Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an image production method at a performance venue using a cheering light-emitting device and an image production system using the same. [Background technology]

[0002] Generally, a light-emitting device includes a light source such as a single-color or multi-color LED, a control unit capable of controlling the on / off of light emitted from the light source, and, if necessary, a light-condensing / diffusing unit that reflects, refracts, or diffuses the light from the light source to provide directionality and diffuse the light. In particular, when multiple light-emitting devices are arranged, each can be considered as a point light source. Furthermore, each light-emitting device can emit light in multiple colors by including, for example, red, green, and blue LEDs (the three primary colors of RGB). Furthermore, in some cases, each light-emitting device can control the brightness of each primary color in gradations (e.g., 256 gradations), thereby enabling the expression of any color and brightness.

[0003] With the development of technology, light-emitting devices are being used for a variety of purposes. For example, light-emitting devices are used to create media facades. A media facade is a structure in which light-emitting devices are arranged and installed on the exterior walls of a building to realize media functions that display images (patterns such as letters and figures).

[0004] As another example, light-emitting devices are sometimes used as small cheering props at sporting events or concerts held in environments with a certain level of illumination or less. However, in such environments, multiple light-emitting devices are operated or controlled individually by each spectator, making it difficult to create images (stage effects) through systematic light control. Furthermore, simply having spectators call out to each other or communicate with each other to create specific light-emitting patterns using the light-emitting devices may not achieve the desired cheering effect.

[0005] Therefore, in order to specifically solve these problems, there is a current demand for the introduction of a method for collectively controlling multiple light emitting devices, and using such control to produce a variety of performances at venues for sporting events, concerts, etc. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] Therefore, the present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and its object is to provide a method for producing images that are projected onto the audience seats at a performance venue using multiple cheering light-emitting devices, and an image production system using the same.

[0018] In one embodiment of the present invention, the present invention further includes a control device that wirelessly transmits the image performance mapping data corresponding to the specific image performance section to the plurality of cheering light-emitting devices in the performance venue during the performance progress, and the control device can cause the plurality of cheering light-emitting devices to emit light according to the light-emitting color information corresponding to the group assignment information recorded in each of the image performance mapping data received by the plurality of cheering light-emitting devices, thereby producing the image on the audience seats in the performance venue.

[0019] According to yet another embodiment of the present invention, an image production system for an audience seating area in a performance venue using a plurality of cheering light emitting devices includes a first cheering light emitting device and a second cheering light emitting device that wirelessly receive a first control signal sent from outside to realize a first image production scene on the audience seating area, the first control signal including a plurality of group assignment information and light emitting color information for the groups that are connected to each other in pairs to realize the first image production scene, the first cheering light emitting device acquires the group light emitting color information corresponding to the group assignment information in the first control signal based on the group assignment information pre-recorded therein corresponding to the first image production scene, and the first cheering light emitting device can emit light in a predetermined color in the first image production scene according to the group light emitting color information.

[0029] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the outline of the configuration of a light emission control system for image production in a performance venue according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0031] 1, a light emitting control system 10 (hereinafter referred to as the light emitting control system) for image production in a performance venue according to an embodiment of the present invention can include a control device 100 and cheering light emitting devices (200_1, 200_2, ..., 200_n, hereinafter referred to as 200). The light emitting control system 10 can produce various types of light emitting patterns for image production such as cheering in the audience seats of the performance venue by the control device 100 controlling the light emitting states of the cheering light emitting devices 200.

[0032] The control device 100 can control a plurality of support light emitting devices 200 for image production in a performance venue. In one embodiment, the control device 100 may be an electronic device (hereinafter referred to as a smart device) with a communication terminal function and a computer function, such as a smartphone, tablet, desktop computer, laptop computer, netbook, etc., managed by a performance manager (a person in charge on the organizer's side), or may be configured in various forms that include some of the configurations of such electronic devices or can be linked to them.

[0033] The cheering light emitting device 200 can produce various types of light emitting patterns in real time or according to predetermined control information by the control device 100. In one embodiment, the cheering light emitting device 200 is a device including a light source, and may be a small cheering item used at a performance venue such as a sports competition or a concert.

[0034] The control device 100 and the support light emitting device 200 can communicate with each other in various ways, for example, they can be connected by wireless communication such as RF communication or electronic tag.

[0035] FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a schematic view of a performance hall to which a light emission control system according to an embodiment of the present invention can be applied.

[0036] 2, a performance venue is a place for performances such as sporting events or concerts, and may be comprised of, for example, a stage, stadium, spectator seats, etc. In addition, the performance venue may be equipped with various devices (e.g., sound equipment, lighting equipment, etc.) required for the performance, and may be equipped with a central control device including a control console that can adjust and control the operation of such devices.

[0037] A light emitting control system 10 including a control device 100 and cheering light emitting devices 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention may be applied to a performance venue as shown in Fig. 2. In one embodiment, the control device 100 is disposed within the performance venue to control the cheering light emitting devices 200, and the cheering light emitting devices 200 are disposed in the audience seats and can produce various light emitting states under the control of the control device 100. Here, each of the cheering light emitting devices 200 may be disposed corresponding to each audience seat according to the seating layout plan.

[0038] The control device 100 may be connected to a central control device acting as a file (data) server, or may be included in the central control device. Furthermore, the control device 100 may receive a signal from the central control device and operate in synchronization with the sound and lighting devices in the performance venue, thereby synchronizing the support light emitting devices 200 with the sound and lighting devices to automatically perform image effects.

[0039] FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the configuration of a control device according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0040] Referring to FIG. 3, a control device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include an information generating unit 110, a central storage unit 120, an information providing unit 130, and a central control unit 140.

[0041] The information generator 110 generates a performance scene (scene) to be performed using the cheering light emitting devices 200 during the performance at the performance venue. In this case, the information generator 110 can configure each performance scene for each image performance section according to the performance scene. For example, a first performance scene (e.g., Scene 1) can be generated in a first image performance section (e.g., Time 1), and a second performance scene (e.g., Scene 2) can be generated in a second image performance section (e.g., Time 2). When the audience seats are configured in a circular stadium (performance venue) as shown in FIG. 13, a first performance scene can be generated in the first image performance section, in which an image of specific text (e.g., "BIGBANG IS VIP") is displayed in the peripheral area of ​​the audience seats (stand seats; audience seat 2) as shown in FIG. 13. In the second image performance section, a second performance scene, different from the first performance scene, can be generated, in which an image of a specific figure and pattern is displayed in the central area of ​​the circular stadium (arena seats; audience seat 1) as shown in FIG. 13.

[0042] The information generating unit 110 may group the seats in the auditorium into a plurality of groups based on each performance scene generated for each image performance section, and generate group information for each of the plurality of groups. For example, if there are a plurality of groups that can be grouped with similar or identical lighting patterns for the first performance scene to be performed in the first image performance section, the auditorium may be divided into a plurality of areas corresponding to the group units, and each of the divided areas may be generated as a group. In other words, the first performance scene in the first image performance section may include a plurality of groups.

[0043] The information generating unit 110 may map the generated group information for each image presentation section (image presentation scene) and configure the mapped information as image presentation mapping data for each image presentation section. For example, the information generating unit 110 may configure image presentation mapping data by mapping the generated group information corresponding to the presentation information for each section as shown in Table 1 below. Here, the group information refers to group-specific control information for controlling the cheering light emitting devices 200 by group in accordance with each presentation scene for each image presentation section. The group-specific control information may include group assignment information and light emitting color information set corresponding thereto. That is, the cheering light emitting devices 200 having the same group assignment information for each image presentation section may include the same light emitting color information. Furthermore, the cheering light emitting devices 200 having the same group assignment information for each image presentation section may be different from each other for each image presentation section. For example, a cheering light emitting device 200 having group A assignment information in a first image presentation section (first image presentation scene) may be set to group B assignment information in a second image presentation section (second image presentation scene). In other words, the cheering light emitting device 200 belonging to group A in the first image production section (first image production scene) and the cheering light emitting device 200 belonging to group A in the second image production section (second image production scene) are The cheering light emitting devices 200 belonging to a group may be different from each other.

