Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a control signal automatic transmission system based on a fixed repeater.More specifically, it relates to a control signal automatic transmission system based on a fixed repeater that is set to automatically transmit a signal for controlling a light-emitting device to emit light in a predetermined pattern, and that automatically reproduces the received predetermined pattern of the light-emitting device.
Background Art
[0002] Light-emitting devices are manufactured to display various colors in a dark space and activate a magnificent effect, and are used not only as cheering props in concerts and showcases, but also in night activities and various events such as sports events, festivals, and parades.
[0003] In recent years, light-emitting devices are not limited to simple cheering props, and by controlling the light-emitting devices owned by people on the management side, such as combining multiple devices to create specific characters and shapes, various performances can be achieved in events.
[0004] However, such light-emitting devices are still only used as part of the performance only at the concert venue, and in situations where the location is changed or a small number of people gather compared to the concert staff, it is difficult to be utilized due to transmission distance constraints, location constraints, and the absence of the administrator.
[0005] Furthermore, even in situations where control such as a complex performance is not required, an operator is essentially required to perform the performance, so there is also a problem of wasting human resources.
[0006] Therefore, there is a situation where discussions have emerged to expand the scope of utilization of performances using light-emitting devices.

[0064] The input / output system 150 can sense user input related to the theme presentation service (e.g., gestures, voice commands, button activations, or other types of input).
[0065] For this purpose, the input / output system 150 may include a sensor system 160 and a display system 170.
[0066] Specifically, the input / output system 150 may include predetermined buttons, touch sensors, and / or image sensors for receiving user motion input.

[0093] • Repeater 200 The relay 200 in the embodiment of the present invention may be a computing device that receives control signals from an automatic transmission program 111 that provides theme performance services and transmits the received control signals to a light-emitting device 300.
[0094] Specifically, in this embodiment, the repeater 200 can communicate with the communication processor 130 of the terminal 100 via a wired or wireless network to acquire control signals including at least one library and to send out the acquired control signals.
[0095] In one embodiment, the repeater 200 may be a device that is fixedly installed in a predetermined space and transmits a predetermined control signal to at least one or more light-emitting devices sensed within a preset range.
[0096] Such a repeater 200 may further be equipped with a predetermined sensing sensor (for example, an infrared sensor) to detect spectators (hereinafter referred to as users) who enter within a preset range.
[0097] In this embodiment, the repeater 200 may include a repeater terminal, an antenna, and / or a distance adjuster.
[0098] The repeater terminal and antenna may be in a 1:1 and / or 1:n relationship. In this case, the antenna may be a directional antenna.
[0099] The repeater terminal can be installed in an indoor space, and the antenna can be installed in an outdoor space. For example, the repeater terminal can be installed on a wall or ceiling in an indoor space, and the antenna can be installed on the exterior wall and railing of a building in an outdoor space. Furthermore, the repeater terminal can also be installed on a predetermined mobile device (e.g., a parade car).
[0100] Furthermore, the relay terminal may include an LCD display. In this case, the LCD display may show predetermined information downloaded for the purpose of providing a theme presentation service.
[0101] The distance adjuster may be a switch-type and / or dial-type attenuator. The distance adjuster may also be an externally mounted type. Furthermore, the distance adjuster can adjust the dial and / or minimum distance. For example, the administrator can adjust the repeater's dial in 5 dBm increments based on the distance adjuster. In this case, the administrator can adjust the signal range distance in meters (m). Here, the minimum signal range distance may be 20 m.
[0102] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the repeater 200 may further include a custom case that can be manufactured depending on the client's installation environment.
[0103] Such a repeater 200 has the advantage that, as long as the repeater is installed in a predetermined location, it can send control signals without the need to individually detect the location of each light-emitting device, thus allowing for easy control of multiple light-emitting devices without individual pairing.
[0104] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the repeater 200 can transmit a predetermined control signal to at least one or more light-emitting devices detected within a range predetermined by the setting information.
[0105] In this embodiment, the setting information may include signal radius, radio wave direction, and at least one library and / or scenario included in the control signal. Such setting information can be pre-configured by the theme performance service administrator (hereinafter referred to as the administrator), and the details of the setting information will be described later.
[0106] For this purpose, terminal 100 and / or repeater 200 can generate and configure setting information applicable to the repeater 200.
