MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

[0011] Hereinafter, embodiments will be specifically described with reference to the drawings. Note that each of the embodiments described below shows a comprehensive or specific example, and the numerical values, shapes, materials, components, arrangement positions and connection forms of the components, steps, order of steps, etc. shown in the following embodiments are merely examples and are not intended to limit the present invention. In addition, among the components in the following embodiments, the components not described in the independent claims are described as optional components.

[0012] Each figure is a schematic diagram and is not necessarily drawn precisely. Also, in each figure, the same reference numerals are given to substantially the same configurations, and duplicate explanations may be omitted or simplified.

[0013] (Embodiment) [Configuration] First, the configuration of the lighting system according to the embodiment will be described.

[0014] FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the functional configuration of a lighting system 300 according to the embodiment.

[0015] The lighting system 300 is a system that controls the lighting modes such as on / off (lighting or extinguishing), color, and / or light distribution of the light emitted by a plurality of lighting fixtures 200 arranged in a predetermined space such as a building by an operation terminal 100. In the operation terminal 100, in order to make these plurality of lighting fixtures 200 controllable by the operation terminal 100, the lighting fixtures 200 are registered.

[0016] The lighting system 300 includes an operation terminal 100 and a plurality of lighting fixtures 200.

[0017] In the lighting system 300, for example, each of the plurality of lighting fixtures 200 has a wireless communication function, and the plurality of lighting fixtures 200 form a mesh network. Each lighting fixture 200 in the mesh network corresponds to a communication node. In the mesh network, when transmitting information from one communication node (also referred to as the first communication node) to another communication node (also referred to as the second communication node), the information is transmitted in a bucket relay manner. Specifically, when the first communication node broadcasts and transmits information including the address information (destination information) of the second communication node, each of the other communication nodes belonging to the same mesh network as the first communication node that receives this information further broadcasts and transmits the received information. That is, each of the other communication nodes relays the information. By repeating such information relaying within the same mesh network, the above information transmitted by the first communication node reaches all communication nodes belonging to the same mesh network as the first communication node. Therefore, the second communication node can receive the information transmitted by the first communication node.

[0018] The information transmitted through the mesh network is, for example, control information for controlling the lighting, extinguishing, or dimming of the lighting fixture 200. Also, when an environmental sensor is included in the mesh network, there may be a case where the measured value (sensing information) of the environmental sensor is transmitted. The environmental sensor is, for example, a sensor such as a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, a carbon dioxide concentration sensor, and / or a PM (Particle Matter) sensor.

[0019] The lighting fixture 200 is a base light or the like that is installed on the ceiling of a predetermined space, such as the interior of a building, to illuminate the predetermined space. As described above, each of the multiple lighting fixtures 200 has a wireless communication function, and the multiple lighting fixtures 200 form a mesh network. The form of the lighting fixture 200 is not particularly limited and may be a ceiling light, downlight, or spotlight, etc.

[0020] The lighting fixture 200 comprises a wireless communication unit and a light source. The wireless communication unit is a wireless communication circuit for the lighting fixture 200 to communicate wirelessly (more specifically, via radio waves) with other lighting fixtures 200 and the operating terminal 100. After the lighting fixture 200 joins the mesh network, the wireless communication unit communicates through the mesh network. Before the lighting fixture 200 joins the mesh network, the wireless communication unit periodically transmits a beacon signal (sometimes called an advertisement signal, etc.) and communicates wirelessly with the operating terminal 100 that receives the beacon signal. Specifically, the wireless communication unit communicates wirelessly according to a communication standard such as BLE (Bluetooth® Low Energy) or Wi-Fi®. The light source emits white light into the room so that the lighting fixture 200 can illuminate the room. The light source is realized by, for example, an LED (Light Emitting Diode) element, but may also be realized by other light-emitting elements such as a semiconductor laser, organic EL (Electro Luminescence), or inorganic EL.

[0021] The operating terminal 100 is a terminal for registering multiple lighting fixtures 200 so that a user can control multiple lighting fixtures 200 via the operating terminal 100 or the like. The operating terminal 100 is, for example, a smartphone, tablet, or PDA (Personal Digital Assistant). Alternatively, the operating terminal 100 may be a dedicated remote controller used in the lighting system 300.

[0022] In this context, "user" refers to, for example, the installer who performed the installation work of multiple lighting fixtures 200 on the ceiling, but it could also refer to any other user besides the installer.

[0023] Furthermore, registration refers to the process of storing, for example, a lighting fixture 200 that a user can operate (control) using the operation terminal 100 in the storage unit 150. Specifically, registration is the process of linking user information indicating the user using the operation terminal 100 with identification information that uniquely identifies the lighting fixture 200 and storing it in the storage unit 150. The registered information is transmitted to a server, for example, and shared with the operation terminals of other users. As a result, for example, a lighting fixture 200 that has already been linked to user information (i.e., a registered lighting fixture 200) cannot be registered by any user other than the user indicated by the user information, and the lighting fixture 200 cannot be operated by any other user.

[0024] Furthermore, multiple users may register a single lighting fixture 200.

[0025] Furthermore, the identification information only needs to be unique to each of the 200 lighting fixtures, and can be any information such as an arbitrarily defined fixture name, MAC (Media Access Control), address, or product number.

[0026] Furthermore, user information can be any information, such as the user's name.

[0027] The operating terminal 100 includes a communication unit 110, a display unit 120, a reception unit 130, a control unit 140, and a storage unit 150.

