Detailed Description
The following description is made with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of an illumination system according to the present invention. In this embodiment, the lighting system includes a mobile terminal 110, at least one electronic ballast 120, a network bridge 130, and light sources 140 electrically connected to the electronic ballasts 120 in a one-to-one correspondence. The electronic ballast 120 is configured to provide power to the light source 140 connected thereto, so as to drive the light source 140 to realize illumination. The network bridge 130 is used to connect the mobile terminal 110 and the at least one electronic ballast 120, respectively, to form an information-interactive local area network, wherein the mobile terminal 110 and the at least one electronic ballast 120 are able to communicate via the network bridge 130.
In this embodiment, the bridge 130 is a wireless bridge 130, has a wired connection function, is provided with a wireless connection module based on IEEE802.11 standard, and can provide network service functions such as UDP client, TCP connection server, ADHOST, and the like. The wireless network bridge 130 is connected to the electronic ballast 120 by a wire and is wirelessly connected to the mobile terminal 110, and the wireless network bridge 130 connects the electronic ballast 120 of the wire network to the mobile terminal 110 of the wireless network. Wherein, the wireless network bridge 130 realizes wired connection with 64 electronic ballasts 120 and wireless connection with 4 mobile terminals 110 at most. Of course, the maximum number of connections between the electronic ballast 120 and the mobile terminal 110 depends on the characteristics of the network bridge 130, so when different network bridges or other relay devices are selected to connect the electronic ballast and the mobile terminal, the maximum number of connections between the electronic ballast and the mobile terminal is also different, and therefore, the maximum number of connections between the electronic ballast and the mobile terminal is not limited herein.
Specifically, the mobile terminal 110 is provided with an interface for entering the lan, and when the mobile terminal 110 sends a preset password input by a user to the network bridge 130, the mobile terminal 110 enters the lan through the network bridge 130 to establish a connection with the electronic ballast 120.
After the mobile terminal 110 enters the lan, the network bridge 130 periodically obtains the IP address of the electronic ballast 120 currently connected to the network bridge 130, and sends the IP address to the mobile terminal 110 in the form of a heartbeat packet. After receiving the heartbeat packet, the mobile terminal 110 determines the electronic ballast 120 currently establishing connection according to the IP address in the heartbeat packet. Wherein the IP address of the electronic ballast is assigned to the electronic ballast 120 as the network identifier of the electronic ballast 120 when the network bridge 130 establishes the connection with the electronic ballast 120. When the mobile terminal 110 acquires the IP address in the heartbeat packet, the electronic ballast 120 corresponding to the IP address is displayed on a human-computer interface, so that a user can directly know the electronic ballast 120 currently connected with the mobile terminal 110, and perform remote operation on the electronic ballast 120.
The mobile terminal 110 is provided with an interface for a user to input an instruction, for example, a short press or a long press is performed on an identifier of the electronic ballast 120 that establishes a connection displayed on a human-computer interface to input a preset instruction, or a preset instruction is input through voice, and any other method that can input an instruction is implemented, and when the mobile terminal obtains the instruction input by the user through the interface, the type of the instruction is determined.
When the instruction input by the user is determined to be a query instruction, the mobile terminal 110 sends the query instruction to the electronic ballast 120 to be queried through the local area network. Specifically, the mobile terminal packages the query command and the IP address of the electronic ballast 120 to be queried into a data packet and sends the data packet to the network bridge 130.
The network bridge 130 parses the query packet sent by the mobile terminal 110 to obtain the IP address of the electronic ballast 120 to be queried, and sends the query packet to the electronic ballast 120 with the IP address.
The electronic ballast 120 to be queried receives the query packet to obtain a query instruction, and obtains current state information according to the query instruction, for example, a lamp state (i.e., a switch state of the light source 140 that is currently electrically connected), an input power, an input current, a power output to the light source 140, an internal temperature, a lighting time (i.e., a time duration for currently driving the light source 140 to achieve illumination), a programming mode (i.e., a time ratio for turning on and off the light source 140 every day), a countdown (a time remaining until the current state of the light source 140 is ended), version information of the electronic ballast, and the like.
The to-be-queried electronic ballast 120 packages the queried current state information and feeds the packaged current state information back to the mobile terminal 110 through the network bridge 130. When receiving the current state information fed back by the electronic ballast 120 to be queried, the mobile terminal 110 displays the current state information through a human-computer interface, so that a user can remotely know the current working state of the electronic ballast to be queried.