[0044] [Table 1]

[0045] The central storage unit 120 may be configured to include a memory, a cache, a buffer, etc., and may store data received from or generated by the control device 100 or other components of the light emission control system 10. In one embodiment, the central storage unit 120 may store image presentation mapping data for each image presentation section generated by the information generator 110.

[0046] The information providing unit 130 can provide each of the cheering light emitting devices 200 with group allocation information for each image performance section that is mapped according to a seating layout diagram based on the image performance mapping data.

[0047] The central control unit 140 may generate a control signal including luminous color information for each group mapped to a performance scene to be performed in the corresponding image performance section based on the image performance mapping data, and broadcast the generated control signal via wireless communication. For example, when a first image performance section (e.g., first time) occurs during a performance at a performance venue, the central control unit 140 may acquire multiple group information mapped to the first performance scene in the first image performance section (e.g., first time). According to Table 1, five groups (A, B, C, D, E) are mapped to the first performance information, and each group (A, B, C, D, E) is assigned corresponding luminous color information (e.g., RGB information; in a specific example, the gradation value of each primary color in a 256-level gradation display). The central control unit 140 may generate a control signal for each group mapped to the first image performance section and the five group information including the corresponding luminous color information.

[0048] In an embodiment, the cheering light emitting devices 200 may store only group information regarding which group each cheering light emitting device 200 belongs to for each scene before a performance is performed. In this case, light emitting color information (e.g., color information consisting of RGB gradation values) may be excluded from the pre-stored information. The group information may refer to a group of cheering light emitting devices 200 that are controlled to the same color at a specific moment or scene. In other words, group information may be assigned so that multiple cheering light emitting devices 200 that are controlled to the same color in a specific scene have the same group information, and information regarding the color to which the group is controlled may be excluded.

[0049] For this purpose, the assigned group-specific light emitting color information (e.g., color information) may be maintained as empty data, or dummy data or temporary color information may be recorded in the cheering light emitting device 200. That is, the actual group-specific color information may be transmitted in real time while the performance is being performed.

[0050] Therefore, in the present invention, colors can be changed in consideration of the atmosphere and situation on site during the actual image production process, which allows for flexible image production, unlike a method in which all color information is stored in the support device.

[0051] Control information regarding the color of light emitted by a specific group in a specific scene can be included in a control signal in real time by the central controller 140 during the actual performance.

[0052] If, as in the conventional method, individual IDs were assigned to all cheering devices in the auditorium and lighting signals were transmitted individually in real time for each individual ID, there was a limit to the amount of data that could be transmitted via wireless RF, which made it impossible to produce smooth images on site, and there were disadvantages such as many cheering devices becoming uncontrollable and the inability to produce the intended audience image due to delays in control signals.For example, in a performance venue with an audience of 10,000 seats, the conventional method required transmitting 10,000 RGB signal value data for each image production scene to control each of the 10,000 cheering devices.

[0053] However, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of cheering light emitting devices 200 that are controlled to emit the same light for each performance scene are grouped, and information regarding which group each cheering light emitting device 200 belongs to is stored in advance for each scene during the performance. At the performance site, the control device 100 only sends color information for each group, thereby significantly reducing the amount of data transmitted by the control device 100 for each scene compared to the conventional method. For example, in a performance venue with 10,000 seats, if there are 20 groups of cheering light emitting devices that emit the same color for a particular scene, this can be achieved by transmitting 20 sets of RGB signal value data. Therefore, an image performance scene within the same audience seats can be achieved with only 0.2% of the data transmission compared to the conventional method.

[0054] In some other embodiments, the group assignment information pre-stored in the cheering light-emitting devices may introduce and apply a virtual coordinate system to the entire audience seating area of ​​a performance venue, thereby defining the entire audience seating area within a specific coordinate range. One audience seat may have a specific x- and y-coordinate value, or multiple adjacent audience seats may have the same x- and y-coordinate value. Furthermore, the positions of the audience seats may be identified by introducing a coordinate system other than the commonly used x- and y-coordinate system.

[0055] In this way, if part or all of the group assignment information stored in advance in each cheering light-emitting device is recorded as coordinate information, the image performance mapping data transmitted in real time at the performance site can include a control signal that causes cheering light-emitting devices belonging to a specific coordinate value range to emit a specific color based on one or more specific coordinate values ​​or a specific coordinate range to identify the cheering light-emitting devices that will emit a specific color. That is, when group assignment information and group light-emitting color information are mapped to each other to form image performance mapping data, coordinate values ​​or a coordinate range can be provided instead of group assignment information. In this case, the cheering light-emitting devices receive the image performance mapping data during the performance, determine whether they are included in a specific group assignment information based on their own coordinate values, and then emit light in the appropriate color. If group information based on a coordinate system set for the entire audience seating area of ​​the performance venue is pre-stored in the cheering light-emitting devices, impromptu image performance in the audience seating area can be achieved even with small-scale data transmission. That is, image performance mapping data can be generated or modified to emit only cheering sticks within a specific coordinate range in a specific color, and then broadcast (radio broadcast) to enable variable image performance in the audience seating area.

[0056] For example, if the entire audience seating area of ​​a performance venue is defined by an xy coordinate system and each cheering light-emitting device is assigned a specific xy coordinate in advance in a specific image production section, when realizing that image production section during the real-time image production process, image production mapping data set to illuminate a specific coordinate range (e.g., {10, 10} to {20, 15}) in red (255, 0, 0) is transmitted, and the multiple cheering light-emitting devices that receive this data can determine for themselves based on the coordinate information assigned to them whether they belong to the range of {10, 10} to {20, 15}, and if they fall into this range, they can emit light in red.

[0057] In another embodiment, as shown in FIG. 13, when a specific text (e.g., "BIGBANGIS VIP") and a specific graphic and design displayed in the center audience seats are to be displayed as one performance scene, let us assume that the specific text is displayed with a red (255, 0, 0) lighting pattern and the specific graphic and design is displayed with a green (0, 255, 0) lighting pattern. In this case, a conventional method transmits RGB signal value data individually to all cheering devices, regardless of information such as the specific pattern and lighting pattern of the performance scene, to display the specific text, graphic, and design as shown in FIG. 13. However, the present invention takes into consideration information such as the specific pattern and lighting pattern of the performance scene, and groups cheering light-emitting devices that emit light of the same color into one group and controls them on a group-by-group basis. As a result, cheering light emitting devices that produce specific text in red (255, 0, 0) can be configured in one group, and cheering light emitting devices that produce specific figures and designs in green (0, 255, 0) can be configured in another group, so that by transmitting only RGB signal value data (red signal value and green signal value) for the two groups, it is possible to produce a scene such as that shown in Figure 13. As described above, the image production method of the present invention can transmit and receive data more effectively than the conventional method of individually controlling cheering devices, thereby making it possible to use frequency bands more efficiently and to control tens of thousands of cheering light emitting devices simultaneously without delay.

[0058] As described above, according to an embodiment of the present invention, unlike conventional methods, the amount of data is significantly reduced during the wireless RF data transmission process, making it possible to transmit necessary data to all cheering light devices 200 in the audience without using the entire wireless bandwidth. In other words, control signals can be sent to the cheering light devices 200 using only a portion of the entire wireless bandwidth, leaving the remaining bandwidth unused. Therefore, in one embodiment of the present invention, dynamic performance scenes can be instantly produced by utilizing available wireless bandwidth sections. In one embodiment, the control device 100 can transmit new performance data or additional or changed performance data to the cheering light devices 200 in advance via available wireless bandwidth sections. For example, the control device 100 can calculate the time required to transmit data using available wireless bandwidth sections, and then realize the performance data based on the calculated time and transmit it to the cheering light devices 200 in advance. This allows new performance scenes to be instantly produced in addition to previously defined performance scenes, enabling diverse performance effects to be instantly designed and changed at the performance site.