[0028] The communication unit 110 is a wireless communication circuit for the operation terminal 100 to communicate wirelessly (more specifically, via radio waves) with each of the multiple lighting fixtures 200. Specifically, the communication unit 110 communicates wirelessly according to a communication standard such as BLE or Wi-Fi (registered trademark). In this embodiment, the operation terminal 100 and the multiple lighting fixtures 200 communicate wirelessly with each other according to the BLE communication standard.

[0029] The display unit 120 displays the images necessary for the initial setup procedure described above. The display unit 120 is implemented by a display panel such as a liquid crystal panel or an organic EL panel.

[0030] The reception unit 130 receives user input and operations such as tapping. For example, the reception unit 130 receives an instruction from the user to specify a desired lighting fixture 200 from among the lighting fixtures 200 (specifically, a fixture icon representing the lighting fixture 200) displayed on the display unit 120. The control unit 140 associates the lighting fixture 200 for which the instruction was received with user information representing the user and stores it in the storage unit 150. In other words, the control unit 140 registers the lighting fixture 200 based on the instruction received by the reception unit 130. The reception unit 130 can be implemented, for example, by a touch panel.

[0031] In this embodiment, the display unit 120 and the reception unit 130 are integrated and implemented as a touch panel display.

[0032] The control unit 140 is a processing unit that displays a map of a predetermined space where multiple lighting fixtures 200 are installed on the display unit 120. The control unit 140 also performs information processing such as registration in response to user operations received by the reception unit 130. First, the reception unit 130 receives user information indicating the user operating the operation terminal 100 and a start operation instructing the operation of the operation terminal 100 from the user. Based on the start operation, the control unit 140 displays a setting image 400 on the display unit 120. A map (map information) indicating the predetermined space where multiple lighting fixtures 200 are installed, and lighting fixture placement information (e.g., coordinate information) indicating where the multiple lighting fixtures 200 are installed are stored in the storage unit 150 in advance, for example. The operation terminal 100 may acquire this information by communicating with the multiple lighting fixtures 200 or an external server, for example. The control unit 140 displays fixture icons 430 corresponding to the multiple lighting fixtures 200 on the display unit 120. The reception unit 130 receives a selection operation from the user for one of several fixture icons 430. The selection operation is, for example, a tap operation on one of the fixture icons 430. The reception unit 130 also receives a request from the user to specify the installation location of the lighting fixture 200 on the map. The control unit 140 then links (associates) the user information with the identification information of the lighting fixture 200 indicated by the selected fixture icon 430 and stores it in the storage unit 150. As a result, the lighting fixture 200 is registered in the operation terminal 100.

[0033] The control unit 140 is implemented, for example, by a microcomputer, but may also be implemented by a processor or dedicated circuitry. The functions of the control unit 140 are realized by the execution of a computer program (software) stored in the storage unit 150 by the hardware, such as the microcomputer or processor that constitutes the control unit 140.

[0034] The memory unit 150 is a storage device that stores information necessary for information processing, such as computer programs, executed by the control unit 140. The memory unit 150 is implemented, for example, by semiconductor memory.

[0035] Next, we will explain the image that the control unit 140 displays on the display unit 120.

[0036] Figure 2 shows a setting image 400 according to the embodiment.

[0037] The configuration image 400 is an image for receiving instructions from the user. Specifically, the configuration image 400 is an image that includes a map showing a predetermined space where multiple lighting fixtures 200 are installed, the installation locations of the multiple lighting fixtures 200, and buttons for receiving instructions from the user.

[0038] The setting image 400 includes the first map 410 and the second map 530.

[0039] The first map 410 is an image that includes a partial spatial map showing a portion of a predetermined space, and first position information showing the locations of one or more lighting fixtures 200 installed in a portion of the predetermined space, out of a plurality of lighting fixtures 200 installed in the predetermined space. In other words, the first map is an enlarged map showing a magnified portion of the predetermined space. The first position information is, for example, a fixture icon 430. The fixture icon 430 is displayed in the first map 410 at a location corresponding to the actual location where the lighting fixture 200 is placed.

[0040] For example, the first map 410 may display only the fixture icons 430 for unregistered lighting fixtures 200 among multiple lighting fixtures 200 placed in a certain space, but it is also possible to display all the fixture icons 430 for multiple lighting fixtures 200 placed in a certain space. Furthermore, for example, the first map 410 may display fixture icons 430 representing any lighting fixture 200 based on user input.

[0041] The second map 530 is an image that includes an overall spatial map showing the entire predetermined space and second location information indicating the location of at least one of the multiple lighting fixtures 200. Furthermore, the second map 530 has a smaller display area on the display unit 120 than the first map 410. In other words, the second map 530 is displayed smaller on the display unit 120 than the first map 410. That is, the second map 530 is a map (minimap) that shows the entire predetermined space on a smaller scale. The second location information is, for example, a fixture icon 440. The fixture icon 440 is displayed at a location on the second map 530 that corresponds to the actual location where the lighting fixture 200 is placed.

[0042] Thus, the control unit 140 causes the display unit 120 to display (i) a first map 410 which includes a partial spatial map showing a portion of a predetermined space and first position information indicating the locations of one or more lighting fixtures 200 installed in a portion of a plurality of lighting fixtures 200 installed in the predetermined space, and (ii) a second map 530 which includes an overall spatial map showing the entire predetermined space and second position information indicating the location of at least one lighting fixture 200 among the plurality of lighting fixtures 200, and which has a smaller display area than the first map 410 on the display unit 120.

