Description

Lighting fixtures and their control methods Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of lighting equipment technology, and specifically provides a lighting fixture and its control method. Background Technology

[0002] Table lamps, floor lamps, garden lamps, and other lighting fixtures are generally equipped with control buttons to control the lamp's on / off state, brightness, and other operating statuses.

[0003] To facilitate user control of lighting fixtures, some existing lighting fixtures are also equipped with remote controls, allowing users to control the switching on and off, brightness, and other settings of the lights using the remote control.

[0004] However, since there are often many people in the places where these lights are used, after a user adjusts the working status (such as brightness) of the lights using the remote control, other people (especially children) often touch the operation buttons on the lights, causing the working status of the lights to change. This results in a poor user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0005] One objective of this invention is to solve the problem that the working state of existing lamps can be altered by other people touching the operation keys on the lamps.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, according to a first aspect of the present invention, a method for controlling a lighting fixture is provided, comprising:

[0007] The lighting step involves controlling the lamp to turn on in response to the lamp receiving a lighting command, so that the lamp enters the lighting state;

[0008] The locking step is initiated in response to the lamp receiving a locking command from the remote control, by controlling the lamp to enter a locked state to lock the operation keys of the lamp.

[0009] Optionally, the locking step further includes:

[0010] In response to the lamp receiving the locking command sent by the remote control, the system detects whether the lamp is out of power;

[0011] If the lamp is not without power, control the lamp to enter the locked state.

[0012] Optionally, after the locking step, the control method further includes:

[0013] The remote control unlocking step is as follows: in response to the lamp receiving an unlocking command sent by the remote control, the lamp is controlled to enter the unlocked state to release the lock on the operation keys of the lamp.

[0014] Optionally, the control method further includes:

[0015] The automatic unlocking step involves controlling the lamp to automatically unlock in response to the lamp meeting the unlocking conditions, thereby releasing the lock on the operation key of the lamp.

[0016] Optionally, the unlocking conditions include at least one of the following:

[0017] The lamp is out of power;

[0018] The lamp is in a charging state;

[0019] The lamp receives a command to turn off, or the lamp changes from the lit state to the off state.

[0020] Optionally, the lamp being in a power-off state further includes: the lamp being in a power-off state for a first preset duration.

[0021] Optionally, during or after performing the locking step, the control method further includes:

[0022] The indicator light of the control lamp is kept on for a second preset time and then turned off.

[0023] Optionally, prior to the locking step, the control method further includes a remote control pairing step, which includes:

[0024] When the lamp is in the charging state, in response to the lamp recognizing the pairing command, the lamp is controlled to enter the pairing mode;

[0025] In response to the lamp receiving a preset number of matching commands sent by the remote controller, the lamp is controlled to match with the remote controller.

[0026] Optionally, the matching instruction is that the operation key of the lamp has been continuously pressed for a third preset duration; and / or,

[0027] After the luminaire enters the matching mode, the indicator light of the luminaire continues to flash; and / or,

[0028] After the lamp is successfully paired with the remote control, the lamp is controlled to flash a preset number of times for illumination; and / or,

[0029] The lamps are table lamps, floor lamps, or garden lamps.

[0030] According to a second aspect of the present invention, a lighting fixture is provided, comprising a processor and a memory, wherein the memory stores a computer program, and the processor, when executing the computer program, is capable of implementing the control method described in any one of the first aspects.

[0031] Based on the foregoing description, those skilled in the art will understand that in the aforementioned technical solution of this invention, when the lamp is in the lit state, if the lamp receives a locking command sent by the remote control, it enters a locked state by controlling the lamp to lock the operation keys, thus preventing the lamp from being controlled by the operation keys and changing its working state. Therefore, this invention overcomes the problem that existing lamps are easily affected by other people touching the operation keys, causing the lamp's working state to change.

[0032] Furthermore, when the light fixture receives a lock command from the remote control, it detects whether the light fixture is out of power. If the light fixture is not out of power, it controls the light fixture to enter the lock state, thus preventing the light fixture from being locked when it is out of power, which would prevent other people from turning off the light fixture in time.

[0033] Furthermore, by automatically unlocking the light fixture when the unlocking conditions are met, the lock on the light fixture's operation buttons is released, allowing users to operate the light fixture normally even when the remote control is lost or inconvenient to use. In particular, the light fixture can be automatically unlocked by connecting it to a power source and putting it in a charging state.

