DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0018] Hereinafter, a light emitting device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0019] <Embodiment> <Configuration> FIG. 1 is an external view showing the appearance of a light emitting device 100. As shown in FIG. 1, the light emitting device 100 is, for example, a rod-shaped light. do.

[0020] As shown in FIG. 1, the light emitting device 100 includes a light emitting section 120 and a grip section 140 connected via a connection section 130.

[0021] The light-emitting unit 120 has a function of emitting light. The light-emitting unit 120 may emit light itself, or alternatively, a light-emitting body may be provided at the connection portion 130, and light projected from the light-emitting body passes through the light-emitting unit 120 to emit light. The light-emitting unit 120 may be configured, for example, by providing a light-transmitting and light-diffusing decorative sheet inside a cylindrical transparent plastic body, which diffuses light from light-emitting bodies that emit light in various colors and are provided at the connection portion 130, and projects the light into the surrounding area. Examples of light-emitting bodies include light-emitting diodes and LEDs. Alternatively, the light-emitting unit 120 may be realized by providing an LED sheet inside a cylindrical transparent resin body with its light-emitting surface facing outward.

[0022] The connecting unit 130 is a connecting member that connects the light-emitting unit 120 and the gripping unit 140. The connecting unit 130 may be configured to connect the light-emitting unit 120 and the gripping unit by, for example, a screw structure or a locking member. Various conventional methods may be used to connect the light-emitting unit 120 and the gripping unit 140.

[0023] The gripping portion 140 is a member with which a user grips the light emitting device 100. The gripping portion 140 may take any form as long as it is configured to allow a user to grip the light emitting device 100. The gripping portion 140 may be molded integrally with the connecting portion 130.

[0024] The grip portion 140 includes a first button 111, a second button 112, and a third button 113. The first button 111, the second button 112, and the third button 113 are made of, for example, a resin such as plastic, and are configured to be depressible. Although not shown in FIG. 1, the first button 111, the second button 112, and the third button 113 each accept an operation related to emitting light from the light-emitting device 100 or controlling the light emission. Here, each button is described as a push-button, but this is not limited thereto, and each button may have a function of accepting input from a user. For example, each button may be realized by a touch sensor.

[0025] The gripping part 140 has an internal power supply (not shown) for operating the light emitting device 100. The gripping part 140 is configured so that the power supply can be removed, and the power supply can be inserted or removed by removing the power supply cover 150. The power supply cover 150 is configured so that it can be freely attached to the gripping part 140. The power supply cover 150 may be attached to the gripping part 140 in any manner, and may be attached to the gripping part 140 by screws, or may be engaged with a claw-shaped member, for example.

[0026] Fig. 2 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of light emitting device 100. As shown in Fig. 2, light emitting device 100 includes first button 111, second button 112, third button 113, light emitting unit 120, light emission control unit 121, setting unit 122, selection unit 123, and storage unit 124.

[0027] The first button 111 is a button that can be pressed by the user. The first button 111 is a button that can detect both a short press (a press that does not continue for a predetermined time or longer) and a long press (a press that continues for a predetermined time or longer).

[0028] The second button 112 is a button that can be pressed by the user. The second button 112 is a button that can detect both a short press (a press that does not continue for a predetermined period of time or more) and a long press (a press that continues for a predetermined period of time or more).

[0029] The third button 113 is a button that can be pressed by the user. The third button 113 is a button that can detect both a short press (a press that does not continue for a predetermined period of time or more) and a long press (a press that continues for a predetermined period of time or more).

[0030] The light emitting unit 120 emits light in a color designated from among a plurality of colors. The light emitting unit 120 is realized by, for example, a light emitting diode or an LED. The light emitting unit 120 emits light in accordance with instructions from a light emission control unit 121.