[0043] For example, the memory unit 150 stores spatial map information (spatial map information) that shows a predetermined space, and position information that shows the position of each of the multiple lighting fixtures 200 in the predetermined space. The control unit 140 generates a partial spatial map, which is a map of the display position received from the user, from the spatial map information, based on the spatial map information and the instruction indicating the display position received from the user, and displays it on the display unit 120. Also, for example, the control unit 140 overlays the fixture icon 430 on the partial spatial map on the display unit 120 based on the position information. As a result, the control unit 140 displays the first map 410 on the display unit 120. Also, for example, the control unit 140 generates an overall spatial map, which is a map showing the entire predetermined space, based on the spatial map information, and displays it on the display unit 120. For example, if the spatial map information includes information indicating the arrangement of other equipment and items other than the lighting fixtures 200, the control unit 140 will not display this information and will generate an overall spatial map showing a floor plan including walls and doors in a predetermined area and display it on the display unit 120. Also, for example, based on the location information, the control unit 140 will overlay the fixture icons 440 onto the overall spatial map on the display unit 120. As a result, the control unit 140 will display the second map 530 on the display unit 120.

[0044] For example, the second map 530 may display only the fixture icons 440 of unregistered lighting fixtures 200 among a plurality of lighting fixtures 200 placed in a predetermined space, but it is also possible to display all the fixture icons 440 of the plurality of lighting fixtures 200 placed in the predetermined space. Furthermore, for example, the second map 530 may display fixture icons 440 representing any lighting fixture 200 based on user input.

[0045] Furthermore, information showing a subspatial map and information showing a whole spatial map may be stored in the storage unit 150. Also, the control unit 140 may display the first map 410 and the second map 530 on the display unit 120 based on this information.

[0046] The second map 530, specifically the navigator image 420 including the second map 530, is displayed, for example, when the setting selection section 610 (specifically, "Map", "Area / Zone", "Scene", or "Sensor") in the setting image 400 is selected by the user.

[0047] The setting selection unit 610 is an image (button) that is selected by the user according to the content of the setting being made when the user makes various settings.

[0048] Figure 3 shows a first example of the second map according to the embodiment.

[0049] The navigator image 420, which includes the second map 530 shown in Figure 3, is the image displayed when "Map" is selected by the user in the setting selection section 610 of the setting image 400.

[0050] In the settings image 400 displayed when "Map" is selected by the user, the user sets where to place the fixture icon 430, which represents the lighting fixture 200, on the map displayed on the display unit 120. For example, the user determines the position of the fixture icon 430 on the first map 410 by tapping the fixture icon 430 and the desired location, or by dragging the fixture icon 430 to the desired location. The control unit 140 then determines the position of the fixture icon 440 on the second map 530 and displays it on the display unit 120 based on the input of the tap or drag operation. In other words, for example, the control unit 140 reflects the position of the fixture icon 430 on the first map 410 to the position of the fixture icon 440 on the second map 530.

[0051] The navigator image 420 includes, for example, a navigation label 500, a magnification display unit 510, a close button 520, a second map 530, a display area unit 540, a first unit number unit 550, a second unit number unit 560, a file name display unit 570, a rotation button 580, a zoom out button 590, and a zoom in button 600.

[0052] Navigation label 500 is a label that can be manipulated by the user. For example, the user can change the display position of the navigator gadget (navigator image 420) by dragging navigation label 500. For example, by default, the control unit 140 displays the navigator image 420 in the upper right corner of the display unit 120 screen.

[0053] The magnification display unit 510 is a label that indicates the magnification (magnification from a predetermined size) of the second map 530 currently displayed.

[0054] The close button 520 is used to remove the display of the navigator image 420.

[0055] Map 2, 530, is a map that includes an overall spatial image and equipment icons, 440.

[0056] In Figure 3, the fixture icon 440 is displayed as a white circle for unregistered lighting fixtures 200, and as a circle with dot hatching (hereinafter also simply referred to as a black circle) for registered lighting fixtures 200. For example, the fixture icon 440 for unregistered lighting fixtures 200 is displayed in dark gray, and the fixture icon 440 for registered lighting fixtures 200 is displayed in light gray. In this way, the control unit 140 displays on the display unit 120, in the second map 530, registered information indicating at least one lighting fixture 200 shown on the second map 530 that is linked to user information indicating a predetermined user (i.e., a registered lighting fixture 200) and at least one lighting fixture 200 that is not linked to user information (i.e., an unregistered lighting fixture 200), and the registered information and the unregistered information are displayed on the display unit 120 in different display modes. In the example shown in Figure 3, the registered information is represented by a fixture icon 440 displayed as a black circle. In the example shown in Figure 3, the unregistered information is represented by a fixture icon 440 displayed as a white circle.

[0057] Furthermore, a difference in display means, for example, a difference in color, but it may also mean a difference in shape or size, and can be arbitrarily defined as long as the appearance is different.

[0058] The display area 540 is a graphic that indicates the position of the first map 410 in the second map 530. For example, the user can change the position and / or size of the display area 540 by dragging and / or pinching it. The control unit 140 determines the position and size of the subspace map in the spatial map based on the position and size of the display area 540, and displays the first map 410, which includes the subspace map of the determined position and size, on the display unit 120. This allows the user to display the first map 410 at the desired position and size on the display unit 120. In this way, for example, the control unit 140 displays enlarged position information (display area 540) indicating the position of a part of the space displayed in the first map 410 in the second map 530 on the display unit 120.

