Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a lighting device, a lighting device control method, and a director terminal. More specifically, the present invention relates to a lighting device that generates a library and / or a scenario for controlling the light emission of a lighting device, and controls the light emission of a plurality of lighting devices based on the generated library and / or scenario, and a method for controlling the same and a director terminal. [Background technology]

[0002] Generally, in spaces where large numbers of people gather, such as theaters, music venues, and / or museums, certain lighting devices are installed to guide the performance, direct movement within the space, or provide aesthetic support.

[0003] Here, the lighting device refers to a device that is carried by an individual or provided to an individual and emits light of various patterns.

[0004] Such lighting devices may be carried by users attending the performance, concert, and / or exhibition in the above-mentioned designated space, or may be provided and fixed to each user's seat.

[0005] The lighting devices provided to each user may operate differently depending on the specific location within the space or the user provided, and recently, this has been utilized in a variety of fields as a production method that controls the light emission of multiple lighting devices to realize a pre-planned specific shape or pattern over a wide area within the space in which the multiple lighting devices are placed.

[0006] To achieve this type of effect, it is necessary to send control messages to specify different lighting patterns for each lighting device and operate them accordingly; however, sending different control messages to numerous lighting devices one by one increases communication load and causes problems such as sync errors.

[0007] In other words, in order to operate multiple lighting devices arranged in a large space simultaneously according to different lighting patterns, it is necessary to control the lighting devices so that they operate simultaneously with precise timing, and the challenge is to develop technology to support this.

[0008] Conventionally, in order to control the light emission operation of such a lighting device, a library containing data already set so that the lighting device operates in a specific light emission pattern is created and used.

[0009] In addition, a scenario may be created that controls the emission of the lighting device for a predetermined period of time by setting a combination of the libraries or a separate emission pattern, and the scenario may be used.

[0010] However, in the past, once a library and / or scenario was created, it was only used as is without being able to change the attributes of the corresponding lighting pattern (e.g., lighting on / off, color, brightness, and / or dynamic effects, etc.) Furthermore, when changes are required to an existing library or scenario, a new library and / or a new scenario must be created from scratch.

[0011] Furthermore, this requires that libraries and / or scenarios corresponding to a specified number of emission patterns be generated and stored one by one, which can result in problems such as data being input into memory exceeding the capacity of the memory area, causing overflow, or reduced memory efficiency.

[0012] Therefore, there is a need to develop and introduce new technologies to solve the above problems. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0119] For example, the display 171 may be realized as a touch screen by forming a layer structure with the touch sensor 173, or the display 171 may be realized as a touch screen by being integrally formed with the touch sensor 173.

[0120] Such a touch screen may function as a user input unit that provides an input interface between the terminal 100 and a user, and may also provide an output interface between the terminal 100 and a user.

[0121] In addition, according to the present embodiment, the terminal 100 may further execute at least some of the functional operations performed by the central server 200 and / or the lighting device 300, which will be described later.

[0122] -Central server 200- Meanwhile, the central server 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention can perform a series of processes for providing a lighting device control service.

[0123] Specifically, in this embodiment, the central server 200 can provide the lighting device control service by exchanging data with an external device, such as a terminal 100 and / or a lighting device 300, required to execute a lighting device control process in the external device.

[0124] In this embodiment, the central server 200 provides an environment in which applications 111 can be executed on external devices (eg, mobile computing devices and / or desktop computing devices).

[0125] To this end, the central server 200 includes application programs, data and / or instructions that can be executed by the application 111, and can transmit and receive data based on the programs to and from the external device.

[0126] In addition, in this embodiment, the central server 200 can provide a signal that can realize a predetermined light emitting operation in an external device (eg, the lighting device 300, etc.).

[0127] To this end, the central server 200 includes application programs, data and / or commands for implementing the light emitting operations, and can transmit and receive data based thereon to and from the external device.

[0128] In this embodiment, the central server 200 can also create a library.

[0129] Here, the library according to the embodiment of the present invention refers to data that is already set so that the lighting device 300 operates in a specific light-emitting pattern (i.e., a specific light-emitting form).

In addition, the performance preparation data refers to data that must be already stored in the lighting device 300 before the start of a performance.

[0134] In addition, in this embodiment, the central server 200 can distribute the generated performance preparation data.

[0135] Specifically, in this embodiment, the central server 200 can distribute the performance preparation data to a plurality of lighting devices 300 in conjunction with the terminals 100 (in this embodiment, the director terminal 100-1 and / or the cheering pole terminals 100-2) and the like.

[0136] In addition, in this embodiment, the central server 200 can send lighting device control signals to multiple lighting devices 300 to achieve integrated lighting control processing.

[0137] Here, the lighting device control signal according to the present embodiment refers to a signal commanding execution / interruption / termination of at least one library and / or scenario included in the performance preparation data stored in the lighting device 300 .

[0138] In this embodiment, the central server 200 may be connected to at least one repeater to smoothly transmit the lighting device control signals to a plurality of lighting devices 300 .

[0139] Here, each of the repeaters according to this embodiment can transmit a predetermined data packet (a lighting device control signal in this embodiment) to one lighting device 300 among the plurality of lighting devices 300 and to a lighting device 300 adjacent to the one lighting device 300 based on a broadcasting method.

[0140] For example, the broadcasting method is a one-to-many communication method in which a predetermined data packet is transmitted to the entire network to which the host of one lighting device 30 belongs, without specifying other recipients.

[0141] At least one repeater that transmits data based on such a broadcasting scheme may be included directly in the central server 200 and perform the functional operations described above, or may be realized as a device separate from the central server 200 and perform the functional operations described above.

[0142] In the following description, an example is given in which at least one repeater is included in the central server 200, but the repeater is not limited to the example described here.

[0143] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the central server 200 can store and manage various application programs, commands and / or data for implementing the lighting device control service.

[0144] In this embodiment, the central server 200 can store and manage at least one library, a scenario, performance preparation data, lighting device control signals, and / or various user interfaces.

[0147] The database module 230 also includes a program area and a data area.

[0148] Here, the program area according to this embodiment provides linkage between the operating system (OS) that starts the server and the functional elements, and the data area stores data that is generated in conjunction with the use of the server.

[0149] In this embodiment, the database module 230 may be a variety of storage devices such as ROM, RAM, EPROM, flash drive, hard drive, etc., or may be a web storage that performs the storage function of the database module 230 on the Internet.

[0150] Furthermore, the database module 230 may be a removable recording medium on the server.

