DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0011] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Note that the following embodiments are examples that embody the present disclosure and do not limit the technical scope of the present disclosure.

[0012] [Lighting fixture setting system 10] The present disclosure relates to an electronic device setting system for setting the installation positions of multiple electronic devices installed at an installation location. As an example of the electronic device setting system, a lighting fixture setting system for setting the installation positions of multiple lighting fixtures installed on the ceiling of a living room will be described.

[0013] 1 is a diagram showing the configuration of a lighting fixture setting system 10 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The lighting fixture setting system 10 includes a lighting fixture setting device 1 and a camera 2.

[0014] The lighting fixture setting device 1 is a device that sets the installation positions of multiple lighting fixtures 3 installed on the ceiling of a room. The camera 2 is a digital camera that captures an image of a subject and outputs the image as digital image data. The camera 2 has a communication function that transmits the digital image data to the lighting fixture setting device 1 via the network N1. The camera 2 according to this embodiment is capable of capturing images of multiple lighting fixtures 3 all at once. The camera 2 may be included in the lighting fixture setting device 1.

[0015] A plurality of lighting fixtures 3 are arranged at predetermined intervals on the ceiling A1 of a room, for example. In the example shown in FIG. 2, 16 lighting fixtures are arranged on the ceiling A1. The lighting fixtures 3 are connected in a single line (daisy chain connection) and turn on or off according to a control command (on / off command) input to the input terminal T1. The lighting fixture setting device 1 outputs the control command to control the turning on and off of each lighting fixture 3.

[0016] Here, in order to individually turn each lighting fixture 3 on or off, it is necessary to know the unique physical identification information (physical ID) assigned to each lighting fixture 3 at the time of shipment from the factory. For example, to turn on the sixth lighting fixture 3 shown in FIG. 2, it is necessary to know the physical ID assigned to the sixth lighting fixture 3. By knowing the physical ID, for example, when a turn-on command including the physical ID assigned to the sixth lighting fixture 3 is input to input terminal T1, the sixth lighting fixture 3 will turn on.

[0017] Furthermore, by registering the physical ID of each lighting fixture 3 in association with the installation position (position coordinates) of each lighting fixture 3, it becomes possible for the user to turn on or off the lighting fixtures 3 in the locations intended by the user. Conventionally, there is known a technique for photographing lighting fixtures that are illuminated in a predetermined illumination pattern and analyzing the captured image to identify the identification information of the lighting fixtures contained in the illumination pattern. However, this technique requires photographing each lighting fixture to identify its identification information. Therefore, as the number of installed lighting fixtures increases, the workload of associating lighting fixtures with their installation positions increases. In contrast, the lighting fixture setting device 1 according to this embodiment has a configuration that enables easy setting of the installation positions of multiple lighting fixtures 3. The specific configuration of the lighting fixture setting device 1 will be described below.

[0018] FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a lighting fixture setting device 1 according to this embodiment. The lighting fixture setting device 1 is an information processing device (server) including a control unit 11, a storage unit 12, an operation / display unit 13, and a communication unit 14. The lighting fixture setting device 1 is not limited to being implemented by a single computer, but may also be a computer system in which multiple computers operate in cooperation with each other. The various processes executed by the lighting fixture setting device 1 may be executed in a distributed manner by one or multiple processors.

[0019] The communication unit 14 is a communication interface for connecting the lighting fixture setting device 1 to the network N1 by wire or wirelessly and for executing data communication with external devices such as the camera 2 via the network N1 in accordance with a predetermined communication protocol.

[0020] The operation display unit 13 is a user interface that includes a display unit such as a liquid crystal display or an organic EL display that displays various information, and an operation unit such as a mouse, keyboard, or touch panel that accepts operations.

[0021] Storage unit 12 is a non-volatile storage unit such as a hard disk drive (HDD), a solid state drive (SSD), or flash memory that stores various types of information. Specifically, storage unit 12 stores data such as captured image data received from camera 2, lighting registration information D1 including information on the installation location of each lighting fixture 3, device identification information D2 including identification information for each lighting fixture 3, and determination result information D3 including the result of determining whether the lighting fixture is on or off based on the captured image.