[0059] In Figure 3, the display area 540 is shown as a dashed rectangle, but it can be any shape and color. For example, the display area 540 may be shown as a solid blue rectangle. Of course, the display area 540 may also be shown in other colors, and as a polygon or ellipse, for example.

[0060] The first unit number section 550 is text indicating the number of fixture icons 440 representing unregistered lighting fixtures 200.

[0061] The second unit number 560 is text indicating the number of fixture icons 440 representing registered lighting fixtures 200.

[0062] The file name display section 570 is text indicating the name of the image file used as the background for the second map 530.

[0063] Furthermore, if there is no image to be used as the background for the second map 530, the file name display section 570 does not need to be displayed.

[0064] The rotation button 580 is a button used to rotate and display the second map 530. For example, when the rotation button 580 is tapped, the control unit 140 rotates the second map 530 by 180° and displays it.

[0065] The shrink button 590 is a button used to shrink and display the second map 530. For example, when the shrink button 590 is tapped, the control unit 140 reduces the display area (display magnification) of the second map 530 by 10%.

[0066] Note that the magnification factor to be changed does not have to be -10% and can be arbitrarily determined.

[0067] The zoom button 600 is a button used to enlarge and display the second map 530. For example, when the zoom button 600 is tapped, the control unit 140 increases the display area (display magnification) of the second map 530 by +10%.

[0068] Note that the multiplier to be changed does not have to be +10%; it can be set arbitrarily.

[0069] Furthermore, a range of adjustable magnification may be defined. For example, if the initial magnification is 100%, the range of adjustable magnification may be defined as 10% to 2000%. The control unit 140, for example, will change the size of the second map 530 within the range of 10% to 2000% and display it on the display unit 120 if the user taps the reduce button 590 and the zoom button 600, but will not change the size of the second map 530 based on the tap operation if the user taps the reduce button 590 and the zoom button 600 in a way that puts it outside the range of 10% to 2000%.

[0070] The control unit 140 may store information indicating the changed display position and information indicating the changed size of the second map 530 in the storage unit 150. For example, when the control unit 140 displays the navigator image 420 for the next time, it will display the navigator image 420 on the display unit 120 at the position indicated by the stored information and with the size of the second map 530 indicated by the stored information.

[0071] Note that the second map displayed on the display unit 120 is not limited to the example described above.

[0072] Figure 4 shows a second example of the second map according to the embodiment.

[0073] The navigator image 421, which includes the second map 531 shown in Figure 4, is displayed when the user selects "Area / Zone" in the setting selection section 610 of the setting image 400.

[0074] In the settings image 400 displayed when "Area / Zone" is selected by the user, the user groups multiple lighting fixtures 200. For example, the user sets a zone by tapping the fixture icon 430 of the lighting fixtures 200 that they want to group together in the same group. For example, the control unit 140 stores in the storage unit 150 the group information (zone information) indicating the group name of the group and the identification information of the lighting fixture 200, so that the lighting fixtures 200 indicated by the tapped fixture icon 430 are grouped into the same group (zone). As a result, each group (zone) contains one or more lighting fixtures 200. Alternatively, for example, the user sets an area by tapping the fixture icon 430 of the lighting fixtures 200 that they want to group together in the same group (area). For example, the control unit 140 groups the zones to which the tapped fixture icon 430 belongs into the same group (area) by linking group information (area information) indicating the group name of the group with the identification information of the lighting fixture 200 and storing it in the storage unit 150. As a result, each group (area) contains one or more zones. In this way, the identification information of each lighting fixture 200 is linked with zone information indicating the zone to which the fixture belongs and area information indicating the area to which the fixture belongs (specifically, the area to which the zone to which the fixture belongs belongs) and stored in the storage unit 150. Figure 4 shows the navigator image 421 that is displayed when area settings are made.

[0075] Navigator image 421 differs from navigator image 420 in its second map 531, first unit number section 551, and second unit number section 561.

[0076] Map 2, 531, is a map that includes an overall spatial image and equipment icons 441.

[0077] In Figure 4, fixture icons 441 are displayed as black circles for fixture icons 441 that are selected to belong to the same area (group), and as white circles for fixture icons 441 that represent other fixtures 200. For example, fixture icons 441 that are selected to belong to the same area are displayed in yellow, and fixture icons 441 that represent other fixtures 200 are displayed in light gray.

[0078] Thus, the meaning indicated by the color assigned to fixture icon 441 differs from that of fixture icon 440. In other words, the information indicated by fixture icon 441, other than the position of the lighting fixture 200, differs from that of fixture icon 440.

[0079] The second unit number section 561 is text indicating the number of fixture icons 441 that represent lighting fixtures 200 selected to belong to the same area.

[0080] The first unit number section 551 is text indicating the number of fixture icons 441 representing other lighting fixtures 200 (i.e., those not selected to belong to the area).

[0081] Figure 5 shows a third example of the second map according to the embodiment.

[0082] The navigator image 422, which includes the second map 532 shown in Figure 5, is displayed when the user selects "Scene" in the setting selection section 610 of the setting image 400.

[0083] In the setting image 400 displayed when "Scene" is selected by the user, the user sets the lighting mode (scene) for multiple lighting fixtures 200. For example, when "Scene" is selected by the user, the control unit 140 displays an image (not shown) on the display unit 120 for the user to input the lighting mode of the lighting fixtures 200. The user selects, for example, information indicating a zone or area displayed in the image and inputs the desired lighting mode. The control unit 140 controls one or more lighting fixtures 200 belonging to the selected zone or area together so that they conform to the input lighting mode. In this way, the lighting mode for multiple lighting fixtures 200 is determined on a zone-by-zone or area-by-area basis. As a result, multiple lighting fixtures 200 are controlled together on a zone-by-zone or area-by-area basis. Figure 5 shows the navigator image 422 displayed when scene setting is performed.

