with a light display area to display different lights according to the key operations. The key operations include turning on the teaming mode and applying to become the host or slave.

[0047] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following advantages:

[0048] After pairing, the remote control and smart taillight are wirelessly connected. The remote control's keypad receives keystrokes to individually control the paired smart taillight. Alternatively, the host computer can control the entire team's smart taillights after team mode is enabled. Because group rides typically have a leader who directs the route and provides safety guidance, the leader can control the status of the team's bicycle taillights (including but not limited to lighting mode and buzzer sounding mode) to remind and direct the group. This addresses the current problem of monotonous and limited-function cycling lights that fail to meet the needs of group rides.