[0022] FIG. 3 shows an example of the lighting registration information D1. A logical ID, a coordinate position, and a physical ID are associated and registered in the lighting registration information D1 for each lighting fixture 3. The logical ID indicates the coordinate position of the lighting fixture 3 on the installation surface of the installation location and is logical identification information for the physical ID. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 2, "1" to "16" indicate the logical ID of each lighting fixture 3 on the coordinate plane corresponding to the ceiling A1 surface. Based on the image captured by the camera 2, the control unit 11 identifies the coordinate position of each lighting fixture 3 on the coordinate plane corresponding to the ceiling A1 surface, and registers the identified coordinate position of each lighting fixture 3 in the lighting registration information D1 by associating it with an arbitrarily set logical ID. When each lighting fixture 3 is installed, the control unit 11 can identify the coordinate position of each lighting fixture 3 based on the captured image and register the logical ID and coordinate position. The physical ID is unique identification information assigned to each lighting fixture 3 and is identified by the control unit 11 through an analysis process described below. The control unit 11 associates the physical ID, which is the result of the analysis process, with the logical ID and registers it in the lighting registration information D1.

[0023] FIG. 4 shows an example of device identification information D2. In device identification information D2, information representing the physical ID in decimal and information representing the physical ID in binary (binary notation) are registered for each lighting fixture 3. The decimal physical ID is unique identification information assigned to each lighting fixture 3 when it is shipped from the factory. The binary notation is information in which the decimal physical ID is displayed (converted) into binary. For example, the decimal number "11111" can be expressed in binary as "00010101101100111." For example, when control unit 11 acquires the decimal physical ID for each of 16 lighting fixtures 3 installed on ceiling A1 of a room, it converts the acquired decimal physical ID into binary and registers it in device identification information D2 in association with the decimal physical ID.

[0024] FIG. 5 shows an example of determination result information D3. The determination result information D3 registers the results of determining the on / off state of each lighting fixture 3 when a control command is input to multiple lighting fixtures 3. For example, the control unit 11 inputs a control command (a lighting command for a lighting pattern) to turn each of 16 lighting fixtures 3 on or off, and determines whether each lighting fixture 3 is on or off for each position coordinate (logical ID) on ceiling A1 based on an image captured by camera 2 of the lighting fixtures 3 in the on or off state in response to the control command, and registers the determination result in determination result information D3. The control unit 11 identifies a physical ID based on the determination result information D3 (e.g., information such as "On: 1" or "Off: 0") and associates the identified physical ID with the logical ID and registers it in lighting registration information D1 (see FIG. 3).

[0025] The storage unit 12 also stores control programs such as a lighting fixture setting program for causing the control unit 11 to execute various processes such as the lighting fixture setting process (see FIGS. 7 and 8). For example, the lighting fixture setting program is non-temporarily recorded on a computer-readable recording medium such as a hard disk drive (HDD), non-volatile memory, CD, or DVD, and is read by a reading device (not shown) such as a hard disk drive (HDD), non-volatile memory, CD drive, or DVD drive provided in the lighting fixture setting device 1 and stored in the storage unit 12.

[0026] The control unit 11 has control devices such as a CPU, a ROM, and a RAM. The CPU is a processor that executes various types of arithmetic processing. The ROM is a non-volatile storage unit that pre-stores control programs such as a BIOS and an OS that cause the CPU to execute various types of arithmetic processing. The RAM is a volatile or non-volatile storage unit that stores various types of information and is used as a temporary storage memory (work area) for the various types of processing executed by the CPU. The control unit 11 controls the lighting fixture setting device 1 by having the CPU execute various control programs pre-stored in the ROM or the storage unit 12.

[0027] Specifically, the control unit 11 includes various processing units such as an acquisition processing unit 111, a specific processing unit 112, and a setting processing unit 113. The control unit 11 functions as the various processing units by executing various processes in accordance with the lighting fixture setting program on the CPU. Some or all of the processing units may be configured with electronic circuits. The lighting fixture setting program may be a program for causing multiple processors to function as the processing units.