[0059] In some other embodiments, the image performance mapping data transmitted in real time at the venue where the performance is taking place may further include dimming information required for each group to emit the corresponding color. For example, if Group A emits a specific color during a specific image performance section (audience performance scene), and the lights must be turned on and off repeatedly at specific time intervals, transmitting the on and off signals each time may result in a large number of signals being broadcast in a short period of time, which may cause processing delays even if the amount of signals the receiving cheering rods must process increases. If the blinking interval is shortened, for example, to 0.5 seconds or less, a certain delay may occur due to the characteristics of signal processing transmitted in real time, resulting in an unnatural performance scene. Therefore, although the image performance mapping data is transmitted only once at the initial start of a specific image performance section where blinking is required, information regarding the blinking interval and duration may be included in the image performance mapping data, and the cheering light devices belonging to the specific group that receive this data can realize a blinking cheering light performance for the specified time.

[0060] FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the configuration of a cheering light-emitting device according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0061] The cheering light emitting device 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention may be a light emitting cheering stick or a body-attached device (for example, a light emitting device in the form of a wristwatch, hat, headband, vest, armband, etc.) that can be carried by spectators to participate in the image production. The cheering light emitting device 200 may be mapped 1:1 to the seats arranged in the audience seats, and may play a role in displaying an image of the audience seats like a display, an electronic scoreboard, or a media facade when the performance venue is dark or in a state equivalent thereto.

[0062] In one embodiment, the cheering light emitting devices 200 may contain audience performance data that utilizes the cheering light emitting devices 200 in the audience seats before the image performance is carried out.

[0063] In another embodiment, as described above, the cheering light emitting devices 200 may store only group information regarding which group each cheering light emitting device 200 belongs to for each scene before the performance begins. In this case, light color information (e.g., color information) may be excluded from the pre-stored information. The group information may refer to a group of cheering light emitting devices that are controlled to the same color at a specific moment or scene.

[0064] For this purpose, the assigned group-specific light emitting color information (e.g., lighting color information) may be maintained as empty data or may be recorded as dummy data or temporary color information in the support light emitting device 200. That is, the actual group-specific lighting color information may be transmitted in real time while the performance is being performed.

[0065] That is, group information can be assigned so that multiple support light emitting devices controlled to the same color in a specific scene have the same group information, and information about the color to be controlled for the group can be omitted. Since the color can be changed in consideration of the atmosphere and situation of the scene during the actual image production process, flexible image production is possible, unlike a method in which all color information is stored in the support device.

[0066] Referring to FIG. 4, a cheering light emitting device 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include an information receiving unit 210, a terminal storage unit 220, a terminal control unit 230, and a light emitting unit 240.

[0067] The information receiving unit 210 may connect to other devices to receive information. In one embodiment, the information receiving unit 210 may include a wired communication module or a wireless communication module, such as an RF transmitter / receiver, ZigBee, Bluetooth, or WIFI module.

[0068] The information receiving unit 210 of the cheering light emitting device 200 can acquire group allocation information mapped to its own seat position information (the cheering light emitting device) for each image performance section from the image performance mapping data stored in the control device 100. Alternatively, the information receiving unit 210 can acquire group allocation information for each image performance section from the seat information processing device 300 (described later) based on image performance mapping data already set for its own seat position information (the cheering light emitting device).

[0069] In one embodiment, the information receiving unit 210 can generate group mapping data as shown in Table 2 below by receiving group allocation information mapped to its own seat position information for each image presentation section.

[0070] [Table 2]

[0071] Table 2 above may be exemplary data of group information for each performance scene for one specific cheering light emitting device 200. The cheering light emitting device 200 belongs to group A in the first scene, and its light emission may be controlled in the same way as other cheering light emitting devices belonging to group A. When the scene switches to the second scene, it may be controlled as group C.

[0072] As described above, when group information is recorded in advance in the cheering light emitting device 200, only information about the group is stored, and the lighting state (e.g., color) in which group A will emit light may not be stored. Therefore, the control device 100 may generate a control signal including lighting color information (e.g., color information) by referring to existing performance data, and then transmit the control signal to all or some of the cheering light emitting devices 200 installed on-site. For example, in the pre-performance planning process, it may be defined that group A will be controlled to red (255, 0, 0) in the first scene. However, a modified control signal may be broadcast to control group A to green (0, 255, 0) taking into consideration the atmosphere of the venue and interaction with the audience. In this case, even if controlled to green, the multiple cheering light emitting devices belonging to group A do not change, so the distribution of the multiple cheering light emitting devices belonging to group A (the distribution of corresponding seats) and the outline of their shapes and patterns remain unchanged, and only the cheering light emitting devices belonging to group A may emit green light.

[0073] In one embodiment, the same color control signal can be sent to multiple groups that were previously controlled as separate groups, dynamically modifying the outline of the shape or pattern depicted in the audience seats. For example, in Scene 3, the cheering light devices can be controlled by Group F. If the control device 100 sends a control signal specifying the same color to Group F and the adjacent Group G, the cheering light devices belonging to Group F and Group G can achieve a new pattern or shape.

[0074] In some other embodiments, the group assignment information may be in the form of coordinates rather than a specific group code, as in the fifth scene in Table 2 above. As described above, the group assignment information pre-stored in the cheering light-emitting device may introduce and apply a virtual coordinate system to all seats in the audience seating area of ​​the performance venue, thereby allowing each area formed by multiple seats in the audience seating area to be defined by a specific coordinate range. Each seat may have a specific x- and y-coordinate value, or multiple adjacent seats may have the same x- and y-coordinate value. Furthermore, other coordinate systems besides the commonly used x- and y-coordinate system may be introduced to identify the location of a seat in the audience seating area. The cheering light-emitting device receives image performance mapping data during the performance, determines whether it is included in the specific group assignment information based on its own coordinate value, and then emits light in the corresponding color. For example, during the real-time image performance process, the image performance mapping data for the fifth scene may be set to emit red (255, 0, 0) in the rectangular area formed by seats between coordinates {10, 10} and {20, 20}. In this case, a specific cheering light emitting device 200 that receives the information can determine that it belongs to the range from coordinate {10, 10} to coordinate {20, 20} based on the coordinate information (15, 15) assigned to itself. Then, after receiving the group light emitting color information, it can emit red light, which is the color set for this coordinate range (a kind of group), in the fifth scene.

[0075] The terminal storage unit 220 may include a memory, a cache, a buffer, etc., and may store data received from or generated by other components such as the cheering light emitting device 200, the control device 100, or the seat information processing device 300. In one embodiment, the terminal storage unit 220 may store seat position information indicating the position of each seat in the audience seating (the area where seats are arranged) of the performance venue, which is received by the information receiving unit 210, and group mapping data according to the seat position information.

[0076] As described above, the mapping data information receiving unit 210 can receive seat position information of the performance venue and group mapping data based on the seat position information from an external device (e.g., the control device 100, the seat information processing device 300, etc.) and store it in the terminal storage unit 220. However, in some embodiments, a visitor can input performance ticket information via a PC or smart device, and the information receiving unit 210 can receive group mapping data mapped to the input ticket information via a wired / wireless communication module and store it in the terminal storage unit 220.

[0077] The terminal control unit 230 may receive a control signal from the control device 100, and at this time, may selectively receive a control signal corresponding to group information of the cheering light-emitting device 200. As an embodiment, the terminal control unit 230 may selectively extract only light-emitting color information corresponding to group information of the cheering light-emitting device 200 from the control signal based on group mapping data according to seat position information, and control the light-emitting unit 240 to operate according to the extracted light-emitting color information.

[0078] The light emitting unit 240 may include one or more light source elements, and the light source elements may be, for example, light emitting diodes (LEDs). In addition, the light emitting unit 240 may output light of various colors according to RGB color information using the light source elements. do.

[0079] FIG. 5 is a diagram showing the configuration of a seat information processing device according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0080] Referring to FIG. 5, the seat information processing device 300 according to one embodiment of the present invention may be a device responsible for processing to input group information in advance into the cheering light-emitting device 200, and may include a seat information acquisition unit 310, a seat information processing unit 320, and a seat information recording unit 330.

[0081] The seat information acquisition unit 310 can acquire seat position information of a performance venue. The seat position information may be information on the position of an audience seat where the cheering light emitting device 200 is placed in the performance venue, such as the seat number of the audience seat. Alternatively, the seat position information may be additional information set for identifying the position of the cheering light emitting device 200 placed corresponding to each audience seat.

