[0001] The present invention relates to a wireless lighting control system, and more particularly to a wireless lighting control system capable of remotely controlling multiple lighting devices to generate lighting patterns and improve lighting effects. [Background technology]

[0002] Generally, a lighting device is a device that reflects, refracts, and transmits light from a light source to achieve the purpose of illumination. Lighting devices can be classified into indirect lighting devices, semi-indirect lighting devices, general diffusion lighting devices, semi-direct lighting devices, and direct lighting devices according to the light distribution.

[0003] With the development of technology, lighting devices are used for various purposes. For example, lighting devices are used to create a media facade. A media facade is a building that has a media function realized by attaching lighting devices to the exterior wall.

[0004] As another example, lighting devices are used as small cheering goods at sporting events or concerts held in environments below a certain level of illuminance. However, in such environments, multiple lighting fixtures are individually controlled, making it difficult to create systematic lighting patterns or shapes. Also, it is not easy to achieve the desired cheering effect just by using the light sources arranged in the lighting device. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] Therefore, the present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a wireless lighting control system that can remotely control a plurality of lighting devices in groups to generate lighting patterns and improve lighting effects.

[0009] The present invention further includes a server that maps identification information of the second lighting devices, identification information of the second smart devices, and seat information where users of the second smart devices are located on a seating layout plan based on mapping request signals respectively received from the second smart devices, and transmits a mapping completion signal to the first smart device.

[0010] The second smart device directly receives input of the seat information from a user of the second smart device, acquires the seat information from a barcode printed on an admission ticket, or acquires the seat information from a wireless communication tag attached to the seat.

[0011] If the control pattern information includes identification information of contents to be displayed on the display unit, the second smart device transmits a contents request signal to the server and receives contents from the server.

[0012] When an electrical connection with the first smart device is detected, the first lighting device transmits a confirmation request signal to the first smart device to confirm whether a lighting control application is installed, and the first smart device transmits an application request signal to a server and receives the lighting control application from the server. Effect of the Invention

[0013] According to the present invention, it is possible to control a plurality of lighting devices by group, thereby enabling a variety of lighting patterns to be generated for sporting events, concerts, etc., and improving the cheering effect through the various lighting patterns.

[0014] Lighting patterns can be generated utilizing the resources of the lighting device and the resources of smart devices linked to the lighting device, thereby enhancing the lighting effect. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0020] FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration of a wireless lighting control system 1 according to an embodiment.

[0021] 1, a wireless lighting control system 1 according to an embodiment includes a plurality of lighting devices 100A, 100B, 100C, and 100D, a plurality of smart devices 200A, 200B, 200C, and 200D, a network 300, and a server 400. The plurality of lighting devices 100A, 100B, 100C, and 100D include a first lighting device 100A operating as a master and second lighting devices 100B, 100C, and 100D operating as slaves. The first lighting device 100A is electrically connected to the first smart device 200A, and the second lighting devices 100B, 100C, and 100D are electrically connected to the second smart devices 200B, 200C, and 200D. Hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, the first lighting device 100A and the second lighting devices 100B, 100C, and 100D will be referred to as "lighting devices 100", and the first smart device 200A and the second smart devices 200B, 200C, and 200D will be referred to as "smart devices 200".

[0022] The lighting device 100 refers to a device that fixes or protects a light source by reflecting, refracting, or transmitting light from the light source. Such a lighting device 100 may have various shapes. As an example, the lighting device 100 may have a rod shape so that the user can hold it. As another example, the lighting device 100 may have a shape that can be worn on a part of the user's body.

[0023] According to the embodiment, the lighting device 100 can detect an electrical connection with the smart device 200. When the electrical connection with the smart device 200 is detected, the lighting device 100 transmits and receives data and / or signals to and from the smart device 200. For example, the lighting device 100 transmits a confirmation request signal to the smart device 200 to confirm whether a lighting control application is installed on the smart device 200.

[0024] As another example, the lighting device 100 receives group-specific control pattern information for the lighting device operating as a slave from the smart device 200. A more detailed description of the configuration of the lighting device 100 will be given later with reference to FIG.

[0025] The smart device 200 may be electrically connected to the lighting device 100. The smart device 200 electrically connected to the lighting device 100 transmits and receives data and / or signals to and from the lighting device 100. For example, the smart device 200 receives a confirmation request signal from the lighting device 100 to confirm whether a lighting control application is installed, and transmits group-specific control pattern information regarding the lighting devices operating as slaves to the lighting device 100.