[0028] The acquisition processing unit 111 acquires multiple captured images of multiple lighting patterns in which multiple lighting fixtures 3 installed in an installation location (e.g., the ceiling A1 of a living room) are turned on or off. Specifically, the control unit 11 inputs a lighting command (an example of a control command) to the input terminal T1, such as "Turn on if the bit is '1' when the decimal physical ID is expressed in binary." Upon receiving the lighting command, each lighting fixture 3 checks its own bit in the binary representation, turning on if the bit is '1' and turning off if the bit is '0'. The control unit 11 also outputs the lighting command and causes the camera 2 to capture images of the lighting states of each lighting fixture 3. For example, the camera 2 can capture images of 16 lighting fixtures 3 at once, capturing images of the lighting states (lighting patterns) of the 16 lighting fixtures 3 turned on or off in accordance with the lighting command. The acquisition processing unit 111 acquires captured images from the camera 2.

[0029] Furthermore, control unit 11 outputs the lighting command multiple times, and acquisition processing unit 111 acquires captured images from camera 2 for each lighting command. Specifically, control unit 11 repeats output of the lighting command the number of binary digits that can represent the maximum value that a decimal physical ID can take. For example, if the maximum value that a decimal physical ID can take is "99999," the binary representation will have 17 digits, so control unit 11 repeats the lighting command 17 times ("Turn on when the bit is "1" when the decimal physical ID is expressed in binary"). As a result, camera 2 captures the lighting pattern of each lighting fixture 3 17 times, and acquisition processing unit 111 acquires 17 captured images.

[0030] The identification processing unit 112 identifies the identification information (physical ID) of each of the lighting devices 3 based on the captured images acquired by the acquisition processing unit 111. Specifically, the identification processing unit 112 identifies the physical ID of each of the lighting devices 3 based on different lighting patterns of the lighting devices 3.

[0031] For example, the identification processing unit 112 analyzes the captured images of 17 lighting patterns acquired by the acquisition processing unit 111 to identify the physical IDs of each of the 16 lighting devices 3. Specifically, the identification processing unit 112 analyzes the captured images of the first lighting pattern captured in response to the first lighting command to determine whether each lighting device 3 has turned on, and analyzes the captured images of the second lighting pattern captured in response to the second lighting command to determine whether each lighting device 3 has turned on, repeating this determination process 17 times. The identification processing unit 112 registers the 17 lighting determination results in determination result information D3 (see FIG. 5).

[0032] For example, for a lighting fixture 3 with logical ID "1" located at position [x1, y1] (see Figures 2 and 3), if the on / off states (lighting patterns) in 17 captured images are "1st image: on [1]," "2nd image: on [1]," "3rd image: on [1]," "4th image: off [0]," "5th image: off [0]," "6th image: on [1]," "7th image: on [1]," "8th image: off [0]," "9th image: on [1]," "10th image: on [1]," "11th image: off [0]," "12th image: on [1]," "13th image: off [0]," "14th image: on [1]," "15th image: off [0]," "16th image: off [0]," and "17th image: off [0]," the transitions in the on / off states can be represented in bits as [00010101101100111]. The identification processing unit 112 refers to the device identification information D2 (see FIG. 4), searches for a binary representation that matches the 17 transitions of the on / off state, and identifies the physical ID associated with the matching binary representation. In the above example, the identification processing unit 112 identifies the physical ID "11111" associated with [00010101101100111].

[0033] As described above, the identification processing unit 112 analyzes the transition of the on / off state of each lighting fixture 3 based on the captured image, and identifies the physical ID of each lighting fixture 3.

[0034] The setting processing unit 113 associates the physical ID of each of the lighting fixtures 3 identified by the identification processing unit 112 with location information (logical IDs) indicating the installation locations of the lighting fixtures 3 in the installation location, and then registers the associated physical ID. In the above example, if the identification processing unit 112 identifies the physical ID of the lighting fixture 3 located at the position [x1, y1] with logical ID "1" as "11111," the setting processing unit 113 associates the physical ID "11111" with the logical ID "1" and registers the associated physical ID in the lighting registration information D1 (see FIG. 6). In this way, the identification processing unit 112 identifies a physical ID that matches the on / off state transition for each lighting fixture 3 based on the determination result information D3 and the device identification information D2, and the setting processing unit 113 registers the identified physical ID in association with the logical ID.

[0035] Fig. 6 shows how the physical ID of each lighting fixture 3 is registered in lighting registration information D1. Based on lighting registration information D1 shown in Fig. 6, control unit 11 can individually control the on / off of each lighting fixture 3. With the above configuration, the installation positions of each lighting fixture 3 can be registered based on a single captured image of multiple lighting fixtures 3.

