[0001] The present invention relates to an automatic control signal transmission system based on a fixed repeater, and more particularly to an automatic control signal transmission system based on a fixed repeater that automatically transmits a signal that controls a light-emitting device to emit light in a predetermined pattern, thereby allowing the light-emitting device to automatically reproduce the transmitted predetermined pattern. [Background technology]
[0002] Light-emitting devices are designed to display various colors in dark spaces and produce spectacular effects, and are used not only as cheering tools in concerts and showcases, but also in nighttime activities and various events such as sporting events, festivals, and parades.
[0003] In recent years, light-emitting devices have gone beyond being simple cheering tools; multiple devices can be combined to form specific letters and shapes, and administrators can control the light-emitting devices that people have, making it possible to create a variety of effects at events.
[0004] However, such lighting devices are currently only used as part of the performance at concert venues, and are difficult to use in situations where the location changes or where a smaller number of people than those attending a concert gather, due to transmission distance restrictions, location restrictions, and the absence of a supervisor.
[0005] Furthermore, even in situations where control is not required, such as in the production of complex performances, operators are required to perform the production, which results in the waste of human resources.
[0006] Therefore, there is a growing debate about how to expand the scope of applications for performances using light-emitting devices. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0117] Specifically, the control signal transmitting unit 210 can transmit a control signal to nearby light emitting devices using a preset broadcasting protocol, and light emitting devices located nearby and set to receive broadcast signals using the preset broadcasting protocol can receive the transmitted control signal and operate according to the received control signal.
[0118] In this case, the preset broadcasting protocol may refer to a frequency band, a control signal encoding / decoding method, etc. The control signal transmitting unit 210 may include a broadcasting transmitter. The broadcasting transmitter may include an exciter including an oscillator and a modulator, and may modulate the control signal received from the terminal 100 into radio waves of a frequency band determined by the preset broadcasting protocol and transmit the RF signal through an antenna.
[0119] By using a broadcasting method, the control signal transmitting unit 210 can overcome the disadvantages of Bluetooth (BLE) technology, such as low transmission speed, short transmission distance, small data capacity transmission, and excessive power consumption, and has the effect of easily controlling multiple light emitting devices, saving the time required for the user to pair the light emitting device control signal repeater 200 with each light emitting device separately, and increasing the speed of data transmission.
[0120] In addition, in an embodiment, the control signal transmitter 210 may continuously transmit a control signal (eg, infinite roofing) that activates a predetermined library when a specific event and / or trigger is acquired.
[0121] In addition, in an embodiment, the control signal transmitter 210 may 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 sensing a person's approach based on a predetermined sensor, sensing input from a lighting device, a preset performance cycle, etc.
[0123] Meanwhile, the control signal receiving unit 220 can receive control signals from other terminals including the terminal 100 and / or a server.
[0124] This 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 since its contents are the same, the above description will be applied mutatis mutandis and omitted.
[0125] The input system 230 can sense user input (eg, gestures, voice commands, button activations, or other types of input) associated with the theme rendering service.
[0126] To this end, the input system 230 may include predetermined buttons, controllers, touch sensors, and / or image sensors that receive user motion input.
[0127] The input system 230 can also be connected to an external controller via an interface unit to receive user input.
[0128] The input system 230 can also receive user input (eg, touch input, mouse input, keyboard input, gesture input, motion input using a guide tool, etc.).
[0129] Illustratively, the repeater 200 can have an input system 230 that can be wired and / or wirelessly coupled to at least one device, such as a numeric keypad, an IR remote control, etc., using various communication protocols to obtain user input.
[0130] In this case, the repeater 200 may include an interface unit (for example, a USB connection port) to receive user input via a wired connection.
[0131] That is, the types of inputs to 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 performed based on a series of wired and wireless input devices (eg, keyboard, numeric keypad, mouse, remote control, etc.) connected to the USB connection port of the repeater 200.
[0133] In this case, in the case of wired input, control is possible over a long distance depending on the length of the cable, and 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 transmitting and receiving at least one control signal to perform various operations for generating a themed service environment.
