[0003] With the development of technology, lighting devices are used in various applications. As an example, lighting devices are used to produce a media facade. A media facade means attaching lighting devices to the outer wall of a building and realizing a media function.

[0004] As another example, lighting devices may also be used as small cheering goods in sports competitions, concerts, etc. held in an environment with an illuminance below a certain level. However, in such an environment, since a plurality of lighting fixtures are individually controlled, there is an aspect that it is difficult to generate a systematic lighting pattern or shape. Also, it is not easy to obtain the expected cheering effect only by using the light sources arranged in the lighting devices.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a wireless lighting control system capable of remotely controlling a plurality of lighting devices by group to generate a lighting pattern and improving the lighting effect.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] To solve the above-described problems, a wireless lighting control system according to an embodiment includes a first lighting device that is electrically connected to a first smart device and operates as a master, and a plurality of second lighting devices that are respectively electrically connected to a plurality of second smart devices and operate as slaves. When a group for lighting control and group-specific control pattern information are set in the first smart device, the first lighting device transmits the group-specific control pattern information to the plurality of second lighting devices by a wireless communication method, and at least one of the lighting units of the plurality of second lighting devices and the display units of the plurality of second smart devices is controlled based on the group-specific control pattern information.

[0007] The control pattern information includes at least one of control pattern information regarding the lighting unit of the second lighting device and control pattern information regarding the display unit of the second smart device.

[0008] The control pattern information regarding the lighting unit of the second lighting device includes at least one of the color of the lighting, the brightness of the lighting, the lighting-on time, the lighting-off time, and the blinking speed of the lighting. The control pattern information regarding the display unit of the second smart device includes at least one of the color of the screen, the brightness of the screen, the screen display start time, the screen display end time, the blinking interval of the screen, and the identification information of the content displayed through the screen.

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

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

[0011] When the second smart device includes content identification information to be displayed through the display unit in the control pattern information, the second smart device transmits a content request signal to the server and receives content from the server.

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

Advantages of the Invention

[0013] According to the present invention, a plurality of lighting devices can be controlled by group, various lighting patterns can be generated in sports competitions, concerts, etc., and the cheering effect by various lighting patterns can be improved.

[0014] Since the lighting pattern can be generated by utilizing the resources of the lighting device and the resources of the smart device linked with the lighting device, the lighting effect can be increased.

[0019] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the drawings, the same reference numerals indicate the same components.

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

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

[0022] The lighting device 100 refers to a device that reflects, refracts, or transmits the light of a light source to fix or protect the light source. Such a lighting device 100 can have various shapes. As an example, the lighting device 100 can have a rod shape so that a user can hold it. As another example, the lighting device 100 can also have a shape that can be worn on a part of a user's body.

[0023] According to the embodiment, the lighting device 100 can detect an electrical connection with the smart device 200. When an electrical connection with the smart device 200 is detected, the lighting device 100 transmits and receives data and / or signals with 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 control pattern information regarding lighting devices operating as slaves from the smart device 200. A more specific description of the configuration of the lighting device 100 will be described later with reference to FIG. 2.

[0025] The smart device 200 can be electrically connected to the lighting device 100. The smart device 200 that is electrically connected to the lighting device 100 transmits and receives data and / or signals with 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 device operating as a slave to the lighting device 100.

[0026] The smart device 200 can also communicate with the server 400 via the network 300. According to one embodiment, the smart device 200 transmits at least one of an application request signal, a mapping request signal, and a content request signal for requesting a lighting control application 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] On the other hand, if 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 a group for the lighting device operating as a slave, set a group-specific control pattern, or input various commands and information related to the control of lighting.

[0028] The smart device 200 as described above can include a communication device such as a smartphone and a tablet. However, it is not necessarily limited to the communication device as exemplified by the smart device 200, and any communication device having a wireless communication function and a display function can be included in the smart device 200. A more specific description regarding the configuration of the smart device 200 will be described later with reference to FIG. 3.

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

[0030] As described above, the configuration of the wireless lighting control system 1 according to one embodiment has been described with reference to FIG. 1. In FIG. 1, the case where the lighting control application is distributed from server 400 to smart device 200 has been described as an example. According to another embodiment, the lighting control application can also be distributed from lighting device 100 to smart device 200.

[0031] FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the configuration of lighting device 100 shown in FIG. 1.

[0032] Referring to FIG. 2, 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 source include Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs). The lighting unit 110 can include LEDs of different colors. For example, it can include at least one of a red LED, a green LED, a blue LED, and a white LED. By mixing the light emitted from these LEDs respectively, a wide range of colors can be created. The mixed color is determined based on the ratio of the intensities of the light emitted from each LED, and the intensity of the light emitted from each LED is proportional to the drive current of each LED. That is, by controlling the drive current of each LED, the color of the light output from the lighting unit 110 can be controlled. The plurality of LEDs can be arranged in a dot pattern, and specific phrases or images can also be displayed by selectively lighting them.