[0026] The smart device 200 may also communicate with the server 400 via the network 300. According to an embodiment, the smart device 200 transmits at least one of an application request signal for requesting a lighting control application, a mapping request signal, and a content request signal to the server 400, and receives at least one of a lighting control application, a mapping completion signal, and the requested content from the server 400.

[0027] Meanwhile, when the installation of the lighting control application received from the server 400 is completed, the smart device 200 configures and displays a lighting control screen. When the lighting control screen is displayed, the user can set groups for the lighting devices operating as slaves, set control patterns for each group, and input various commands and information related to lighting control.

[0028] The smart device 200 as described above may include a communication device such as a smartphone and a tablet. However, the smart device 200 is not necessarily limited to the communication device as illustrated, and any communication device having a wireless communication function and a display function may be included in the smart device 200. A more detailed description of the configuration of the smart device 200 will be provided below with reference to FIG. 3.

[0029] The server 400 communicates with the lighting device 100 and the smart device 200 via the network 300. As an example, the server 400 receives an application request signal from the smart device 200 and transmits a lighting control application to the smart device 200 in response thereto. As another example, the server 200 receives a mapping request signal from the smart device 200 and transmits a mapping completion signal to the smart device 200. The mapping request signal is a signal requesting mapping of the identification information of the lighting device 100, the identification information 200 of the smart device, and the seat information of the user. As yet another example, the server 400 receives a content request signal from the smart device 200 and transmits the requested content to the smart device 200. The content may be text, images, or videos.

[0030] The configuration of the wireless lighting control system 1 according to an embodiment has been described above with reference to Fig. 1. In Fig. 1, a lighting control application is distributed to the smart device 200 by the server 400. According to another embodiment, the lighting control application may be distributed to the smart device 200 by the lighting device 100.

[0031] FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a configuration of the lighting device 100 shown in FIG.

[0032] Referring to FIG. 2, the lighting device 100 includes a lighting unit 110, a wired communication unit 120, a control unit 130, and a wireless communication unit 140.

[0033] The lighting unit 110 includes one or more light sources. Examples of the light sources include light emitting diodes (LEDs). The lighting unit 110 may include LEDs of different colors. For example, the lighting unit 110 may include at least one of a red LED, a green LED, a blue LED, and a white LED. A wide range of colors can be created by mixing the lights emitted from these LEDs. The mixed color is determined based on the ratio of the intensities of the lights emitted from each LED, and the intensities of the lights emitted from each LED are proportional to the driving currents of the LEDs. That is, the color of the light output from the lighting unit 110 can be controlled by controlling the driving currents of the LEDs. The LEDs may be arranged in a dot pattern, and a specific phrase or image can be displayed by selectively lighting these LEDs.

[0034] In the above description, the light source of the illumination unit 110 is an LED, but the type of the light source is not limited to an LED. According to another embodiment, an organic light emitting diode (OLED) may be used as the light source.

[0035] The wired communication unit 120 is responsible for wired communication between the lighting device 100 and the smart device 200. Although not shown in the figure, the wired communication unit 120 may include a wired communication port (e.g., a USB port). The wired communication port of the wired communication unit 120 of the lighting device 100 is electrically connected to the wired communication port of the wired communication unit 250 of the smart device 200. When the wired communication port of the lighting device 100 is coupled to the wired communication port of the smart device 200, signals and / or data are transmitted and received between the lighting device 100 and the smart device 200. For example, a confirmation request signal for confirming whether or not a lighting control application is installed is transmitted to the smart device 200, and a response signal thereto is received from the smart device 200.

[0036] The wireless communication unit 140 is responsible for wireless communication between the lighting device 100 and other lighting devices. To this end, the wireless communication unit 140 can support a wireless communication scheme. An example of the wireless communication scheme is ZigBee.

[0037] ZigBee is a wireless personal area network standard that is a wireless personal area network that connects peripherals operating at 868 MHz, 902-928 MHz, and 2.4 GHz. ZigBee is based on the IEEE 802.15 standard approved by the IEEE-SA. ZigBee allows data to be exchanged at speeds up to 250 Kbps between peripherals in a wireless personal area network, usually separated by distances of up to 50 meters.

