Background Art

[0002] Light-emitting devices are manufactured to display various hues in a dark space and activate a magnificent effect, and are not only used as cheering props in concerts and showcases, but also utilized in nighttime 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. By allowing the administrator to control the light-emitting devices owned by people, 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 utilized 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 outside compared to the concert staff, it is difficult to utilize them 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 for expanding the utilization range of performances using light-emitting devices are emerging.

[0065] 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).

[0066] For this purpose, the input / output system 150 may include a sensor system 160 and a display system 170.

[0067] Specifically, the input / output system 150 may include predetermined buttons, touch sensors, and / or image sensors for receiving user motion input.

[0068] Furthermore, the input / output system 150 can be connected to an external controller via the interface module 140 to receive user input.

[0069] Furthermore, the input / output system 150 can receive user input (for example, touch input, mouse input, keyboard input, gesture input, motion input using a guide tool, etc.).

[0070] For example, terminal 100 can acquire user input by connecting the input / output system 150 to at least one device such as a mouse 151, keyboard 153, gesture input controller, image sensor (e.g., camera), and audio sensor using various communication protocols.

[0071] Furthermore, terminal 100 can be connected to an external output device via the input / output system 150, for example, a display system 170, an audio output device, etc., to output predetermined data.

[0095] • Repeater 200

[0096] 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 presentation services and transmits the received control signals to a light-emitting device 300.

[0097] 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 send out the acquired control signals.

[0098] In one embodiment, the repeater 200 may be a device provided on a predetermined mobile device that moves together with the mobile device as it moves, and transmits a predetermined control signal to at least one or more light-emitting devices sensed within a predetermined range.

[0099] 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.

[0100] In this embodiment, the repeater 200 may include a repeater terminal, an antenna, and / or a distance adjuster.

[0101] 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.

[0102] The relay terminal and antenna can be mounted on a mobile device (e.g., a parade car). In this case, the antenna can be mounted on the mobile device facing outwards.

[0103] 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.

[0104] 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.

[0105] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the repeater 200 may further include a custom case that can be manufactured depending on the client's installation environment.

[0106] 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.

[0107] 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.

[0108] 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.

[0109] For this purpose, terminal 100 and / or repeater 200 can generate and configure setting information applicable to repeater 200.

[0110] Figure 3 is an internal block diagram of a repeater according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0111] 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.

[0112] Specifically, the control signal transmission unit 210 may include one or more devices for communicating with the terminal 100.

[0113] Furthermore, the control signal transmission unit 210 can also communicate with other terminals in order to realize an environment for control signal communication.

[0114] 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.

[0115] 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 (e.g., RF, IR)).

[0116] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the control signal transmission unit 210 can transmit information based on a short-range communication method.

[0117] 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).

[0118] 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.

[0119] 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).

[0120] 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.

[0121] 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.

[0122] 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 time required for users to pair each light-emitting device with the light-emitting device control signal relay unit 200 separately, and increases the speed of data transmission.

[0123] 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.

[0124] 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.

[0125] For example, the specific event and / or trigger may include detection of a person's approach based on a predetermined sensor, input detection from a light-emitting device, entry into a predetermined section, or a pre-set performance cycle.

[0126] 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.

[0127] 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.

[0128] 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).

[0129] For this purpose, the input system 230 may include predetermined buttons, controllers, touch sensors, and / or image sensors for receiving user motion input.

[0130] Furthermore, the input system 230 can be connected to an external controller via an interface unit to receive user input.

[0131] 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.).

[0132] 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.

[0133] 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.

[0134] 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.

[0135] 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.

[0136] In the case of wired input, control is possible over a distance equal to the length of the cable connected to the input device. 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.

[0137] 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.

[0138] 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.

[0139] • Lighting Device 300

[0140] 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.

[0141] Figure 4 is an internal block diagram of a light-emitting device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0142] 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.

[0143] 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.

[0144] 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.

[0145] 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).

[0146] 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.

[0147] 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.

[0148] 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.

[0149] 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.

[0150] 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.

[0151] 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.

[0152] 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.

[0153] 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.

[0154] 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.

[0155] In this embodiment, the storage unit 340 can pre-store information necessary for the light-emitting device 300 to perform its light-emitting function.

[0156] 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.

[0157] In addition, in this embodiment, the storage unit 340 can store information necessary for performing theme presentation services.

[0158] 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.

[0159] 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.

[0160] 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.

