[0059] In the slave working mode, the processor 1 does not output the RGB signal to the outside, but receives the external RGB signal through the external RGB signal port, and transmits the external RGB signal to the self RGB signal port, so as to drive the RGB lamp bead 3 and realize the synchronization of the light effect.

[0060] Further, the light strip controller 9 further comprises an indicator light 4 electrically connected with the first circuit board, so as to display the on-off state and the working mode of the light strip controller 9.

[0068] When multiple light strip controllers 9 are connected to the light strip hub 10, unified power supply and signal transmission are realized through the second control interface 8. In the light strip control device, one light strip controller 9 is set to the host mode, and the rest are set to the slave mode. The light strip controller 9 in the host mode outputs the RGB signal to the light strip hub 10 through the external RGB signal port of the first control interface 2, and the light strip hub 10 distributes this signal to the light strip controllers 9 in the slave mode through the multiple second control interfaces 8, thereby realizing the synchronization of the light effects of multiple devices. When all the light strip controllers 9 are set to the slave mode, the ARGB interface 6 can access the signal of the external ARGB controller, and the entire system is controlled by the external controller.

[0069] The application also provides a light strip control method, which is applied to the light strip control device and includes the following steps:

[0070] In response to a first operation of a user, a self RGB signal is generated and sent to the self RGB signal port of the light strip controller 9 and the first control interface; or

[0071] The external RGB signal accessed by the first control interface is sent to the self RGB signal port.

[0072] The light strip control device includes multiple working modes, including the independent working mode, the host working mode, and the slave working mode. The method further includes the following steps:

[0073] In response to a second operation of a user, the working mode of the light strip controller 9 is determined.

[0074] According to the determined working mode of the light strip controller 9, the self RGB signal port and the external RGB signal port of the first control interface 2 are in a disconnected state or a connected state,

[0075] When the self RGB signal port and the external RGB signal port of the first control interface 2 are in the connected state, the self RGB signal is sent to the external RGB signal port of the first control interface, or the external RGB signal obtained from the external RGB signal port of the first control interface is transmitted to the self RGB signal port.

[0076] The application also provides a light strip control method, which is applied to the light strip control device and includes the following steps:

[0077] Initialization step: when the light strip controller 9 is powered on for the first time or restarted in the on-off state, the processor 1 first performs self-checking to confirm that all components are functioning properly, and then loads the preset executable program file and working mode configuration from the memory;

[0078] Working mode selection: the processor 1 detects the triggering state of the first button 5 connected thereto, and the user can switch the working mode of the light strip controller 9 by operating the first button 5, for example:

[0079] Independent working mode: the user presses a specific button combination, and the processor 1 calculates the RGB color signal according to the preset program and directly controls the RGB lamp beads 3 connected to the light strip interface to emit light, at this time, the self RGB signal port is disconnected with the external RGB signal port of the first control interface 2;

[0080] Master working mode: the user presses another group of buttons, and the processor 1 controls the signal selector to connect the self RGB signal port with the external RGB signal port, and the processor continues to calculate the RGB signal according to the operation of the first button 5 and simultaneously transmits the signal to the external light strip connected to the first control interface 2 through the external RGB signal port, realizing light synchronization;

[0081] Slave working mode: the user selects the slave mode by operating the first button 5, and the processor 1 controls the signal selector to disconnect the signal output of the self RGB signal port, and sets the external RGB signal port to receive mode to receive external RGB signal and transmit it to the self RGB signal port to drive the RGB lamp beads 3, realizing light synchronization with the external signal.

[0082] The processor 1 controls the indicator light 4 to display the working state of the light strip controller 9. For example, the indicator light is green in independent mode, blue in master mode, and red in slave mode, to intuitively reflect the mode state and power state of the light strip controller 9.

[0083] Connection of the light strip hub 10 with multiple light strip controllers 9:

[0084] The user connects multiple light strip controllers 9 to the second control interface 8 of the light strip hub 10 through USB data lines, and at the same time, the power interface 7 of the light strip hub 10 is connected to a 5V adapter to supply power to the entire system;

[0085] When multiple light strip controllers 9 are connected to the light strip hub 10, the processor 1 detects the hub access state through the control line of the first control interface 2, and after detecting the hub access, the processor 1 determines the working mode according to the button operation.