[0034] Furthermore, after the light fixture enters pairing mode, it only pairs with the remote control after receiving a preset number of pairing commands, ensuring the safety of the pairing between the light fixture and the remote control. Specifically, by using a preset number of pairing commands as a verification mechanism, unintended pairing caused by accidental operation can be prevented to a certain extent, improving the security and stability of the system. The pairing process is only triggered when the received command sequence completely meets the preset conditions, reducing erroneous pairings caused by external interference.

[0049] Finally, it should be noted that in the description of this invention, each functional module can be a physical module composed of multiple structures, components, or electronic devices, or a virtual module composed of multiple programs; each functional module can be an independent module or a module divided from a whole module according to its function. Those skilled in the art should understand that, provided the technical solution described in this invention can be implemented, any changes in the configuration, implementation, or positional relationship of the functional modules will not deviate from the technical principles of this invention, and therefore should all fall within the protection scope of this invention.

[0050] As shown in Figure 1, in this invention, the lamp 100 has a charging function and is matched with the charging base 200 so as to be charged through the charging base 200 connected to a power source.

[0051] Alternatively, those skilled in the art may, as needed, equip the lamp 100 with a removable battery to replenish power by removing and replacing the battery.

[0052] It should be noted that, in this invention, the lamp 100 can be any feasible lighting device such as a table lamp, floor lamp, or garden lamp. The table lamp-shaped lamp 100 shown in Figure 1 of this invention is merely one specific form of the lamp 100 of this invention.

[0053] Referring again to Figure 1, in this invention, the lamp 100 is adapted to the remote control 300 and can be controlled by the remote control 300 so that the user can adjust the working state of the lamp 100, such as the brightness, through the remote control 300.

[0054] In this invention, the lamp 100 and the remote control 300 can communicate in any feasible way, such as Bluetooth communication, infrared communication, radio frequency communication, Wi-Fi communication, Zigbee or Z-Wave communication, etc.

[0055] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, in this invention, the lamp 100 includes an operation key 110, an indicator light 120, and a lighting lamp 130, so that the lamp 100 can directly receive user control through the operation key 110, display information such as the working status and power of the lamp 100 through the indicator light 120, and provide lighting for the user through the lighting lamp 130.

[0056] It should be noted that the operation keys 110 on the lamp 100 can be one as shown in Figure 1, or any other feasible number, such as two, three, four, five, etc. Furthermore, the operation keys 110 on the lamp 100 can be located on the top of the lamp 100, or on any other feasible location on the lamp 100, such as the side or bottom of the lamp 100.

[0057] In this invention, when the lamp 100 has only one operation key 110, the lamp 100 can be directly controlled by this single operation key 110, including its on / off state and brightness. For example, a short press of the operation key 110 can control the lamp 100 to turn on or off; a long press of the operation key 110 can control the brightness of the lamp 100.

[0058] In this invention, when the lamp 100 has at least two operation keys 110, the lamp 100 can be equipped with an on / off key, a brightness adjustment key, etc.

[0059] In this invention, the operation key 110 of the lamp 100 can be configured as a press-type button, a touch-type touch key, or a virtual button displayed on a touch screen, etc.

[0060] It should be noted that the above-described form of the operation key 110 of the lamp 100 is well known to those skilled in the art and is common knowledge or conventional technical means in the field, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0061] In this invention, the indicator light 120 can be set at any feasible position on the lamp 100, such as near the operation key 110, the bottom of the lamp 100, the side of the lamp 100, etc.

[0062] For example, the lamp 100 is provided with a light-transmitting ring (not shown in the figure), which is located outside the operation key 110, and the indicator light 120 is located inside the light-transmitting ring. When the indicator light 120 is lit, the light emitted by it illuminates the light-transmitting ring.

[0063] In this invention, the location of the lighting lamp 130 can be determined according to the form of the lamp 100. For example, when the lamp 100 is a table lamp as shown in FIG. 1, the lighting lamp 130 can be located inside the lamp head of the table lamp, and the emitted light is projected downwards from the lamp head.