[0161] 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.

[0162] 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.

[0163] 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.

[0164] The input unit 380 can sense user input related to the theme presentation service (e.g., gestures, button presses, or other types of input).

[0165] Specifically, the input unit 380 may be equipped with predetermined buttons and / or touch sensors.

[0166] Furthermore, the input unit 380 can be connected to an external controller to receive user input.

[0167] 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.

[0168] 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.

[0169] 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.

[0170] 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.

[0171] 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.

[0172] 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.

[0173] This allows the automated broadcasting system to provide spectators with light-emitting devices 300, and when spectators watch an event (e.g., a parade, marching band, opening ceremony, etc.) in a designated area while holding the provided light-emitting devices 300, it can provide a themed performance service that changes the light-emitting pattern as a mobile device equipped with a relay approaches the area.

[0174] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the light-emitting device 300 can emit light in response to a control signal received from the repeater 200 based on the light-emitting unit 330.

[0175] 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.

[0176] 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.

[0177] 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.

[0178] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the light-emitting device 300 can transmit the data sensed by the sensor unit 370 and / or the input unit to other devices (for example, terminal 100 and / or repeater 200).

[0179] 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).

[0180] 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.

[0181] • A method for automatically transmitting control signals based on a mobile repeater.

[0182] 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 mobile repeater in order to provide a theme performance service will be described in detail with reference to the attached Figures 5 to 10.

[0183] On the other hand, in order to cause the repeater 200 to automatically send control signals based on the mobile 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.

[0184] Hereinafter, it will be briefly explained that the automatic transmission program 111 operates to execute instructions in the memory 110, and assists the repeater 200 in the method of automatically transmitting control signals based on the mobile repeater.

[0185] Furthermore, it can be briefly explained that the control unit 240 performs the following: at least one processor of the repeater 200 operates to execute instructions of the control unit 240, and the control unit 240 automatically sends control signals based on the mobile repeater as described above.

[0186] Figure 5 is a flowchart illustrating a method for automatically transmitting control signals based on a mobile repeater according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0187] As shown in Figure 5, in this embodiment, the automatic transmission program 111 can generate and store scenarios based on the library setting interface. (S101)

[0188] The library setting interface according to this 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.

[0189] In other words, in this embodiment, the automatic transmission program 111 can generate a library based on the library setting interface.

[0190] Here, the library according to the embodiment can be data in which a light emission pattern is pre-set to cause the light-emitting device 300 to emit light for a predetermined period of time.

[0191] Furthermore, the aforementioned 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.

[0192] 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.

[0193] Figure 6 is an example of a drawing illustrating a library and scenario according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0194] As shown in Figure 6, in this embodiment, scenario SCE may include at least one library LB1, LB2, LB3.

[0195] 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.

[0196] 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.

[0197] Furthermore, a single library may include the library name 400 and the first to fourth setting values ​​411, 412, 413, and 414, which are the constituent setting values ​​for each light emission pattern (hereinafter referred to as light emission pattern setting values).

[0198] Library name 400 may include at least one of the following: a predetermined identification number and / or text.

[0199] 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 414 can be data for the emission effect.

[0200] 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.

[0201] 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.

[0202] 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 414 can be set to text representing a predetermined effect.

[0203] Specifically, with the first setting value 411, the emission hue of the light-emitting device can be expressed in more than 65,535 hues.

[0204] For example, the first setting value 411, which displays the emission hue, can be represented by the values ​​(0,0,0), (0,0,1), (0,0,2), and (n,n,n) using RGB565 notation. Similarly, the third setting value 413, which displays the emission brightness, can be represented by values ​​of 0, 1, 2, and n, where the brighter the light, the larger the value.

[0205] Furthermore, the fourth setting value 414 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.

[0206] 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 414 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.

[0207] 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.

[0208] 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.

[0209] 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.

[0210] A scenario including at least one of the libraries LB1, LB2, and LB3 stored in this manner can, for example, correspond to a single course divided into multiple areas (e.g., a parade course). Furthermore, each of the multiple areas included in the course can correspond to a library. That is, while spectators are watching an event in a predetermined area included in the course, the light-emitting device 300 can change its light-emitting pattern and operate based on the control signals it receives.

[0211] Furthermore, the control signal according to the embodiment may include instruction data that activates (for example, execute, suspend, or terminate) the light-emitting device 300 using such a library.