[0031] The light-emission control unit 121 has a function of controlling the light emission of the light-emitting unit 120. The light-emission control unit 121 has a function of performing light-emission processing of the light-emitting unit 120 in accordance with the details of pressing, such as a short press or long press of the first button 111, a short press or long press of the second button 112, or a short press or long press of the third button 113, in various situations such as when the light-emitting unit 120 is emitting light, when it is not emitting light, when a light-emission pattern is being set, or when a light-emission pattern is being selected. When the light-emitting unit 120 is being made to emit light, the light-emission control unit 121 detects pressing of the second button 112, regardless of the selected light-emission pattern, and causes the light-emitting unit 120 to emit light in a recommended color set in the memory unit 124 by the setting unit 122. Details of the light-emission processing by the light-emission control unit 121 will be described later with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 4 to 6.

[0032] Setting unit 122 has a function of setting a light emission pattern. When detecting a long press of first button 111 or both first button 111 and third button 113, setting unit 122 executes a light emission pattern setting process. Details of the light emission pattern setting process by setting unit 122 will be described later with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

[0033] Furthermore, the setting unit 122 has a function of setting a recommended color for emitting light in a color desired by the user regardless of the order of the light emission patterns while the light emitting unit 120 is emitting light. If the setting unit 122 detects that the second button 112 has been pressed and held by the user while the light emitting unit 120 is emitting light, the setting unit 122 stores the luminous color emitted by the light emitting unit 120 at that time in the storage unit 124 as a recommended color.

[0034] The selection unit 123 has a function of selecting an illumination pattern to be used from the illumination patterns stored in the storage unit 124. The selection unit 123 executes an illumination pattern selection process when it detects a long press of the first button 111 or both the first button 111 and the third button 113. Details of the illumination pattern selection process performed by the selection unit 123 will be described later with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

[0035] Each of the light emission control unit 121, the setting unit 122, and the selection unit 123 is realized by a processor, and the above-mentioned light emission control, setting process, and selection process are realized by the processor executing a program stored in the storage unit 124. Note that the light emission control unit 121, the setting unit 122, and the selection unit 123 may be realized by one processor or by multiple processors.

[0036] The storage unit 124 is a storage medium having a function of storing various programs and data required for the operation of the light-emitting device 100. The storage unit 124 is realized by, for example, an HDD, an SSD, a flash memory, a RAM, a ROM, etc. The storage unit 124 stores programs such as a light-emission control program for light-emission control, a setting program for setting a light-emission pattern, and a selection program for selecting a light-emission pattern, as well as light-emission pattern information 300 indicating the set light-emission pattern, and a light-emission color set as a recommended color. The above is the configuration of the light emitting device 100.

[0037] <Data> FIG. 3 is a conceptual data diagram showing an example of the data structure of light emission pattern information 300 stored in the storage unit 124 of the light emitting device 100. As shown in FIG.

[0038] 3, the light emission pattern information 300 is information in which a pattern name 301 is associated with a light emission order 302. The light emission pattern information 300 is information that defines the light emission color emitted by the light emitting unit 120 of the light emitting device 100.

[0039] Pattern name 301 is identification information that enables light emitting device 100 to uniquely identify a light emitting pattern. Here, pattern name 301 is shown as a name for ease of understanding, but pattern name 301 may be expressed as a number, a symbol, or the like as long as it can be distinguished from other light emitting patterns.

[0040] The light-emitting sequence 302 is information indicating the order of the light-emitting colors that the light-emitting unit 120 will emit. The light-emitting sequence 302 indicates a number indicating the order of light-emitting and a color associated with that number. For example, in the case of a default pattern, which is one of the light-emitting patterns, the light-emitting device 100 emits light in the forward order of "red, navy blue, white, orange, green, purple, peach, ...." When emitting light in the forward order, the light-emitting device 100 emits light in the above order in the case of the default pattern. When emitting light in the reverse order, the light-emitting device 100 emits light in the order of "red, peach, purple, green, orange, white, navy blue, red, ...," assuming that the default pattern does not include colors after peach. In addition, colors may not be assigned to numbers in the light-emitting sequence, and in such cases, this is indicated by "-" in the example of FIG. 3. In this light-emitting sequence, the first color, color 1, and the last color in the light-emitting sequence are looped. That is, as shown in FIG. 8, in the case of memory pattern 1, which is one of the light emission patterns, each time the first button 111 is pressed briefly while the light emitting unit 120 is emitting light, the light emission color changes in the following order: white, green, blue, white, green, blue, white, ...