[0064] As shown in Figure 2, in this invention, the lamp 100 also includes a processor 140 and a memory 150. The operation key 110, indicator light 120, lighting lamp 130, and memory 150 can be electrically connected to the processor 140 respectively.

[0065] In this invention, the processor 140 and the memory 150 can be two independent components or different functional modules of the same component.

[0066] The processor 140 is an integrated circuit chip with the ability to process signals. The processor 140 can be a general-purpose processor, such as a Central Processing Unit (CPU), a Network Processor (NP), a Digital Signal Processor (DSP), an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC), a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), or other programmable logic devices, discrete gate or transistor logic devices, discrete hardware components, microprocessors, and any other conventional processor.

[0067] The memory 150 is used to store the computer program 151. The computer program 151 stored in the memory 150 is configured to, when executed by the processor 140, cause the lamp 100 to perform the control method described in any of the following embodiments. Furthermore, the memory 150 may include main memory and non-volatile memory, and provides the computer program 151 and data to the processor 140. Exemplarily, the main memory may be high-speed random-access memory (RAM), and the non-volatile memory may be at least one disk storage device.

[0068] As shown in Figure 3, in this invention, the remote control 300 is equipped with a light-on control key 311, a light-off control key 312, a brightness control key 320, a color temperature control key 330, a pairing control key 340, a lock control key 351, and an unlock control key 352, so that the user can control the working state of the lamp 100 by triggering the corresponding control key on the remote control 300.

[0069] For example, the light fixture 100 can be switched on and off using the light-on control button 311 and the light-off control button 312, the brightness of the light fixture 100 can be adjusted using the brightness control button 320, the color temperature of the light fixture 100 can be controlled using the color temperature control button 330, the pairing control button 340 can be used to pair the remote control 300 with the light fixture 100, the lock control button 351 can be used to lock the light fixture 100, and the unlock control button 352 can be used to unlock the light fixture 100.

[0070] In the remote control 300 shown in Figure 3, the brightness of the lamp 100 can be reduced by operating the brightness control key 320 on the left, and the brightness of the lamp 100 can be increased by operating the brightness control key 320 on the right. The lamp 100 can be adjusted to the corresponding color temperature by operating the corresponding color temperature control key 330.

[0071] It should be noted that the remote control 300 shown in Figure 3 is merely one of many remote controls 300 applicable to the present invention, and is intended to help those skilled in the art understand the technical solution of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can also reduce, add, or modify at least one control key on the remote control 300 shown in Figure 3 as needed. For example, the brightness control key 320 and / or color temperature control key 330 on the remote control 300 can be omitted.

[0072] The control method of the lamp 100 of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the lamp 100, charging base 200 and remote control 300 described above.

[0073] As shown in Figure 4, in some embodiments of the present invention, the control method for the lamp 100 includes:

[0074] In step S110, in response to the lamp 100 receiving the light-on command, the lamp 100 is controlled to light up, so that the lamp 100 enters the lighting state.

[0075] The light-on command can be generated by the user pressing the light-on control key 311 on the remote control 300, which then sends the command (signal) to the lamp 100 indicating that the light is on; or it can be generated by the user pressing the operation key 110 on the lamp 100 itself, which then generates the command (signal) indicating that the light is on.

[0076] In the locking step S120, in response to the lamp 100 receiving the locking command sent by the remote controller 300, the lamp 100 is controlled to enter the locking state to lock the operation key 110 of the lamp 100.

[0077] The lock command is a signal generated by the remote control 300 when the user presses the lock control key 351 on the remote control 300.

[0078] In this invention, once the lamp 100 is locked, no matter how the user operates the operation key 110 on the lamp 100, the lamp 100 will not change. That is, the operating parameters of the lamp 100, such as brightness and color temperature, will not change due to the user's operation of the operation key 110.

[0079] In step S130, the indicator light 120 of the control lamp 100 is kept lit for a second preset time and then turned off.

[0080] Those skilled in the art will understand that by keeping the indicator light 120 illuminated for a second preset duration and then turning it off simultaneously with or after the lamp 100 enters the locked state, the user can intuitively understand that the lamp 100 has entered the locked state. In other words, the lock display step S130 makes the locking process of the lamp 100 visible, improving the user experience.

[0081] To achieve the above objective, the second preset duration can be any feasible duration such as 1 second, 2 seconds, 3.5 seconds, or 5 seconds.