[0084] Navigator image 422 differs from navigator image 420 in its second map 532, first unit number section 552, and second unit number section 562.

[0085] Map 532, the second map, is a map that includes an overall spatial image and equipment icons 442.

[0086] In Figure 5, the fixture icons 442 are displayed as black circles for fixture icons 442 representing lighting fixtures 200 belonging to the zone selected by the user, and as white circles for fixture icons 442 representing other lighting fixtures 200. Alternatively, fixture icons 442 representing lighting fixtures 200 belonging to the zone selected by the user may be displayed in yellow, and fixture icons 442 representing other lighting fixtures 200 may be displayed in light gray.

[0087] The second unit number section 562 is text indicating the number of fixture icons 442 representing lighting fixtures 200 belonging to the zone selected by the user.

[0088] The first unit number section 552 is text indicating the number of fixture icons 442 representing other lighting fixtures 200 (i.e., those not belonging to the zone in question).

[0089] Figure 6 shows a fourth example of the second map according to the embodiment.

[0090] The navigator image 423, which includes the second map 533 shown in Figure 6, is displayed when the user selects "Sensor" in the setting selection unit 610 of the setting image 400.

[0091] In the settings image 400 displayed when "Sensor" is selected by the user, the user configures the lighting fixtures 200 that will be controlled based on the detection results of the environmental sensors. The environmental sensors are, for example, placed in a predetermined space and detect the environment of that space (e.g., temperature, humidity, light intensity, or presence or absence of people). The detection results of the environmental sensors are transmitted, for example, to a lighting fixture 200 selected from among several lighting fixtures 200 to perform control based on the detection results of the environmental sensors. The selected lighting fixture 200 controls the lighting mode, such as turning light emission on or off or controlling the light intensity, based on the detection results.

[0092] In the settings image 400 displayed when "Sensor" is selected by the user, the user configures the sensor by selecting the fixture icon 430 of the lighting fixture 200 that they want to be controlled based on the detection results of the environmental sensor, for example, by tapping. Alternatively, if the above zone settings have already been made, the user selects the zone that contains the lighting fixture 200 that they want to be controlled based on the detection results of the environmental sensor (for example, by entering information indicating the zone). The settings image 400 may also include images of buttons or other elements to accept zone selection from the user. For example, the control unit 140 associates the identification information of the lighting fixture 200 indicated by the selected fixture icon 430 with the sensor control information indicating that the lighting fixture 200 should perform control based on the detection results of the environmental sensor, and stores this information in the storage unit 150. As a result, the lighting fixture 200 performs control based on the detection results of the environmental sensor. Figure 6 shows the navigator image 423 displayed when sensor settings are made.

[0093] Navigator image 423 differs from navigator image 420 in its second map 533, first unit number section 553, and second unit number section 563.

[0094] Map 533, the second map, is a map that includes an overall spatial image and equipment icons 443.

[0095] In Figure 6, the fixture icons 443 representing lighting fixtures 200 that are controlled based on the detection results of the environmental sensor are displayed as black circles, while the fixture icons 443 representing other lighting fixtures 200 are displayed as white circles. Alternatively, for example, the fixture icons 443 representing lighting fixtures 200 that are controlled based on the detection results of the environmental sensor may be displayed in light gray, while the fixture icons 443 representing other lighting fixtures 200 may be displayed in dark gray.

[0096] The second unit number section 563 is text indicating the number of fixture icons 443 that represent lighting fixtures 200 selected to be controlled based on the detection results of the environmental sensor.

[0097] The first unit number section 553 is text indicating the number of fixture icons 443 representing other lighting fixtures 200 (i.e., those that are not controlled based on the detection results of the environmental sensor).

[0098] [Processing Procedure] Next, the processing procedure of the operating terminal 100 will be explained.

[0099] Figure 7 is a flowchart showing the processing procedure of the operating terminal 100 according to the embodiment.

[0100] First, the reception unit 130 receives user information such as the username from the user (S110). For example, the user inputs user information by tapping the user selection unit 610 shown in Figure 2 and selecting their own username. This identifies, for example, the user of the operating terminal 100.

[0101] The user selection unit 610 is an image (button) for receiving user information from the user.

[0102] Next, the control unit 140 causes the display unit 120 to display (i) a first map 410 which includes a partial spatial map showing a portion of a predetermined space and first position information (e.g., fixture icons 430) indicating the location of one or more lighting fixtures 200 installed in a portion of a plurality of lighting fixtures 200 installed in the predetermined space; and (ii) a second map (e.g., second maps 530 to 533) which includes an overall spatial map showing the entire predetermined space and second position information (e.g., fixture icons 440 to 443) indicating the location of at least one lighting fixture 200 among the plurality of lighting fixtures 200, and which has a smaller display area than the first map 410 (S120). For example, the control unit 140 causes the display unit 120 to display fixture icons 430, 440 indicating unregistered lighting fixtures 200 and fixture icons 430, 440 indicating registered lighting fixtures 200 in different display modes.

[0103] Next, the reception unit 130 accepts the designation of the lighting fixture 200 (S130). For example, the user taps the fixture icon 430, which indicates an unregistered lighting fixture 200.

[0104] Next, the control unit 140 registers the lighting fixture 200 instructed by the user (S140). Specifically, the control unit 140 links the identification information indicating the lighting fixture 200 specified by the user, which was received in step S130, with the user information received in step S110, and stores it in the storage unit 150.

