[0002] A LIGHTING SYSTEM CONTROLLABLE BY A SLIDING BODY

[0003] TECHNICAL FIELD

[0004] The invention relates to a lighting system for enabling the control of a lighting apparatus that comprises a portable body, at least one light source provided to the said body, a processor unit controlling the operation of the said light source, a communication unit enabling data exchange associated with the said processing unit.

[0005] PRIOR ART

[0006] With the advancement of video technology, the development of mobile phone features, and the increase in network transmission speed, video shooting has become common in almost every aspect of daily life. Not only creative ideas but also appropriate equipment play a critical role in the shooting process. In this context, lighting systems that can provide illumination in various colors have become one of the most preferred photography equipment.

[0007] Another equipment that is frequently used in video shooting is the slider mechanisms, which allow dynamic shootings to be taken smoothly and without vibration. In these structures, the camera is fixed to a sliding body moving on a guide, and vibrations can be prevented as the sliding body can follow a specific and regular path on the guide.

[0008] In order to achieve visual effects in shots, it can be desired to change the color of the lights depending on the movement of the camera. In addition to the color change, it is also important to control the parameters of the light, such as brightness, temperature and saturation. Here, difficulties are encountered in ensuring the synchronized operation of two independent elements. Lighting systems in the current technology are incomplete in motion-based operation. This is a significant obstacle to the creation of video content that enriches visual effects.

[0009] As a result, all the above-mentioned problems have made it imperative to make an innovation in the relevant technical field. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0010] The present invention relates to a lighting system in order to eliminate the above- mentioned disadvantages and to provide new advantages to the relevant technical field.

[0011] One object of the invention is to introduce a lighting system with a lighting apparatus that can work synchronously with a sliding body.

[0012] In order to achieve all the objects mentioned above and to be deducted from the detailed description below, the present invention is a lighting system for the control of a lighting apparatus that comprises a portable body, at least one light source provided to the said body, a processor unit controlling the operation of said light source, and a communication unit enabling data exchange associated with said processor unit. Accordingly, its novelty is that it comprises a sliding body that can change position between at least one first position and at least one second position on a guide to ensure that the said light source changes color between the first color and the second color; a memory unit that stores the information of the first color and the second color, corresponding to the first position and the second position of the sliding body; and a control unit for transmitting the said operation signal to the communication unit of the lighting apparatus and for producing an operation signal that allows the sliding body to be illuminated in the first color when it is in the first position and in the second color when it is in the second position. Thus, depending on the movement of the sliding body, the parameters of the light emitted by the light source can be controlled, and the two elements can be operated synchronously.

[0013] A possible embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the sliding body comprises a drive element that provides movement between the first position and the second position. Thus, the movement of the sliding body is made suitable for automatic control.

[0014] Another possible embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the said drive element is connected in such a way that it rotates at least one ball screw around its own direction of extension, and that the sliding body is connected to the ball screw in such a way that it moves in the extension direction of the ball screw by the said rotational movement. This allows the position of the sliding body to be precisely adjusted, while a quiet operation mechanism is achieved.

[0015] Another possible embodiment of the invention is characterized by the provision of a plurality of lighting apparatus.

[0016] Another possible embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the sliding body comprises at least one connecting rod that allows it to be connected with an image capture unit. Thus, images with various effects can be recorded with the lighting system.

[0017] Another possible embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the lighting apparatus comprises a memory that stores light data, which comprises color information and brightness information corresponding to body motion information.

[0018] Another possible embodiment of the invention is characterized in that it comprises a switching element associated with a motion sensor unit provided on the lighting apparatus, which, when triggered, allows the movement of the body to be detected.

[0019] Another possible embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the processor unit is arranged in such a way that the light source is illuminated according to the color information stored in the memory corresponding to the motion information received from the motion sensor unit when it detects that the said switching element has been triggered.

[0020] Another possible embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the processor unit is arranged in such a way that the brightness of the light source is changed according to the brightness information stored in the memory corresponding to the motion information received from the motion sensor unit when it detects that the said switching element has been triggered.

[0024] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0025] In this detailed description, the lighting system (10) of the present invention is described for a better understanding of the subject only with examples that will not create any limiting effect. Fig. 1 shows a representative isometric view of the lighting system (10). The said lighting unit provides illumination of an environment with at least one lighting apparatus (20) having at least one light source.

[0026] The lighting apparatus (20) comprises at least one body (21). The light source (212) is located on the said body (21). The light source (212) can emit at least two different colors of light. However, the light source can emit light with at least two different intensities. However, the light source can emit light with at least two different degrees of saturation and at least two different temperature values. With this structure, the light source allows the illuminated environment to be illuminated with light in the desired color, brightness, saturation and temperature. In the preferred embodiment, the light source (212) can provide illumination in more than two different colors. In the preferred embodiment, the light source (212) is RGB led light. Accordingly, in the preferred embodiment, the lighting apparatus (20) contains at least one diffuser (213). The said diffuser (213) ensures that the light coming out of the light source is distributed homogeneously instead of being transmitted to the environment in a focused manner.