[0151] Meanwhile, the processor module 210 includes a function for controlling the overall operation of each of the above-mentioned units to realize a lighting device control service.

[0152] Such a processor module 210 may be a system-on-chip (SOC) suitable for a server including a central processing unit (CPU) and / or a graphics processing unit (GPU), and can execute application programs including an operating system (OS) and / or application 111 stored in the database module 230, and control each component installed in the server.

[0153] Furthermore, the processor module 210 can communicate with each component internally via a system bus, and may include one or more predetermined bus structures such as a local bus.

[0154] Additionally, the processor module 210 may perform functions using at least one of application specific integrated circuits (ASICs), digital signal processors (DSPs), digital signal processing devices (DSPDs), programmable logic devices (PLDs), field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), controllers, micro-controllers, microprocessors, and other electrical units for performing functions.

[0155] In the above description, the central server 200 according to the embodiment of the present invention performs the above-mentioned functional operations as an example. However, the functional operations of the central server 200 are not limited to the example described here. For example, at least a part of the functional operations performed in the central server 200 according to the present embodiment may be performed by an external device (e.g., the terminal 100 and / or the lighting device 300, etc.). In addition, at least a part of the functional operations performed by the external device may be further performed by the central server 200, and various other forms are possible.

[0156] -Lighting device 300- Meanwhile, the lighting device 300 according to the embodiment of the present invention can perform a light emitting operation under the control of the lighting device control system 1000 .

[0157] Here, the lighting device 300 according to the present embodiment refers to a device that is carried by an individual or provided to an individual and emits light in various patterns. The lighting device 300 is carried by a user who is watching a performance in a given space such as a performance hall, or is provided to be fixed to each user's seat.

[0158] Specifically, in this embodiment, the lighting device 300 stores and manages the performance preparation data as described above.

[0159] Also, in this embodiment, the lighting device 300 receives lighting device control signals as described above.

[0160] In addition, in this embodiment, the lighting device 300 performs a light emission operation according to the received lighting device control signal and the stored performance preparation data.

[0161] FIG. 3 is an internal block diagram of a lighting device 300 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0162] Specifically, referring to FIG. 3, in this embodiment, the lighting device 300 includes a first communication unit 310, a storage unit 320, a second communication unit 330, a protocol processing unit 340, a timing adjustment unit 350, a light source unit 360, and a processor 370.

[0163] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first communication unit 310 receives performance preparation data from the terminal 100 .

[0164] The first communication unit 310 may include a BLE module or a wireless communication module using the IEEE 802.15.4 standard, but is not limited thereto, and the first communication unit 310 may receive performance preparation data via a wired connection.

[0165] In addition, in this embodiment, the storage unit 320 stores and manages the received performance preparation data.

[0166] In an embodiment of the present invention, the lighting device 300 may receive and store performance preparation data in advance at a location other than the performance venue (eg, a home, etc.), or may receive and store the performance preparation data at the performance venue.

[0167] In this embodiment, the second communication unit 330 also receives lighting device control signals from the central server 200 (and / or the repeater).

[0168] At this time, the second communication unit 330 can transmit and receive data to and from the central server 200 (and / or a repeater) using RF (Radio Frequency) communication such as Bluetooth, BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy), WiFi, ZigBee, UWB, etc.

[0169] In addition, in this embodiment, the protocol processor 340 can determine the type of information received by the first communication unit 310 and / or the second communication unit 330.

[0170] At this time, if the received information is a control message (ie, a lighting device control signal in this embodiment), a retransmission packet, or a sync packet, the protocol processor 340 can transfer it to the timing adjuster 350 .

[0171] Then, the timing adjustment unit 350 can adjust the operation timing of the lighting device 300 based on the respective sequences of the control messages included in the received control messages, retransmission packets, or sync packets.

[0172] In FIG. 3, the timing adjustment unit 350 is illustrated as a separate component, but this is by way of example only and the timing adjustment unit 350 may be included in the processor 370 depending on the embodiment.

[0173] In addition, in this embodiment, the light source unit 360 may emit or flash light of a specific color according to the information stored in the storage unit 320 and the control of the processor 370, or may perform light-emitting operations such as adjusting brightness.

[0174] The light source unit 360 may be configured, for example, by an LED (Light Emitting Device). The configuration of the light source unit 360 is not limited to the configuration described here. For example, the light source unit 360 may be configured in any form as long as it is configured of a specific light-emitting material and can perform a predetermined light-emitting operation.

[0175] In this embodiment, the processor 370 may also control the overall operation of the lighting device 300 .

[0176] In this embodiment, the processor 370 can control the light emitting operation of the light source unit 360 according to the performance preparation data stored in the storage unit 320 and the lighting device control signal received via the second communication unit 330 .

[0177] The processor 370 can then determine which libraries and / or scenarios in the performance preparation data to execute based on the received lighting device control signals.

[0178] That is, processor 370 may parse the received lighting device control signals to determine which of a given library and / or scenario to play.

[0179] Then, the processor 370 can control the light source unit 360 to emit light in accordance with the determined library and / or scenario.

[0180] In particular, in this embodiment, the processor 370 may read out a lighting pattern corresponding to library and / or scenario identification information included in the lighting device control signal from the storage unit 320 based on the corresponding identification information, and may control the light source unit 360 to output the read out lighting pattern.

[0181] Meanwhile, according to the present embodiment, the lighting device 300 may further perform at least a part of the functions and operations performed in the terminal 100 and / or the central server 200 described above.

[0182] -Lighting device control method- Hereinafter, a method in which the directing application 111 executed by at least one processor of the director terminal 100-1 controls the lighting device 300 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying FIGS.

[0183] In an embodiment of the present invention, at least one or more processors of the director terminal 100-1 can execute at least one or more directing applications 111 stored in at least one or more memories 110 or can operate them in a background state.

[0184] Hereinafter, the directing application 111 will be briefly described as performing the method for providing the lighting device control services described above, in which at least one processor operates to execute instructions of the directing application 111.

[0185] FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating a method for controlling a lighting device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0186] Referring to FIG. 4, in this embodiment, a directing application 111 executed by at least one processor of the director terminal 100-1 or operating in background mode creates a library (S101).

[0187] Here, the library according to the embodiment of the present invention is data that is already set so that the lighting device 300 operates in a specific light emitting pattern (ie, a specific light emitting form), and includes library identification information and light emitting pattern information.

[0188] Specifically, in this embodiment, the library includes identification information (e.g., an identification number and / or a library name) that identifies the library, and light emission pattern information that provides a specific light emission pattern already set in the library.