[0107] Figure 3 is an internal block diagram of a repeater according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0108] As shown in Figure 3, the repeater 200 may include a control signal transmission unit 210, a control signal reception unit 220, an input system 230, and a control unit 240. These components can be configured to be contained within the housing of the repeater 200.
[0109] Specifically, the control signal transmission unit 210 may include one or more devices for communicating with the terminal 100.
[0110] Furthermore, the control signal transmission unit 210 can also communicate with other terminals in order to realize an environment for control signal communication.
[0111] In this embodiment, the control signal transmission unit 210 can send and receive various data related to control signal communication with other terminals and / or external servers.
[0112] Such a control signal transmission unit 210 can wirelessly transmit and receive data with at least one of a base station, an external terminal, any server, or an antenna on a mobile communication network constructed via a communication device capable of using technical standards or communication methods for mobile communication (e.g., LTE (Long Term Evolution), LTE-A (Long Term Evolution-Advanced), 5G NR (New Radio), WIFI), short-range communication methods (e.g., NFC, RFID), and / or wireless communication methods (RF, IR).
[0113] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the control signal transmission unit 210 can transmit information based on a short-range communication method.
[0114] For this purpose, in an embodiment, the control signal transmission unit 210 may include a wireless communication module for short-range communication (for example, at least one of NFC, RF transceiver, Zigbee, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi modules).
[0115] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the control signal transmission unit 210 can transmit the control signal transmitted from the terminal 100 to at least one other device (in this embodiment, a light-emitting device 300) in a one-to-many manner.
[0116] For example, the control signal transmission unit 210 can transmit control signals to at least one or more light-emitting devices 300 using a broadcasting method (an all-to-all communication method that transmits traffic to an unspecified number of recipients without specifying a recipient).
[0117] Specifically, the control signal transmission unit 210 can send control signals to nearby light-emitting devices using a pre-configured broadcasting protocol, and light-emitting devices located in close proximity and configured to receive broadcast signals using a pre-configured broadcasting protocol can receive the transmitted control signals and operate according to the received control signals.
[0118] In this case, the pre-configured broadcasting protocol can refer to the frequency band and the control signal encoding / decoding method. Such a control signal transmission unit 210 may include a broadcast transmitter. The broadcast transmitter includes an exciter composed of an oscillator and a modulator, and can modulate the control signal received from the terminal 100 into radio waves in the frequency band determined by the pre-configured broadcasting protocol, and transmit the RF signal via the antenna.
[0119] The control signal transmission unit 210, by utilizing a broadcasting method, overcomes the shortcomings of Bluetooth (BLE) technology, such as low transmission speed, short transmission distance, small data capacity transmission, and excessive power consumption. It also facilitates the control of multiple light-emitting devices, saves the user time required for pairing with each light-emitting device separately with the light-emitting device control signal relay unit 200, and increases the speed of data transmission.
[0120] In addition, in this embodiment, the control signal transmission unit 210 can continuously send control signals (e.g., infinite roofing) to activate a predetermined library when a specific event and / or trigger is acquired.
[0121] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the control signal transmission unit 210 can change the library included in the control signal when a specific event and / or trigger is acquired.
[0122] For example, the specific event and / or trigger may include detecting a person's approach based on a predetermined sensor, detecting input from a light-emitting device, or a pre-set performance cycle.
[0123] On the other hand, the control signal receiving unit 220 can receive control signals from other terminals, including terminal 100, and / or from a server.
[0124] Such a control signal receiving unit 220, like the control signal transmitting unit 210, may include one or more devices for communicating with the terminal 100, and their contents are the same, so the above explanation is omitted by analogy.
[0125] The input system 230 can sense user input related to the theme presentation service (e.g., gestures, voice commands, button presses, or other types of input).
[0126] For this purpose, the input system 230 may include predetermined buttons, controllers, touch sensors, and / or image sensors for receiving user motion input.
[0127] Furthermore, the input system 230 can be connected to an external controller via an interface unit to receive user input.
[0128] Furthermore, the input system 230 can receive user input (for example, touch input, mouse input, keyboard input, gesture input, motion input using a guide tool, etc.).
[0129] For example, the repeater 200 can be wired and / or wirelessly connected to at least one device, such as a numeric keypad or an IR remote control, using various communication protocols to acquire user input.
[0130] In this case, the repeater 200 may be equipped with an interface unit (for example, a USB connection port) to acquire user input via a wired connection.