[0036] [Lighting fixture setting process] An example of the lighting fixture setting process executed by the lighting fixture setting device 1 will be described below with reference to FIGS.

[0037] The present disclosure can be understood as a disclosure of a lighting fixture setting method that executes one or more steps included in the lighting fixture setting process. The lighting fixture setting method is an example of an electronic device setting method of the present disclosure. One or more steps included in the lighting fixture setting process described herein may be omitted as appropriate. The steps in the lighting fixture setting process may be executed in a different order as long as the same effects are achieved. Furthermore, although the present disclosure uses an example in which the control unit 11 of the lighting fixture setting device 1 executes the steps in the lighting fixture setting process, in other embodiments, one or more processors may execute the steps in the lighting fixture setting process in a distributed manner. The steps in the lighting fixture setting process may also be executed in a distributed manner by one or more processors.

[0038] In step S11, the control unit 11 acquires captured images of multiple lighting fixtures 3 installed in an installation location (e.g., ceiling A1 of a room) from the camera 2. For example, the camera 2 captures images of multiple lighting fixtures 3 collectively in response to a user's imaging operation, and transmits the captured image data to the lighting fixture setting device 1. The control unit 11 acquires the captured image data transmitted from the camera 2.

[0039] Next, in step S12, control unit 11 analyzes the captured image to identify lighting fixture 3. For example, control unit 11 identifies lighting fixtures from the captured image by comparing them with pattern images (learning data) of lighting fixtures registered in advance. Control unit 11 may also identify lighting fixtures from the captured image by using a trained model generated by machine learning.

[0040] Next, in step S13, controller 11 sets a logical ID for each lighting fixture 3. Specifically, controller 11 sets the coordinate position of each lighting fixture 3 on the coordinate plane of ceiling A1 as the logical ID. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, controller 11 sets "1" to "16" as the logical ID for each lighting fixture 3.

[0041] Next, in step S14, controller 11 analyzes the physical ID of each lighting fixture 3. A specific example of the physical ID analysis process is shown in FIG.

[0042] In step S21, control unit 11 sets bit 0 (first time), and in step S22 outputs a lighting command to each lighting fixture 3. Specifically, control unit 11 inputs a lighting command to input terminal T1, which says, "Turn on if the bit is '1' when the decimal physical ID is expressed in binary."

[0043] In step S23, the control unit 11 acquires captured images of multiple lighting fixtures 3 from the camera 2. For example, the camera 2 captures images of multiple lighting fixtures 3 collectively in response to a user's imaging operation, and transmits the captured image data to the lighting fixture setting device 1. The control unit 11 acquires the captured image data transmitted from the camera 2.

[0044] In step S24, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the acquisition of captured images has been completed. For example, if the maximum value that the decimal physical ID can take is "99999," the control unit 11 acquires 17 captured images. Therefore, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the acquisition of 17 captured images has been completed (S24: Yes), and if the acquisition has been completed (S24: No), the control unit 11 proceeds to step S25, and if the acquisition has not been completed (S24: No), the control unit 11 increments bit N (S31), and returns the process to step S22. The control unit 11 repeats outputting the lighting command and acquiring captured images until 17 captured images have been acquired.

[0045] In step S25, control unit 11 identifies the physical IDs. Specifically, control unit 11 determines the on / off state in each of the acquired captured images, and identifies the physical ID of each lighting device 3 based on the determination result ("on: 1", "off: 0"). For example, control unit 11 refers to device identification information D2 (see FIG. 4) to search for binary notations that match 17 transitions of the on / off state ("on: 1", "off: 0"), and identifies the physical ID associated with the matching binary notation. Control unit 11 uses the 17 captured images to identify the physical ID for each of the 16 lighting devices 3.

[0046] After identifying the physical ID of each lighting fixture 3, in step S15 (see FIG. 7), controller 11 registers each physical ID in association with each logical ID set in step S13 (see FIG. 6).

[0047] As described above, the control unit 11 executes the lighting fixture setting process for setting the physical IDs of the lighting fixtures 3.