[0135] In an embodiment, the control unit 240 may control the overall operation of the components of the repeater 200 to provide a theme rendering service. In implementing the control unit 240, the above description of the processor assembly 120 of the terminal 100 applies mutatis mutandis.
[0136] Lighting Device 300 In an embodiment of the present invention, the lighting device 300 may be a predetermined device that lights up in response to a control signal including setting values such as brightness, saturation, and effect received from the terminal 100 and / or the repeater 200 based on a theme rendering service.
[0137] FIG. 4 is an internal block diagram of a light emitting device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0142] The information receiving unit 320 may include a broadcast receiver that receives information transmitted by the repeater 200 and other devices in a broadcasting manner. Specifically, the broadcast receiver may receive radio waves transmitted from the repeater 200 through an antenna, and may obtain a control signal by selecting a control signal from the received radio waves.
[0143] In the above-described embodiment, the information receiving unit 320 can receive the light emitting pattern control signal included in the control signal emitted from the repeater 200 in a broadcasting manner.
[0144] The light emitting unit 330 can emit light in response to a control signal received from the information receiving unit 320 .
[0145] The light emitting unit 330 may include one or more light source elements, and the light source may be, for example, a light emitting diode (LED). The light emitting unit 330 may include LEDs of different colors, for example, at least one of a red LED, a green LED, a blue LED, and a white LED.
[0146] By mixing the light emitted by each of these LEDs, a wide range of hues can be produced, and the mixed color is determined based on the ratio of the light intensity emitted by each LED, which can be proportional to the drive current of each LED.
[0147] The LEDs included in the light emitting unit 330 may be arranged in a dot pattern, and the LEDs may be selectively lit under the control of the processor 390, which will be described later, to display specific text, images, or pictures.
[0148] Although the above description has been given using an LED as an example of the light source of the light emitting unit 330, the type of light source is not limited to an LED. According to another embodiment, an organic light emitting diode (OLED) may be used as the light source.
[0149] The storage unit 340 may store at least one of various application programs, applications, data, and commands for providing a theme rendering service environment.
[0150] The storage unit 340 may also store data received from or generated by other components of the automatic delivery system, etc. The storage unit 340 may be various storage devices such as, for example, a ROM, an EPROM, a flash drive, a hard drive, and / or a USB drive, and may include a memory, a cache, a buffer, etc.
[0151] In the embodiment, the storage unit 340 may store in advance information required for the light emitting device 300 to perform the light emitting function.
[0152] In an embodiment, the storage unit 340 may store at least one library and / or scenario that defines the light-emitting mode in which the light-emitting device 300 operates, as will be described in detail below.
[0153] In addition, in an embodiment, the storage unit 340 may store information required to perform a theme rendering service.
[0154] The battery 350 can be supplied with external and / or internal power under the control of the processor 390 to supply power necessary for operation to each component of the light emitting device 300 .
[0155] The battery 350 may further include a DC / DC converter that can convert the given power into a voltage level that can be used by the mounting body of the light emitting device 300, etc.
[0156] The battery 350 includes at least one battery cell. The type of each battery cell is not particularly limited as long as it can be repeatedly charged and discharged, 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 to supply the power necessary for the operation of the lighting device 300 .
[0158] The sensor unit 370 may include at least one sensor selected from the group consisting of a position sensor (IMU), an acceleration sensor, a gyro sensor, a distance sensor, a proximity sensor, a contact sensor, and an illuminance sensor.
[0159] Specifically, the position sensor (IMU) included in the sensor unit 370 can sense at least one of the movement and acceleration of the light emitting device 300. For example, the position sensor (IMU) may be a combination of various position sensors such as an accelerometer, a gyroscope, and a magnetometer.
[0160] The input unit 380 can sense user input (eg, gestures, button activations, or other types of input) related to the theme rendering service.
[0161] Specifically, the input unit 380 may include a predetermined button and / or a touch sensor.
[0162] The input unit 380 may be connected to an external controller to receive user input.
[0163] The processor 390 controls the overall operation of the lighting device 300, such as power supply control, and the signal flow between internal components of the lighting device 300, and may perform a data processing function for processing data. Such a processor 390 may include at least one processor.