[0212] 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, repeat, interrupt, and terminate one of the pre-stored libraries and / or scenarios in response to the acquired control signals.

[0213] In addition, the automatic transmission program 111 in this embodiment can generate travel path data that matches the generated scenario. (S103)

[0214] Here, the movement path data according to the embodiment can be data set up so that a mobile device equipped with a repeater moves along a course that includes multiple regions, and in each region, it sends out control signals that activate different libraries from each other.

[0215] Such travel path data may include scenarios with at least one library, at least one region (space) matched with each library, and / or duration information.

[0216] To this end, in the embodiment, the automatic transmission program 111 can acquire map data for the course actually used by the mobile device equipped with the relay. In this case, the location information data may include a map image and / or map interface that visualizes the course used by the mobile device and / or additional traversable routes. The travel route (course) of the mobile device can be standardized and / or unstandardized, and new traversable routes can be added depending on the current location of the mobile device.

[0217] Figure 7 is an example of a diagram illustrating travel path data according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0218] As shown in Figure 7, in this embodiment, the automatic transmission program 111 can obtain a first scenario SCE-1 in which at least one or more libraries LB1, LB2, and LB3 are arranged in a predetermined order.

[0219] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the automatic transmission program 111 can set up at least one or more divided regions M1, M2, and M3 that transmit different libraries in the location information data MAP based on predetermined inputs.

[0220] For example, an administrator can define an area by dragging and dropping input onto the location data MAP. In other words, in this embodiment, the automatic transmission program 111 can acquire a location data MAP for a course that includes multiple areas.

[0221] In this embodiment, the automatic transmission program 111 can match each region M1, M2, and M3 in order with at least one library LB1, LB2, and LB3 included in the first scenario SCE-1.

[0222] As illustrated, the first region M1 can be matched with the first library LB1, the second region M2 with the second library LB2, and the third region M3 with the third library LB3.

[0223] Furthermore, in this embodiment, once the automatic transmission program 111 has completed matching the region with each of the libraries included in the scenario, it can store the data in the travel path data.

[0224] As a result, in this embodiment, the automatic transmission program 111 can generate movement path data 20 that is set to send a control signal including command data to activate a library matched to a predetermined area on the course when the moving device is located in that area.

[0225] In order to determine the location of the mobile device on the course, the mobile device according to this embodiment may include a GPS.

[0226] The GPS installed on the mobile device can transmit location information to the terminal 100 in real time. The terminal 100 can detect the area to which the mobile device belongs based on the transmitted location information, and the relay 200 can be configured to automatically send a control signal to activate the library matched to that area.

[0227] Furthermore, the location information L can also be displayed in real time on the location information data MAP.

[0228] In other words, in this embodiment, the travel path data can mean data in which regions are matched to each library included in the scenario.

[0229] In another embodiment, the automatic transmission program 111 can pre-measure the time it takes to pass through each region and pre-set the required time for each region. Then, a control signal to activate the library can be sent for each region for the amount of time pre-set.

[0230] For example, the first library LB1 may be set to the first required time information T1, the second library LB2 to the second required time information T2, and the third library LB3 to the third required time information T3.

[0231] In other embodiments, the travel path data can mean data in which time duration information is set for each library included in the scenario.

[0232] In addition, in this embodiment, the automatic transmission program 111 can transmit the generated travel path data to the repeater 200 and the light-emitting device 300. (S105)

[0233] Specifically, in this embodiment, the automatic transmission program 111 can transmit the generated travel path data to the relay device 200, and the scenario included in the generated travel path data can be transmitted to the light-emitting device 300.

[0234] For this purpose, in the embodiment, the automatic transmission program 111 can store the travel path data, including the generated library, on an SD card and / or a portable drive.

[0235] This allows the administrator to connect the SD card and / or mobile drive to the repeater 200 and transmit and store the travel route data in the repeater 200.

[0236] 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.

[0237] Furthermore, by linking the terminal 100 and the light-emitting device 300, the library can also be transmitted to and stored in multiple light-emitting devices 300.

[0238] In this case, the light-emitting device 300 according to the embodiment can store in advance a process that increases the brightness of the library being played by a predetermined ratio when the ambient illuminance falls below a preset reference value based on the illuminance sensing sensor.

[0239] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the control unit 240 of the repeater 200 can generate setting information based on the transmitted travel path data. (S107)

[0240] In an embodiment, the setting information may include signal radius, radio wave direction, and playback mode.