[0189] Here, the lighting pattern information according to the present embodiment is information that includes the lighting presence / absence, color, brightness and / or dynamic effect parameters of the lighting device 300, and can operate the lighting device 300 according to the setting value for each parameter (hereinafter, the lighting pattern setting value).

[0190] In this case, in this embodiment, the dynamic effect may be data that realizes a specified effect by dynamically changing the setting values ​​for other parameters (in this embodiment, whether or not to emit light, color and / or brightness) in the light emission pattern information.

[0191] For example, the dynamic effects include a blink effect in which the lighting device 300 is set to emit light differently depending on the time period within a predetermined time and blinks quickly, a gradation effect in which the light color is set differently depending on the time period and gradually changes, and a fade in / out effect in which the brightness of the light is set differently depending on the time period and gradually becomes darker or brighter.

[0192] In this embodiment, the directing application 111 can generate at least one or more of the libraries described above.

[0193] For example, the performance application 111 may generate a plurality of libraries, such as a first library in which library identification information and light-emitting pattern information (light-emitting pattern setting values) are set to "ID number 0001 / light-on / first color / first brightness / first dynamic effect" and a second library in which library identification information and light-emitting pattern information (light-emitting pattern setting values) are set to "ID number 0002 / light-on / second color / second brightness / second dynamic effect." At this time, the light-on / color / brightness of the libraries may be set to have different values ​​for a predetermined time.

[0194] In addition, in this embodiment, the production application 111 may generate a seat-specific library in addition to the library.

[0195] Here, the seat-specific library in this embodiment refers to a library in which the library identification information corresponding to each seat where the lighting device 300 is placed in a specific space (e.g., a performance hall) is the same, but the light emission pattern information according to the corresponding library is set to be different.

[0196] That is, in this embodiment, the directing application 111 can generate a library including a seat-specific library that controls the lighting device 300 to operate with different light emission patterns depending on the position of the seat where the lighting device 300 is placed.

[0197] For example, the production application 111 can generate a first library including a seat-specific library of first library-first seat-first lighting pattern information and a seat-specific library of first library-second seat-second lighting pattern information.

[0198] In other words, the production application 111 can generate a first library based on a seat-specific library that assigns different lighting pattern setting values ​​of the first library executed based on the lighting device 300 placed in the first seat and lighting pattern setting values ​​of the first library executed based on the lighting device 300 placed in the second seat.

[0199] As a result, when the directing application 111 simultaneously executes the first library set with different lighting patterns for each seat, the lighting devices 300 arranged at each seat are operated collectively with different lighting patterns for each seat by the directing application 111, thereby realizing integrated lighting control processing by a plurality of lighting devices 300 in the corresponding space.

[0200] That is, in an embodiment, the performance application 111 can realize an integrated lighting control process in which different lighting devices 300 operate collectively with lighting patterns specific to each lighting device to produce a specific overall shape based on the above-mentioned seat-specific library.

[0201] Therefore, the directing application 111 can control a plurality of lighting devices 300 arranged for each of the numerous seats in the performance hall to perform a specialized light-emitting operation for each seat, so that a specific shape designed by the director can be expressed based on a plurality of lights outputted from the plurality of lighting devices 300.

[0202] The directing application 111 can automatically generate a seat library for performing integrated processing for a plurality of seats based on at least one image. For example, when a bird-shaped image corresponding to a plurality of seat areas is input, the directing application 111 classifies the bird-shaped image by pixels corresponding to each seat and matches it with each seat. In addition, the directing application 111 can determine a lighting pattern setting value corresponding to the pixel of the bird-shaped image, and then automatically generate a seat library for the matched seat according to the lighting pattern setting value.

[0203] FIG. 5 is an example of a diagram for explaining a library generating method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0204] At this time, referring to FIG. 5, in this embodiment, the directing application 111 may further include attribute change information (PCI) in the above-mentioned library.

[0205] Here, the attribute change information (PCI) according to this embodiment may be information that changes the illumination pattern setting values ​​of each parameter (irradiation on / off, color, brightness, and / or dynamic effect in this embodiment) for a specific section of the illumination pattern information of an already generated library. Note that dynamic effects are sometimes called effects.

[0206] Specifically, in this embodiment, the performance application 111 can set at least one section (hereinafter, attribute change section (PCS)) in which the lighting pattern setting value is to be changed among all sections (hereinafter, library application section (LAS)) to which the lighting pattern setting value of the already generated library is applied.

[0207] Specifically, in this embodiment, the production application 111 can set at least one attribute change section (PCS) by specifying the start and end points for a specified attribute change section (PCS) within the library application section (LAS) based on user (here, the director) input.

[0208] For example, the directing application 111 can set a first attribute change section (PCS) based on a user input specifying a first start-end time point in a first library application section (LAS) to which the first lighting pattern information of the first library (Library 1) is applied. Also, the directing application 111 can set a second attribute change section (PCS) based on a user input specifying a second start-end time point in the first library application section (LAS) to which the first lighting pattern information of the first library is applied.

[0209] In addition, in this embodiment, the performance application 111 can acquire attribute change input that changes at least a portion of the light emission pattern setting values ​​(hereinafter, existing parameter setting values) corresponding to the set attribute change section (PCS) to new light emission pattern setting values ​​(hereinafter, new parameter setting values) based on user (here, director) input.

[0210] In the present embodiment, the directing application 111 generates the above-mentioned attribute change information (PCI) by matching the acquired attribute change input with the corresponding attribute change section (PCS). For example, the directing application 111 generates the above-mentioned attribute change information (PCI) by matching the first attribute change input with at least some of the setting values ​​of the illumination, color, brightness, and / or dynamic effect corresponding to the first attribute change section (PCS) (e.g., "illumination (Irradiation on→off) is on→off / ...") and the illumination, color, brightness, and / or dynamic effect corresponding to the second attribute change section (PCS) (e.g., "illumination (Irradiation on→off) is on→off / ...") corresponding to the second attribute change section (PCS). generating attribute change information (PCI) for the first library based on second attribute change input information (e.g., "irradiation on→off) is changed from off to on / ...") for changing at least some of the setting values ​​of color, brightness, and / or dynamic effects; This can be done.

[0211] That is, in this embodiment, the rendering application 111 generates attribute change information (PCI) that can easily change at least a portion of the lighting pattern setting values ​​for the already generated library according to the needs of the user (here, the renderer).