[0038] In the above explanation, ZigBee has been given as an example of a wireless communication scheme supported by wireless communication unit 140, but this is not necessarily limited to this, and wireless communication unit 140 may also support one or more other wireless communication schemes in addition to the one given as an example.

[0039] The control unit 130 connects and controls each component of the lighting device 100. For example, the control unit 130 detects whether or not there is an electrical connection between the lighting device 100 and the smart device 200. When the connection with the smart device 200 is detected, the control unit 130 transmits a confirmation request signal to the smart device 200 to confirm whether or not a lighting control application is installed.

[0040] Furthermore, the control unit 130 controls the lighting pattern of the lighting unit 110 based on the control pattern information. The control pattern information may include at least one of a lighting color, a lighting brightness, a lighting on time, a lighting off time, and a lighting blinking speed. The control pattern information as illustrated may be predefined or may be directly set by a user.

[0041] The configuration of the lighting device 100 shown in FIG. 1 has been described above with reference to FIG. 2. As shown in FIG. 2, the lighting device 100 may omit the power supply unit. In this case, the lighting device 100 is electrically connected to the smart device 200 and then operates by receiving power from the smart device 200. As another example, the lighting device 100 may further include a power supply unit (dry battery). Such a power supply unit may be replaced with another power supply unit after being separated from the lighting device 100, or may be charged by power supplied from an external source.

[0042] FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a configuration of the smart device 200 shown in FIG.

[0043] Referring to FIG. 3, the smart device 200 includes an input unit 210, a display unit 220, a storage unit 230, a control unit 240, a wired communication unit 250, and a wireless communication unit 260.

[0044] The input unit 210 receives various information and / or commands from a user. For example, it may receive control pattern information on the lighting unit 110 and / or the display unit 220, an operation standby command, a lighting control execution command for starting lighting control, and a lighting control end command for ending lighting control currently being executed. To this end, the input unit 210 may include at least one of a joystick, a mouse, a keypad, and a keyboard. In this case, the keyboard may be realized as hardware or software.

[0045] When the lighting control application is driven, the display unit 220 may display a lighting control screen. According to an embodiment, various information and / or icons may be arranged on the lighting control screen. For example, a seating arrangement diagram of a location where a user is located, an icon for selecting seat information of the user, a group setting icon for setting a group for the second lighting device and the second smart device, an icon corresponding to a preset lighting control pattern, an icon for inputting a lighting control execution command, an icon for inputting a lighting control end command, etc. may be arranged. However, the icons arranged on the lighting control screen are not limited to those exemplified, and the types and arrangement positions of the icons included in the lighting control screen may be configurable by the user.

[0046] The display unit 220 may be controlled by control pattern information. The control pattern information may be selected from predefined control pattern information or may be directly set by a user.

[0047] The storage unit 230 may include a hard disk drive, an optical disk drive, a magneto-optical disk drive, a non-volatile memory, a volatile memory, or a combination thereof. Such a storage unit 230 stores data required for the smart device 200 to operate. For example, the storage unit 230 stores a lighting control application. The lighting control application is an application that can control at least one of the display unit 220 of the smart device 200 and the lighting unit 110 of the lighting device 100.

[0048] The lighting control application may be implemented as a mobile application and may be distributed by the server 400 via the network 300 or may be distributed by the lighting device 100.

[0049] The wired communication unit 250 is responsible for wired communication between the smart device 200 and the lighting device 100. Although not shown in the figure, the wired communication unit 250 may include a wired communication port. The wired communication port of the wired communication unit 250 of the smart device 200 is electrically connected to the wired communication port of the wired communication unit 120 of the lighting device 100. When the wired communication port of the smart device 200 is coupled to the wired communication port of the lighting device 100, signals and / or data are transmitted and received between the smart device 200 and the lighting device 100. For example, a confirmation request signal for confirming whether or not a lighting control application is installed is received from the lighting device 100, and a response signal thereto is transmitted to the lighting device 100.

[0050] The wireless communication unit 260 is responsible for wireless communication between the smart device 200 and the server 400. To this end, the wireless communication unit 260 can support one or more wireless communication methods, including, but not limited to, Ultra Wide Band (UWB), Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), ZigBee, Radio Frequency (RF), and Infrared Data Association (IrDA).