[0131] In other words, the types of inputs received by the input system 230 of the repeater 200 may include direct input, wired input and / or wireless input.
[0132] For example, the input can be made based on a series of wired and wireless input devices (e.g., keyboard, numeric keypad, mouse, remote control, etc.) connected to the USB connection port of the repeater 200.
[0133] In the case of wired input, control is possible over a distance equal to the length of the cable. In the case of wireless input, control can be performed based on IR, RF, NFC, Bluetooth, and / or a remote control linked to the repeater 200. In this case, there should be no obstacles in front of the IR sensor of the repeater 200 and / or the remote control.
[0134] The control unit 240 may include at least one processor capable of executing instructions for sending and receiving at least one control signal in order to perform various tasks for generating a theme performance service environment.
[0135] In this embodiment, the control unit 240 can control the overall operation of the components of the repeater 200 in order to provide a theme presentation service. In implementing the control unit 240, the above description applies mutatis mutandis to the contents of the processor assembly 120 of the terminal 100.
[0136] • Lighting device 300 In embodiments of the present invention, the light-emitting device 300 may be a predetermined device that emits light in response to a control signal, which includes setting values such as brightness, saturation, and effect, received from the terminal 100 and / or the repeater 200 based on a theme performance service.
[0137] Figure 4 is an internal block diagram of a light-emitting device according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0138] As shown in Figure 4, in this embodiment, the light-emitting device 300 may include a short-range communication unit 310, an information receiving unit 320, a light-emitting unit 330, a storage unit 340, a battery 350, a charging unit 360, a sensor unit 370, an input unit 380, and a processor 390.
[0139] The short-range communication unit 310 may include one or more devices for communicating with external devices. Such a short-range communication unit 310 can communicate via a wired and / or wireless network.
[0140] In this embodiment, the short-range communication unit 310 can send and receive various data related to the theme performance service with other terminals and / or external servers.
[0141] The short-range communication unit 310 may include a wireless communication module (for example, at least one of NFC, RF transceiver, Zigbee, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi module).
[0142] The information receiving unit 320 may include a broadcast receiver that receives information transmitted by the repeater 200 and other devices using a broadcasting method. Specifically, the broadcast receiver can receive radio waves transmitted from the repeater 200 via an antenna, and can acquire control signals by selecting control signals from the received radio waves.
[0143] In this embodiment, the information receiving unit 320 can receive the light emission pattern control signal included in the control signal emitted from the repeater 200 in a broadcasting manner via the method described above.
[0144] The light-emitting unit 330 can perform the function of emitting light in response to a control signal received based on the information receiving unit 320.
[0145] The light-emitting section 330 may include one or more light source elements, such as light-emitting diodes (LEDs). The light-emitting section 330 may also include LEDs of different hues, for example, at least one of red LEDs, green LEDs, blue LEDs, and white LEDs.
[0146] By mixing the light emitted from each of these LEDs, a wide range of hues can be produced. The resulting mixed color is determined based on the ratio of the light intensity emitted from each LED, and the light intensity emitted from each LED can be proportional to the drive current of each LED.
[0147] The multiple LEDs included in the light-emitting unit 330 can be arranged in a dot pattern, but by selectively lighting up multiple LEDs under the control of the processor 390 (described later), specific phrases (text), images, or pictures can be displayed.
[0148] In the above explanation, an LED was used as an example of the light source for the light-emitting section 330, but the type of light source is not limited to an LED. In other embodiments, an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) can also be used as the light source.
[0149] The storage unit 340 can store one or more of the following: various application programs, applications, data, and command words for providing a theme presentation service environment.
[0150] Furthermore, the storage unit 340 can store data received from or generated by other components of the automatic transmission system. The storage unit 340 may be various storage devices such as ROM, EPROM, flash drive, hard drive, and / or USB drive, and may include memory, cache, and buffer.
[0151] In this embodiment, the storage unit 340 can pre-store information necessary for the light-emitting device 300 to perform its light-emitting function.
[0152] In this embodiment, such a storage unit 340 can store at least one library and / or scenarios that define the light emission modes in which the light-emitting device 300 operates. Further details will be described later.
[0153] In addition, in this embodiment, the storage unit 340 can store information necessary for performing theme presentation services.
[0154] The battery 350 can be powered by external and / or internal power supplied under the control of the processor 390, supplying the power necessary for operation to each component of the light-emitting device 300.