[0082] In one embodiment, the seat information acquiring unit 310 may acquire seat position information from a performance ticket issued in advance, or may acquire seat position information from seat position information preset in the cheering light emitting device 200. For example, the seat position information may be extracted by recognizing electronic code information 401 such as a barcode or QR code (registered trademark) printed or displayed on an electronic performance ticket 400 issued on paper or a smart device, or may acquire seat position information from electronic code information built into the cheering light emitting device 200 itself or identification information assigned to the cheering light emitting device 200. Alternatively, the seat position information may be acquired by receiving the seat number printed on the ticket directly from a user (a spectator who uses one cheering light emitting device 200).

[0083] In addition, the seat information acquisition unit 310 may be configured to include an optical scanner or an automatic card / ticket processing machine capable of recognizing electronic code information such as a barcode, a QR code, etc. In this case, the seat information processing device 300 may directly recognize the electronic code information of the ticket in the seat information acquisition unit 310 and receive it via a physical medium or a network. Depending on the embodiment, the seat information acquisition unit 310 may be configured separately from the seat information processing device 300.

[0084] The seat information processing unit 320 can refer to image performance mapping data already set for a seat position based on the seat position information. In one embodiment, the seat information processing unit 320 can refer to group information for each image performance scene mapped to the seat position information from the image performance mapping data stored in a database of the control device 100 or an external server. Depending on the embodiment, the seat information processing device 300 may have previously received and stored image performance mapping data from a database of the control device 100 or an external server.

[0085] In addition, the seat information processing unit 320 can be configured in a form that can provide group information for each image presentation scene mapped to the queried seat position information to the cheering light-emitting device 200 (for example, the group mapping data of Table 2 above).

[0086] The seat information recording unit 330 can record information (numbers) of image performance scenes and group information assigned independently to each image performance scene in the cheering light emitting device 200 having the seat position information based on the image performance mapping data. Here, as described above, the seat information recording unit 330 may record only the identification code (group assignment information) of the group to which the cheering light emitting device 200 belongs as group information for each consecutively numbered image performance scene, but may not record information on the light emission state corresponding to each group assignment information as group information. In this case, the light emission color information corresponding to each group assignment information may be maintained as empty data, or dummy data or temporary information may be recorded.

[0087] In one embodiment, the seat information recording unit 330 may be configured to include a communication device capable of easily transmitting and receiving information, such as an RF tag device, an NFC input device, an IR (Infrared Ray) device, etc. In this case, the seat information processing device 300 may record image presentation scene information (number) mapped to seat position information and group information (group assignment information) for each image presentation scene in the cheering light-emitting device 200 by tagging the cheering light-emitting device 200 via the seat information recording unit 330. Depending on the embodiment, the seat information recording unit 330 may be configured separately from the seat information processing device 300.

[0088] In the case of the seat information processing device 300 according to one embodiment of the present invention, when a spectator arrives at the venue with a ticket and a cheering light emitting device 200 to watch a particular performance, the compatibility and validity of the ticket are confirmed through the seat information acquisition unit 310. Once confirmed, the seat information processing unit 320 queries the audience seat performance data (image performance mapping data) that has been planned in advance for the performance, and queries group information for each image performance scene for the seat. The queried information is recorded in the cheering light emitting device 200 through the seat information recording unit 330.

[0089] In another embodiment of the present invention, a user (e.g., an audience member using one cheering light emitting device 200) can directly query and record group assignment information for each image performance scene mapped to the seat position information in the cheering light emitting device 200, without using the seat information processing device 300. For example, the audience member can input paper or electronic ticket information in advance via a PC or smart device, and then query the audience seat performance data (image performance mapping data) pre-planned for the performance based on the entered ticket information to obtain group assignment information for each performance scene for the seat. The obtained information can then be recorded in the cheering light emitting device 200 via a near-field wireless communication module such as NFC or Bluetooth (registered trademark) or a wired cable such as a micro 5-pin. In this process, data can be recorded by directly connecting a device such as a PC or laptop to the cheering light emitting device via a wired or wireless connection, or data can be recorded in the cheering light emitting device from a PC or laptop via a smartphone. Group information can also be recorded in the cheering light emitting device directly from a smartphone via a wireless Internet module, etc. Here, smart devices such as smartphones may have an application installed therein for executing the image presentation method according to the present invention, and the above-described process may be performed using such an application.

[0090] Meanwhile, when the seat information processing device 300 records group information for each image production scene in the cheering light-emitting device 200 as described above, it can cause the light-emitting unit 240 of the cheering light-emitting device 200 to emit light in a preset color. This allows confirmation that the information has been successfully provided to the cheering light-emitting device 200 via the seat information processing device 300.

[0091] The image production method for a performance venue according to the present invention, which is carried out by the control device 100, the cheering light emitting device 200, and the seat information processing device 300, will be described below.

[0092] FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the preparatory process for image presentation carried out by the control device 100 in the image presentation method for a performance hall according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0093] 6, the information generator 110 of the control device 100 can generate a display scene to be depicted (produced) using the cheering light emitting devices 200 arranged at each seat in the audience seating area during the performance at the performance venue (S100). The display scene can include one or more images. In this case, the information generator 110 can configure at least one display scene in consideration of the performance time or the image pattern to be displayed through the cheering light emitting devices 200, and each display scene is generated corresponding to each image display section.

[0094] The information generation unit 110 can group the spectator seats into multiple groups based on the luminous color information, which can be configured in groups, based on each rendering scene generated for each image rendering section, and generate multiple groups corresponding to the multiple color regions included in the rendering scene for each image rendering section (S110). Here, one color region is a range of colors (hue and brightness) that are the same or similar and can be assigned the same luminous color information. Note that, in this application, color includes black, i.e., a state in which no light is emitted. Furthermore, a color region here refers to a region to which substantially the same color is assigned within one rendering scene, and does not necessarily have to be a single continuous region; it can be a discontinuous dot-like region.

[0095] In one embodiment, the information generation unit 110 groups the seats in the audience seating area by setting groups corresponding to color areas assigned with the same or similar light-emitting color information from each performance scene generated for each image performance section. That is, one group assignment information is assigned to each seat. That is, for each seat in the audience seating area, a group corresponding to the color area in the performance scene is determined based on seat position information corresponding to the seat's position in the performance scene. Therefore, multiple groups corresponding to multiple color areas in the performance scene are set, and seats in the audience seating area or cheering light-emitting devices corresponding to seats one-to-one are assigned to each group. In this way, group assignment information for each seat or cheering light-emitting device can be generated. For example, as shown in Table 1, if the first performance scene in the first image performance section is composed of five color areas and can be performed using five light-emitting color information (e.g., RGB color combinations), the information generation unit 110 can generate multiple groups for each light-emitting color information by dividing the seats in the audience seating area into five groups (e.g., A, B, C, D, and E) based on a seat layout diagram in the audience seating area.

[0096] The information generation unit 110 can generate image performance mapping data for each image performance section by mapping multiple groups to performance scenes for each image performance section based on seat position information and light color information for seats located in multiple locations and associating them with the corresponding light color information (S120).

[0097] In one embodiment, the image performance mapping data may be configured in the form of a mapping table including, for each image performance section, performance scenes and a plurality of group information generated corresponding to each performance scene, each corresponding to a corresponding group. Here, the group information may include group assignment information generated corresponding to the performance scene, light color information to be performed by the group, seat position information belonging to the group, etc. The light color information in this application is light-emitting status information indicating the state of light emitted from the cheering light-emitting device 200, and may include not only color information such as RGB gradation values ​​(including light source brightness), but also light source blinking, blinking duration, blinking speed, etc. As an example, the image performance mapping data for each image performance section may be configured in the form of a two-dimensional table (table) as shown in Table 1 above, but this is merely an example and is not limited thereto.

[0098] The information generator 110 may store image presentation mapping data for each image presentation section in the central storage unit 120 (S130). In some embodiments, the image presentation mapping data for each image presentation section may be transmitted to an external device and stored in the external device.