[0105] [Differentiation] Next, we will explain a modified version of the setting image 400 displayed by the operating terminal 100. In Figures 8 to 10, only the parts corresponding to the first map and the second map are shown in a simplified manner.

[0106] <Example 1> Figure 8 shows the setting image 401 related to the modified example 1.

[0107] Setting image 401 includes the first map 411 and the second map 534.

[0108] The first map 411 includes equipment icons 431 and 432 displayed on the display unit 120 in different display modes.

[0109] The second map 534 includes equipment icons 444 and 445 displayed on the display unit 120 in different display modes.

[0110] Fixture icon 431 and fixture icon 444 are fixture icons that represent 200 registered lighting fixtures, and both are displayed as white circles.

[0111] Fixture icon 432 and fixture icon 445 are fixture icons that represent 200 unregistered lighting fixtures, respectively, and are both displayed as black circles.

[0112] Thus, in both the first map 411 and the second map 534, the same fixture icon representing the same lighting fixture 200 may be displayed on the display unit 120 in the same display manner for information such as whether the fixture is registered or not.

[0113] <Modification 2> Figure 9 shows the setting image 402 related to the modified example 2.

[0114] Setting image 402 includes the first map 412 and the second map 535.

[0115] The first map 412 includes equipment icons 431 and 432 displayed on the display unit 120 in different display modes.

[0116] Unlike Map 534, Map 535 does not include the appliance icon 444, but it does include the appliance icon 445.

[0117] Thus, for example, the at least one lighting fixture 200 indicated by the fixture icon 445 displayed on the second map 535 is one of several lighting fixtures 200 installed in a predetermined space, which are either lighting fixtures 200 linked to user information indicating a predetermined user or lighting fixtures 200 not linked to user information. In other words, the control unit 140 may display the second map 535 on the display unit 120 containing only the fixture icon 445 indicating unregistered lighting fixtures 200, among the registered lighting fixtures 200 and unregistered lighting fixtures 200.

[0118] Furthermore, the equipment icons displayed in the first map 412 and the second map 535 may be the same or different.

[0119] Alternatively, the control unit 140 may display on the display unit 120 a first map that includes only the fixture icons 432 representing unregistered lighting fixtures 200, out of the registered lighting fixtures 200 and unregistered lighting fixtures 200.

[0120] <Variation 3> Figure 10 shows a setting image 403 related to the modified example 3.

[0121] Setting image 403 includes the first map 413 and the second map 536.

[0122] The first map 413 includes equipment icons 433 and 434 displayed on the display unit 120 in different display modes.

[0123] The second map 536 includes equipment icons 446 and 447 displayed on the display unit 120 in different display modes.

[0124] Fixture icon 433 and fixture icon 446 are fixture icons that represent the 200 lighting fixtures that are turned off, and both are displayed as white circles.

[0125] Fixture icon 434 and fixture icon 447 are fixture icons that represent the lit lighting fixture 200, respectively, and are both displayed as black circles.

[0126] Thus, for example, in the second map 536, the control unit 140 causes the display unit 120 to display lighting information indicating the lighting mode of at least one lighting fixture 200 shown in the second map 536. Similarly in this example, in the first map 413, the control unit 140 causes the display unit 120 to display lighting information indicating the lighting mode of one or more lighting fixtures 200 shown in the first map 413.

[0127] In this example, lighting information is displayed using the pattern (color) of the fixture icon, but it may also be displayed using text or graphics.

[0128] Furthermore, the information displayed on Map 1 and Map 2 is not limited to the above.

[0129] For example, the control unit 140 causes the communication unit 110 to send a blinking command based on the selection operation received by the reception unit 130. The blinking command is sent, for example, after the selection operation, triggered by the reception of a tap operation on the blinking icon.

[0130] In a flashing command, the identification information of the lighting fixture 200 corresponding to the selected fixture icon 430 is specified. The flashing command is a signal to selectively flash the target lighting fixture 200 that possesses the said identification information from among multiple lighting fixtures 200. When the target lighting fixture 200 receives the flashing command, it flashes.

[0131] The user operating the control terminal 100 can visually confirm the actual installation location of the flashing light fixture 200. In this case, for example, the control unit 140 displays flashing information indicating the flashing light fixture 200 on the display unit 120 in at least one of the first map and the second map.

[0132] Thus, information regarding the lighting fixtures 200 displayed on the display unit 120 may be included in at least one of the first map and the second map.

[0133] Furthermore, for example, the control unit 140 causes the display unit 120 to display status information indicating at least one of the states of a lighting fixture 200, namely a fault state and an error state, in at least one of the first map and the second map.

[0134] Furthermore, for example, the control unit 140 causes the display unit 120 to display type information indicating the type of lighting fixture 200 in at least one of the first map and the second map.

[0135] Furthermore, for example, the control unit 140 causes the display unit 120 to display version information indicating the version of the software used by the lighting fixture 200 in at least one of the first map and the second map.

[0136] Furthermore, for example, the control unit 140 causes the display unit 120 to display channel information indicating the radio frequency channel of BLE, which is the wireless communication standard used by the lighting fixture 200, in at least one of the first map and the second map.

[0137] Furthermore, for example, the control unit 140 displays radio wave information indicating the radio wave strength emitted by the lighting fixture 200 on the display unit 120 in at least one of the first map and the second map. This radio wave strength is, for example, the strength of the radio waves used by the lighting fixture 200 for wireless communication. For example, the control unit 140 measures the radio wave strength of the lighting fixture 200 by communicating with the lighting fixture 200 via the communication unit 110. The operation terminal 100 may be equipped with a sensor for measuring radio wave strength.