When the instruction input by the user is judged to be a control instruction, the mobile terminal 110 sends the control instruction to the electronic ballast 120 to be controlled through the local area network. Specifically, the mobile terminal 110 packages the control command and the IP address of the electronic ballast 120 to be controlled into a data packet and sends the data packet to the network bridge 130.
The network bridge 130 parses the control data packet sent by the mobile terminal 110 to obtain the IP address of the electronic ballast 120 to be queried, and sends the control data packet to the electronic ballast 120 with the IP address.
The electronic ballast 120 to be controlled receives the control data packet sent by the network bridge 130, and correspondingly adjusts its own working state according to the control instruction in the data packet. For example, if the to-be-controlled electronic ballast 120 analyzes that the control instruction is the preset shutdown time of 10 minutes, the to-be-controlled electronic ballast 120 automatically shuts down after 10 minutes, so as to implement remote control of the electronic ballast 120 by the user.
It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the network bridge may also directly send the data packet to all electronic ballasts connected to the network bridge without parsing the data packet sent by the mobile terminal, and after receiving the data packet, the electronic ballasts first determine whether the IP address in the data packet includes the IP address of the electronic ballast, if so, obtain the instruction in the data packet to perform corresponding operation, and if not, do not perform any operation.
In addition, the mobile terminal and the electronic ballast can also add a correction code in the data packet, and when the mobile terminal or the electronic ballast receives the data packet, the mobile terminal continuously corrects the instruction of the data packet according to the correction code so as to improve the reliability of the communication between the mobile terminal and the electronic ballast.
Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of another embodiment of an illumination system according to the present invention. In another embodiment of a larger-scale lighting system, the lighting system may further include a router 250 and a plurality of bridges 230, where the lighting system realizes connection between the plurality of bridges 230 through the router 250, and further realizes that the mobile terminal 210 establishes connection with the electronic ballasts 220 under the plurality of bridges 230, so as to enlarge a local area network formed by the lighting system, and enable the mobile terminal 210 to remotely operate more electronic ballasts 220. In this embodiment, router 250 is a wireless router and bridge 230 is a wireless bridge. In other application embodiments, the router and the network bridge may be in a wired connection mode, and the mobile terminal may be connected to the electronic ballast in a wired mode.
It should be noted that the lighting system of the present invention is not limited to using a network bridge to connect the mobile terminal and the electronic ballast, and in other embodiments, other relay devices may be used to relay between the mobile terminal and the electronic ballast. In addition, although the electronic ballast is connected by wire in the above embodiment, in other embodiments, the electronic ballast may be connected wirelessly, for example, the electronic ballast and the mobile terminal are directly connected wirelessly through the same wireless lan, and therefore, the connection between the mobile terminal and the electronic ballast is not limited in particular.
Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a flow chart of an embodiment of a method for remotely operating an electronic ballast according to the present invention. In this embodiment, the method for remotely operating an electronic ballast includes the steps of:
step S301: the mobile terminal establishes a connection with at least one electronic ballast.
And the mobile terminal and the local area network formed by the at least one electronic ballast establish connection with the at least one electronic ballast through the local area network and acquire the IP address of the electronic ballast establishing connection. For example, the mobile terminal forms a local area network with the at least one electronic ballast via a network bridge, which can communicate with each other. The mobile terminal is provided with an interface for entering the local area network, and when the mobile terminal sends a preset password input by a user to the network bridge, the mobile terminal is connected with the electronic ballast through the network bridge. Or the mobile terminal and the at least one electronic ballast enter the same wireless local area network, so that the mobile terminal is directly connected with the at least one electronic ballast through the wireless local area network.
Step S302: and the mobile terminal receives the instruction input by the user and judges the type of the instruction.
The mobile terminal is provided with an interface for inputting instructions by a user, for example, the mobile terminal inputs preset instructions by short pressing or long pressing an identifier of an electronic ballast for establishing connection displayed on a human-computer interface, or inputs the preset instructions through voice and other any input-capable modes, and when the mobile terminal obtains the instructions input by the user through the interface, the type of the instructions is judged. If the instruction input by the user is judged to be the query instruction, step S303 is executed, and if the instruction input by the user is judged to be the control instruction, step S304 is executed.
Step S303: and the mobile terminal sends the query instruction to the electronic ballast to be queried, and when the electronic ballast to be queried returns the current state information according to the query instruction, the returned current state information is displayed.
When the mobile terminal is connected with the electronic ballast, the mobile terminal acquires the IP address of the electronic ballast for establishing the connection. And the mobile terminal acquires the IP address of the electronic ballast to be inquired, packages the inquiry command and the acquired IP address into a data packet and sends the data packet to the electronic ballast to be inquired through the local area network.