[0099] Although the above steps S100 to S130 have been described as being performed by the control device 100, in some embodiments, they may be performed by a device capable of executing a simulation function (hereinafter, referred to as a simulation device) configured separately from the control device 100. In this case, the simulation device performs S100 to S130, and image performance mapping data for each image performance section generated thereby can be provided to the control device 100. In this case, the information generator 110 can acquire the image performance mapping data for each image performance section from the simulation device and store it in the central storage unit 120.

[0100] FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a preparatory process for image production performed by the cheering light emitting device 200 as an image production method in a performance hall according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0101] 7, the information receiving unit 210 of the cheering light emitting device 200 can acquire seat position information of a performance venue where the cheering light emitting device 200 is arranged (S200). Here, the seat position information may be seat identification information, for example, a seat number within the audience seats, that is preset according to the seat layout diagram of the audience seats in the performance venue, as described above. Alternatively, the seat position information may be additional information set to identify the position of the cheering light emitting device 200 arranged corresponding to each seat, for example, additional position information set corresponding to the seat number within the audience seats.

[0102] In one embodiment, the information receiving unit 210 may acquire seat position information from ticket information issued in advance for the performance, or may acquire seat position information using identification information preset in the cheering light emitting device 200.

[0103] In another embodiment, the control device 100 or the seat information processing device 300 may read the seat position information from a ticket issued in advance for a performance and provide the same to the information receiving unit 210. In this case, the information receiving unit 210 may obtain the seat position information from the control device 100 or the seat information processing device 300 and store it in the terminal storage unit 220.

[0104] The information receiving unit 210 can obtain group information mapped to seat position information where the cheering light emitting devices 200 are placed from the image performance mapping data for each image performance section, and can configure group mapping data according to the seat position information (S210). In this case, the information receiving unit 210 can query and receive image performance mapping data from the database of the control device 100, the seat information processing device 300, or an external server.

[0105] For example, when image performance mapping data is queried and transmitted from the control device 100, the seat information processing device 300, or the database of an external server as shown in Table 1, the information receiving unit 210 can acquire group information (e.g., A) that is mapped to its own seat position information among the plurality of groups mapped to the first performance information, and acquire group information (e.g., C) that is mapped to its own seat position information among the plurality of groups mapped to the second performance information. Finally, the information receiving unit 210 can configure group mapping data corresponding to each performance scene of the cheering light emitting device 200 as shown in Table 2.

[0106] The information receiving unit 210 can store group mapping data according to the seat position information in the terminal storage unit 220 (S220).

[0107] According to the above-described embodiment of the present invention, the information receiving unit 210 of the cheering light emitting device 200 performs steps S200 to S220. However, this is merely an example, and the present invention is not limited thereto. According to an embodiment, steps S200 to S220 may be performed by the control device 100 or the seat information processing device 300, and group mapping data according to seat position information may be provided to the cheering light emitting device 200. For example, the control device 100 or the seat information processing device 300 may extract seat position information for each cheering light emitting device 200 from a performance ticket or information set in the cheering light emitting device 200, and may query the image performance mapping data for group information mapped to the extracted seat position information to generate group mapping data and provide the group mapping data to each cheering light emitting device 200. Accordingly, the information receiving unit 210 of the cheering light emitting device 200 may obtain group mapping data corresponding to its own seat position information from the control device 100 or the seat information processing device 300 and store the group mapping data in the device storage unit 220.

[0108] The embodiment of FIG. 7 as described above can be performed during the ticket inspection process before a performance. After completing the above steps S200 to S220, audience members can enter the performance venue and take their seats while carrying cheering light emitting devices 200 with group mapping data corresponding to their seat position information set therein. In some embodiments, the cheering light emitting devices 200 can be used instead of performance tickets. In this case, the cheering light emitting devices 200 can be issued in advance and distributed to audience members instead of tickets after completing the above steps S200 to S220 in advance. Therefore, audience members can easily complete steps S200 to S220 during the ticket inspection process before a performance. You can also enter the venue immediately without having to go through 0.

[0109] 8 is a flowchart showing a process performed during a performance as an image production method in a performance hall according to an embodiment of the present invention. The method of FIG. 8 can be performed by the control device 100 and the cheering light emitting device 200.

[0110] As described above, an image production method for a performance venue according to one embodiment of the present invention can include a process of setting each cheering light emitting device 200 as belonging to a group in advance and generating image production mapping data based on information about the group. In one embodiment, the control device 100 selectively turns on or off multiple cheering light emitting devices 200, each corresponding to an individual seat in the performance venue. Then, to project an image (image; performance scene) on the audience seats in the performance venue during a specific image production section, the control device 100 can group together cheering light emitting devices 200 that emit the same color during a specific image production section, set them as belonging to the same group, and assign the same group assignment information to them. The control device 100 can then generate image production mapping data that links the group assignment information and group emission color information related to the emission color of the group during the specific image production section. Furthermore, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the seat information processing device 300 can record group assignment information of image production mapping data corresponding to seat position information within the audience seats, which the seat information processing device 300 previously acquired based on ticket information, in the multiple cheering light emitting devices 200.

[0111] After that, when the performance is held at the performance venue, the control device 100 can wirelessly propagate image performance mapping data corresponding to a specific image performance section throughout the performance venue during the performance progress in accordance with the order of image performance. The multiple cheering light emitting devices 200 can light up the multiple cheering light emitting devices 200 according to the group light emitting color information corresponding to the group allocation information recorded in each of the received image performance mapping data, thereby depicting (performing) a colored image (image; performance scene) on the audience seats of the performance venue. The image production method used during the performance will be specifically explained.

[0112] 8, the central control unit 140 of the control device 100 can generate a control signal for each preset group according to the progress of the performance (such as the start of the performance, a change in the programs being performed, the start and end of the climax period, etc.) based on the pre-set image performance mapping data (S300). Here, the groups are pre-mapped to the image performance information for each preset image performance section, i.e., for each image performance scene.

[0113] In one embodiment, when an image performance section is determined based on a predetermined condition, the central control unit 140 acquires information about a plurality of groups mapped to the determined image performance section from the image performance mapping data and generates a control signal for each group. Here, the predetermined condition may be determined by receiving an image performance request signal requesting a specific image performance section or a specific performance scene from a performance manager (a person in charge of hosting the performance) or a user (e.g., an audience member participating in the image performance with their own support lighting device 200). As described above, the start and end timing of each image performance section may be determined so that the image performance is synchronized with the sound and lighting devices in the performance venue, and a control signal may be generated based on this timing. An example will be given in which image performance mapping data containing image performance information for each image performance section is generated, as shown in Table 1 above. Here, if it is determined that a second performance scene corresponding to a second image performance section is to be performed as the performance progresses, the central control unit 140 can acquire three groups (e.g., A, B, C) mapped to the second performance scene and the corresponding light emitting color information (e.g., RGB color information).The central control unit 140 can then generate a control signal including the determined image performance section information (e.g., the second image performance section), the plurality of group information mapped thereto (e.g., three group allocation information and the corresponding light emitting color information of each group), etc.

[0114] In addition, the central control unit 140 can generate a control signal for controlling the cheering light emitting devices 200 in real time depending on the communication status, the performance scene, etc. In one embodiment, when an image director wants to control a performance scene of a specific image performance section in real time or change a previously set performance scene, the central control unit 140 can generate a control signal including control information to be controlled for each of multiple groups mapped in the specific image performance section. For example, when a performance scene of a specific image performance section is mapped to only multiple groups and light emitting color information for each group is not set, the central control unit 140 can control the cheering light emitting devices 200 for each group in real time by configuring light emitting color information for each group during the performance according to the performance scene to be performed and generating a control signal. Alternatively, when a director wants to change the light emitting color information (e.g., information on the gradation values ​​of each basic color such as RGB) already set for each group mapped to a specific image performance section, the central control unit 140 can configure a control signal by changing the light emitting color information (e.g., RGB color information) for each group. As a result, in the embodiment of the present invention, the light emitting color information of the cheering light emitting devices 200 can be controlled for each group in real time, which has the effect of providing a variety of performance scenes.

[0115] The central control unit 140 can broadcast the group-specific control signals generated based on the performance information of the corresponding image performance section through wireless communication (S310).

[0116] In one embodiment, the central controller 140 may transmit the control signals generated for each group using different frequency bands, for example, the control signals for the first group may be transmitted through a first frequency band and the control signals for the second group may be transmitted through a second frequency band.