[0164] Furthermore, the processor 390 can communicate with each component internally via a system bus, which can include one or more predetermined bus structures such as a local bus.
[0165] Additionally, processor 390 may be implemented with at least one of application specific integrated circuits (ASICs), digital signal processors (DSPs), digital signal processing devices (DSPDs), programmable logic devices (PLDs), field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), controllers, microcontrollers, microprocessors, and other electrical units for performing functions.
[0166] In the embodiment, the processor 390 can control the light emission pattern of the light output from the light emitting unit 330 by controlling the drive current of each LED of the light emitting unit 330 .
[0167] Through this, in the embodiment, the processor 390 can control the light emitting device 300 including a plurality of LEDs to generate predetermined words, images, pictures, and the like.
[0168] The light emitting device 300 including the above-described configuration can be operated according to at least one piece of data stored in the storage unit 340 under the control of the processor 390 .
[0169] As a result, the automatic sending system provides the light emitting devices 300 to the visitors, and if the visitors use a predetermined experience-type space while holding the provided light emitting devices 300, a themed performance service can be provided in which an event-like performance in which the light emitting pattern changes according to the change in the space is performed.
[0170] In addition, in the embodiment, the light emitting device 300 may emit light in response to a control signal received from the repeater 200 based on the light emitting unit 330 .
[0171] In this case, the control signal may include instruction data for activating the lighting device 300 to emit light in accordance with a library and / or scenario pre-stored in the lighting device 300 .
[0172] In addition, in the 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] In addition, in the embodiment, the light-emitting device 300 can recognize surrounding sounds based on the sensor unit 370 and control the light emission to match the recognized sound. For example, the louder the recognized sound, the brighter the light emission can be.
[0174] In addition, in the embodiment, the light emitting device 300 may transmit data sensed by the sensor unit 370 and / or the input unit to another device (for example, the terminal 100 and / or the repeater 200).
[0175] In some embodiments, the light emitting device 300 may operate passively in response to an externally transmitted command signal (control signal). In other embodiments, the light emitting device 300 may operate autonomously based on an input unit 380 (e.g., a predetermined button).
[0176] The concept of the operation can be various and is not limited to any one concept, and various types of operation are possible depending on the type of lighting device 300 (e.g., a lighting stick and / or a wearable device), such as a light-emitting operation, a sound-generating operation, or a mechanical operation.
[0177] -Method for automatically transmitting control signals based on fixed repeaters Hereinafter, a method for automatically transmitting a control signal based on a fixed repeater in order to provide a theme performance service by a control unit 240 executed by at least one processor of a repeater 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying Figures 5 to 8.
[0178] Meanwhile, in order for the repeater 200 to perform the method of automatically transmitting a control signal based on a 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 at least one automatic transmission program 111 stored in at least one memory 110 or operate in background mode.
[0179] Hereinafter, it will be briefly described that the automatic transmission program 111 operates to cause at least one processor of the terminal 100 to execute the command words of the memory 110 and to support the repeater 200 to perform the method of automatically transmitting a control signal based on the fixed repeater.
[0180] In addition, at least one processor of the repeater 200 operates to execute the command of the control unit 240, and the method of automatically sending a control signal based on the fixed repeater described above is briefly described as being performed by the control unit 240.
[0181] FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating a method for automatically transmitting a control signal based on a fixed repeater according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0182] As shown in Figure 5, in this embodiment, the automatic sending program 111 can generate and store a library based on the library setting interface (S101).
[0183] Here, the library setting interface according to the embodiment may be an interface that provides a library that defines the light-emitting modes in which the light-emitting device 300 operates and / or a production environment for creating a scenario that combines a plurality of the libraries. The scenarios are later set according to the theme of each space, and therefore may also be called "theme production plans."
[0184] Specifically, in the embodiment, the automatic transmission program 111 can generate a library, which is data that pre-sets a lighting pattern that causes the lighting device 300 to emit light for a predetermined time, based on the library setting interface.