[0155] Such a battery 350 may further include a DC / DC converter that can convert the given power supply to a voltage level that can be used by the mounting body of the light-emitting device 300, etc.
[0156] Furthermore, the battery 350 includes at least one battery cell. The type of each battery cell is not particularly limited, as long as it is capable of repeated charging and discharging, such as a lithium-ion cell.
[0157] The charging unit 360 may include wired and wireless charging modules for providing wired and wireless charging processes that supply the power necessary for the operation of the light-emitting device 300.
[0158] The sensor unit 370 may include at least one sensor from among a position sensor (IMU), an acceleration sensor, a gyroscope, a distance sensor, a proximity sensor, a contact sensor, and an illumination sensor.
[0159] Specifically, the position sensor (IMU) included in the sensor unit 370 can sense at least one of the motion and acceleration of the light-emitting device 300. For example, it can consist of a combination of various position sensors such as an accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer.
[0160] The input unit 380 can sense user input related to the theme presentation service (e.g., gestures, button presses, or other types of input).
[0161] Specifically, the input unit 380 may be equipped with predetermined buttons and / or touch sensors.
[0162] Furthermore, the input unit 380 can be connected to an external controller to receive user input.
[0163] The processor 390 can perform data processing functions, such as controlling the overall operation of the light-emitting device 300, including power supply control, and controlling the signal flow between the internal components of the light-emitting device 300, as well as processing data. Such a processor 390 may comprise at least one processor.
[0164] Furthermore, the processor 390 can communicate internally with each component via a system bus, and may include one or more predetermined bus structures, including a local bus.
[0165] Furthermore, the processor 390 can be implemented by comprising at least one of the following: ASICs (application-specific integrated circuits), DSPs (digital signal processors), DSPDs (digital signal processing devices), PLDs (programmable logic devices), FPGAs (field programmable gate arrays), controllers, microcontrollers, microprocessors, and other electrical units for functional execution.
[0166] In this embodiment, the processor 390 can control the light emission pattern of the light emitted from the light-emitting unit 330 by controlling the drive current of each LED in the light-emitting unit 330.
[0167] Through this, in the embodiment, the processor 390 can control the light-emitting device 300, which includes multiple LEDs, and form predetermined phrases, images, and so on.
[0168] The light-emitting device 300, including the configuration described above, can be operated by at least one data stored in the storage unit 340 under the control of the processor 390.
[0169] This allows the automated broadcasting system to provide spectators with light-emitting devices 300, and if spectators use a designated interactive space while holding the provided light-emitting devices 300, it can provide a themed performance service that features event-like effects where the light-emitting pattern changes in accordance with the changes in the space.
[0170] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the light-emitting device 300 can emit light based on the light-emitting unit 330 in response to a control signal received from the repeater 200.
[0171] In this case, the control signal may include instruction data that activates the light-emitting device 300 to emit light according to a library and / or scenario pre-stored in the device.
[0172] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the light-emitting device 300 can sense the movement and acceleration of the light-emitting device 300 based on the sensor unit 370.
[0173] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the light-emitting device 300 can recognize ambient sounds based on the sensor unit 370 and be controlled to emit light in accordance with the recognized sounds. For example, the louder the recognized sound, the brighter the light can be emitted.
[0174] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the light-emitting device 300 can transmit the data sensed by the sensor unit 370 and / or input unit to other devices (for example, terminal 100 and / or repeater 200).
[0175] In another embodiment, the light-emitting device 300 can operate passively in response to command signals (control signals) transmitted from an external source. In yet another embodiment, the light-emitting device 300 can also operate autonomously based on an input unit 380 (for example, a predetermined button).
[0176] The concept of operation can be diverse and is not limited to just one. For example, various forms of operation are possible depending on the type of light-emitting device 300 (e.g., a lighting stick and / or a wearable device), such as light emission operation, sound generation operation, and mechanical operation.
[0177] • Method for automatically transmitting control signals based on a fixed relay station. Hereinafter, a method by which a control unit 240, executed by at least one processor of a repeater 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention, automatically sends control signals based on a fixed repeater in order to provide a theme performance service will be described in detail with reference to the attached Figures 5 to 8.
[0178] On the other hand, in order to cause the repeater 200 to automatically send control signals based on the fixed repeater based on the control unit 240, in an embodiment of the present invention, at least one processor of the terminal 100 can execute or operate at least one automatic transmission program 111 stored in at least one memory 110.