[0117] The terminal control unit 230 of the cheering light emitting device 200 can selectively receive a control signal from the control device 100 (S320).

[0118] In one embodiment, the terminal control unit 230 extracts group allocation information mapped to the image performance section from the group mapping data stored in the terminal storage unit 220, and selectively receives only the control signals that correspond to its own extracted group allocation information from among the broadcasted control signals.

[0119] The light emitting unit 240 of the cheering light emitting device 200 can operate according to the light emitting color information of the cheering light emitting device 200 corresponding to its own group information based on the selectively received control signal (S330).

[0120] In one embodiment, the terminal control unit 230 may refer to the light emitting color information (e.g., RGB color information) mapped to its own group information from the group mapping data according to its own seat position information stored in the terminal storage unit 220, and adjust the light emission of the light emitting unit 240 accordingly. In another embodiment, when the control signal selectively received by the terminal control unit 230 of the cheering light emitting device 200 includes light emitting color information, the terminal control unit 230 may adjust the light emission of the light emitting unit 240 during the corresponding image production section based on the light emitting color information (e.g., RGB color information) included in the control signal.

[0121] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the control device 100 may receive a signal from the central control device and operate in synchronization with the sound devices, lighting devices, etc. in the performance venue. In this case, the control device 100 and the supporting light emitting device 200 may receive a synchronization signal from the central control device and automatically proceed with steps S300 to S330 in synchronization with the sound devices, lighting devices, etc. in the performance venue.

[0122] FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing an example of a process performed by the control device 100 during a performance as an image production method in a performance hall according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0123] Referring to FIG. 9, the central control unit 140 of the control device 100 can determine control information for each group in each image production section (each image production scene) according to the progress of the performance based on the image production mapping data (S400).

[0124] Here, the image performance mapping data may be information in which performance scenes to be performed using the cheering light emitting devices 200 arranged at each seat in the audience seats of the performance venue are generated for each image performance section determined as the performance progresses, and group-specific control information for controlling the cheering light emitting devices 200 by group in accordance with the performance scenes for each image performance section is mapped, as described above. Also, the group-specific control information may include group information (e.g., group allocation information) generated by grouping the cheering light emitting devices 200 configured with the same light emitting color information based on each performance scene generated for each image performance section, and light emitting color information associated with each group information.

[0125] In one embodiment, the central control unit 140 may determine the image performance section based on the order of the image performance sections set in the image performance mapping data, or may determine the image performance section based on an image performance request signal received from the user. Once the image performance section is determined, the central control unit 140 of the control device 100 may acquire group-specific control information mapped to the image performance section based on the image performance mapping data.

[0126] The central control unit 140 of the control device 100 can generate a control signal based on information about the image performance section and group-specific control information for the image performance section (S410).

[0127] In one embodiment, the central control unit 140 may generate a control signal including preset light emitting color information for each group in the corresponding image performance section. Alternatively, the central control unit 140 may generate a control signal by configuring light emitting color information for each group in real time based on the group information mapped to the corresponding image performance section. In this case, the light emitting color information of the cheering light emitting devices 200 can be controlled for each group in real time, thereby providing a variety of performance scenes.

[0128] The central control unit 140 of the control device 100 can broadcast the control signal to the support light emitting devices 200 in the performance venue via wireless communication (S420).

[0129] The cheering light emitting device 200 according to one embodiment of the present invention is mapped based on seat position information in the performance venue, and group control information generated for each image performance section based on the mapped seat position information is stored in advance in the terminal storage unit 220. Therefore, it can selectively extract its own group control information (e.g., group assignment information and light emission color information) from the control signal broadcast from the central control unit 140, and control the light emission state according to its own extracted group control information (e.g., light emission color information).

[0130] Furthermore, the central control unit 140 of the control device 100 groups the cheering light emitting devices 200 based on the seat position information to which the cheering light emitting devices 200 are mapped and generates group-specific control information, so that cheering light emitting devices 200 belonging to the same group can be treated and controlled as a single unit, rather than individually controlling all of the cheering light emitting devices 200 in the performance venue. Therefore, even if there are thousands to tens of thousands of cheering light emitting devices 200 in the performance venue, they can be efficiently controlled by group.

[0131] FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing an example of a process performed by the cheering light emitting device 200 during a performance as an image production method in a performance hall according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0132] Referring to FIG. 10, a plurality of cheering light emitting devices 200 can receive a first control signal sent from the control device 100 to realize a first image performance scene (first image performance section) on the spectator seats (S500).

[0133] The plurality of cheering light emitting devices 200 can refer to the group allocation information for the first image rendering scene stored in advance in each of the plurality of cheering light emitting devices 200 (S510).

[0134] At this time, each of the plurality of cheering light emitting devices 200 is mapped based on seat position information of the performance venue, and group control information (e.g., group assignment information) generated for each image presentation scene based on each of the mapped seat position information is stored in advance. In an embodiment, the terminal storage unit 220 of the cheering light emitting device 200 stores group mapping data including group control information for each image presentation scene as shown in Table 2 above. Therefore, each of the plurality of cheering light emitting devices 200 can obtain its own group assignment information mapped to the first image presentation scene from the group mapping data stored in the terminal storage unit 220.

[0135] Among the multiple cheering light-emitting devices 200, in the first image performance scene, the 1A cheering light-emitting device group having the same group allocation information can emit light in the same state (e.g., the same color) based on the same light-emitting color information (e.g., the same light-emitting color information) in accordance with the first control signal (S520).

[0136] In one embodiment, the first control signal may include a plurality of group assignment information pieces and light emitting color information (group light emitting color information) for each pair of the plurality of groups, each pair of which is connected to form a pair to realize the first image rendering scene. The first control signal may also include light emitting color information for a first B cheering light emitting device group, which has group assignment information different from that of a first A cheering light emitting device group, in the first image rendering scene.

[0137] After receiving the first control signal from the control device 100, the multiple cheering light-emitting devices 200 can receive a second control signal sent from the control device 100 in order to realize a second image presentation scene (second image presentation section) different from the first image presentation scene on the spectator seats (S530).

[0138] In this case, the multiple cheering light emitting devices 200 refer to the group allocation information for the second image performance scene pre-stored in each of the multiple cheering light emitting devices 200 (S540), and the second A cheering light emitting device group among the multiple cheering light emitting devices 200 having the same group allocation information for the second image performance scene can emit light in the same state (e.g., color) based on the same light emitting color information (e.g., the same group light emitting color information) in accordance with the second control signal (S550).

[0139] Here, the second control signal may include a plurality of group allocation information, each of which is connected to form a pair with another group, and light emitting color information (group light emitting color information) for each pair of the plurality of groups, in order to realize the second image rendering scene. In addition, the plurality of cheering light emitting devices 200 belonging to the 1A cheering light emitting device group may be different from the plurality of cheering light emitting devices 200 belonging to the 2A cheering light emitting device group.

[0140] In this embodiment, the multiple cheering light emitting devices 200 turn on or off (extinguish) independently of each other in accordance with the individual seats in the performance venue, thereby realizing an image (image; performance scene) as a pattern of letters or figures on the audience seats in the performance venue, and among the group allocation information and group light emitting color information which are linked to each other in pairs to realize the first image performance scene or the second image performance scene, the group allocation information is stored in advance before receiving the first control signal or the second control signal.

[0141] For example, a first cheering light emitting device among the plurality of cheering light emitting devices 200 can acquire group light emitting color information corresponding to the group allocation information in the first control signal based on group allocation information previously recorded therein in response to the first image presentation scene, and emit light in a predetermined color in the first image presentation scene in response to the acquired group light emitting color information. Here, if a second cheering light emitting device among the plurality of cheering light emitting devices 200 includes the same group allocation information as the first cheering light emitting device, the second cheering light emitting device can emit light in the same color as the first cheering light emitting device in the first image presentation scene. Conversely, if the second cheering light emitting device includes group allocation information different from that of the first cheering light emitting device, the second cheering light emitting device can emit light in a different color from the first cheering light emitting device in the first image presentation scene.