[0241] 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.

[0242] In this case, since the repeater 200 is placed on the mobile device, the signal radius does not change, but as it moves together with the mobile device, the terminal devices that are located within the signal radius may change.

[0243] In other words, in this embodiment, the control unit 240 can generate setting information that sets the signal radius, radio wave direction, and / or playback mode for sending control signals based on the scenario included in the transmitted travel path data.

[0244] 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 mobile device's course.

[0245] 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 signal radius and playback mode based on inputs made using the controller, buttons, etc., of the repeater 200.

[0246] On the other hand, multiple repeaters 200 may be arranged on a single mobile device.

[0247] As a result, a light-emitting device 300 located within a first signal radius set for a first repeater located on the first mobile device can emit light in response to library activation command data included in the control signal transmitted by the first repeater within that region. Similarly, a light-emitting device 300 located within a second signal radius set for a second repeater located on the first mobile device can emit light in response to library activation command data included in the control signal transmitted by the second repeater within that region.

[0248] In other words, even if the light-emitting device 300 is adjacent to the first mobile device, the library that is activated may differ depending on which of the first and second repeaters it is adjacent to.

[0249] Thus, once the setting information input is completed for each repeater, the administrator according to the embodiment can place each repeater on the mobile device and control the mobile device to move along the course.

[0250] Figure 8 is an example of a diagram illustrating how a mobile device equipped with a repeater according to an embodiment of the present invention moves along a course.

[0251] As shown in Figure 8, the first to third mobile devices 511, 512, and 513 according to this embodiment may be provided with the first to third repeaters 501, 502, and 503, respectively.

[0252] At this time, a predetermined event group 1 exists within course C where the first to third mobile devices 511, 512, and 513 are located, and a spectator group 2 may exist at a predetermined distance away from there, affected by the first to third repeaters 501, 502, and 503 provided on the first to third mobile devices 511, 512, and 513. At this time, each spectator included in the spectator group 2 may carry a pre-provided light-emitting device.

[0253] In this embodiment, the control unit 240 can set the first repeater 501 to send control signals for a distance equal to the first signal radius 521 based on setting information. The second repeater 502 can be set to send control signals for a distance equal to the second signal radius 522, and the third repeater 503 can be set to send control signals for a distance equal to the third signal radius 523. Furthermore, each signal radius can be different depending on the setting information for each repeater.

[0254] At this time, multiple light-emitting devices 300 held by spectators located within the first signal radius 521 can be activated in response to the control signal from the first repeater 501.

[0255] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the control unit 240 can automatically send control signals including a library based on the setting information. (S109)

[0256] 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.

[0257] In this embodiment, once the installation of relays for each mobile device 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 relay 200.

[0258] As further shown in Figure 8, as the first to third mobile devices 511, 512, and 513 move, the region to which each mobile device belongs changes. For example as shown, when the first mobile device 511 is in the first region 601, it can send a control signal to activate the first library matched to the first region 601 at the first repeater 511 provided on the first mobile device 511.

[0259] Then, when the first mobile device 511 moves to the second region 602, the first repeater 511 provided on the first mobile device 511 can send a control signal to activate the second library matched to the second region 602.

[0260] Thus, in this embodiment, the control unit 240 can send out libraries matched to each region that is modified by moving together with the mobile device.

[0261] At this time, if the first to third moving devices 501, 502, and 503 become adjacent to each other while moving, the signal radii 521, 522, and 523 overlap, and a light-emitting device 300 that receives multiple control signals may be generated. At this time, the region in which the signal radii overlap can be called the overlapping area OLZ.

[0262] At least one light-emitting device 300 located in the superimposed area OLZ can be operated by its own process. Further details will be provided later.

[0263] 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. (S111)

[0264] 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.

[0265] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the light-emitting device 300 can emit light in response to the transmitted control signal. (S113)

[0266] 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.

[0267] 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.

[0268] 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.

[0269] Figures 9 and 10 are examples of drawings illustrating the light emission process in the superposition area of ​​a light-emitting device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0270] As shown in Figure 9, in this embodiment, the light-emitting device 300 can operate in the first library in the first region 601 affected by the signal radius of the first repeater 501, and in the second library in the second region 602 affected by the signal radius of the second repeater 502.