[0179] Hereinafter, it will be briefly explained that the automatic transmission program 111 assists the repeater 200 in automatically transmitting control signals based on the fixed repeater by operating at least one processor of the terminal 100 to execute instructions in the memory 110.
[0180] Furthermore, it can be briefly explained that the control unit 240 performs the operation of at least one processor of the repeater 200 to execute instructions of the control unit 240, and that it performs the method of automatically sending control signals based on the fixed repeater described above.
[0181] Figure 5 is a flowchart illustrating a method for automatically transmitting control signals based on a fixed repeater according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0182] As shown in Figure 5, in this embodiment, the automatic transmission program 111 can generate and store libraries based on the library setting interface. (S101)
[0183] Here, the library setting interface according to the embodiment may be an interface that provides a production environment for generating a library that defines the light emission modes in which the light-emitting device 300 operates and / or a scenario that combines multiple such libraries. Since the scenario is later set according to the theme of each space, it may also be called a "theme performance plan".
[0184] Specifically, in this embodiment, the automatic transmission program 111 can generate a library of data which is pre-set data of light emission patterns that cause the light-emitting device 300 to emit light for a predetermined period of time based on the library setting interface.
[0185] Here, the light emission pattern refers to the light emission mode in which the light-emitting device 300 operates, based on components including a light emission mode (for example, On mode, OFF mode, and sound recognition mode), light emission hue, light emission time, light emission brightness, and light emission effect.
[0186] In this case, the luminescence effect can mean a luminescence mode in which the components, etc., are set to change within a predetermined time, thereby generating a dynamic visual effect.
[0187] Figure 6 is an example of a drawing illustrating a library and scenario according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0188] As shown in Figure 6, in this embodiment, scenario SCE may include at least one library LB1, LB2, LB3.
[0189] A scenario SCE can refer to a single set of multiple libraries LB, each with a pre-configured light emission pattern, combined in a predetermined order.
[0190] Specifically, a scenario SCE can refer to a set of library data that is played back while located within a signal radius where a control signal is received, with the order and duration of multiple libraries LB set accordingly. Such a scenario may include a predetermined identification number.
[0191] Furthermore, a single library may include the library name 400 and the first to fourth setting values 411, 412, 413, and 41, which are the constituent setting values for each light emission pattern (hereinafter referred to as light emission pattern setting values).
[0192] Library name 400 may include at least one of the following: a predetermined identification number and / or text.
[0193] The first setting value 411 can be data for the emission hue, the second setting value 412 can be data for the emission time, the third setting value 413 can be data for the emission brightness, and the fourth setting value 41 can be data for the emission effect.
[0194] Here, a light emission pattern maintained for a predetermined time according to a second setting value 412, which is data for the emission time, can be referred to as "part 410". In other words, a library can contain at least one or more parts. Typically, a given part can be repeatedly played within the library.
[0195] The light emission pattern settings may be data that expresses all the hues, durations, brightnesses, and effects that the light-emitting device can achieve, either as values or text.
[0196] For example, the first setting value 411 can be set to a hexadecimal code (RGB565 notation) representing the RGB hue, the second setting value 412 can be set to a value representing the duration in seconds, the third setting value 413 can be set to a brightness value between 0 and 100, where a higher value indicates greater brightness, and the fourth setting value 41 can be set to text representing a predetermined effect.
[0197] Specifically, with the first setting value 411, the emission hue of the light-emitting device can be expressed in more than 65,535 hues.
[0198] For example, the first setting value 411, which displays the emission hue, can be represented using the RGB565 notation as values (0,0,0), (0,0,1), (0,0,2)...(n,n,n). Similarly, the third setting value 413, which displays the emission brightness, can be represented using values of 0,1,2,...n, where the brighter the light, the larger the value.
[0199] Furthermore, the fourth setting value 41 may include 1) a blink effect, where the ability to emit light differs depending on the time of day within a predetermined period, causing the light-emitting device to flash rapidly; 2) a gradation effect, where the hue differs depending on the time of day within a predetermined period, causing the emitted hue to gradually change; and 3) a fade-in / out effect, where the brightness differs depending on the time of day, causing the brightness to gradually decrease or increase.