[0034] In the above description, LEDs are taken as an example for the light source of the lighting unit 110, but the type of the light source is not limited to LEDs. According to other embodiments, an Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) can also 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 can include a wired communication port (for example, a USB port). The wired communication port provided in the wired communication unit 120 of the lighting device 100 is electrically connected to the wired communication port provided in 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 request signal for confirming whether 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. For this purpose, the wireless communication unit 140 can support a wireless communication method. As an example of the wireless communication method, ZigBee can be cited.

[0037] ZigBee is a wireless personal area network standard, which is a personal area communication network where connections of peripheral devices operating at 868 MHz, 902 - 928 MHz, and 2.4 GHz are made wirelessly. ZigBee is based on the IEEE802.15 standard approved by IEEE - SA. When using ZigBee, data can be exchanged at a speed of up to 250 Kbps between peripheral devices usually separated by a distance of within 50 m in the wireless personal area communication network.

[0038] In the above description, ZigBee is cited as an example of the wireless communication method supported by the wireless communication unit 140, but it is not necessarily limited to this. The wireless communication unit 140 can also support one or more other wireless communication methods in addition to those exemplified.

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

[0040] Also, the control unit 130 controls the lighting pattern of the lighting unit 110 based on the control pattern information. The control pattern information can include at least one of the color of the lighting, the brightness of the lighting, the lighting on - time, the lighting off - time, and the blinking speed of the lighting. The control pattern information as exemplified may be predefined in advance or may be directly set by the 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 power supply unit in the lighting device 100 can be omitted. In this case, after the lighting device 100 is electrically connected to the smart device 200, it operates by receiving power supply from the smart device 200. As another example, the lighting device 100 can be further provided with a power supply unit (dry battery). Such a power supply unit can be replaced with another power supply unit after being separated from the lighting device 100, or can be charged by the power supplied from the outside.

[0042] FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the configuration of the smart device 200 shown in FIG. 1.

[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 inputs of various information and / or commands from the user. For example, it can receive inputs such as control pattern information regarding the lighting unit 110 and / or the display unit 220, an operation standby command, a lighting control execution command to start lighting control, and a lighting control end command to end the ongoing lighting control. For this purpose, the input unit 210 can include at least one of a joystick, a mouse, a keypad, and a keyboard. At this time, the keyboard may be realized in hardware or in software.

[0045] When the display unit 220 is driven by the lighting control application, it can display a lighting control screen. According to an embodiment, various information and / or icons can be arranged on the lighting control screen. For example, a seat layout diagram of the location where the user is located, an icon for the user to select seat information, 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. can 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 can be realized to be settable by the user.

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

[0047] The storage unit 230 can 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 necessary 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 can be realized as a mobile application and can be distributed by the server 400 via the network 300 or 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 can include a wired communication port. The wired communication port provided in the wired communication unit 250 of the smart device 200 is electrically connected to the wired communication port provided in 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 checking whether 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. For this purpose, the wireless communication unit 260 can support one or more wireless communication methods. Examples of wireless communication methods include, but are 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 control unit 240 connects and controls each component within the smart device 200. For example, when a confirmation request signal for checking whether a lighting control application is installed is received from the lighting device 100, it checks whether the corresponding application is installed in the smart device 200. As a result of the check, if the lighting control application is not installed, the control unit 240 transmits an application request signal to the server 400. Thereafter, when the lighting control application is received from the server 400, the control unit 240 installs the received lighting control application.

[0052] After the installation of the lighting control application is completed and the lighting control application is executed, the control unit 240 configures a lighting control screen. The user can input information and data necessary for lighting control through the lighting control screen, set a group for lighting control, or input an instruction for lighting control.

[0053] FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 are diagrams showing an embodiment of the operation of the wireless lighting control system 1 according to an 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 for confirming whether the lighting control application is installed to the first smart device 200A (S405).

[0056] The first smart device 200A checks whether the lighting control application is installed in the first smart device 200A. As a result, if the lighting control application is not installed or needs to be updated, an application request signal for requesting the lighting control application or an update request signal for requesting an update of the lighting control application is transmitted 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 executed after being installed in the first smart device 200A, a lighting control screen is configured. The lighting control screen is displayed through the display unit 220 of the first smart device 200A.

[0059] After that, when the user inputs an operation standby command through the lighting control screen, the input operation 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 operation standby command received from the first smart device 200A to the second lighting device 100B by a wireless communication method (S425).

[0061] The second lighting device 100B controls the lighting unit 110 based on the operation standby command received from the first lighting device 100A to notify the user that the operation standby command has been received (S430). For example, the light source of the lighting unit 110 is blinked at regular time intervals to notify the user having the second lighting device 100B that the operation standby command has been received.