[0082] Furthermore, in the display locking step S130, those skilled in the art can, as needed, make the indicator light 120 remain lit for a second preset duration and then turn off directly, or turn off slowly. When the indicator light 120 turns off slowly, the turning-off process can last for any feasible duration such as 1 second, 2 seconds, or 2.5 seconds.

[0083] Those skilled in the art will understand that the slow extinguishing of the indicator light 120 visually gives the impression that the lamp 100 is reacting slowly, thus giving the visual effect that the lamp 100 has been locked.

[0084] Of course, in other embodiments of the present invention, those skilled in the art may omit the locking display step S130 as needed. However, in this case, the user will not be able to obtain feedback that the lamp 100 has entered the locked state.

[0085] As shown in Figure 5, in some embodiments of the present invention, the locking step S120 may further include:

[0086] Step S121: In response to the lamp 100 receiving a lock command sent by the remote control 300, check whether the lamp 100 is out of power.

[0087] Step S122: If the lamp 100 is not short of power, control the lamp 100 to enter the locked state.

[0088] Step S122: If the lamp 100 is out of power, control the lamp 100 to remain in the unlocked state.

[0089] Those skilled in the art will understand that when the lamp 100 receives a lock command sent by the remote control 300, it detects whether the lamp 100 is out of power and, if the lamp 100 is not out of power, controls the lamp 100 to enter a locked state, thereby preventing the lamp 100 from being locked when it is out of power, which would prevent other personnel from turning off the lamp 100 in time.

[0090] As shown in Figure 6, in some embodiments of the present invention, the control method for the lamp 100 further includes:

[0091] In the unlocking step S210 of the remote control 300, in response to the lamp 100 receiving the unlocking command sent by the remote control 300, the lamp 100 is controlled to enter the unlocked state to release the lock on the operation key 110 of the lamp 100. This unlocking command is a signal generated by the remote control 300 when the user presses the unlocking control key 352 on the remote control 300.

[0092] Alternatively, the control method may further include an automatic unlocking step S220, which, in response to the luminaire 100 meeting the unlocking conditions, controls the luminaire 100 to automatically unlock, thereby releasing the lock on the operation key 110 of the luminaire 100, so that the user can directly control the working state of the luminaire 100 by operating the operation key 110 on the luminaire 100.

[0093] It is understandable that either the remote control 300 unlocking step S210 or the automatic unlocking step S220 can be performed.

[0094] In the unlocking display step S230, the indicator light 120 of the lamp 100 is controlled to flash m times to indicate to the user that the lamp 100 has been successfully unlocked. Here, m can be any feasible value such as 1, 2, 3, or 5.

[0095] Those skilled in the art will understand that the remote control 300 unlocking step S210 enables the user to remotely unlock the lamp 100 via the remote control 300, thus optimizing the user experience.

[0096] Those skilled in the art will also understand that by automatically unlocking the lamp 100 when the unlocking conditions are met, thereby releasing the lock on the operation key 110 of the lamp 100, the user can still operate the lamp 100 normally even when the remote control 300 is lost or inconvenient to use. In particular, this can be achieved by connecting the lamp 100 to a power source and putting it in a charging state, thus automatically unlocking it.

[0097] Furthermore, the unlocking conditions in the automatic unlocking step S220 include at least one of the following: "the lamp 100 is in a power-off state", "the lamp 100 is in a charging state", and "the lamp 100 has received a power-off command, or the lamp 100 has changed from a lit state to a powered-off state".

[0098] The phrase "the lamp 100 is in a power-off state" further includes: the lamp 100 is in a power-off state for a first preset duration.

[0099] Those skilled in the art will understand that the lighting fixture 100 is determined to meet the unlocking conditions for automatic unlocking only when the lighting fixture 100 is in a power-off state for a first preset duration, effectively avoiding the situation where the lighting fixture 100 occasionally detects a power-off state and makes a false judgment.

[0100] To achieve the above objectives, the first preset duration can be any feasible duration, such as 1.5 seconds, 2 seconds, 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 30 seconds, etc.