[0212] Thus, when a new library is required in addition to the existing libraries, the production application 111 can create a new library by positively utilizing the already created libraries and making predetermined changes without having to create the new library from start to finish, and can generate a scenario with various changes in light emission patterns through the existing libraries.

[0213] 6 to 10 are diagrams illustrating examples of attribute change information (PCI) according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0214] At this time, in this embodiment, when the attribute change input for changing an existing parameter setting value to a new parameter setting value is an attribute change input for changing the setting values ​​for the light color, brightness and / or dynamic effect parameters for the lighting device 300, the performance application 111 can acquire the attribute change input in at least one input format of an attribute conversion input (PT) and / or an attribute transformation input (PR).

[0215] Here, the attribute conversion input (PT) in this embodiment refers to a change instruction input to replace existing parameter setting values ​​for light color, brightness and / or dynamic effect parameters corresponding to the corresponding attribute change section (PCS) with new parameter setting values.

[0216] In this embodiment, the attribute conversion input (PT) includes an emission color conversion input for replacing an existing emission color (e.g., red) with a new emission color (e.g., blue) as shown in FIG. 6, an emission brightness conversion input for replacing an existing emission brightness (e.g., first brightness) with a new emission brightness (e.g., second brightness), and / or a dynamic effect conversion input for replacing an existing dynamic effect (e.g., blink effect) with a new dynamic effect (e.g., fade in effect) as shown in FIG. 7.

[0217] Meanwhile, the attribute transformation input (PR) in this embodiment means an instruction input to change the existing parameter setting value for each luminous color, brightness and / or dynamic effect parameter corresponding to the corresponding attribute change section (PCS) to a result value obtained by a predetermined calculation based on the existing parameter setting value and a new parameter setting value.

[0218] In this embodiment, the attribute transformation input (PR) may include a light-emitting color transformation input that changes an existing light-emitting color (e.g., red) to a result color (e.g., purple) by combining the existing light-emitting color (e.g., red) and a new light-emitting color (e.g., blue) through a predetermined operation (e.g., an addition operation (+)), as shown in FIG. 8.

[0219] In addition, in this embodiment, the attribute transformation input (PR) may include a light emission brightness transformation input that changes an existing light emission brightness (e.g., a first brightness) to a result value (e.g., a third brightness) obtained by combining the existing light emission brightness (e.g., the first brightness) and a new light emission brightness (e.g., a second brightness) by a predetermined calculation (e.g., an addition calculation, etc.).

[0220] In addition, in this embodiment, the attribute transformation input (PR) may include a dynamic effect transformation input that changes an existing dynamic effect (Effect) (e.g., a blink effect) to a result value (e.g., a blink & fade-in effect) obtained by combining the existing dynamic effect (Effect) (e.g., a blink effect) and a new dynamic effect (Effect) (e.g., a fade-in effect) through a predetermined operation (e.g., an addition operation (+)), as shown in FIG. 9.

[0221] Specifically, in this embodiment, the production application 111 can obtain the attribute conversion input (PT) and / or attribute transformation input (PR) as described above for the set attribute change section (PCS) based on user (here, director) input.

[0222] In addition, the performance application 111 can generate the attribute change information (PCI) by matching the acquired attribute conversion input (PT) and / or attribute modification input (PR) to the corresponding attribute change section (PCS).

[0223] For example, referring to FIG. 10, the performance application 111 can generate attribute change information (PCI) for the first library based on a light color transformation input that combines an existing light color corresponding to the first attribute change section (PCS) with a new light color, a light brightness conversion input that replaces an existing light brightness corresponding to the first attribute change section (PCS) with a new light brightness, and a dynamic effect transformation input that combines an existing dynamic effect corresponding to the first attribute change section (PCS) with a new dynamic effect.

[0224] In addition, in this embodiment, the performance application 111 can modify the corresponding library by further including the attribute modification information (PCI) generated as described above.

[0225] As a result, in this embodiment, the performance application 111 can later control the light emission of the lighting device 300 according to light emission pattern information reflecting the attribute change information (PCI) based on a library including the attribute change information (PCI) (i.e., light emission pattern information in which the light emission pattern setting value has been changed according to the corresponding attribute change information (PCI)).

[0226] In this manner, the directing application 111 generates attribute change information (PCI) for changing the lighting pattern setting value for at least a part of a predetermined section to which the lighting pattern information of the already generated library is applied, and controls the lighting device 300 to perform a lighting operation based on the library according to the lighting pattern setting value changed by reflecting the generated attribute change information (PCI). In this manner, the directing application 111 can support easy and quick creation of a new library by reusing an existing library without creating a new library from start to finish. Furthermore, since the directing application 111 supports the reuse of the library, the lighting device, the lighting device control method, and the director terminal according to the embodiment of the present invention can achieve a data reduction effect and realize more diverse lighting pattern creation based on a small library.

[0227] Meanwhile, according to the present embodiment, the performance application 111 can provide an execution section setting function for the generated library.

[0228] Generally, in the case of a library that cannot be used in part and must be played back in its entirety, one library must be created in the minimum time unit to increase reusability. In this case, a situation may arise where multiple libraries must be created.

[0229] To prevent this, in an embodiment of the present invention, the directing application 111 can provide an execution interval setting function that can execute the generated library from a predetermined start point to a predetermined end point.

[0230] More specifically, in this embodiment, the directing application 111 can set start and end points (hereinafter, library start-end points) for the library based on user (here, director) input.

[0231] In addition, in this embodiment, the directing application 111 can match the set library start-end time information with a corresponding library, and store and manage it.

[0232] In addition, in this embodiment, when the corresponding library is read and executed, the performance application 111 can execute light emission control according to the corresponding library based on the set library start-end time points.

[0233] That is, in this embodiment, the performance application 111 can execute lighting control based on the library only for the execution section corresponding to the set library start time (e.g., a first time) to the set library end time (e.g., a second time after the first time).

[0234] In this way, the directing application 111 can provide an execution section setting process that supports use of only the execution section required in the library. As a result, in the lighting device, lighting device control method, and director terminal according to the embodiment of the present invention, by using the directing application 111, it is possible to create a library of a predetermined length without being restricted to creating a library for each predetermined small time unit. As a result, in the lighting device, lighting device control method, and director terminal according to the embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to effectively utilize the library and improve the convenience of the library.

[0235] Meanwhile, according to the present embodiment, the directing application 111 can provide a library grouping function that can store and manage the created library in group units.