[0041] The identification color 303 is information indicating the light emission color uniquely associated with each light emission pattern so that the user can recognize which light emission pattern they are currently selecting when selecting a light emission pattern. That is, when selecting a light emission pattern, for example, if red light is emitted, it indicates that memory turn 1 is selected.

[0042] <Operation> Next, we will explain the operation of the light emitting device 100. Figure 4 is a main flowchart showing an example of the operation of the light emitting device 100. The flowchart shown in Figure 4 shows processing that starts from a state in which the light emitting device 100 is not emitting light.

[0043] Light emitting device 100 determines whether there is an input to at least one of first button 111, second button 112, and third button 113, depending on whether any of the buttons has been pressed by the user (step S401). If there is an input (YES in step S401), the process proceeds to step S402, and if there is no input (NO in step S401), the process waits until there is an input.

[0044] If the input is a long press of the first button 111 (YES in step S402), the light emission control unit 121 starts the light emission control process shown in step S403. Details of the light emission control process will be described later. When the light emission control unit 121 ends the light emission control process, the process returns to step S401.

[0045] If the input is not a long press of the first button 111 (NO in step S402) but a long press of both the first button 111 and the third button 113 (YES in step S404), the setting unit 122 or the selection unit 123 starts the setting / selection process of the light emission pattern shown in step S406. The details of the setting / selection process of the light emission pattern will be described later. When the setting / selection process of the light emission pattern is completed, the process returns to step S401.

[0046] Even if the input is not a long press of both the first button 111 and the third button 113 (NO in step S404), if it is a long press of the third button 113 (YES in step S405), the setting unit 122 or the selection unit 123 starts the setting / selection process of the light emission pattern.

[0047] In other cases (NO in step S405), the input is not for performing any operation, so the process returns to step S401.

[0048] This concludes the description of the main flowchart of the operation of the light emitting device 100.

[0049] Now, the light emission control process included in the main flowchart will be described.

[0050] FIG. 5 is a sub-flowchart showing details of the light emission control process shown in step S403 in the main flow chart of FIG.

[0051] 5, in response to a long press of first button 111 of light-emitting device 100, light-emitting control unit 121 identifies the selected light-emitting pattern from information related to the selected light-emitting pattern stored in storage unit 124. Then, light-emitting control unit 121 causes light-emitting unit 120 to emit light in the leading color (the first light-emitting color in the light-emitting order) of the identified light-emitting pattern (step S501).

[0052] The setting unit 122 determines whether the second button 112 has been pressed and held down based on whether the second button 112 has been pressed and held down for a predetermined time (e.g., 3 seconds) or longer (step S502). If the second button 112 has been pressed and held down (YES in step S502), the setting unit 122 sets the light color emitted by the light-emitting unit 120 at that time as a recommended color in the storage unit 124 (step S503), and returns to step S502.

[0053] If the second button 112 has not been pressed for a long time (NO in step S502), the light emission control unit 121 determines whether the first button 111 has been pressed for a short time based on whether the first button 111 has been pressed for less than a predetermined time (step S504). If the first button 111 has been pressed for a short time (YES in step S504), the light emission control unit 121 switches the luminous color of the light emitting unit 120 to the next luminous color indicated in the luminous order of the selected luminous pattern (step S505), and returns to step S502.

[0054] If the first button 111 has not been short-pressed (NO in step S504), the light emission control unit 121 determines whether the third button 113 has been short-pressed (step S506). If the third button 113 has been short-pressed (YES in step S506), the light emission control unit 121 switches the luminous color of the light emitting unit 120 to the next luminous color in the reverse luminous order of the selected luminous pattern (the previous color in the forward luminous order) (step S507), and returns to step S502.