[0200] As shown in Figure 6, for example, the first library LB1 may include a library name 400 with the identification number "00" and the text "Position". It may also include a first part 410 having first to fourth setting values 411, 412, 413, and 41 defined as "Fade in and out in white hue for 3 seconds, and then no light for 2 seconds". Furthermore, the first part 410 may be repeatedly played within the first library LB1.
[0201] In other words, in this embodiment, the automatic transmission program 111 can generate and store libraries by determining at least one or more light emission pattern setting values included in each library based on the library setting interface.
[0202] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the automatic transmission program 111 can combine at least one library generated based on the library setting interface to generate and store in a scenario.
[0203] In an embodiment, the automatic transmission program 111 may store libraries and / or scenarios directly generated based on the automatic transmission program 111, or it may acquire and store libraries and / or scenarios generated by an external terminal and / or server. The objects transmitted to the repeater and light-emitting device may be libraries and / or scenarios, but for the sake of explanation, they will be referred to as libraries below.
[0204] A scenario containing at least one library LB1, LB2, LB3 stored in this manner can correspond to, for example, a single space consisting of multiple divided spaces (hereinafter referred to as sections) (e.g., a theme park attraction space). Furthermore, each of the multiple sections contained within the space can correspond to a library. That is, while a visitor is located in the section and using the attraction, the light-emitting device 300 can change its light-emitting pattern and operate according to the light-emitting pattern setting value of the library included in the scenario.
[0205] For example, if a scenario SCE is set up in a first theme space that includes the first to third spaces, and includes the first to third libraries LB1, LB2, and LB3, then the first library LB1 can be played in the first space, the second library LB2 in the second space, and the third library LB3 in the third space.
[0206] Furthermore, the control signals according to this embodiment may include instruction data that activates the light-emitting device 300 (for example, execute, repeat, interrupt, or terminate) using such a library.
[0207] For this purpose, the light-emitting device 300 has libraries and / or scenarios pre-stored in it, and the light-emitting device 300 according to the embodiment can execute, interrupt, or terminate one of the pre-stored libraries and / or scenarios in response to the acquired control signals.
[0208] In addition, in this embodiment, the automatic transmission program 111 can transmit the generated library to the repeater 200 and the light-emitting device 300. (S103)
[0209] For this purpose, in the embodiment, the automatic output program 111 can store the generated library on an SD card and / or a portable drive.
[0210] As a result, in this embodiment, the administrator can connect the SD card and / or mobile drive to the repeater 200 and transmit and store the library in the repeater 200. Furthermore, by linking the terminal 100 and the light-emitting device 300, the library can also be transmitted and stored in multiple light-emitting devices 300.
[0211] At this time, the LCD window of the repeater according to the embodiment may display the scenario identification number and the names of at least one library included in the scenario.
[0212] In addition, in this embodiment, the control unit 240 can generate setting information based on the transmitted library. (S105)
[0213] In an embodiment, the setting information may include the signal radius, the direction of the radio waves, and at least one library and playback mode included in the control signal.
[0214] The signal radius can refer to the range that the control signal reaches. The radio wave direction can refer to the radio wave direction of a directional antenna, which has the property that the strength of electromagnetic waves changes depending on the direction. The playback mode is a setting for the playback method of the library to be played, and can be at least one of single playback, continuous playback, and repeat playback.
[0215] In other words, in this embodiment, the control unit 240 can generate setting information that sets a first library to be reproduced by the repeater 200 from among the transmitted libraries, the signal radius, the radio wave direction, and / or the reproduction mode.
[0216] For example, the signal radius can be set in meters (m), such as 25m, and the direction of the radio waves can be set in the same way as the direction of movement of the spectators.
[0217] The administrator in this embodiment can check the information displayed on the LCD window of the repeater 200 and input the generated setting information by operating the repeater 200 with the input system 230. For example, the administrator can determine the scenario and playback mode based on inputs made using the controller, buttons, etc., of the repeater 200.
[0218] In this way, once the setting information input is completed for each repeater, the administrator according to the embodiment can place each repeater in the space matched to that repeater.
[0219] Figure 7 is an example of a diagram illustrating the space in which a repeater according to an embodiment of the present invention is installed.
[0220] As shown in Figure 7, the first to fourth spaces 601, 602, 603, and 604 according to the embodiment can be fitted and installed in matching configurations with the first to fourth repeaters 501, 502, 503, and 504, respectively.