[0051] The controller 240 connects and controls each component in the smart device 200. For example, when a confirmation request signal for confirming whether a lighting control application is installed is received from the lighting device 100, the controller 240 confirms whether the corresponding application is installed in the smart device 200. If the confirmation result shows that the lighting control application is not installed, the controller 240 transmits an application request signal to the server 400. Thereafter, when the lighting control application is received from the server 400, the controller 240 installs the received lighting control application.

[0052] When the lighting control application is executed after the installation of the lighting control application is completed, the controller 240 configures a lighting control screen. Through the lighting control screen, the user can input information and data required for lighting control, set a group for lighting control, and input a command for lighting control.

[0053] 4 and 5 are diagrams illustrating an embodiment of the operation of the wireless lighting control system 1 according to the embodiment.

[0054] Prior to the description, it is assumed that the first lighting device 100A operating as a master and the second lighting device 100B operating as a slave are located within the wireless control range of the first lighting device 100A.

[0055] First, the first lighting device 100A detects an electrical connection with the first smart device 200A (S400). Then, the first lighting device 100A transmits a confirmation request signal to the first smart device 200A to confirm whether a lighting control application is installed (S405).

[0056] The first smart device 200A checks whether a lighting control application is installed in the first smart device 200A. If the check result shows that the lighting control application is not installed or needs to be updated, the first smart device 200A transmits an application request signal requesting the installation of the lighting control application or an update request signal requesting the update of the lighting control application to the server 400 (S410).

[0057] The server 400 transmits the requested lighting control application to the first smart device 200A via the network 300 (S415).

[0058] When the lighting control application is installed in the first smart device 200A and then executed, a lighting control screen is configured and displayed on the display unit 220 of the first smart device 200A.

[0059] Thereafter, when the user inputs an action standby command through the lighting control screen, the input action standby command is transmitted to the first lighting device 100A through the wired communication unit 250 (S420).

[0060] The first lighting device 100A transmits the standby command received from the first smart device 200A to the second lighting device 100B by wireless communication (S425).

[0061] The second lighting device 100B notifies the user that the standby command has been received by controlling the lighting unit 110 based on the standby command received from the first lighting device 100A (S430). For example, the second lighting device 100B notifies the user that the standby command has been received by blinking the light source of the lighting unit 110 at regular intervals for a certain period of time.

[0062] After confirming that the standby command has been received, the user couples the second lighting device 100B to the second smart device 200B, so that the second lighting device 100B detects an electrical connection with the second smart device 200B (S435).

[0063] When the electrical connection with the second smart device 200B is detected in this manner, the second lighting device 100B transmits a confirmation request signal to the second smart device 200B to confirm whether a lighting control application is installed (S440).

[0064] Thereafter, the second smart device 200B checks whether a lighting control application is installed. If the check result shows that the lighting control application is not installed or needs to be updated, the second smart device 200B transmits an application request signal requesting the installation of the lighting control application or an update request signal requesting the update of the lighting control application to the server 400 (S445).

[0065] The server 400 transmits the requested lighting control application to the second smart device 200B via the network 300 (S450).

[0066] When the lighting control application is installed in the second smart device 200B and executed, a lighting control screen is configured. When the user of the second smart device 200B inputs location information where the user is located through the lighting control screen, a seating plan for the corresponding location can be searched and displayed as shown in FIG. 6 (S455). For example, a seating plan for a sports stadium or concert hall where the user is located is searched and displayed. At this time, the seating plan may be searched for in the storage unit 230 of the second smart device 200B. As another example, the seating plan may be searched for in the server 300 and provided to the second smart device 200B.

[0067] In the lighting control screen of FIG. 6, the user of the second smart device 200B can directly input his / her own seat information by selecting his / her own seat (S460).

[0068] Meanwhile, the seat information may be input automatically. For example, a barcode (two-dimensional barcode, three-dimensional barcode) including seat information may be printed on an admission ticket held by a user of the second smart device 200B. When the user scans the barcode on the admission ticket using the second smart device 200B, the second smart device 200B can recognize the barcode and obtain the seat information. For this purpose, the second smart device 200B may further include a photographing unit (not shown) for scanning the barcode and obtaining an image. The second smart device 200B may further include a barcode recognition program for recognizing the seat information from the image obtained by the photographing unit. In this case, the barcode recognition program may be implemented so as to be included in the lighting control application.