[0185] Here, the lighting pattern refers to the lighting form in which the lighting device 300 operates, depending on components including lighting mode (e.g., On mode, Off mode, and sound recognition mode), lighting hue, lighting time, lighting brightness, and lighting effect.
[0186] In this case, the lighting effect may refer to a lighting form in which the components are set to change within a predetermined time period to generate a dynamic visual effect.
[0187] FIG. 6 is an example of a diagram for explaining a library and a scenario according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0188] As shown in FIG. 6, in an embodiment, a scenario SCE may include at least one or more libraries LB1, LB2, and LB3.
[0189] The scenario SCE can mean a set of a plurality of libraries LB, each having a preset light emission pattern, combined in a predetermined order.
[0190] Specifically, the scenario SCE may refer to library collection data that is set with an order and a maintenance time for a plurality of libraries LB and is played while the library LB is located within a signal radius where a control signal is received. Such a scenario may include a predetermined identification number.
[0191] Furthermore, one library can include a library name 400 and first to fourth setting values 411, 412, 413, 414 which are the component setting values of each light emission pattern (hereinafter referred to as light emission pattern setting values).
[0192] The library name 400 may include at least one of a predetermined identification number and / or text.
[0193] The first setting value 411 can be data for the light emitting hue, the second setting value 412 can be data for the light emitting time, the third setting value 413 can be data for the light emitting brightness, and the fourth setting value 414 can be data for the light emitting effect.
[0194] Here, a lighting pattern maintained for a predetermined time according to the second setting value 412, which is data for the lighting time, can be referred to as a "part 410." That is, one library can include at least one or more parts. Typically, a predetermined part can be repeatedly played within the library.
[0195] The light emitting pattern setting value may be data that expresses, as values or text, all the hues, times, brightnesses, and effects that the light emitting device can achieve.
[0196] For example, the first setting value 411 can be set to a hexadecimal code (RGB565 notation) representing an RGB hue, the second setting value 412 can be set to a value representing a duration in seconds, the third setting value 413 can be set to a brightness value between 0 and 100, with higher values being brighter, and the fourth setting value 414 can be set to text representing a predetermined effect.
[0197] Specifically, the first setting value 411 allows the light emitting device to emit light in 65,535 or more hues.
[0198] For example, the first setting value 411 representing the luminous hue can be expressed as values of (0,0,0), (0,0,1), (0,0,2)...(n,n,n) in the RGB565 notation. Also, the third setting value 413 representing the luminous brightness can be expressed as values of 0,1,2...n, which increase as the brightness increases.
[0199] In addition, the fourth setting value 41 may include 1) a blink effect in which the light-emitting device is set to emit light differently depending on the time period within a predetermined time, causing the light-emitting device to blink quickly; 2) a gradation effect in which the hue is set to emit light differently depending on the time period within a predetermined time, causing the emitted hue to gradually change; and 3) a fade in / out effect in which the brightness is set to emit light differently depending on the time period, causing the brightness to gradually decrease or increase.
[0200] 6, for example, the first library LB1 may include an identification number of "00" and a library name 400 displaying the text "Stand." The first part 410 may include first through fourth setting values 411, 412, 413, 414, which are defined as "Fade in & out in white for 3 seconds and no light for 2 seconds." The first part 410 may be repeatedly played within the first library LB1.
[0201] That is, in the embodiment, the automatic sending program 111 can generate and store libraries by determining at least one or more lighting pattern setting values included in each library based on the library setting interface.
[0202] In addition, in the embodiment, the automatic sending program 111 can combine at least one library created based on the library setting interface to create and store a scenario.
[0203] In the embodiment, the automatic sending program 111 stores a library and / or a scenario generated directly based on the automatic sending program 111, or can acquire and store a library and / or a scenario generated by an external terminal and / or server. The object transmitted to the repeater and the light-emitting device may be a library and / or a scenario, but will be referred to as a library hereinafter for convenience of explanation.
[0204] A scenario including at least one library LB1, LB2, and LB3 stored in this manner may correspond to, for example, a space (e.g., a theme park attraction space) consisting of a plurality of divided spaces (hereinafter, referred to as sections). Each of the plurality of sections included in the space may correspond to a library. That is, while a visitor is located in the section and enjoying the attraction, the lighting device 300 may change and operate its lighting pattern according to the lighting pattern setting value of the library included in the scenario.