[0142] FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing an example of a pre-image production preparation process performed by the seat information processing device 300 as an image production method in a performance hall according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0143] Referring to FIG. 11, the seat information processing device 300 reads the electronic code information (e.g., barcode) or electronic information, for example, seat information indicating the position of the seat in the audience seats, included in the admission ticket to acquire the seat position information (S600), and based on the acquired seat position information, can query the image presentation mapping data already set for the individual seat position corresponding to the acquired seat position (S610).

[0144] The seat information processing device 300 may record a plurality of image presentation scenes and group assignment information assigned independently to each of the plurality of image presentation scenes in the first cheering light emitting device 200 among the plurality of cheering light emitting devices 200 based on the image presentation mapping data (S620). Here, the group assignment information may be information that sets some of the plurality of cheering light emitting devices 200 that emit light in the same color corresponding to the image to be realized on the audience seats for each of the plurality of image presentation scenes in the same group. That is, the group assignment information of the first cheering light emitting device 200 may include identification information for the plurality of different image presentation scenes and mapping information for the group to which the first cheering light emitting device 200 belongs in each image presentation scene.

[0145] In one embodiment, some of the cheering light emitting devices 200 may have the same group assignment information. Also, the cheering light emitting devices 200 that emit light in the same light emission state for each of the multiple image presentation scenes may be assigned the same group assignment information, and the cheering light emitting devices 200 that have the same group assignment information may be different for each of the multiple image presentation scenes. For example, the cheering light emitting devices 200 that emit light in the first light emission state for the first image presentation scene may be assigned first group assignment information, and the cheering light emitting devices 200 that emit light in the second light emission state may be assigned second group assignment information. Also, the cheering light emitting devices 200 that belong to the first group in the first image presentation scene may be different from the cheering light emitting devices 200 that belong to the first group in the second image presentation scene.

[0146] The cheering light emitting devices 200, which store the plurality of image presentation scenes and the group assignment information assigned independently for each of the plurality of image presentation scenes, can be distributed according to seat position information. For example, an audience member who has completed steps S600 to S620 can enter the performance venue and take their seat in the cheering light emitting device 200, which stores the group assignment information for each of the plurality of image presentation scenes corresponding to their seat position information. In some embodiments, the cheering light emitting devices 200 can be issued and distributed to audience members in advance after steps S600 to S620 have been completed.

[0147] FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing another example of the image production preparation process carried out in advance by the seat information processing device 300 as an image production method in a performance hall according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0148] In one embodiment of the present invention, a spectator who intends to watch a particular performance may arrive at the performance site with a cheering light emitting device 200 that has been purchased or distributed in advance along with a paper or electronic performance ticket that has been issued in advance, and at the performance site, a performance manager may provide information for image production scenes in the audience seats of the performance venue to the cheering light emitting device 200 carried by the spectator via a seat information processing device 300.

[0149] Referring to FIG. 12, a visitor can provide a performance ticket issued in advance to a performance organizer (S700).

[0150] In one embodiment, a visitor may provide a performance organizer with a ticket that includes electronic code information such as a barcode, QR code, etc., printed on paper or issued via a smart device, etc. Here, the electronic code information may be the seat number where the visitor will be seated during the performance, as seat information for the performance venue.

[0151] The performance organizer can obtain seat position information by recognizing the electronic code information included in the ticket through the seat information processing device 300 (S710).

[0152] In one embodiment, a computer system managed by a performance manager can recognize ticket information and confirm seat position information of audience members through a seat information acquisition unit 310 of a seat information processing device 300, which is configured as a device such as an optical scanner or kiosk that can recognize electronic code information. In this case, the seat position information corresponds to the seat number where the audience member will sit during the performance, and can be used as information to identify the location of the cheering light emitting device 200 carried by the audience member. In other words, the cheering light emitting device 200 is arranged in a one-to-one mapping with the audience seats, and therefore, the audience member's seat position information can be obtained from the audience member's ticket information.

[0153] The computer system managed by the performance manager can inquire about group information for each image performance scene that is mapped to seat position information from image performance mapping data that has been pre-planned for the performance through the seat information processing device 300 (S720).

[0154] In one embodiment, a computer system managed by a performance organizer connects to a database of an external server storing image presentation mapping data for the performance or to the control device 100 via the seat information processing unit 320 of the seat information processing device 300, provides seat position information acquired from ticket information, and can query the image presentation mapping data for the performance that has been pre-mapped to that position based on the provided seat position information.

[0155] The computer system managed by the performance manager can acquire group information for each image production scene that is pre-mapped to seat position information via the seat information processing device 300 (S730).

[0156] In one embodiment, a computer system managed by a performance manager can receive group information for each image performance scene that has been pre-mapped to seat position information from a database of an external server or the control device 100 via the seat information processing unit 320 of the seat information processing device 300.

[0157] The computer system managed by the performance manager can record the image performance scene information of the performance, which is pre-mapped to the seat position information, and the group information for each image performance scene in the cheering light-emitting device 200 carried by the audience member through the seat information processing device 300 (S740).

[0158] In one embodiment, a computer system managed by a performance manager can provide the cheering light-emitting devices 200 with image performance scene information and group information for each image performance scene by tagging the cheering light-emitting devices 200 provided by the audience through the seat information recording unit 330 of the seat information processing device 300, which is composed of devices such as an RF tag device, an NFC input device, an IR (Infrared Ray) device, etc.

[0159] The audience can enter the concert hall carrying the cheering light emitting device 200 including the information recorded in step S740 and sit in the seat corresponding to the ticket information.

[0160] FIG. 13 is a diagram showing an example of a performance scene produced in the audience seats of a performance venue according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0161] In one embodiment, the control device 100 can pre-configure a performance scene to be performed in the audience seats using the cheering light-emitting devices 200 based on the position information of the audience seats. In this case, multiple performance scenes can be pre-configured depending on the scenes to be performed during the performance. FIG. 13 shows an example of one of the multiple performance scenes (500, hereinafter referred to as the first performance scene). Specifically, the Kyocera Osaka Dome is assumed. The first performance scene 500 is composed of specific text 501, "BIGBANG IS VIP," displayed along the peripheral area of ​​the audience seats (stand seats ("audience seats 2"; an area where mainly fixed seats are arranged in a tiered manner; an area where seats are arranged flatly on the ground), and specific graphic 502 displayed in the central area of ​​the audience seats (arena seats ("audience seats 1"; an area where movable seats are arranged flatly on the ground). The control device 100 can group the cheering light emitting devices 200 configured with the same light emitting color information (e.g., color information) based on the first performance scene 500, and generate multiple groups for the first performance scene 500. For example, each character included in specific text ("BIGBANG IS VIP") 501 can be configured as a group, and each specific graphic 502 can be configured as a group. In this case, each group can include multiple cheering light emitting devices 200 located in the audience seats that display the corresponding characters or graphics. That is, the control device 100 can group the cheering light emitting devices 200 in the audience seats into first to n-th groups based on the position information of the audience seats, taking into account the performance pattern (e.g., color information) of the first performance scene 500.

[0162] The cheering light emitting devices 200 can be arranged in a 1:1 mapping with the audience seats in the performance venue, and store group information assigned to each performance scene before the performance based on the position information of the audience seats. For example, the first cheering light emitting device 510 can be set to belong to the first group in the first performance scene 500 based on its own seat position information.

[0163] When a performance is being performed, the control device 100 can generate control signals based on group information set for each pre-configured performance scene and broadcast the control signals via wireless communication. For example, when performing a first performance scene 500 during a performance, the control device 100 can generate and send control signals including light-emitting color information (e.g., color information) for each of the first through nth groups set in the first performance scene 500. The control device 100 can control the light-emitting state for each group in real time, or dynamically change the performance scene, taking into account the atmosphere of the performance site and the performance effect. For example, the control device 100 can control the light-emitting state of the cheering light-emitting devices 200 belonging to the first group by changing the red information already set for the first group to green on-site in real time and sending a control signal. Alternatively, the control device 100 can dynamically modify the outline of the shape realized by the first and second groups by sending control signals with the same color information to each of the adjacent first and second groups, instead of the color information already set for each group.