[0062] The user who has confirmed that the operation standby command has been received couples the second lighting device 100B to the second smart device 200B. As a result, an electrical connection with the second smart device 200B is detected in the second lighting device 100B (S435).

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

[0064] After that, the second smart device 200B confirms whether the lighting control application is installed. As a result of the confirmation, if the lighting control application is not installed or an update is required, the second smart device 200B transmits an application request signal for requesting the lighting control application or an update request signal for requesting an update of the lighting control application to the server 400 (S445).

[0065] 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 executed after being installed in the second smart device 200B, a lighting control screen is configured. When the user of the second smart device 200B inputs the location information where he / she is located through the lighting control screen, as shown in FIG. 6, a seat layout diagram for the corresponding location can be searched and displayed (S455). For example, a seat layout diagram of a sports stadium or a concert hall where the user is located can be searched and displayed. At this time, the seat layout diagram may be retrieved from the storage unit 230 of the second smart device 200B. As another example, the seat layout diagram may be retrieved from the server 300 and provided to the second smart device 200B.

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

[0068] On the other hand, the seat information can also be automatically input. As an example, a barcode (2D barcode, 3D barcode) containing seat information can be printed on the admission ticket held by the user of the second smart device 200B. When the user scans the barcode of 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 can further include a photographing unit (not shown) for scanning the barcode and obtaining an image. The second smart device 200B can further include a barcode recognition program for recognizing seat information from the image obtained by the photographing unit. At this time, the barcode recognition program can also be realized to be included in the lighting control application.

[0069] As another example, an NFC tag with seat information of the corresponding seat recorded for each seat can be attached. When the user sits in his or 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, step S455 of displaying the seat layout diagram can be omitted.

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

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

[0072] After that, a lighting control screen including the seat layout diagram 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 seat layout diagram (S490). For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the user can set a group for lighting control by dragging a specific area of the seat layout diagram to draw a boundary 24.

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

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

[0075] The first lighting device 100A transmits the group-specific control pattern information to the second lighting device 100B by means of a wireless communication method (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. After checking the content of the group-specific control pattern information, the second smart device 200B determines whether communication with the server 400 is necessary (S515). For example, as a result of checking the control pattern information of the display unit 220 among the control pattern information, if the content identification information is included, the second smart device 200B transmits a content request signal for 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). After that, the server 400 transmits a transmission completion signal notifying that the transmission of the content has been completed to the first smart device 200A (S530).

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

[0079] The first lighting control device 100A transmits the 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] After that, the lighting unit 110 of the second lighting device 100B and the display unit 220 of the second smart device 200B are controlled by the group-specific control pattern information received in the previous stages (S505, S510) (S550, S555).

[0082] As described above, with reference to FIGS. 4 to 7, the operation of the wireless lighting control system 1 and the lighting control screen according to an embodiment have been described. Some of the stages shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 can also be omitted. For example, if a plurality of second lighting devices are arranged in each seat in the order of identification information (e.g., serial number), the stage (S455) of displaying the seat layout diagram on the second smart device 200B and the stage (S460) of the user inputting their own seat information can be omitted.

[0083] According to the method described above, since the lighting units 110 of the second lighting devices 100B, 100C, 100D and the display units 220 of the second smart devices 200B, 200C, 200D can be controlled simultaneously for each group, the visual cheering effect can be improved as compared with the case of controlling only the lighting units 110 of the plurality of second lighting devices 100B, 100C, 100D. In addition, since various contents such as text, image, or video can be collectively displayed through the plurality of second smart devices 200B, 200C, 200D, visual cheering in various ways is possible.

[0084] As described above, embodiments of the present invention have been described. In addition to the embodiments described above, embodiments of the present invention can also be realized through a medium including computer-readable code / instructions for controlling at least one processing element of the embodiments described above, for example, a computer-readable medium. The medium can correspond to a medium / en each medium that enables storage and / or transmission of the computer-readable code.

[0085] The computer-readable code can not only be recorded on a medium but also be transmitted via the Internet. The medium can include, for example, a recording medium such as a magnetic storage medium (e.g., ROM, floppy disk, hard disk, etc.) and an optical recording medium (e.g., CD-ROM, Blu-Ray, DVD), and a transmission medium such as a carrier wave. The medium can also be a distributed network, so that the computer-readable code can be stored / transmitted and executed in a distributed manner. Further, as just an example, the processing element can include a processor or a computer processor, and the processing element can be distributed and / or included within one device.

[0086] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described with reference to the drawings illustrated as above, those having ordinary knowledge in the technical field to which the present invention pertains should be able to understand that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without changing its technical idea and essential features. Therefore, the foregoing embodiments should be understood as being exemplary in all aspects and not restrictive.
