(embodiment mode)

[ Structure of illumination System ]

First, the configuration of the illumination system 100 according to the present embodiment will be described. Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a situation of an illumination system 100 according to the present embodiment. Fig. 2 is a diagram of a situation of communication between devices included in the lighting system 100.

As shown in fig. 1, the lighting system 100 includes a plurality of lighting fixtures 102 arranged in a lighting area 101, a controller 103, and a terminal apparatus 104.

The lighting area 101 is a space in which a plurality of lighting fixtures 102 are arranged, and is, for example, a shop or the like. The lighting fixture 102 is a lighting fixture disposed on a ceiling or the like, and is a combination of a base fixture and a lamp, a down lamp (downlight), a universal down lamp (universal downlight), a spot lamp (spotlight), or the like. In addition, the plurality of lighting fixtures 102 need not be of the same category, and may be combined.

For example, the lighting fixture 102 includes a light source having a plurality of LEDs (light-emitting diodes) or organic EL (electro luminescence) elements having different emission colors, and the brightness and color temperature of the emitted light are made variable by control described later.

The controller 103 controls turning on and off, dimming, and toning of the plurality of lighting fixtures 102. Further, the connection of the controller 103 to the plurality of lighting fixtures 102 may be a wired connection. As shown in fig. 2, the wireless connection may be performed via the wireless adapter 106, or a mixture of wired connection and wireless connection may be performed. In the example shown in fig. 2, the controller 103 is connected to the wireless adapter 106 by wire, and the wireless adapter 106 is connected to the plurality of lighting fixtures 102, the switch 107, and the sensor 108 by wireless.

The switch 107 is, for example, a switch provided on a wall or the like, and is operated to control turning on and off, dimming, and color mixing of the lighting fixture 102. The sensor 108 is a human sensor or the like, and the sensor 108 transmits a sensor result to the controller 103. The controller 103 controls turning on and off, dimming, toning, and the like of the plurality of lighting fixtures 102 according to the sensor result.

The wireless communication method between the wireless adapter 106 and the plurality of lighting fixtures 102, the switch 107, and the sensor 108 is not particularly limited, and, for example, a wireless signal in the 900MHz band can be used.

The plurality of lighting fixtures 102 have infrared receivers and receive infrared signals transmitted from the terminal device 104.

The terminal device 104 is a tablet terminal, a smart phone, a personal computer, or the like, and is carried by the worker 105, for example. The terminal device 104 is an operation terminal for setting the lighting system 100 to implement the function of the user interface of the lighting system 100.

The terminal device 104 can communicate with the controller 103. For example, the terminal device 104 performs wireless communication with the controller 103 using Wi-Fi (registered trademark).

The above-described communication method between the controller 103 and each device is an example, and any wired or wireless communication method may be used. For example, a wired LAN (Local Area Network) conforming to the standard of ethernet (registered trademark) can be used as the wired communication, and Wi-Fi (registered trademark), Bluetooth (registered trademark), ZigBee (registered trademark), infrared communication, or the like can be used as the wireless communication. Further, wired communication and wireless communication may be mixed.

In fig. 2, the controller 103 and the wireless adapter 106 are described as separate devices, but the controller 103 may have the function of the wireless adapter 106.

The configuration shown in fig. 2 is an example, and the illumination system 100 does not need to have all the configurations shown in fig. 2. For example, the lighting system 100 may not include at least one of the switch 107 and the sensor 108.

[ outline of Lighting setting operation ]

Next, the illumination setting operation according to the present embodiment will be described. Fig. 3 is a diagram illustrating a flow of the illumination setting operation according to the present embodiment. The lighting setting operation substantially includes three steps.

First, an illumination designer or the like performs an illumination design in advance using an illumination design application (S101). Specifically, the arrangement and the lighting plan (dimming, color mixing, etc.) of the lighting fixture 102 are created (S111), and pattern data indicating the arrangement and the lighting plan of the lighting fixture 102 is created (S112).

Next, the electrical engineer or the like performs initial setting of the lighting fixture 102 using the setting application (S102). That is, as shown in fig. 1, an operator 105 as an electrical engineer performs initial setting of a plurality of lighting fixtures 102 using a terminal device 104 in a lighting area 101 (store or the like) in which the plurality of lighting fixtures 102 are set.