[0164] When the cheering light emitting device 200 receives a control signal including group-specific light emitting color information (e.g., color information) for the first performance scene 500 from the control device 100, the cheering light emitting device 200 can refer to group assignment information for the first performance scene 500 pre-stored in the cheering light emitting device 200 and operate according to the light emitting color information (e.g., color information) corresponding to the referred group assignment information. For example, since the first cheering light emitting device 510 is assigned group assignment information as belonging to the first group in the first performance scene 500 before the performance begins, when the first cheering light emitting device 510 receives a control signal for the first performance scene 500 from the control device 100, the first cheering light emitting device 510 can operate according to the light emitting color information (e.g., color information) set for the first group in the control signal.

[0165] FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating group information for a performance scene to be performed in the audience seats of a performance venue according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0166] According to an embodiment of the present invention, each rendering scene may be expressed by grouping it into a plurality of groups, and each group may include group assignment information and light-emitting color information (e.g., color information) corresponding to the group assignment information. For convenience of explanation, FIG. 14 illustrates only some of the rendering scenes composed of the first to nth groups. In this embodiment, a method of bundling spectator seats into specific units to form one group will be described. For example, the first to fourth groups (600-603) are each formed by dividing the spectator seats into M×N units. In this case, the first to fourth groups (600-603) may be rendered with different color information or the same color information. Furthermore, one group may be composed of further lower-level subgroups. For example, the fourth group 603 may include subgroups 4-1 to 4-n, each of which may consist of 1×N units. In this way, when subgroups are included, various effects such as gradation, surfing, sequential lighting and extinguishing can be performed within one group.

[0167] According to one embodiment of the present invention, each performance scene can be divided into specific units, making it easy to modify or change the performance scene in real time during the performance. Therefore, in the case of a performance that emphasizes the atmosphere of the venue, interaction with the audience, dynamic performance effects, etc., it is effective to form groups in advance into specific units and create performance data for the audience.

[0168] The steps of a method or algorithm described in connection with the embodiments of the present invention may be implemented directly in hardware, by a software module executed by hardware, or by a combination thereof. The software module may reside in Random Access Memory (RAM), Read Only Memory (ROM), Erasable Programmable ROM (EPROM), Electrically Erasable Programmable ROM (EEPROM), Flash Memory, a hard disk, a removable disk, a CD-ROM, or any other form of computer-readable storage medium known in the art to which the present invention pertains.

[0169] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention can be embodied in other specific forms without changing the technical spirit or essential characteristics thereof. Therefore, the above-described embodiments should be understood as illustrative in all respects and not restrictive.

[0170] According to one preferred embodiment of the present invention, the following is true.

[0171] In recent years, multipurpose stadiums capable of hosting athletic events such as soccer and baseball, as well as large-scale concerts, have been constructed and utilized throughout the country. For example, the Osaka Dome (Kyocera Dome Osaka), a circular stadium, is used for large-scale concerts after sunset. During concerts, seats are arranged not only in the arc-shaped tiered seating (stand seats) but also in the arena seating inside. In recent years, spectators have begun to use light-emitting devices called concert lights or penlights, especially bright fluorescent light-emitting devices, which they wave around or light up all at once. These devices are used to liven up the atmosphere in the venue and to cheer on performers. In this case, not only can the light-emitting patterns be seen from the stage, but also, for example, from the stands, the light-emitting patterns projected on the opposing stands and arena seats can be seen, and the light-emitting patterns of the stands can also be seen from the arena seats. Furthermore, during games held after sunset, such as night games, spectators in the stands may wave their light-emitting devices to cheer on the team.

[0172] The light-emitting devices that each audience member holds or wears are especially those equipped with LED light sources. Recently, wireless penlight-type (like a cheering stick) or wristband-type (like a watch or bracelet) devices have also been used, with the lights being controlled by the performers themselves ("IT-Powered Music Live: Wireless Technology Turns the Venue into a Sea of ​​Light," Nikkei Shimbun, January 15, 2014, 7:00 AM). One example is "dividing the audience into 10 groups based on where they are seated," with "each group's penlights lit up in different colors and brightness."

[0173] The cheering light-emitting device used in one embodiment of the present invention is capable of expressing a wide range of colors (color and brightness). Specifically, it may include LED light sources for each basic color, such as RGB, or a combination of a blue or ultraviolet LED light source and a color conversion element for each basic color, or a combination of a white LED and a color filter. The cheering light-emitting device used in the present invention also includes at least a communication function in addition to the light-emitting unit. This communication function may be a direct wireless connection to the performance organizer's system (a computer system managed by the performance organizer or performers) or may be a wireless or wired connection to the audience's smart device to communicate with the performance organizer's system via the smart device. Therefore, the information receiving unit 210, terminal storage unit 220, and terminal control unit 230 included in the cheering light-emitting device 200 shown in FIG. 4 may be partially included in the smart device. In this case, the cheering light-emitting device 200 comprises a type of wireless penlight and part of the smart device. The wireless communication in this application can be performed using radio waves (30 to 300 MHz), but may also be performed using infrared rays.

[0174] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the light emission of each cheering light-emitting device can be freely controlled like the pixels in a full-color matrix display device, allowing a variety of images to be displayed sequentially on the spectator seats. In particular, a single performance scene can be created by displaying images in multiple parts of the spectator seats (for example, the stands and the arena seats inside, or the first-base and third-base sides of the stands). This performance scene is switched sequentially at appropriate times in accordance with the progress of the performance.

[0175] In one embodiment of the present invention, in order to minimize the amount of data communication between each cheering light-emitting device and the performance organizer's system, the following A to C are adopted.

[0176] A1 Each scene is represented by a relatively small number of colors, for example, 30 or less, 20 or less, 10 or less, or 5 or less colors. Each color area may be a single continuous area, or may be distributed over multiple locations.

[0177] A2 Seat position information indicating the seat position within the audience is stored in advance in each cheering light-emitting device. For example, the seat position information is acquired and stored based on the information included in the performance ticket when entering the venue, when the performance ticket is issued, or after entering the venue.

[0178] A3 Each production scene can be expressed by a combination of color (hue and brightness) and information about the range (that is, a set of corresponding seat position information) for each color area.

[0179] A4 When expressing each color area, the identification code or identification number of the corresponding color area is associated as group allocation information for each seat position information, i.e., for each cheering light-emitting device. The group mapping data is created by associating this group allocation information with the sequential number of the performance scene (Table 2).

[0180] A5 For each performance scene, the identification code or identification number of the color area is associated with the color (color and brightness) information to create image performance mapping data (Table 1).

[0181] A6 Before displaying a target performance scene, each support light-emitting device is provided with the corresponding group mapping data and image performance mapping data. That is, at least the group mapping data and image performance mapping data for the target performance scene are provided. At this time, the group mapping data is provided first. Therefore, each support light-emitting device acquires only the color information that it plans to emit based on the group mapping data (group allocation information for the target performance scene). That is, even if it receives color information for other groups (areas of other colors) in each performance scene, it does not store it in the terminal storage unit.

[0182] A7 In order to switch the performance scenes as the performance progresses, the performance organizer's system broadcasts (radio broadcasts) control signals to each support light-emitting device.

[0183] A8 The broadcast control signal may include image rendering mapping data for the next rendering scene to be displayed or for subsequent rendering scenes (FIG. 8).

[0184] A9: The group mapping data can be stored in each cheering light-emitting device when the seat position information A2 is acquired (FIG. 11).

[0185] A10 By following steps A8 and A9 above, the number and range of color areas are already set for each production scene, but the specific colors (including brightness) can be changed as the performance progresses, as needed, to match the atmosphere of the venue, etc. Also, if the same color information is set for adjacent color areas, the two color areas will merge, and the boundary between them will no longer be visible.

[0186] A11 If the group allocation information is expressed by a range of coordinate positions, by including it in a control signal and broadcasting it, new group mapping data can be assigned to the cheering light-emitting devices within this range, or the stored group mapping data can be at least partially modified.

[0187] A12 The light color information may include information about the flashing interval and duration. This allows the cheering light-emitting devices of a specific group to flash in a specific manner while a specific performance scene is being performed. Note that in this application, the term "color" of light emission includes both black and flashing states.