[0236] Specifically, in this embodiment, the rendering application 111 provides a library grouping function that can combine and group a plurality of libraries for storage and management.

[0237] Specifically, in this embodiment, the directing application 111 can obtain library selection information for selecting at least two or more of a plurality of libraries that have already been generated based on user (here, director) input.

[0238] In addition, in this embodiment, the production application 111 can obtain library combination information in which the at least two or more selected libraries are sequentially arranged according to a user (here, a director) input.

[0239] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the rendering application 111 can group at least two or more corresponding libraries in accordance with the acquired library combination information.

[0240] Furthermore, in this embodiment, rendering application 111 can perform control so that at least two or more libraries in the grouped library (hereinafter, library group) are executed consecutively according to the order in which they are arranged.

[0241] For example, when the library group includes "first library-second library", the directing application 111 can control the execution of the first library, and when the execution of the first library is completed, the execution of the second library is performed successively.

[0242] That is, in this embodiment, the rendering application 111 can execute or reuse libraries on a predefined library group basis.

[0243] Thus, the directing application 111 groups and stores library combinations that are used repeatedly without having to specify them each time they are used, and the lighting device, lighting device control method, and director terminal according to the embodiment of the present invention can read and execute or reuse the library combination in units of the corresponding group. Therefore, the lighting device, lighting device control method, and director terminal according to the embodiment of the present invention can reduce the time and cost required to create the corresponding library combination by using the directing application 111.

[0244] Furthermore, in this embodiment, rendering application 111 generates a scenario (see S103 in FIG. 4).

[0245] Here, the scenario according to an embodiment of the present invention is data that is pre-set so that the lighting device 300 operates in a specific lighting pattern for a predetermined period of time, and includes scenario identification information and lighting pattern information.

[0246] In the following description, the description of the contents that overlap with the contents described in the above-mentioned library generation stage may be omitted.

[0247] Specifically, in this embodiment, the scenario includes identification information that identifies the scenario (e.g., an identification number and / or a scenario name, etc.) and lighting pattern information that provides a specific lighting pattern that has already been set in the scenario.

[0248] FIG. 11 is an example of a diagram for explaining a scenario generating method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0249] At this time, referring to FIG. 11, in this embodiment, the scenario lighting pattern information (hereinafter, scenario pattern information) can be 1) realized based on at least one library combination, 2) realized based on at least one library combination and scenario's own lighting pattern information (SPI), or 3) realized based on scenario's own lighting pattern information (SPI).

[0250] Specifically, in this embodiment, the directing application 111 can: 1) generate a scenario based on at least one library combination.

[0251] That is, in this embodiment, a scenario based on 1) may be data that sets an operating time for at least one library (hereinafter, Unit Library) selected as a component of the scenario for a specified period of time.

[0252] Specifically, in this embodiment, the directing application 111 can obtain a user (here, a director) input to select at least one unit library.

[0253] In addition, in this embodiment, the directing application 111 can obtain unit library combination information in which the at least one selected unit library is sequentially arranged according to a user (here, a director) input.

[0254] In this embodiment, the directing application 111 can set the operation time for each of the arranged unit libraries based on a user (here, a director) input.

[0255] In this embodiment, the directing application 111 can set an operating time by matching each of the arranged unit libraries for at least a portion of the specified time during which the scenario is executed, based on input from the user (here, the director).

[0256] In addition, in this embodiment, the directing application 111 can generate a scenario by grouping the at least one unit library based on the library combination information acquired as described above.

[0257] In addition, in this embodiment, the directing application 111 can continuously execute the grouped unit libraries (hereinafter, unit library groups) according to the order and operation time of at least one unit library in the grouped unit libraries.

[0258] For example, when the performance application 111 generates a first scenario (Scenario 1) based on the first to third unit libraries (Library 1, Library 2, and Library 3), when the first scenario is executed, a first lighting pattern based on the first unit library (Library 1) is operated for the first five seconds, a second lighting pattern based on the second library (Library 2) is operated for the next three seconds, and a lighting pattern based on the third library (Library 3) is operated for the next two seconds.

[0259] That is, in this embodiment, the production application 111 can set lighting pattern information according to the order in which at least one unit library in the scenario is arranged and its operation time as scenario pattern information for the corresponding scenario.

[0260] Therefore, the rendering application 111 can generate a scenario that controls the light emission pattern of the lighting device 300 for a predetermined period of time according to the scenario pattern information.

[0261] In this manner, in the scenario generating method according to the embodiment of the present invention, one scenario can be generated by combining at least one library that has already been generated by using the direction application 111. As a result, in the scenario generating method according to the embodiment of the present invention, a scenario that instructs the execution of a series of executable lighting patterns within a predetermined time can be easily and quickly constructed by reusing a library having various lighting patterns without additional effort.

[0262] Alternatively, in this embodiment, the directing application 111 can 2) generate a scenario based on at least one library combination and the scenario's own illumination pattern information (SPI).

[0263] That is, in this embodiment, the scenario based on 2) may be data in which the operation time of at least one unit library is set for at least a part of a predetermined time period, and the light emission pattern information (SPI) of the scenario itself is set for the remaining part. In the following description, descriptions that overlap with the above description may be omitted.

[0264] In other words, a scenario based on 2) (e.g., Scenario 2) is realized as a reuse section configured based on a combination of at least one unit library (e.g., Library 1) as described above during the specified time during which the scenario is executed, and the remaining section is realized as a customized section configured based on the light emission pattern information (SPI) of the scenario itself.

[0265] Here, the scenario self-illumination pattern information (SPI: hereinafter, self-pattern information) according to this embodiment refers to illumination pattern information newly set by input from the user (here, the director) of the corresponding scenario during the process of generating the scenario.

[0266] Specifically, in this embodiment, the production application 111 can set scenario pattern information for the reuse section of the scenario in a manner based on a combination of at least one of the unit libraries described above.

[0267] In addition, in the embodiment, the directing application 111 can obtain a user (here, a director) input that designates a specific lighting pattern to be operated during the remaining customized section other than the reuse section.

[0268] In this embodiment, the method of specifying the specific light emission pattern may be mutatis mutandis to the description of the method of generating a library described in the above library generating step, and any description that overlaps with the above description may be omitted.

[0269] In addition, in this embodiment, the performance application 111 can set the specified specific lighting pattern as autonomous pattern information (SPI) and set the set autonomous pattern information (SPI) as scenario pattern information for the customized section of the scenario.