The electronic ballast to be queried receives the query data packet to obtain a query instruction, and obtains current state information, such as lamp state, input power, input current, power output to a light source, internal temperature, lighting time, programming mode, countdown, version information of the electronic ballast, and the like, according to the query instruction. Of course, the electronic ballast is not necessarily limited to only feeding back all the current state information to the mobile terminal, and in other embodiments, the mobile terminal is further provided with an inquiry information setting interface through which a user can freely set information for inquiring the electronic ballast.
And the electronic ballast to be inquired packs the inquired current state information and feeds the information back to the mobile terminal through the local area network. And when receiving the current state information fed back by the electronic ballast to be inquired, the mobile terminal displays the current state information through a human-computer interface so that a user can remotely know the current working state of the electronic ballast to be inquired.
Step S304: and the mobile terminal sends the control instruction to the electronic ballast to be controlled so that the electronic ballast to be controlled controls the current working state according to the control instruction.
When the mobile terminal is connected with the electronic ballast, the mobile terminal acquires the IP address of the electronic ballast for establishing the connection. And the mobile terminal packs the control command and the IP address of the electronic ballast to be controlled into a data packet and sends the data packet to the electronic ballast to be controlled through the local area network.
The electronic ballast to be controlled receives the control data packet sent by the network mobile terminal, and correspondingly adjusts the working state of the electronic ballast according to the control instruction in the data packet, so as to realize the remote control of the electronic ballast by a user.
Referring to fig. 4 to 6, fig. 4 is a flowchart illustrating another embodiment of a method for remotely operating an electronic ballast according to the present invention, fig. 5 is a schematic diagram illustrating a first display interface of a mobile terminal in the method illustrated in fig. 4, and fig. 6 is a schematic diagram illustrating a second display interface of the mobile terminal in the method illustrated in fig. 4. In this embodiment, the method comprises the steps of:
step S401: the mobile terminal establishes a connection with the at least one electronic ballast via the at least one network bridge.
The mobile terminal forms a local area network with the at least one electronic ballast via the network bridge, wherein the local area network can communicate with each other. The mobile terminal is provided with an interface for entering the local area network, and when the mobile terminal sends a preset password input by a user to the network bridge, the mobile terminal is connected with the electronic ballast through the network bridge. In this embodiment, the network bridge is connected to the electronic ballast in a wired manner and is wirelessly connected to the mobile terminal, and the network bridge connects the electronic ballast of the wired network to the mobile terminal of the wireless network. Of course, in other embodiments, the electronic ballast may be configured to be wirelessly connected, or the mobile terminal may be configured to be wired.
In another embodiment that the mobile terminal needs to remotely operate more electronic ballasts, a local area network formed by the mobile terminal and the electronic ballasts comprises a router and a plurality of bridges, the mobile terminal can be connected with the bridges through the router, so that the mobile terminal is connected with the electronic ballasts under the bridges, the formed local area network is enlarged, and the mobile terminal can remotely operate more electronic ballasts.
In addition, the mobile terminal and the electronic ballast are not limited to be connected through a network bridge, and in other embodiments, other relay devices may be used as relays between the mobile terminal and the electronic ballast.
The manner in which the mobile terminal establishes a connection with the electronic ballast is not particularly limited.
Step S402: after the connection with the at least one electronic ballast is established, the mobile terminal receives the heartbeat packet sent by the at least one network bridge at regular time so as to acquire the current electronic ballast connected with the at least one network bridge.
After the mobile terminal is connected with the at least one electronic ballast, the network bridge acquires the IP address of the electronic ballast which is connected with the network bridge at preset time intervals and sends the IP address to the mobile terminal in a heartbeat packet mode. And after receiving the heartbeat packet, the mobile terminal determines the electronic ballast which is currently connected according to the IP address in the heartbeat packet. And when the network bridge establishes connection with the electronic ballast, the IP address of the electronic ballast is assigned to the electronic ballast as the network identification of the electronic ballast. The mobile terminal is preset with the mapping relation between the name or the bar code of the electronic ballast and the IP address, when the IP address in the heartbeat packet is obtained, the corresponding name or the bar code of the electronic ballast is correspondingly found out according to the mapping relation, and the name or the bar code of the electronic ballast currently in the local area network is displayed on a human-computer interface, so that a user can directly know the electronic ballast currently connected with the mobile terminal and remotely operate the electronic ballast.