[0138] Furthermore, information regarding the lighting fixture 200, such as lighting information, flashing information, status information, type information, version information, channel information, and radio wave information, is displayed on the second map, for example, distinguished by the pattern of the fixture icon, but may also be displayed on the first map.

[0139] Furthermore, information such as lighting information, status information, type information, version information, channel information, and radio wave information may be obtained by communicating with the lighting fixture 200, or may be stored in advance in the storage unit 150, or may be obtained by communicating with an external server that stores this information.

[0140] Furthermore, the display methods for information regarding the lighting fixture 200, such as information indicating registration / unregistration, lighting information, flashing information, status information, type information, version information, channel information, and radio wave information, are not particularly limited. This information may be displayed as icons, or as text or graphics. This information may also be displayed simultaneously.

[0141] Furthermore, a fixture icon indicating a lighting fixture 200 registered by a user other than the user of the operating terminal 100 may or may not be displayed on the first map or the second map as a fixture icon indicating that the lighting fixture 200 has been registered by another user.

[0142] Furthermore, for example, the at least one lighting fixture 200 indicated by the fixture icon displayed on the second map is one of several lighting fixtures 200 installed in a predetermined space, which are among the lighting fixtures 200 that can be operated by the user operating the operation terminal 100 and those that cannot be operated by the user, and which are among the lighting fixtures 200 that can be operated by the user, and which are among the lighting fixtures 200 that cannot be operated by the user, and which are among the lighting fixtures 200 that can be operated by the user operating the operation terminal 100, and which are indicated by the fixture icon on the second map. Information indicating the user's authority is, for example, entered by the user and stored in the storage unit 150.

[0143] Furthermore, the lighting fixtures 200 may be installed on each floor of a multi-story building. In such a case, for example, the control unit 140 displays a second map on the display unit 120 that includes an overall spatial map showing the entire space of one of the multi-story floors. Here, for example, the control unit 140 may switch between displaying a first-story map showing the entire predetermined space and a second-story map showing the entire space of a different floor in the same building as the predetermined space on the display unit 120. Buttons for switching between the display of the first-story map and the second-story map may be included in the setting image.

[0144] [Effects, etc.] The following describes examples of inventions that can be obtained from the disclosures in this specification, and explains the effects that can be obtained from these examples.

[0145] Invention 1 is an operating terminal 100 comprising a display unit 120 and a control unit 140 that causes the display unit 120 to display (i) a partial spatial map showing a portion of a predetermined space and a first map (e.g., first map 410 to 413) including first position information (e.g., fixture icons 430 to 434) indicating the positions of one or more lighting fixtures 200 installed in a portion of a plurality of lighting fixtures 200 installed in the predetermined space and (ii) a whole spatial map showing the entire predetermined space and a second map (e.g., second map 530 to 536) including second position information (e.g., fixture icons 440 to 447) indicating the position of at least one lighting fixture 200 among the plurality of lighting fixtures 200, and having a smaller display area on the display unit 120 than the first map 410.

[0146] With such an operating terminal 100, for example, when registering a lighting fixture 200, the user can easily confirm the detailed location of the lighting fixture 200 by displaying the first map, and can also check the entire designated space at any time without operating the operating terminal 100. Therefore, the operating terminal 100 makes it easy for the user to understand the installation location of the lighting fixture 200.

[0147] Invention 2 is an operation terminal 100 as described in Invention 1, wherein the control unit 140 displays on the display unit 120 registered information indicating at least one lighting fixture 200 that is linked to user information indicating a predetermined user (i.e., a registered lighting fixture 200) and at least one lighting fixture 200 that is not linked to user information (i.e., an unregistered lighting fixture 200), and the registered information and the unregistered information are displayed on the display unit 120 in different display modes.

[0148] For example, as shown in Figure 8, registered lighting fixtures 200 are displayed as white circles, such as fixture icons 431 and 444, while unregistered lighting fixtures 200 are displayed as black circles, such as fixture icons 432 and 445.

[0149] With such an operating terminal 100, the user can easily distinguish between registered and unregistered lighting fixtures 200.

[0150] Invention 3 is an operating terminal 100 as described in Invention 1, wherein at least one lighting fixture 200 is one of a plurality of lighting fixtures 200, one of which is a lighting fixture 200 that is not linked to user information, and one of which is a lighting fixture 200 that is not linked to user information.

[0151] In other words, as shown in Figure 9, only the fixture icon 445, which represents the unregistered lighting fixture 200, is displayed on the second map 535.

[0152] When registering a lighting fixture 200, the user only needs to know which of the multiple lighting fixtures 200 is the unregistered one, and information about the already registered lighting fixtures 200 may not be necessary. Therefore, using such an operating terminal 100 helps to suppress the display of unnecessary information.

[0153] Invention 4 is an operating terminal 100 according to any one of Inventions 1 to 3, wherein the control unit 140 causes the display unit 120 to display lighting information indicating the lighting mode of at least one lighting fixture 200 in the second map.

[0154] With such an operating terminal 100, for example, even if the lighting fixture 200 is not located near the user, the user can easily obtain the lighting information of the lighting fixture 200.

[0155] Invention 5 is an operating terminal 100 according to any one of Inventions 1 to 4, wherein the control unit 140 causes the display unit 120 to display status information indicating at least one of the lighting fixtures 200 in a fault state and an error state in the second map.