[0270] That is, in this embodiment, the performance application 111 can set scenario pattern information for the relevant scenario, including scenario pattern information for a reuse section that operates according to lighting pattern information based on at least one unit library, and scenario pattern information for a customized section that operates according to unique pattern information (SPI) newly generated by the user.

[0271] Therefore, the rendering application 111 can generate a scenario that controls the light emission pattern of the lighting device 300 for a predetermined period of time according to the scenario pattern information.

[0272] In this way, the directing application 111 can not only reuse the existing library, but also support the user (here, the director) in freely configuring a part of the scenario according to the lighting pattern input by the user according to the needs of the user. In this way, the directing application 111 can provide a high degree of freedom to the scenario generation process and can include lighting patterns specialized for each scenario. As a result, the scenario generation method according to the embodiment of the present invention enables processing based on a wider variety of lighting devices 300.

[0273] At this time, according to the present embodiment, the directing application 111 can store and manage the self pattern information (SPI) as one library.

[0274] Specifically, in this embodiment, the performance application 111 can assign library identification information to the self-pattern information (SPI), and can store and operate the self-pattern information (SPI) to which the library identification information is assigned as one library.

[0275] Therefore, in the scenario generating method according to the embodiment of the present invention, by using the rendering application 111, it is possible to easily generate a library even during the scenario generating process, and to support the subsequent use of the library.

[0276] In addition, in this embodiment, the rendering application 111 can generate a scenario based on 3) the self pattern information (SPI).

[0277] That is, in this embodiment, a scenario based on 3) (e.g., Scenario 3) may be data that sets autonomous pattern information (SPI) that operates during a predetermined time. In the following description, descriptions that overlap with the above description may be omitted.

[0278] Specifically, in this embodiment, the directing application 111 can obtain unique pattern information (SPI) that specifies a specific lighting pattern to be operated for the entire period during which the scenario is executed based on user (here, the director) input.

[0279] In addition, in this embodiment, the directing application 111 can set the acquired self pattern information (SPI) as scenario pattern information for the corresponding scenario.

[0280] Therefore, the directing application 111 can generate a scenario that controls the light emission pattern of the lighting device 300 for a predetermined time according to the scenario pattern information.

[0281] Therefore, the directing application 111 can execute an entire scenario according to the lighting pattern input by a user (here, a director).

[0282] Meanwhile, referring to FIG. 11 further, in this embodiment, when the directing application 111 generates a scenario using at least one unit library, it can set attribute change information (PCI) for each unit library.

[0283] In other words, the attribute change information (PCI) may be information that changes the lighting pattern setting values ​​of each parameter (in this embodiment, whether or not lighting is present, color, brightness and / or dynamic effects) for a specified section for the lighting pattern information of an already generated library.

[0284] That is, in this embodiment, the directing application 111 can set attribute change information (PCI) for each unit library in the process of generating the scenario in the same manner as the attribute change information (PCI) generating method described in the library generating step above. For detailed description, the description related to the attribute change information (PCI) in the library generating step above applies mutatis mutandis.

[0285] Therefore, when creating a new scenario, the production application 111 can easily generate scenarios of various types at low cost by reusing the existing library.

[0286] In addition, in this embodiment, the directing application 111 can realize an execution interval setting function and a library grouping function based on each unit library in the same manner as the execution interval setting function and the library grouping function described in the library generating step. For detailed description, the description related to the execution interval setting function and the library grouping function in the library generating step described above applies mutatis mutandis.

[0287] Meanwhile, in this embodiment, the production application 111 can generate the scenario including a seat-specific scenario.

[0288] Here, the seat-specific scenario in this embodiment refers to a scenario in which the scenario identification information corresponding to each seat where the lighting device 300 is placed in a given space (e.g., a performance hall) is the same, but the scenario pattern information according to the corresponding scenario is set differently.

[0289] That is, in this embodiment, the directing application 111 can generate scenarios including seat-specific scenarios that control the lighting device 300 to operate with different light emission patterns depending on the position of the seat where the lighting device 300 is placed.

[0290] For example, the production application 111 can generate a first scenario that includes a seat-specific scenario that is a first scenario-first seat-first scenario pattern information and a first scenario-second seat-second scenario pattern information.

[0291] In other words, the performance application 111 can generate a first scenario based on a seat-specific scenario in which the lighting pattern setting value of the first scenario executed based on the lighting device 300 placed in the first seat and the lighting pattern setting value of the first scenario executed based on the lighting device 300 placed in the second seat are assigned differently.

[0292] As a result, when the performance application 111 simultaneously executes a first scenario in which different lighting patterns are set for each seat, the lighting devices 300 arranged at each seat can be made to operate collectively with different lighting patterns, thereby realizing integrated lighting control processing by a plurality of lighting devices 300 in the corresponding space.

[0293] That is, in an embodiment, the performance application 111 can realize an integrated lighting control process in which different lighting devices 300 operate collectively with lighting patterns specific to each lighting device to produce a specific overall shape based on the above-mentioned seat-specific scenario.

[0294] Therefore, the directing application 111 can control a plurality of lighting devices 300 arranged for each of many seats in a performance hall to perform a specialized light-emitting operation for each seat. In addition, the directing application 111 can express a specific shape planned by a director using the light output from the plurality of lighting devices 300 for each seat.

[0295] In this embodiment, the production application 111 also generates performance preparation data (see S105 in FIG. 4).

[0296] Here, the performance preparation data according to this embodiment refers to data that predefines various lighting patterns for each seat where the lighting device 300 is placed for the above-mentioned integrated lighting control process, and refers to data that must already be stored in the lighting device 300 before the performance begins.

[0297] Specifically, in this embodiment, the directing application 111 can generate the performance preparation data including at least one library and / or scenario generated as described above.

[0298] In this case, according to the present embodiment, the directing application 111 may generate different performance preparation data for each seat.

[0299] Furthermore, in this embodiment, production application 111 distributes performance preparation data (see S107 in FIG. 4).

[0300] Specifically, in this embodiment, the directing application 111 can distribute the performance preparation data to a plurality of lighting devices 300 in cooperation with the central server 200 and / or the cheering stick terminal 100-2.

[0301] Specifically, in this embodiment, the directing application 111 can transmit the generated performance preparation data to the central server 200 .

[0302] The central server 200 can transmit the received performance preparation data to a plurality of cheering rod terminals 100-2.

[0303] At this time, each of the plurality of cheering rod terminals 100-2 is matched one-to-one with each of the plurality of lighting devices 300 and linked thereto.