Of course, in other embodiments, the mobile terminal may also directly display the IP address of the electronic ballast in the currently received heartbeat packet to represent the connected electronic ballast without presetting the mapping relationship. Therefore, the mobile terminal is not limited to the identifier representing the electronic ballast currently connected, and any identifier that can distinguish different electronic ballasts can be used as the identifier of the electronic ballast on the mobile terminal.
In addition, in other embodiments, the network bridge may also be configured to send the heartbeat packet at an irregular time, the mobile terminal needs to obtain a message for inquiring the current connection condition sent to the network bridge when the current connection-establishing electronic ballast condition is needed, and the network bridge sends the IP address of the current connection-establishing electronic ballast to the mobile terminal when receiving the inquiry message.
Step S403: and the mobile terminal receives the instruction input by the user and judges the type of the instruction.
The mobile terminal is provided with an interface for inputting instructions by a user. And when the mobile terminal acquires the instruction input by the user through the interface, judging the type of the instruction. If the instruction input by the user is judged to be the query instruction, step S404 is executed, and if the instruction input by the user is judged to be the control instruction, step S405 is executed.
Step S404: and the mobile terminal sends the query instruction to the electronic ballast to be queried, and when the electronic ballast to be queried returns the current state information according to the query instruction, the returned current state information is displayed.
And when the instruction input by the user is judged to be a query instruction, the mobile terminal sends the query instruction to the electronic ballast to be queried through the local area network. Specifically, the mobile terminal packs the query instruction and the IP address of the electronic ballast to be queried into a data packet and sends the data packet to the network bridge. For example, when the mobile terminal acquires an inquiry instruction generated by a user pressing an electronic ballast identifier or scanning a bar code of an electronic ballast, the mobile terminal determines the electronic ballast as the electronic ballast to be inquired, acquires an IP address of the electronic ballast to be inquired, and packages and sends the inquiry instruction and the IP address to the network bridge. Or, the mobile terminal can also obtain the query instruction of the user through the voice input module, obtain one or more electronic ballasts appointed by the user to be queried as the electronic ballasts to be queried through voice recognition, and package and send the IP addresses of the one or more electronic ballasts to be queried and the query instruction to the network bridge.
The network bridge analyzes the query data packet sent by the mobile terminal to obtain the IP address of the electronic ballast to be queried, and sends the query data packet to the electronic ballast with the IP address.
And the electronic ballast to be inquired receives the inquiry data packet to obtain an inquiry instruction, and acquires the current state information according to the inquiry instruction. Of course, in other embodiments, the mobile terminal is further provided with an inquiry information setting interface, and a user can freely set the information for inquiring the electronic ballast through the interface.
The electronic ballast to be inquired packs the inquired current state information and feeds the current state information back to the mobile terminal through the network bridge. When receiving the current state information fed back by the electronic ballast to be queried, the mobile terminal displays the current state information through a human-computer interface (as shown in fig. 4), so that a user can remotely know the current working state of the electronic ballast to be queried.
Step S405: and the mobile terminal judges the type of the control instruction so as to determine the electronic ballast to be controlled.
The mobile terminal is provided with interfaces with different control types, and the types of control instructions input by a user through the different interfaces are different. The mobile terminal obtains control instructions input by a user through different interfaces, and determines electronic ballasts to be controlled according to the types of the control instructions, for example, if the mobile terminal judges that the control instructions are of a first control type, all electronic ballasts connected with the mobile terminal are determined to be electronic ballasts to be controlled, if the control instructions are judged to be of a second control type, the electronic ballasts connected with a network bridge selected by the user are determined to be the electronic ballasts to be controlled, if the control instructions are judged to be of a third control type, the electronic ballasts selected by the user are determined to be the electronic ballasts to be controlled, and if the control instructions are judged to be of a fourth control type, the electronic ballasts matched with barcodes input by the user are determined to be the electronic ballasts to be controlled.
Step S406: and the mobile terminal sends the control instruction to the electronic ballast to be controlled so that the electronic ballast to be controlled controls the current working state according to the control instruction.
Further, the interfaces of different control types set by the mobile terminal each include setting of specific states of the electronic ballast (as shown in fig. 5) to realize specific setting of the electronic ballast by the user. And the mobile terminal acquires the state setting information input by the user through the interface to form a control instruction comprising the state setting information so as to indicate the electronic ballast to be controlled to correspondingly set the state. The state setting information includes setting information of at least one of output power, on-off state, preset on-time, preset off-time and working mode of the electronic ballast to be controlled.
The mobile terminal packs the control command including the state setting information and the IP address of the electronic ballast to be controlled into a data packet and sends the data packet to the network bridge.