[0086] Unified light control:

[0087] Unified control in host mode: when one of the lamp strip controllers 9 is set to host mode and the rest are set to slave mode, the host mode lamp strip controller 9 sends RGB signals to the lamp strip hub 10 through the external RGB signal port of the first control interface 2. The lamp strip hub 10 distributes the signals to all slave mode lamp strip controllers 9 through the second control interface 8 and supplies power to the slave mode lamp strip controllers 9, while the host mode lamp strip controller 9 also synchronously controls the light-emitting effect of the RGB lamp beads connected thereto, thereby realizing synchronous control of the light-emitting effect of multiple devices.

[0088] When all the lamp strip controllers 9 are in slave mode and the ARGB interface 6 of the lamp strip hub 10 is connected to the output signal of an external ARGB controller, all the controllers receive and synchronize the external RGB signal, and the light-emitting effect of the entire system is controlled by the external ARGB controller.

[0089] Change of light-emitting effect:

[0090] Independent mode and host mode: the user can change the light-emitting effect in independent mode or host mode through the first button 5, and the processor 1 calculates a new RGB signal according to the operation and applies it to the corresponding RGB lamp beads 3 or external lamp strip.

[0091] Slave mode: the light-emitting effect is controlled by an external RGB signal source, and the lamp strip controller 9 does not directly respond to user button operations in slave mode, but updates the light-emitting effect according to the received external RGB signal.

[0092] Through the ARGB interface 6, the lamp strip control device can access or output ARGB signals, which are compatible with mainstream RGB atmosphere lamp products on the market, thereby enhancing the expansibility of the system and the diversity of application scenarios.

[0093] The processor 1 controls the switching of the signal selector through the IO port, realizes the connection or disconnection of the self RGB signal port and the external RGB signal port, and ensures the accuracy of signal transmission and the flexible switching of modes.

[0094] The memory is used to store program files executed by the processor, the current light-emitting effect state and the working mode, and provides data support for stable operation and mode switching of the controller.

[0095] From the above description, it can be seen that the above-mentioned embodiments of the present application achieve the following technical effects:

[0096] Simplify operation process and improve user experience: Traditional RGB light strip solutions often require complex external interface connections or customized communication protocols to achieve light synchronization between multiple devices. This application uses an intelligent control with a built-in signal selector and processor, allowing users to switch between independent mode, master mode and slave mode with simple key operations, without damaging the original structure of the product or using complex configuration process, thereby significantly improving the operation convenience and user experience;

[0097] Enhance compatibility and scalability: The light strip hub of this application designs an ARGB interface, which can access or output ARGB signals, which means not only compatible with mainstream RGB atmosphere lamp products on the market, but also can realize signal distribution through the hub, support multiple device access, without relying on specific protocols, greatly enhance the scalability and applicability of the system;

[0098] Implement unified control of multiple devices: In master mode, a light strip controller 9 as master device can control the light effect of all connected slave devices, without the need for individual control of each device, simplifying the operation complexity in multiple device scenarios. At the same time, when all light strip controllers 9 are in slave mode, the entire system can be controlled by an external controller connected to the ARGB interface on the light strip hub, thereby realizing more advanced light synchronization and scene setting;

[0099] Improve system stability and reliability: By using the hub for unified power supply and signal distribution, the problem of signal interference and unstable power supply caused by direct connection of multiple devices is avoided, improving the stability and reliability of the entire system. At the same time, the existence of memory ensures the persistence and consistency of working mode and light effect, even after device power-off restart, it can quickly recover to the previous state;

[0100] Cost-effective: As the design of light strip controller 9 and hub reduces the need for external interfaces and simplifies the hardware structure, it is possible to reduce production costs. At the same time, users can use existing RGB light strips without the need to purchase additional compatible protocol-specific light strips, further reducing user costs.
