Description

Smart lighting system, and ID registration and grouping method for the same}

The present invention relates to lighting, and more particularly, to a smart lighting system capable of ID registration and grouping for lighting control, and an ID registration and grouping method of the lighting system.

The LED device is a light emitting diode and is a semiconductor device that emits light when a voltage is applied in the forward direction.

LED devices are mainly compact, have a long lifespan, and consume less power because electric energy is directly converted into light energy, whereas it is known to have excellent efficiency of emitted light, and is thus widely used in lighting devices.

Meanwhile, according to the development of IT devices, the necessity of wireless control for the operation of lighting devices such as on/off by wireless communication devices such as smart phones has emerged, and some are being put into practical use.

However, in the related art, since the configuration of the wireless control for the lighting device is configured separately from the lighting device, there is a problem that the construction cost of the lighting system for controlling the lighting device increases, and the utilization of the wireless control of the lighting device decreases.

As a solution to this problem, as in Patent Document 1, a method of installing a short-range wireless communication module inside a converter constituting a lighting device to enable wireless control of a lighting device has been proposed.

Meanwhile, a number of lighting lamps are installed in the interior of a large building and in a factory, and wireless control is possible by installing a wireless communication module in each lamp.

Needs to be.

Specifically, it is necessary to control the lighting to be turned on only in a certain space in a building, for example, a classroom of a school, a conference room of an office, or an office space.

In addition, since the brightness in the corridor and the window is different in the classroom of the school, it is necessary to control the illumination by different lighting for lighting at the corresponding location.

However, as described above, when controlling the lighting lamp to be turned on only within a certain space or controlling the lighting characteristics (illuminance, color temperature, etc.) for each location in the space, there are the following problems.

First, it is necessary to independently control each of a plurality of lighting lamps. As a plurality of control devices such as a dedicated remote control for independent control of each lighting lamp are required, while increasing the installation cost of the entire lighting system, each control device There is a problem to control the corresponding lighting lamp.

In addition, since each control device must control a corresponding lighting lamp without control interference with adjacent lighting lamps, a control method for a plurality of lighting lamps is complicated, and there is a problem in that lighting control is not smooth due to crosstalk with adjacent lighting lamps.

On the other hand, in the case of controlling the lighting in response to changes in the surrounding situation according to each location, there is a problem of increasing the cost of the lighting device because a sensor for detecting the surrounding change must be installed and controlled in each lighting lamp.