[0156] With such an operating terminal 100, the user can easily determine which of the multiple lighting fixtures 200 is experiencing a malfunction, such as a communication error.

[0157] Invention 6 is an operating terminal 100 according to any one of Inventions 1 to 5, wherein the control unit 140 displays on the display unit 120 a second map which includes either a first hierarchical map showing the entire predetermined space or a second hierarchical map showing the entire space of a different floor within the same building as the predetermined space.

[0158] It is assumed that the registration of lighting fixtures 200 will be carried out for lighting fixtures 200 installed on each floor of a multi-story building. In such cases, an operating terminal 100 allows the user to easily understand the installation status of lighting fixtures 200 on floors other than the floor on which the lighting fixtures 200 that the user has registered are installed.

[0159] Invention 7 is an operating terminal 100 according to any one of Inventions 1 to 6, wherein the control unit 140 causes the display unit 120 to display type information indicating the type of at least one lighting fixture 200 in the second map.

[0160] With such an operating terminal 100, the user can easily determine the type of lighting fixture 200.

[0161] Invention 8 is an operating terminal 100 according to any one of Inventions 1 to 7, wherein the control unit 140 causes the display unit 120 to display version information indicating the software version used by at least one lighting fixture 200 in the second map.

[0162] With such an operating terminal 100, the user can easily find out the software version of the lighting fixture 200.

[0163] Invention 9 is an operating terminal 100 according to any one of Inventions 1 to 8, wherein the control unit 140 causes the display unit 120 to display channel information indicating the radio frequency channel of BLE, a wireless communication standard used by at least one lighting fixture 200, in the second map.

[0164] With such an operating terminal 100, the user can easily find out which radio frequency channel the lighting fixture 200 is using.

[0165] Invention 10 is an operating terminal 100 according to any one of Inventions 1 to 9, wherein the control unit 140 causes the display unit 120 to display flashing information indicating that at least one of the lighting fixtures 200 is flashing in the second map.

[0166] For example, a user may flash the lighting fixture 200 to confirm whether the position of the lighting fixture 200 displayed on the display unit 120 matches the actual installation position of the lighting fixture 200. With such an operation terminal 100, when a user flashes the lighting fixture 200, the position of the actual flashing lighting fixture 200 can be compared with the position of the fixture icon or other indicator of the lighting fixture 200 displayed on the display unit 120, making it easier for the user to see.

[0167] Invention 11 is an operating terminal 100 according to any one of Inventions 1 to 10, wherein at least one lighting fixture 200 is one of a plurality of lighting fixtures 200, which are among the lighting fixtures 200 that can be operated by the user operating the operating terminal 100 and the lighting fixtures 200 that cannot be operated by the user, and which are among the lighting fixtures 200 that can be operated by the user.

[0168] For example, a lighting fixture 200 that has already been registered by one user is configured to be inoperable by other users. In such cases, displaying a fixture icon indicating that the lighting fixture 200 is inoperable by the user may be pointless. Therefore, with such an operating terminal 100, the display of unnecessary information is suppressed.

[0169] Invention 12 is an operating terminal 100 according to any one of Inventions 1 to 11, wherein the control unit 140 causes the display unit 120 to display radio wave information indicating the radio wave strength emitted by at least one lighting fixture 200 in the second map.

[0170] As described above, for example, the operating terminal 100 and the multiple lighting fixtures 200 communicate wirelessly with each other. The control unit 140 then displays radio wave information indicating the strength of the radio waves used for this wireless communication on the display unit 120. With such an operating terminal 100, the user can easily determine whether the operating terminal 100 is capable of wireless communication with the multiple lighting fixtures 200.

[0171] Invention 13 is an operating terminal 100 according to any one of Inventions 1 to 12, further comprising a reception unit 130 that receives instructions to specify any one of one or more lighting fixtures 200, and a control unit 140 that associates any one of the lighting fixtures 200 with user information indicating a predetermined user and stores it in a storage unit 150.

[0172] With such an operating terminal 100, a user can use the terminal 100 to associate a desired lighting fixture 200 with user information identifying the user and store it in the storage unit 150. In other words, a user can register a desired lighting fixture 200 using the operating terminal 100.

[0173] Invention 14 is an operating terminal 100 according to any one of Inventions 1 to 13, wherein the control unit 140 causes the display unit 120 to display enlarged position information (for example, a display area 540) indicating the location of a part of space in the second map.

[0174] With such an operating terminal 100, the user can easily determine the location of the first map they are viewing within a given area.

[0175] Invention 15 is a lighting system 300 comprising an operating terminal 100 described in any one of Inventions 1 to 14 and the above-mentioned plurality of lighting fixtures 200.

[0176] Such a lighting system 300 produces the same effect as the operating terminal 100 described above.

[0177] Invention 16 is a program for causing a computer to function as an operating terminal 100 described in any one of Inventions 1 to 14. Such a program is, for example, a program for causing a computer to execute a display control method that causes a display unit 120 to display, for example, (i) a first map including a partial spatial map showing a portion of a predetermined space and first position information indicating the locations of one or more lighting fixtures 200 installed in a portion of a plurality of lighting fixtures 200 installed in the predetermined space, and (ii) a second map including an overall spatial map showing the entire predetermined space and second position information indicating the location of at least one lighting fixture 200 among the plurality of lighting fixtures 200, and having a smaller display area than the first map 410 on the display unit 120.

[0178] Such a program will produce the same effect as the operating terminal 100 described above.