[0304] In this embodiment, each of the multiple cheering rod terminals 100-2 is mapped one-to-one with each of the multiple lighting devices 300 based on a terminal identification code that identifies each cheering rod terminal 100-2 and a device identification code that identifies each of the multiple lighting devices 300, and can be paired with each other to operate.

[0305] Therefore, the plurality of cheering rod terminals 100-2 can provide the performance preparation data received from the central server 200 to the lighting device 300 matched to each cheering rod terminal 100-2.

[0306] At this time, in this embodiment, the plurality of cheering rod terminals 100-2 can provide the performance preparation data to the lighting device 300 matched to each cheering rod terminal 100-2 based on a Bluetooth pairing method or the like.

[0307] Therefore, the lighting devices 300 can receive, store, and manage performance preparation data corresponding to the seat where each lighting device 300 is located.

[0308] In another embodiment, when seat information corresponding to the lighting device 300 is input through an input terminal installed in the performance venue (e.g., an input terminal installed in a kiosk), the input terminal can provide performance preparation data for the corresponding seat via short-range communication.

[0309] FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating an example of a method for transmitting a lighting device control signal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0310] Referring to FIG. 12, in this embodiment, the rendering application 111 transmits lighting device control signals and realizes integrated lighting control processing (see S109 in FIG. 4).

[0311] Here, the lighting device control signal (hereinafter, control signal) according to this embodiment refers to a signal that commands execution / interruption / termination of at least one library and / or scenario included in the performance preparation data stored in the lighting device 300.

[0312] FIG. 13 is an example of a particular shape designed for integrated lighting control processing according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0313] Also, referring to FIG. 13, the integrated lighting control process according to this embodiment refers to a lighting device 300-based processing method in which different lighting devices 300 operate collectively with lighting patterns specific to each lighting device to create a specific shape (SS: for example, a bird shape as shown in FIG. 13) as a whole.

[0314] Specifically, in this embodiment, the directing application 111 can cooperate with the central server 200 to provide control signals to a plurality of lighting devices 300 according to a planned integrated lighting control process.

[0315] Specifically, in this embodiment, the directing application 111 can send the control signal to the central server 200 .

[0316] The central server 200 may transmit the received control signal to the lighting devices 300 in a broadcasting manner in conjunction with at least one repeater R (see FIG. 12).

[0317] For example, when a unicast method different from a broadcasting method is used, the central server 200 must transmit the data packet to be transmitted (in this embodiment, for example, a control signal) to a number of recipients (in this embodiment, for example, a number of lighting devices 300) multiple times, which may result in a decrease in network efficiency due to duplicate transmission of the same packet. Also, when a unicast method different from a broadcasting method is used, the central server 200 must receive an acknowledgment (for example, an ack message) corresponding to reception of the transmitted data packet (in this embodiment, for example, a control signal) from each of the many recipients (in this embodiment, for example, a number of lighting devices 300), which may result in a deterioration in communication conditions and thus hinder smooth data communication.

[0318] Therefore, in an embodiment of the present invention, the central server 200 can transmit the control signal to the multiple lighting devices 300 in cooperation with a repeater R (see FIG. 12) using a one-to-many communication broadcasting method that transmits a data packet (in this embodiment, a control signal) to the entire network to which the host of one lighting device 30 belongs without separately designating a recipient.

[0319] That is, in the present embodiment, the central server 200 transmits the control signal to the plurality of lighting devices 300 based on a broadcasting method, thereby minimizing communication leakage of the control signal and minimizing communication sync errors between the plurality of lighting devices 300, thereby improving communication efficiency. Note that the communication sync refers to, for example, an independent communication method of serial communication.

[0320] Then, in this embodiment, the lighting devices 300 that receive a control signal from the central server 200 can perform light emission control according to the received control signal.

[0321] Specifically, in this embodiment, the lighting devices 300 may control the light source unit 360 of each lighting device 300 according to a light emission pattern based on the received control signal, thereby performing light emission control based on the control signal. A detailed description of this will be described later in the processing method of the lighting device 300 control board.

[0322] The directing application 111 according to the embodiment of the present invention can realize integrated lighting control processing according to the control signal.

[0323] In the present embodiment, the directing application 111 can store performance preparation data including at least one library and / or scenario in advance in each of the plurality of lighting devices 300. Then, the directing application 111 can transmit a control signal instructing execution / pause / end of at least one of the library and / or scenario to the plurality of lighting devices 300 in a broadcasting manner. In this way, the directing application 111 can cause the plurality of lighting devices 300 to perform light emission collectively according to a light emission pattern of a predetermined library and / or scenario according to the corresponding control signal.

[0324] As a result, when rendering application 111 transmits small-volume, high-speed control signals to multiple lighting devices 300, it is possible to operate multiple lighting devices 300 with different light emission patterns.

[0325] -How to process the lighting device control board- Hereinafter, a method of controlling a lighting device 300 performed by the lighting device control system 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0326] Descriptions that overlap with those of the lighting device control method described above may be omitted.

[0327] FIG. 14 is a flowchart illustrating a processing method of the lighting device 300 control board according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0328] 14, a director's terminal 100-1 of a lighting device control system 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention generates and transmits performance preparation data (S201).

[0329] In other words, the performance preparation data according to this embodiment means data that predefines various lighting patterns for each seat where the lighting device 300 is placed for integrated lighting control processing according to an embodiment of the present invention, and means data that must already be stored in the lighting device 300 before the performance begins.

[0330] Specifically, in this embodiment, the director's terminal 100-1 can generate the performance preparation data including at least one library and / or scenario generated as described above.

[0331] In addition, in this embodiment, the director terminal 100-1 can transmit the generated performance preparation data to the central server 200.

[0332] In addition, in this embodiment, the central server 200 of the lighting device control system 1000 distributes the received performance preparation data (see S203 in FIG. 14).

[0333] In addition, in this embodiment, the central server 200 can distribute the performance preparation data received from the director terminal 100-1 to a plurality of lighting devices 300 in conjunction with the cheering pole terminal 100-2 of the lighting device control system 1000.

[0334] In addition, in this embodiment, the central server 200 can transmit the received performance preparation data to a plurality of cheering rod terminals 100-2.

[0335] Each of the plurality of cheering rod terminals 100-2 can be matched one-to-one with each of the plurality of lighting devices 300 and linked to each other.

[0336] In this embodiment, each of the multiple cheering rod terminals 100-2 is mapped one-to-one with each of the multiple lighting devices 300 based on a terminal identification code that identifies each cheering rod terminal 100-2 and a device identification code that identifies each of the multiple lighting devices 300, and can be paired with each other to operate.