[0221] In this case, the signal radius of the first repeater 501 may be the radius corresponding to the first space 601. That is, while the spectators are in the first space 601, the light-emitting devices 300 held by each spectator can operate in accordance with the control signal of the first repeater 501.
[0222] In this case, if the first to fourth spaces 601, 602, 603, and 604 are adjacent to each other, there may be cases where signals overlap at the boundaries of each space, and overlapping zones OLZ1, OLZ2, and OLZ3 can be set for each boundary.
[0223] In these overlapping zones OLZ1, OLZ2, and OLZ3, radio wave blockers may be installed to minimize control signal interference.
[0224] On the other hand, in this embodiment, the light-emitting device 300 can be activated by its own process when the control signals provided by the radio wave blocker are interrupted when a visitor enters the superimposed areas OLZ1, OLZ2, and OLZ3. Details of this will be described later.
[0225] In addition, in this embodiment, the control unit 240 can automatically send control signals including a library based on the setting information. (S107)
[0226] Specifically, in this embodiment, the control unit 240 can automatically send a control signal including a library to at least one or more light-emitting devices 300 located within the signal radius included in the setting information. In this embodiment, the control unit 240 can send the control signal using a broadcasting method.
[0227] In this embodiment, once the installation of repeaters in each space is complete, the administrator can start the automatic transmission of control signals by making a predetermined input based on the input system 230 of each repeater 200.
[0228] In this case, since a limited number of predetermined personnel enter each space either by riding in a means of transport or by entering at predetermined time intervals, it is virtually impossible for multiple light-emitting devices 300 to enter and operate within the signal radius simultaneously.
[0229] Therefore, in this embodiment, the control unit 240 can group together at least one or more light-emitting devices 300 that have been sensed within a predetermined time. For example, it can group together multiple light-emitting devices 300 that are contained within the signal radius of the first space within 5 seconds.
[0230] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the control unit 240 can simultaneously send control signals to a group of multiple light-emitting devices 300.
[0231] In other words, in this embodiment, the control unit 240 can transmit the control signal to the light-emitting device 300 located within a predetermined radius. (S109)
[0232] As a result, the light-emitting device 300, which is configured to receive control signals of a pre-set broadcasting protocol, can receive the transmitted control signals.
[0233] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the light-emitting device 300 can emit light in response to the transmitted control signal. (S111)
[0234] Specifically, in this embodiment, the light-emitting device 300 can emit light by operating a library in response to a control signal that includes a control command for activating a pre-stored library.
[0235] If the light-emitting devices 300 are grouped together, the grouped light-emitting devices 300 can emit light simultaneously in response to simultaneously transmitted control signals.
[0236] On the other hand, in this embodiment, when the light-emitting device 300 enters the superimposed area, it can emit light through its own process based on the library that was being played back.
[0237] Figure 8 is an example of a diagram illustrating the light emission process in the superimposed area of a light-emitting device according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0238] As shown in Figure 8, in this embodiment, the light-emitting device 300 can operate in the first library in the first space 601 affected by the signal radius of the first repeater 501, and in the second library in the second space 602 affected by the signal radius of the second repeater 502.
[0239] However, in areas Z1 and Z2 where the first and second spaces are adjacent, the distance from the repeater in that space becomes too great, preventing the signal from being smoothly transmitted to the light-emitting device 300, or the signal may overlap with the repeater signal of the next space being entered, causing a signal collision at the light-emitting device 300, and consequently resulting in the device not emitting light correctly.
[0240] Therefore, the administrator according to this embodiment can install radio wave shielding devices 700 at the boundaries of each space, and the area where radio waves are blocked by the radio wave shielding devices can be referred to as the superimposed area OLZ.
[0241] In other words, when spectators enter the superimposed area OLZ, the control signal transmitted to the light-emitting device 300 is interrupted, and the light-emitting device 300 can operate by its own process.
[0242] Here, the self-contained process can mean the process of adjusting the third setting value (brightness value in this embodiment) set in the immediately preceding library that was being played down by a predetermined ratio to a lower value, and then continuing to play the immediately preceding library automatically.
[0243] Specifically, in this embodiment, if the light-emitting device 300 is in the process of reproducing the first library LB1 in response to a control signal in the first space 601, and a visitor enters the superimposed area OLZ and the radio waves are blocked by the radio wave blocker 700, the device can perform its own process of adjusting the brightness of the first library LB1, which was being reproduced, to a predetermined ratio darker and then reproducing it. That is, in the superimposed area OLZ, the first modified library LB1-M can be reproduced. For this purpose, in this embodiment, the light-emitting device 300 can store the light emission pattern setting value set in the immediately preceding library. Furthermore, if there are multiple control signals to be acquired, the device can emit light according to the stored light emission pattern setting value of the immediately preceding library.