[0205] For example, if a scenario SCE including first to third libraries LB1, LB2, and LB3 is set in a first theme space including first to third spaces, the first library LB1 can be played in the first space, the second library LB2 can be played in the second space, and the third library LB3 can be played in the third space.
[0206] A control signal according to an embodiment may then include instruction data for activating (eg, executing, repeating, pausing, terminating) the lighting device 300 according to such a library.
[0207] For this purpose, the lighting device 300 has a library and / or a scenario pre-stored therein, and the lighting device 300 according to the embodiment can execute, pause, or terminate the pre-stored library and / or scenario in response to the acquired control signal.
[0208] In addition, in the embodiment, the automatic sending program 111 can transmit the generated library to the repeater 200 and the light-emitting device 300 (S103).
[0209] To this end, in embodiments, the auto-submit program 111 may store the generated library on an SD card and / or a portable drive.
[0210] Thus, in an embodiment, an administrator can connect the SD card and / or portable drive to the repeater 200 and transmit and store the library in the repeater 200. In addition, the administrator can link the terminal 100 and the lighting device 300 to transmit and store the library in multiple lighting devices 300.
[0211] At this time, the scenario identification number and at least one library name included in the scenario may be displayed on the LCD window of the repeater according to the embodiment.
[0212] In addition, in the embodiment, the control unit 240 may generate setting information based on the transmitted library (S105).
[0213] In an embodiment, the setting information may include a signal radius, a radio wave direction, and at least one of a library and a playback mode included in the control signal.
[0214] The signal radius may refer to the range of a control signal. The radio wave direction may refer to the radio wave direction of a directional antenna, which has the property that the strength of electromagnetic waves varies depending on the direction. The play mode sets the play method of the library to be played, and may be at least one of play once, play continuously, and play repeatedly.
[0215] That is, in an embodiment, the control unit 240 may generate setting information that sets the first library, signal radius, radio wave direction, and / or playback mode to be played on the repeater 200 from among the transmitted libraries.
[0216] For example, the signal radius can be set in meters (m), such as 25 m, and the radio wave direction can be set to the same direction as the movement of visitors.
[0217] According to the embodiment, the administrator can check the information displayed on the LCD window of the repeater 200 and input the generated setting information by operating the repeater 200 using the input system 230. For example, the administrator can input information using the controller, buttons, etc. of the repeater 200 to determine the scenario, playback mode, etc.
[0218] Once the setting information input for each repeater is completed, the administrator according to the embodiment can place each repeater in a space that matches the repeater.
[0219] FIG. 7 is an example of a diagram illustrating a space in which a repeater according to an embodiment of the present invention is installed.
[0220] As shown in FIG. 7, first to fourth spaces 601, 602, 603, and 604 according to the embodiment may be respectively provided with first to fourth repeaters 501, 502, 503, and 504 in a matching manner.
[0221] In this case, the signal radius of the first repeater 501 may be a radius corresponding to the first space 601. That is, while the visitors are in the first space 601, the light-emitting devices 300 carried by each visitor can be operated in response to the control signal of the first repeater 501.
[0222] At this time, if the first to fourth spaces 601, 602, 603, and 604 are adjacent to each other, signals may overlap at the boundaries of the spaces, and overlapping areas OLZ1, OLZ2, and OLZ3 can be set at each boundary.
[0223] In these overlapping areas OLZ1, OLZ2, and OLZ3, radio wave blocking devices may be installed to minimize control signal interference.
[0224] Meanwhile, in the embodiment, when a visitor enters the overlapping zones OLZ1, OLZ2, and OLZ3 and the control signal provided by the radio wave blocker is blocked, the light emitting device 300 may be activated by its own process, which will be described in detail later.
[0225] In addition, in the embodiment, the control unit 240 can automatically send a control signal including a library based on the setting information (S107).
[0226] Specifically, in an embodiment, the control unit 240 may automatically transmit a control signal including a library to at least one light emitting device 300 located within a signal radius according to the signal radius included in the setting information. In this case, in an embodiment, the control unit 240 may transmit the control signal in a broadcasting manner.