[0055] If the third button 113 has not been pressed briefly (NO in step S506), the light emission control unit 121 determines whether the second button 112 has been pressed briefly (step S508). If the second button 112 has been pressed briefly (YES in step S508), the light emission unit 120 is caused to emit light in the emission color set as the recommended color in the storage unit 124, and the process returns to step S502.

[0056] If the second button 112 has not been pressed briefly (NO in step S508), the light emission control unit 121 determines whether the first button 111 has been pressed and held (step S510). If the first button 111 has not been pressed and held (NO in step S510), the process returns to step S502, and if the first button 111 has been pressed and held (YES in step S510), the light emission control unit 121 stops the light emission by the light emission unit 120 (step S511) and ends the light emission control process.

[0057] The above is the process related to the light emission control of the light emitting device 100.

[0058] Finally, the operation of the setting and selection process of the light emission pattern will be described below. Fig. 6 is a sub-flowchart showing details of the light emission pattern setting / selection process in step S406 in the main flow chart of Fig. 4.

[0059] When the process of setting / selecting the light emission pattern starts, the light emission control unit 121 causes the light emission unit 120 to flash in the light emission color associated with the pressed button (long press of the third button 113 (see Figure 4, step S404), or long press of both the first button 111 and the third button 113 (see Figure 4, step S405)) (step S601).

[0060] The selection unit 123 determines whether or not the second button 112 has been pressed briefly (step S602).

[0061] If the second button 112 is pressed briefly (YES in step S602), the selection unit 123 changes the selected illumination pattern to another illumination pattern. In response to the change, the illumination control unit 121 causes the illumination unit 120 to emit light in an illumination color corresponding to the changed illumination pattern.

[0062] The selection unit 123 determines whether either the first button 111 or the third button 113 has been pressed and held (step S604).

[0063] If either the first button 111 or the third button 113 is pressed and held (YES in step S604), the light emitting pattern corresponding to the light emitting color emitted by the light emitting unit 120 at that time is registered in the memory unit 124 as the selected light emitting pattern (light emitting pattern to be used) (step S605), and the processing ends.

[0064] If neither the first button 111 nor the third button 113 has been pressed and held (NO in step S604), the setting unit 122 determines whether both the first button 111 and the third button 113 have been pressed and held (step S606). If neither the first button 111 nor the third button 113 have been pressed and held (NO in step S606), the process returns to step S602. If both the first button 111 and the third button 113 have been pressed and held (YES in step S606), the process deletes information on the light emission order of the light emission pattern corresponding to the light emission color emitted by the light-emitting unit 120 at that time from the light emission pattern information 300 in the storage unit 124 (step S607), and ends the process.

[0065] In step S602, if the second button has not been pressed briefly (NO in step S602), setting of the light emission pattern is started based on input of either a short press of the first button, a short press of the third button, or a long press of the third button.

[0066] First, the light emission control unit 121 determines whether or not the third button 113 has been short-pressed (step S608). If the third button 113 has been short-pressed (YES in step S608), the light emission control unit 121 switches the light emission color emitted by the light-emitting unit 120 in accordance with the light emission order indicated by the default pattern of the light emission pattern information 300 (step S609), and returns to step S608.

[0067] If the third button 113 has not been short-pressed (step S608), the setting unit 122 determines whether the first button 111 has been short-pressed (step S610). If the first button 111 has been short-pressed (YES in step S610), the setting unit 122 stores the luminous color emitted by the light-emitting unit 120 in the storage unit 124 as the next luminous color in the luminous pattern (step S611), and returns to step S608.

[0068] If the first button 111 has not been pressed briefly (NO in step S610), the setting unit 122 determines whether the third button 113 has been pressed for a long time (step S612).

[0069] If the third button 113 is pressed and held (step S612), a new light emitting pattern is registered in the light emitting pattern information 300 (step S613), in which the light emitting colors registered in step S611 are lit in the same order as the registered order, and the process ends. If the third button 113 is not pressed and held (NO in step S612), the process returns to step S608.