[0244] Furthermore, in this embodiment, if the light-emitting device 300, while operating by adjusting the third setting value of the preceding library to a predetermined ratio lower through its own process, moves out of the radio wave superposition area OLZ and acquires a control signal from the second repeater 502 in the second space 602, it immediately terminates the executed process and can operate the second library LB2 with the acquired control signal.
[0245] In other embodiments, when the light-emitting device 300 is located in the superimposed area OLZ, it can emit light based on the control signal with the stronger signal strength among the multiple control signals acquired.
[0246] This reduces the possibility of errors occurring in lighting devices, such as sudden light outages, switching, and interruptions, when moving between spaces in attractions that utilize multiple spaces, thereby providing a smoother experience for visitors and increasing their satisfaction with the attraction.
[0247] On the other hand, in this embodiment, the control unit 240 can change the library sent out by the control signal based on a predetermined input.
[0248] In this case, the predetermined input for changing the library may include cases where 1) the repeater 200 is located in a predetermined specific area, 2) a predetermined specific time is detected, or 3) the input of a predetermined specific light-emitting device 300 is detected.
[0249] Taking case 3) as an example, if the control unit 240 senses an input from a pre-set first light-emitting device while sending a control signal to an unspecified number of light-emitting devices to light up using the first library, it can change the sent signal from the first library to the second library and send it. For this purpose, the control unit 240 can pre-store command data to switch to the second library when an input from the first light-emitting device is detected.
[0250] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the control unit 240 can sense a predetermined input that switches to event mode while sending a control signal based on the movement path data.
[0251] In this embodiment, if the control unit 240 detects an input to switch to the event mode, it may send a control signal to operate using an event library pre-configured for that mode.
[0252] As a result, a light-emitting device 300 located within a predetermined distance from the relay 200 can emit light using an event library that is not one of the libraries previously transmitted, but one that has been pre-configured to event mode.
[0253] In this embodiment, the light-emitting device 300 can be activated by a specific light-emitting effect when a predetermined input is made to the light-emitting device 300 while it is emitting light via an event library.
[0254] For example, there can be various embodiments, such as a device that emits light through a glowing effect when shaken, or a device that emits light through a laser effect when a predetermined button is pressed.
[0255] In addition, in this embodiment, the control unit 240 can record the time when an input for switching to the event mode is detected as history. Similarly, the time when the event mode switching is canceled can also be recorded.
[0256] As a result, in this embodiment, the control unit 240 can store event mode time points, including the event start time and the event end time.
[0257] The event mode time points stored in this manner can be reflected in the travel path data pre-stored in the repeater 200.
[0258] In this embodiment, the control unit 240 can convert the travel path data, which reflects the event mode time point, into history data and store it.
[0259] The history data stored in this way can be reused later. In other words, in this embodiment, the control unit 240 can control the repeater 200 to switch to event mode at a stored event mode point while operating using the travel path data included in the history data, and send out an event library.
[0260] This allows for easy generation of history data via repeater operation when a predetermined event is added to existing travel path data, requiring a change in the mode of a light-emitting device, etc., without the need to generate and store new travel path data. Since this history data can be reused, it dramatically reduces the time required for data generation and download, and allows for flexible handling even when events are suddenly added.
[0261] As described above, the automatic control signal transmission system based on a fixed relay device according to an embodiment of the present invention has the effect of eliminating spatial constraints in performances using light-emitting devices, reducing the time and procedural waste required for setting up and controlling light-emitting devices, and being utilized in activities that involve experiencing multiple spaces, thereby increasing the audience's satisfaction with the event experience.
[0262] Furthermore, the automatic control signal transmission system based on a fixed repeater according to an embodiment of the present invention eliminates the need for training on repeater control and eliminates the need to operate the repeater every time a performance is required, thus reducing human resources and increasing economic efficiency.
[0263] Furthermore, the automatic control signal transmission system based on a fixed relay device according to an embodiment of the present invention has the effect of easily providing new experiences to multiple people using the space without having to design complex performances, by supporting continuous / repeated / periodic event performance formats.