[0227] In this embodiment, once the installation of repeaters for each space is completed, the administrator can start automatic transmission of control signals by performing a predetermined input using the input system 230 of each repeater 200.
[0228] In this case, a limited number of personnel enter each space by means of transportation or at a predetermined time interval, so it is virtually impossible for multiple light-emitting devices 300 to simultaneously enter and operate within the signal radius.
[0229] Therefore, in the embodiment, the control unit 240 may group at least one or more lighting devices 300 detected within a predetermined time period. For example, the control unit 240 may group a plurality of lighting devices 300 included within a signal radius of the first space within five seconds.
[0230] In addition, in the embodiment, the control unit 240 can simultaneously send control signals to a plurality of grouped light emitting devices 300 .
[0231] That is, in the embodiment, the control unit 240 may transmit the control signal to the light emitting devices 300 located within a predetermined radius (S109).
[0232] This allows the lighting device 300, which is set to receive a control signal of a preset broadcasting protocol, to receive the transmitted control signal.
[0233] In addition, in the embodiment, the light emitting device 300 may emit light in response to the transmitted control signal (S111).
[0234] Specifically, in the embodiment, the lighting device 300 may emit light by operating a library in response to a control signal including a control instruction for activating a pre-stored library.
[0235] Here, if the light emitting devices 300 are grouped, the grouped light emitting devices 300 can emit light simultaneously in response to control signals transmitted simultaneously.
[0236] Meanwhile, in the embodiment, when the light emitting device 300 enters the overlapping area, it can emit light by its own process based on the library that was being played.
[0237] FIG. 8 is an example of a diagram for explaining the light emitting process in the overlapping area of the light emitting device according to the embodiment of the present invention.
[0238] As shown in FIG. 8, in an embodiment, the light-emitting device 300 can operate in a first library in a first space 601 affected by the signal radius of a first repeater 501, and in a second library in a second space 602 affected by the signal radius of a second repeater 502.
[0239] However, in areas Z1 and Z2 where the first and second spaces are adjacent to each other, the distance to the repeater of the corresponding space is large, so the signal may not be transmitted smoothly to the lighting device 300, or the signal may overlap with the repeater signal of the next space that the lighting device 300 is entering, causing a signal collision in the lighting device 300, resulting in incorrect lighting.
[0240] Therefore, the administrator according to the embodiment can install radio wave blocking devices 700 at the boundaries of each space, and the area where radio waves are blocked by the radio wave blocking devices can be referred to as an overlapping area OLZ.
[0241] That is, when a visitor enters the overlapping area OLZ, the control signal transmitted to the light emitting device 300 is cut off, and the light emitting device 300 can operate by its own process.
[0242] Here, the "auto-process" may refer to a process of adjusting the third setting value (in this embodiment, the brightness value) set in the previous library being played back to a lower value by a predetermined ratio, and continuously playing back the previous library by itself.
[0243] Specifically, in the embodiment, while the light-emitting device 300 is playing the first library LB1 in response to a control signal in the first space 601, if a visitor enters the overlapping area OLZ and radio waves are blocked by the radio wave blocker 700, the light-emitting device 300 may execute a process of adjusting the brightness of the first library LB1 being played back to be darker by a predetermined ratio and playing it back. That is, in the overlapping area OLZ, the light-emitting device 300 may play the first modified library LB1-M. To this end, in the embodiment, the light-emitting device 300 may store a lighting pattern setting value set in the previous library. Furthermore, if a plurality of control signals are acquired, the light-emitting device 300 may emit light according to the lighting pattern setting value of the stored previous library.
[0244] In addition, in the embodiment, while the light-emitting device 300 is operating by adjusting the third setting value of the previous library to a predetermined ratio lower through its own process, if it leaves the radio wave overlap area OLZ and receives a control signal from the second repeater 502 in the second space 602, it can immediately terminate the executed own process and operate the second library LB2 according to the received control signal.