[0027] There is at least one control unit (214) on the body (21 ). The said control unit (214) is the unit that allows the light emitted by the light source to be controlled by the user via the body (21). Here, the color and brightness of the light can be controlled via the control unit (214). However, it is also possible to control the temperature and saturation of the light via the control unit (214). In the preferred embodiment, the lighting apparatus (20) comprises at least one battery. Thanks to the said battery, the lighting apparatus (20) can operate without being directly connected to a power source and is portable. There is at least one charging inlet (215) on the body (21 ) for charging the battery.

[0028] The lighting system (10) comprises at least one sliding body (30). The said sliding body (30) can change position between at least one first position and at least one second position with a sliding motion on at least one guide (32). The sliding body (30) is connected by at least one connecting rod (31 ). The said connecting rod (31 ) allows at least one image capture unit (40) to be connected to the sliding body (30). The said image capture unit (40) can be a camera. The image capture unit (40) can take images from different positions by changing position with the movement of the sliding body (30) on the guide (32). The image capture unit (40) is connected to the connecting rod (31 ) through at least one first support (311 ). The first support (311 ) is located at one end of the connecting rod (31 ), and at the other end of the connecting rod (31 ) there is at least one second support (312). The connecting rod (31) is connected to the guide (32) through the said second support (312). The image capture unit (40) is connected through the first support (311 ) with at least partial freedom of rotation compared to the connecting rod (31 ). Accordingly, in a preferred embodiment, the first support (311) is a tilt module. The connecting rod (31 ) is connected to the guide (32) body (21 ) with at least partial freedom of rotation compared to the guide (32) body (21). Accordingly, in a preferred embodiment, there is a pan module in the second support (312).

[0029] The lighting apparatus (20) comprises at least one processor unit that controls the operation of the light source. However, the lighting apparatus (20) comprises at least one communication unit that enables data exchange associated with the processor unit. The sliding body (30) is configured to control the color change of the light source between at least one first color and at least one second color. Accordingly, there is a first color for the first position of the sliding body (30) and a second color for the second position.

[0030] The sliding body (30) comprises a memory unit that stores the first color and second color information corresponding to the first position and the second position of the sliding body (30). The lighting system (10) comprises at least one control unit. The said control unit enables the production of an operation signal that allows the sliding body (30) to be illuminated in the first color when it is in the first position and in the second color when it is in the second position, and the transmission of the said operation signal to the communication unit of the lighting apparatus (20).

[0031] The sliding body (30) is connected to at least one drive element that provides drive to the sliding body (30) in order to move on the guide (32). The said drive element is connected with at least one ball screw in a preferred embodiment. The said ball screw extends within the guide (32). The sliding body (30), on the other hand, is connected to the ball screw in such a way that it moves back and forth in the extension direction of the ball screw with the rotational movement of the ball screw. Accordingly, the drive element rotates the ball screw, as a result of which the sliding body (30) moves on the guide (32). The ball screw structure ensures that the movement of the sliding body (30) is quiet and that the position of the sliding body (30) can be adjusted with high precision.

[0032] In a possible embodiment, the lighting apparatus (20) comprises at least one motion sensor unit. The said motion sensor unit allows the light source to be controlled depending on the movement of the body (21 ). In order to achieve this, the lighting apparatus (20) comprises a memory that stores light data, which comprises color information and brightness information corresponding to body (21) motion information. The lighting apparatus (20) comprises at least one switching element (211 ). The said switching element (211 ) is associated with the said motion sensor unit. Accordingly, when the switching element (21 1 ) is triggered, it enables the motion sensor unit to detect the movement of the body (21 ). Thanks to this structure, the color of the light source changes when the switching element (211 ) is triggered by the user and the housing (21 ) is rotated in the first direction (I). When the switching element (21 1 ) is triggered and the housing (21 ) is rotated in a second direction (II), the brightness of the light source changes. In the preferred embodiment, when the switching element (211 ) is triggered and the body (21 ) is rotated in a third direction (III), the saturation of the light emitted by the light source changes.

[0033] In the light of all these explanations, the lighting system (10) of the present invention fulfills its function as follows: In the preferred embodiment, there are multiple lighting apparatuses (20) in the lighting system (10). The control unit of the sliding body (30) is associated with the communication units of the lighting apparatus (20). In the memory unit of the sliding body (30), information is available for each position of the sliding body (30) about which color is to be reflected in the light source. With the data received from here, the control unit sends an operation signal to the light source about which color to reflect for each position. Accordingly, in an exemplary application, when the sliding body (30) on which the image capture unit (40) is connected is activated by the drive element, the color in the light source changes depending on the position as the position changes. Thanks to the color control structure of the sliding body (30), it is possible for the light source to reflect the same color for each position, as predetermined each time. Thus, the movements of the image capture unit (40) and the colors of the light source can be controlled synchronously. In addition, the user can control the color, temperature and saturation of each light source thanks to the motion sensor unit. To do this, the user triggers the switching element (211) and rotates the body (21 ) in the first direction (I), in the second direction (II) or in the third direction (III).

[0034] The protection scope of the invention is specified in the appended claims and cannot be limited to what is described in this detailed description for illustrative purposes. It is clear that a person skilled in the art can produce similar embodiments in the light of what is explained above, without deviating from the main theme of the invention.