[0069] As another example, an NFC tag recording seat information of the corresponding seat may be attached to each seat, and when a user sits down in his / her seat and brings the second smart device 200B close to the NFC tag, the second smart device 200B can acquire the seat information from the NFC tag. In this way, when the second smart device 200B automatically acquires the seat information, the step S455 of displaying the seating layout may be omitted.

[0070] 6, when the "seat selected" icon 22 is selected, the control unit 240 of the second smart device 200B transmits a mapping request signal to the server 400 (S470). The mapping request signal may include identification information (e.g., a serial number) of the second lighting device 100B, identification information of the second smart device 200B, and seat information.

[0071] The server 400 maps the information included in the mapping request signal to each seat on the seating plan (S475). When the identification information is mapped to all the seats on the seating plan, the server 400 transmits a mapping completion signal to the first smart device 200A acting as the master (S480).

[0072] Then, a lighting control screen including a seating plan is displayed on the display unit 220 of the first smart device 200A (S485). The user of the first smart device 200A can set a group for lighting control by referring to the seating plan (S490). For example, the user can set a group for lighting control by dragging a specific area of ​​the seating plan to draw a boundary 24 as shown in FIG. 7.

[0073] After setting the groups, the user can set control pattern information for each group (S495). The control pattern information can include at least one of control pattern information for the lighting unit 110 and control pattern information for the display unit 220. The control pattern information for the lighting unit 110 can include a color of the light, brightness of the light, a time to turn on the light, a time to turn off the light, and a blinking speed of the light. The control pattern information for the display unit 220 can include a color of the screen, brightness of the screen, a time to start displaying the screen, a blinking interval of the screen, a time to end displaying the screen, and identification information of the content displayed on the screen. The user can select each group and set the control pattern information. Specifically, when the user selects inside the boundary 24 of a predetermined group, a menu for setting the control pattern information for the corresponding group is displayed, and the user can set the control pattern information for the corresponding group using the displayed menu.

[0074] After setting the control pattern information for each group, when the 'Set' icon 23 is selected, the first smart device 200A transmits the control pattern information for each group to the first lighting device 100A (S500).

[0075] The first lighting device 100A transmits the group-by-group control pattern information to the second lighting device 100B by wireless communication (S505).

[0076] The second lighting device 100B transmits the group-specific control pattern information received from the first lighting device 100A to the second smart device 200B. The second smart device 200B checks the content of the group-specific control pattern information and then determines whether communication with the server 400 is necessary (S515). For example, if the control pattern information of the display unit 220 is found to include content identification information, the second smart device 200B transmits a content request signal requesting the corresponding content to the server 400 (S520).

[0077] The server 400 searches for the content requested by the second smart device 200B and transmits it to the second smart device 200B (S525). Then, the server 400 transmits a transmission completion signal to the first smart device 200A notifying that the transmission of the content is completed (S530).

[0078] Thereafter, when a lighting control execution command is input by the user, the first smart device 200A transmits the input lighting control execution command to the first lighting device 100A (S535).

[0079] The first lighting control device 100A transmits a lighting control execution command to the second lighting device 100B (S540).

[0080] The second lighting device 100B transmits the lighting control execution command received from the first lighting device 100A to the second smart device 200B (S545).

[0081] Thereafter, the lighting unit 110 of the second lighting device 100B and the display unit 220 of the second smart device 200B are controlled (S550, S555) according to the group-specific control pattern information received in the previous steps (S505, S510).

[0082] The operation and lighting control screen of the wireless lighting control system 1 according to an embodiment have been described above with reference to Figs. 4 to 7. Some of the steps shown in Figs. 4 and 5 may be omitted. For example, if a plurality of second lighting devices are arranged at each seat in the order of their identification information (e.g., serial numbers), the step of displaying a seating layout diagram on the second smart device 200B (S455) and the step of the user inputting his / her own seat information (S460) may be omitted.

[0083] According to the above-mentioned method, the lighting units 110 of the second lighting devices 100B, 100C, and 100D and the display units 220 of the second smart devices 200B, 200C, and 200D can be controlled simultaneously for each group, thereby improving the visual cheering effect compared to the case where only the lighting units 110 of the second lighting devices 100B, 100C, and 100D are controlled. In addition, various contents such as text, image, and video can be displayed collectively through the second smart devices 200B, 200C, and 200D, allowing various types of visual cheering.