[0048] As described above, the lighting fixture setting device 1 according to this embodiment acquires a plurality of captured images of a plurality of lighting patterns in which a plurality of lighting fixtures 3 installed at an installation location are turned on or off, and identifies the identification information (physical ID) of each of the plurality of lighting fixtures 3 based on the acquired captured images. The lighting fixture setting device 1 also associates the identified identification information (physical ID) of each of the plurality of lighting fixtures 3 with location information (logical ID) that indicates the installation locations of the plurality of lighting fixtures 3 at the installation location.

[0049] According to the above configuration, the physical IDs of the lighting fixtures 3 can be identified based on a captured image of the lighting fixtures 3, making it easy to set the installation locations of the lighting fixtures 3. This significantly reduces the workload of associating lighting fixtures with their installation locations.

[0050] [Other embodiments] The lighting fixture setting system 10 according to the present disclosure is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and may be embodied as follows.

[0051] For example, the setting processor 113 may group multiple lighting fixtures 3 located within a predetermined range based on the identification information (physical ID) of each lighting fixture 3 and the location information (logical ID) of each lighting fixture 3. For example, as shown in FIG. 9, the setting processor 113 groups 16 lighting fixtures 3 into groups of four (groups G1 to G4). The setting processor 113 then performs the grouping process in response to a user instruction (group setting operation). The setting processor 113 then registers the group information in the lighting registration information D1. This makes it possible to control the lighting on / off for each group. Note that the groups may partially overlap. That is, the setting processor 113 may group lighting fixtures 3 so that one lighting fixture 3 belongs to multiple groups.

[0052] Incidentally, various devices (objects) may be placed in the location where the lighting fixtures 3 are installed (for example, the ceiling A1 of a room). In this case, the control unit 11 may set the position (logical ID) of each of the multiple lighting fixtures 3 based on the position of the object image of the object included in the multiple captured images. For example, the objects may include a projector, a sprinkler, a sensor, a communication device, an inspection hatch, an air conditioner, and a partition rail. The control unit 11 sets the physical ID of each of the multiple lighting fixtures 3 based on the position of the object image of the object included in the captured images that will be installed in the installation location (for example, the ceiling A1 of a room).

[0053] Specifically, the control unit 11 identifies the positions of the lighting fixtures 3 and each object placed on the ceiling A1 from a captured image of the ceiling A1 using pattern images (learning data) of the lighting fixtures and each object. By identifying the positions of various types of objects, it becomes possible to identify the position (logical ID) of each lighting fixture 3 with high accuracy.

[0054] In another embodiment, the control unit 11 may register information about the objects in the storage unit 12. For example, as shown in Fig. 10, in a case where 16 lighting fixtures 3, projectors, and sensors are installed on a ceiling A1, the control unit 11 identifies the position of each object and then registers the position information of each object in object registration information D4 (see Fig. 11).

[0055] In another embodiment, the setting processor 113 may group multiple lighting fixtures 3 located within a predetermined range based on the physical IDs of the multiple lighting fixtures 3, the logical IDs of the multiple lighting fixtures 3, and the positions of the object images of the object included in the multiple captured images. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 10 , the setting processor 113 groups four lighting fixtures 3 with logical IDs "5," "6," "9," and "10" located within the area surrounding the projector (group G1). The setting processor 113 registers the group information in the object registration information D4 (see FIG. 11 ). In the example shown in FIG. 10 , eight lighting fixtures 3 with logical IDs "1" to "8" are grouped in group G2, and eight lighting fixtures 3 with logical IDs "9" to "16" are grouped in group G3. This allows, for example, the lighting fixtures 3 in group G1 to be turned off when using the projector.

[0056] In another embodiment, the control unit 11 may register, in the lighting registration information D1, setting information such as the brightness and color temperature of each lighting device 3 when it is turned on. The control unit 11 may also be able to change the setting information in response to a user operation.

[0057] In the above-described embodiment, a lighting fixture is given as an example of an electronic device of the present disclosure. However, the electronic device of the present disclosure is not limited to a lighting fixture and may be a display, a speaker, or the like. For example, if the electronic device is a display, the control unit 11 can control the display / non-display of each of multiple displays and identify the position of each display based on a captured image. For example, if the electronic device is a speaker, the control unit 11 can control the output / non-output of sound from each of multiple speakers and identify the position of each speaker based on an image that visualizes the sound source.