[0101] As shown in Figure 7, in some embodiments of the present invention, the control method of the lamp 100 further includes a matching remote controller 300 step, specifically including:

[0102] In step S310, when the lamp 100 is in the charging state, in response to the lamp 100 recognizing the pairing command, the lamp 100 is controlled to enter the pairing mode to wait for pairing with the remote control 300.

[0103] The matching instruction is that the operation key 110 of the lamp 100 is pressed continuously for a third preset duration. The third preset duration can be any feasible duration, such as 2 seconds, 3 seconds, 4 seconds, 5 seconds, etc.

[0104] In step S320, in response to the lamp 100 receiving a preset number of matching commands sent by the remote controller 300, the lamp 100 is controlled to match with the remote controller 300.

[0105] Those skilled in the art will understand that after the lamp 100 enters the pairing mode, by requiring it to receive a preset number of pairing commands from the remote control 300 before pairing with it, the pairing security between the lamp 100 and the remote control 300 is ensured. Specifically, by using a preset number of pairing commands as a verification mechanism, unintended pairing caused by misoperation can be prevented to a certain extent, improving the security and stability of the system. The pairing process is only triggered when the received command sequence completely meets the preset conditions, reducing erroneous pairing caused by external interference.

[0106] To achieve the above objectives, the preset quantity can be any feasible quantity such as 15, 20, 45, 80, or 92.

[0107] Furthermore, step S320 further includes:

[0108] Step S321: In response to the lamp 100 receiving a preset number of matching commands sent by the remote controller 300, determine the reception duration or reception frequency of the lamp 100 receiving the preset number of matching commands.

[0109] The receiving time is the time elapsed from when the lamp 100 receives the first matching command to when the lamp 100 receives the preset number of matching commands.

[0110] The receiving frequency is the time interval between two adjacent matching commands among the preset number of matching commands received by the lamp 100.

[0111] Step S322: If the reception duration or reception frequency meets the matching conditions, control the lamp 100 to match the remote control 300.

[0112] Specifically, if the reception duration is any value in [a, b], it means that the reception duration meets the matching condition, and at this time the control lamp 100 and the remote control 300 are matched.

[0113] Where a and b are both positive numbers in seconds, and a < b. For example, [a,b] can be [3,5], [2,4], [3.5,4.5], [4,6], [3,7], etc.

[0114] For example, if the reception duration in step S321 is 4 seconds and [a,b] is [3,5], then the reception duration is included in [a,b], and at this time the control lamp 100 is matched with the remote control 300.

[0115] Alternatively, if the receiving frequency is equal to the preset frequency, then control the lamp 100 to match the remote control 300.

[0116] The preset frequency can be any feasible value such as 0.025 / second, 0.03 / second, 0.05 / second, 0.06 / second, or 0.08 / second.

[0117] Those skilled in the art will understand that when the lamp 100 receives a preset number of matching commands sent by the remote controller 300, by determining the reception duration or frequency of the preset number of matching commands received by the lamp 100, and when the reception duration or frequency meets the matching conditions, the lamp 100 is then controlled to match with the remote controller 300. This further verifies the matching between the lamp 100 and the remote controller 300, further prevents unintended pairing caused by misoperation, and improves the security and stability of the system.

[0118] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, after the lamp 100 enters the pairing mode, the indicator light 120 of the lamp 100 can be controlled to flash continuously until it is successfully paired with the remote control 300 or the set time is reached (e.g., 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 20 seconds, 30 seconds or any feasible duration) to remind the user that the lamp 100 has entered the pairing mode.

[0119] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, after the lamp 100 and the remote control 300 are successfully paired, the lighting lamp 130 used for illumination by the lamp 100 is controlled to flash a preset number of times to remind the user that the lamp 100 and the remote control 300 have been successfully paired. The preset number of times can be any feasible number such as 2 times, 3 times, 4 times, 6 times, etc.

[0120] Based on the foregoing description, those skilled in the art will understand that the present invention can lock the operation keys 110 of the lamp 100 via the remote control 300, preventing the lamp 100 from being controlled by the operation keys 110 and changing its working state. This overcomes the problem that existing lamps 100 are easily affected by other personnel touching the operation keys 110, causing changes in the working state of the lamp 100. Simultaneously, it also ensures the safety of the lamp 100 during use and its stability during operation.

[0121] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments of the present invention are only some embodiments of the present invention.