[0271] However, if the second mobile device 512, which is equipped with the second repeater 502, is adjacent to the first mobile device 511, which is equipped with the first repeater 501, and an overlapping area OLZ is formed, then signals may not be transmitted smoothly to the light-emitting devices 300 located in the overlapping area OLZ, or signal collisions may occur, resulting in the devices not emitting light correctly.

[0272] As a result, in this embodiment, the light-emitting device 300 can execute its own process once it is determined that it has entered the superimposed area OLZ.

[0273] As shown in Figure 10, the aforementioned process can mean a process that adjusts the light emission pattern setting value of the first library, which was previously being reproduced by the control signal that was transmitted earlier, and maintains it for a predetermined time.

[0274] For example, the light-emitting device 300 can be operated by a control signal from a first library LB1 in a first signal radius 521 and can be included in the superposition area OLZ by a control signal in a second signal radius 522.

[0275] At this point, if the light-emitting device 300 determines that it has entered the superposition area OLZ, it terminates the activation command of the first library LB1, which was being operated by the first signal radius 521, and can begin its own process to emit light.

[0276] Here, the adjusted light emission pattern setting value may be at least one of the first to fourth setting values. For example, the light-emitting device 300 can be adjusted to emit light at a slower speed than the existing library by adjusting the second setting value (e.g., the light emission time value) by a predetermined ratio, or to emit light at a lower brightness than the existing library by adjusting the third setting value (e.g., the brightness value) by a predetermined ratio.

[0277] In other words, in the superimposed area OLZ, a modified first library LB1-M can be reproduced by changing the light emission pattern setting value of the existing first library. For this purpose, the light-emitting device 300 in this embodiment 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.

[0278] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the light-emitting device 300, while operating in the first modified library LB1-M through its own process, can enter the second signal radius 522 to acquire a control signal to activate the second library in the second signal radius 522. Alternatively, it can decide to enter control signal acquisition mode again after a predetermined set time and acquire a new control signal.

[0279] At this point, the light-emitting device 300 determines that it has moved out of the superposition area OLZ, terminates its own process which was operating in the first deformed library LB1-M which was operating due to the second signal radius 522, and can activate the second library LB2.

[0280] 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.

[0281] This reduces the likelihood of errors occurring in lighting devices, such as light failures, switching, and interruptions, when relay stations are located adjacent to each other in events that move along a course containing multiple areas. This provides a smoother experience for spectators and increases their satisfaction with the event.

[0282] On the other hand, in the embodiment, the control unit 240 can change the library sent by the control signal based on a predetermined input.

[0283] 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.

[0284] Taking the case of (3) as an example, when the control unit 240 is sending a control signal for causing light emission in the first library to a large number of unspecified light-emitting devices, if it senses the input of the preset first light-emitting device, it can change the sent first library to the second library and send it. For this purpose, the control unit 240 can pre-store command data for switching to the second library if the input of the first light-emitting device is sensed.

[0285] Also, in the embodiment, the control unit 240 can sense a predetermined input for switching to the event mode while sending a control signal according to the movement path data.

[0286] In the embodiment, if the control unit 240 senses the input for switching to the event mode, a control signal for operating in the event library preset for the mode can be sent.

[0287] Thereby, the light-emitting device 300 located within a predetermined distance from the repeater 200 can emit light according to the event library preset for the event mode, rather than the library that has been sent.

[0288] In the embodiment, when a predetermined input is given to the light-emitting device 300 while it is emitting light according to the event library, it can operate by a specific light-emitting effect.

[0289] For example, when the light-emitting device is shaken, it may emit light with a shining effect, or when a predetermined button included in the light-emitting device is pressed, it may emit light with a laser effect. There can be various embodiments.

[0290] Also, in the embodiment, the control unit 240 can record the time when the input for switching to the event mode is sensed as a history. Similarly, the time when the event mode switching is canceled can also be recorded.

[0291] 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.

[0292] The event mode timestamps stored in this manner can be reflected in the travel path data pre-stored in the repeater 200.

[0293] 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.

[0294] 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.

[0295] 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.

[0296] As described above, the automatic control signal transmission system based on a mobile relay 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 experiential spaces, thereby increasing the satisfaction of the audience with the event experience.

[0297] Furthermore, the automatic control signal transmission system based on a mobile 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.

[0298] Furthermore, the automatic control signal transmission system based on a mobile relay device according to an embodiment of the present invention has the effect of easily providing new experiences to multiple people experiencing an experiential space without having to design complex performances, by supporting continuous / repeated / periodic event performance formats.