[0337] Therefore, the plurality of cheering rod terminals 100-2 can provide the performance preparation data received from the central server 200 to the lighting device 300 matched to each cheering rod terminal 100-2.

[0338] In this embodiment, the plurality of cheering rod terminals 100-2 may provide the performance preparation data to the lighting device 300 matched to each cheering rod terminal 100-2 based on a Bluetooth pairing method or the like.

[0339] Therefore, the lighting devices 300 can receive, store, and manage performance preparation data corresponding to the seat where each lighting device 300 is located.

[0340] In this embodiment, director terminal 100-1 of lighting device control system 1000 transmits a control signal (see S205 in FIG. 14).

[0341] In addition, in this embodiment, the director's terminal 100-1 can transmit the above-mentioned control signals to a plurality of lighting devices 300 in conjunction with the central server 200 of the lighting device control system 1000.

[0342] In other words, the control signal according to the present embodiment means a signal commanding execution / pause / end of at least one library and / or scenario included in the performance preparation data stored in the lighting device 300 .

[0343] Specifically, in this embodiment, the director terminal 100-1 can transmit the control signal to the central server 200.

[0344] The central server 200 may transmit the received control signal to the lighting devices 300 in a broadcasting manner in conjunction with at least one repeater R (see FIG. 12).

[0345] Therefore, the central server 200 can easily and quickly transmit a common control signal to multiple lighting devices 300 while minimizing the communication load associated therewith.

[0346] In this embodiment, the lighting device 300 of the lighting device control system 1000 performs light emission control based on the received control signal (see S207 in FIG. 14).

[0347] Specifically, in this embodiment, the lighting device 300 can perform light emission control in response to a control signal received from the central server 200 .

[0348] In addition, in this embodiment, the plurality of lighting devices 300 can perform light emission control based on the control signal by controlling the light source unit 360 of each lighting device 300 according to a light emission pattern based on the received control signal.

[0349] Specifically, in this embodiment, the lighting device 300 can detect a library and / or a scenario that matches the received control signal based on performance preparation data stored in a storage unit 320.

[0350] For example, when the received first control signal is a signal to execute a first library, the lighting device 300 may read out a first library in the performance preparation data stored in the storage unit 320. As another example, when the received second control signal is a signal to execute a first scenario, the lighting device 300 may read out a first scenario in the performance preparation data stored in the storage unit 320.

[0351] In addition, in this embodiment, the lighting device 300 may control a light emitting operation of the light source unit 360 according to a light emitting pattern corresponding to the detected library and / or scenario.

[0352] In this embodiment, the lighting device 300 can control the light-emitting operation of the light source unit 360 according to the light-emitting pattern information of the detected library, and can also control the light-emitting operation of the light source unit 360 according to the scenario pattern information of the detected scenario.

[0353] For example, the lighting device 300 may control the light emitting operation of the light source unit 360 based on the presence / absence of light emission, color, brightness and / or dynamic effect setting values ​​according to the first light emitting pattern information (e.g., “light on / first color / first brightness / first dynamic effect”) of the read first library.

[0354] In another example, the lighting device 300 may control the light emission operation of the light source unit 360 based on the setting values ​​of emission / non-emission, color, brightness and / or dynamic effect according to the first scenario pattern information of the read first scenario (e.g., “first light emission pattern information of first library / second light emission pattern information of second library / first self pattern information (SPI)”, etc.).

[0355] In addition, in this embodiment, the lighting device 300 may control the light emitting operation of the light source unit 360 according to a light emitting pattern that reflects attribute change information (PCI) for each of the detected libraries and / or unit libraries in a scenario.

[0356] That is, in this embodiment, the lighting device 300 can control the light emitting operation of the light source unit 360 according to light emitting pattern information reflecting attribute change information (PCI) of the detected library, and can also control the light emitting operation of the light source unit 360 according to scenario pattern information reflecting attribute change information (PCI) for each unit library in the detected scenario.

[0357] Therefore, the lighting device 300 can efficiently realize various types of light emitting patterns according to the per-library attribute change information (PCI).

[0358] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the lighting device control system 1000 realizes an integrated lighting control process (see S209 in FIG. 14).

[0359] As described above, the lighting devices 300 are collectively controlled to emit light based on a predetermined control signal, so that the lighting device control system 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention can realize an integrated lighting control process in which different lighting devices 300 are collectively operated with lighting patterns specific to each lighting device to create a specific overall shape.

[0360] In this manner, the lighting device control system 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention stores performance preparation data including at least one library and / or scenario in advance in each of the plurality of lighting devices 300, and then provides control signals to the plurality of lighting devices 300 instructing execution / interruption / termination of at least one of the libraries and / or scenarios. The provided control signals are analyzed based on the performance preparation data already stored in each of the plurality of lighting devices 300, and the plurality of lighting devices 300 are caused to perform light emission operations collectively according to the light emission pattern of a predetermined library and / or scenario based on the control signal. As a result, an integrated lighting control process capable of performing various different types of light emission operations collectively using each of the plurality of lighting devices 300 can be realized through an efficient process in a smooth communication environment.

[0361] As described above, the lighting device 300, lighting device control method, and director terminal according to the embodiment of the present invention generate a library and / or scenario for controlling the light emission of the lighting device 300, and execute light emission control for the plurality of lighting devices 300 based on the generated library and / or scenario, thereby collectively executing light emission operations corresponding to the plurality of lighting devices 300 arranged for each of the plurality of seats in a performance hall, for example. In other words, by using the lighting device 300, lighting device control method, and director terminal according to the embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to relatively easily and accurately execute light emission operations corresponding to the plurality of lighting devices 300 collectively.

[0362] In addition, the lighting device 300, lighting device control method, and director terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention have the effect of realizing a processing method (in an embodiment, an integrated lighting control process) in which different lighting devices 300 operate collectively with lighting patterns specialized for each lighting device to create a specific shape overall by controlling the lighting of multiple lighting devices 300 based on the library and / or scenario.

[0363] In addition, the lighting device 300, lighting device control method, and director terminal according to the embodiment of the present invention support the reuse of the libraries and / or scenarios, so that when a new library and / or scenario is required in addition to the existing libraries and / or scenarios, it is possible to actively utilize (reuse or repurpose) the already created libraries and / or scenarios and generate a new library and / or new scenario by simply making certain modifications, without having to create a new library and / or scenario from start to finish.