[0245] In another embodiment, when the light emitting device 300 is located in the overlapping area OLZ, it can emit light based on a control signal having a stronger signal strength among the plurality of control signals it receives.
[0246] This reduces errors that may occur in the lighting devices, such as sudden light outages, light switching, and interruptions, when crossing over to another space in an attraction that utilizes multiple spaces, thereby providing a smooth performance for spectators and increasing satisfaction with the attraction experience.
[0247] Meanwhile, in the embodiment, the control unit 240 can change the library sent in the control signal according to a predetermined input.
[0248] In this case, the predetermined input for changing the library may include 1) when the repeater 200 is located in a predetermined specific area, 2) when a predetermined specific time is sensed, or 3) when an input from a predetermined specific light-emitting device 300 is sensed.
[0249] In the case of 3), for example, if the control unit 240 detects an input from a preset first light-emitting device while transmitting a control signal for causing light to be emitted from the first library to an unspecified number of light-emitting devices, the control unit 240 can change the transmitted first library to a second library and transmit the second library. To this end, the control unit 240 can store in advance command data for switching to the second library when an input from the first light-emitting device is detected.
[0250] In addition, in the embodiment, the control unit 240 may detect a predetermined input for switching to the event mode while transmitting a control signal according to the travel path data.
[0251] In the embodiment, if the control unit 240 detects an input to switch to the event mode, it may send a control signal to operate the corresponding mode using a preset event library.
[0252] As a result, the light emitting device 300 located within a predetermined distance from the repeater 200 can emit light according to the event library preset in the event mode, rather than the previously transmitted library.
[0253] In an embodiment, the lighting device 300 may be activated by a specific lighting effect when a predetermined input is applied to the lighting device 300 while the lighting device 300 is emitting light according to an event library.
[0254] For example, various embodiments may exist in which the light-emitting device emits light with a sparkle effect when shaken, or emits light with a laser effect when a predetermined button included in the light-emitting device is pressed.
[0255] In addition, in an embodiment, the control unit 240 may record the time when the input for switching to the event mode is detected as history, and may also record the time when the event mode is released.
[0256] Accordingly, in the embodiment, the control unit 240 can store the event mode time including the event start time and the event end time.
[0257] The event mode time stored in this manner can be reflected in the travel path data pre-stored in the repeater 200.
[0258] Then, in an embodiment, the control unit 240 may change the moving path data reflecting the event mode time point into history data and store the history data.
[0259] The stored history data can be reused later. That is, in an embodiment, the control unit 240 may switch to the event mode at the stored event mode point while operating according to the travel path data included in the history data, and control the repeater 200 to send the event library.
[0260] As a result, when a specific event is added to existing travel route data and the mode of a lighting device or the like needs to be changed, history data can be easily generated by operating the repeater without the need to generate and store new travel route data, and since this history data can be reused, the time required for data generation and downloading is dramatically reduced, and it is possible to flexibly deal with situations where an event is suddenly added.
[0261] As described above, the automatic control signal transmission system based on a fixed repeater according to an embodiment of the present invention places repeaters in multiple spaces, and when a lighting device is detected within a predetermined distance from the repeater, it automatically transmits a signal to control the lighting device according to predetermined set information, thereby eliminating spatial constraints in performances using lighting devices, reducing the time / procedure waste required for setting up to control the lighting device, and being used in activities that allow the experience of multiple spaces, thereby increasing audience satisfaction with the event experience.
[0262] In addition, the automatic control signal transmission system based on a fixed repeater according to an embodiment of the present invention breaks away from the existing operating system that requires direct operator control, eliminating the need for training on repeater control, and eliminating the need to operate the repeater every time a performance is required, resulting in increased economic efficiency due to reduced human resources.
[0263] In addition, the automatic control signal transmission system based on the fixed repeater according to an embodiment of the present invention supports continuous / repeated / periodic event production formats, thereby enabling multiple people using the space to easily have a new experience without having to design complex productions.
[0264] The above-described embodiments of the present invention may be implemented in the form of program instructions that can be executed by various computer components and stored on a computer-readable recording medium. The computer-readable recording medium may include, alone or in combination, program instructions, data files, data structures, and the like.