[0070] <Summary> According to the light-emitting device 100, when the light-emitting unit 120 is emitting light in a desired color, the user can register the desired color as a recommended color simply by pressing and holding the second button 112. Thereafter, the user can cause the light-emitting unit 120 to emit light in the recommended color at any time desired by the user, regardless of the light-emitting sequence of the light-emitting pattern being used, simply by pressing and holding the second button 112. Furthermore, the light-emitting device 100 can achieve many functions with a small number of inputs (buttons), such as setting a light-emitting pattern that emits light in a sequence desired by the user, switching the light-emitting color in that light-emitting pattern, and registering multiple light-emitting patterns and freely selecting one to use.

[0071] <Supplementary information> The device according to the above embodiment is not limited to the above embodiment, and may be realized by other methods. Various modifications will be described below.

[0072] (1) Although not specifically shown in the above embodiment, light-emitting control unit 121 of light-emitting device 100 may cause light-emitting unit 120 to emit light in various modes, such as constant light emission, gradation light emission, blinking light emission, etc. In this case, light-emitting device 100 may be configured to change its light-emitting mode by pressing a combination of three buttons, for example.

[0073] (2) Although not specifically shown in the above embodiment, if the first button 111 or the third button 113 is pressed while emitting light in the recommended color, the light emission control unit 121 may be configured to return to emitting light of the color before the recommended color.

[0074] (3) In the above embodiment, two types of inputs, a short press and a long press, are presented for each button (first button 111, second button 112, third button 113). However, this is not limited to this. For example, two presses within a predetermined time may be detected, and the two presses may be used as a trigger to trigger one of the above-mentioned processes. Furthermore, the short press and long press shown in the above embodiment may be interchanged to achieve the same operation. That is, the above-mentioned first predetermined input may be a short press and the second predetermined input a long press, or the first predetermined input may be a long press and the second predetermined input a short press.

[0075] (4) In the above embodiment, an example in which only one color is set as the recommended color has been described, but this is not limited to this. Any number of colors may be set as the recommended color.

[0076] To achieve this configuration, the light emitting device 100 may be configured to include second and third second buttons 112. The second recommended color is set by pressing and holding the second second button 112, and the third recommended color is set by pressing and holding the third second button 112. The light emitting unit 120 may be configured to emit the associated recommended color in response to a short press of each of the pressed second buttons 112.

[0077] Alternatively, the second recommended color may be set by simultaneously pressing and holding the second button 112 and the first button 111, and the third recommended color may be set by simultaneously pressing and holding the second button 112 and the third button 113. Then, the light-emitting unit 120 may be configured to emit light in the second recommended color by simultaneously pressing and holding the first button 111 and the second button 112, and the light-emitting unit 120 may be configured to emit light in the third recommended color by simultaneously pressing and holding the second button 112 and the third button 113.

[0078] (5) In the above embodiment, the recommended color for the light-emitting device is set by the device's processor executing a light-emitting control program or the like. However, this may be achieved by a logic circuit (hardware) or dedicated circuit formed in an integrated circuit (IC (Integrated Circuit) chip, LSI (Large Scale Integration)) or the like. Furthermore, these circuits may be realized by one or more integrated circuits, and the functions of the multiple functional units described in the above embodiment may be realized by a single integrated circuit. LSIs are sometimes referred to as VLSIs, super LSIs, ultra LSIs, etc., depending on the level of integration.

[0079] The light-emitting control program may be recorded on a processor-readable recording medium, which may be a "non-transitory tangible medium" such as a tape, disk, card, semiconductor memory, or programmable logic circuit. The light-emitting control program may be supplied to the processor via any transmission medium capable of transmitting the light-emitting control program (such as a communication network or broadcast waves). The present invention may also be realized in the form of a data signal embedded in a carrier wave, in which the light-emitting control program is embodied by electronic transmission.

[0080] The light emission control program can be implemented using, for example, a script language such as Action Script or JavaScript (registered trademark), an object-oriented programming language such as Objective-C or Java (registered trademark), or a markup language such as HTML5.

[0081] (6) The configurations shown in the above embodiments and the configurations shown in the supplementary notes may be realized by appropriately combining them. [Explanation of symbols]