Specifically, the pattern data created in step S112 is downloaded to the terminal device 104 (S121). Next, the terminal device 104 is used to set logical addresses of the lighting fixtures 102 (S122), pair the lighting fixtures 102 and the controller 103 (S123), and set scenes (S124) in this order, and the setting results are stored (S125).

Finally, the shop owner, office staff, or the like performs fine adjustment or the like using the operation application (S103). Specifically, fine adjustment such as scene setting (setting of light and color adjustment) is performed on the setting contents stored in step S125 (S131), and the adjusted setting is stored (S132).

[ Structure of terminal device ]

Next, the configuration of the terminal device 104 will be described. Fig. 4 is a block diagram of the terminal apparatus 104. As shown in fig. 4, the terminal device 104 includes a communication unit 151, an infrared communication unit 152, and a control unit 153.

The communication unit 151 communicates with the controller 103 by, for example, wireless communication. The infrared communication unit 152 performs infrared communication. Specifically, the infrared communication unit 152 transmits an infrared signal to the lighting fixture 102.

The control unit 153 controls the communication unit 151 and the infrared communication unit 152 to perform various setting operations. For example, the function of the control unit 153 is realized by executing a program stored in a memory by a processor such as a CPU. The control unit 153 may be formed of a dedicated circuit, or may be a combination of these circuits.

The control unit 153 includes an acquisition unit 155, an assignment unit 156, an address setting unit 157, a pairing unit 158, and a setting unit 159.

The terminal device 104 includes a display unit such as a display for displaying an image and an input unit (not shown) such as a touch panel for receiving an operation by a user.

The above-described functions may be implemented in a single device or in a plurality of devices. For example, an external infrared module or a dedicated infrared terminal may be used as the infrared communication unit 152.

[ download processing of Pattern data ]

Next, the setting operation performed by the operator 105 using the terminal device 104 (S102 in fig. 3) will be described in detail. At this time, as shown in fig. 1, the following states are assumed: although a plurality of lighting fixtures 102 are provided in the lighting area 101, the initial setting is not performed.

First, the operator 105 starts a setting application installed in the terminal device 104. For example, as shown in fig. 5, the operator 105 logs in by inputting a user name and a password.

Next, the pattern data is downloaded (S121 in fig. 3). Fig. 6 is a flowchart of the download process (S121) of the pattern data.

First, the acquisition unit 155 of the terminal device 104 acquires the pattern data created in advance in step S112 from an external server or the like via a network (S141). For example, as shown in fig. 7, the worker 105 starts downloading the drawing data by inputting a file name, a file address, or the like in the input field 122 and selecting the file selection key 123. Further, the user name is associated with the pattern data in advance, and the download of the corresponding pattern data may be started by inputting the user name, or may be automatically started using the user name used at the time of login.

The method of acquiring the pattern data is not limited to downloading, and the pattern data may be stored in the terminal device 104 in advance, or may be acquired by a recording medium or the like that is detachable from the terminal device 104.

Further, as shown in fig. 7, the passing information 121 is displayed, and the passing information 121 indicates which process is currently performed and which process is completed in all the processes.

Fig. 8 is an example of a screen after pattern data is acquired, and is a diagram showing an example of display of pattern data 125. After acquiring pattern data 125, pattern data 125 is displayed. The pattern data 125 is image data indicating a case where the plurality of lighting fixtures 102 are arranged in the illumination area 101. For example, as shown in fig. 8, symbols 126 (icons) of a plurality of lighting fixtures 102 are displayed on map data (for example, a top view) of the lighting area 101. In addition, the plurality of lighting fixtures 102 are represented as symbols that differ by category (e.g., product number).

The pattern data 125 includes appliance information 127, and the appliance information 127 displays a list of the symbol 126 and an identifier (for example, a product number) of the lighting appliance 102 corresponding to the symbol 126. The appliance information 127 includes the name of the client, the construction date, and the like. Note that, instead of the client name, a case name or the like may be used, and instead of the construction date, a store date or the like may be used. Note that, although an example in which a product number is used as the identifier of the lighting fixture 102 is described here, the identifier may be information that can identify the lighting fixture 102 in correspondence with the product number of the lighting fixture 102. The identifier may be, for example, a number for identifying a product number. In addition to the product number of the lighting fixture 102 in each symbol 126, information indicating the type of the fixture may be described. The form of the appliance information 127 is not limited to the display of the list of the symbols 126 and the identifiers of the lighting fixtures 102, and may be a form in which an identifier is described on each symbol 126 arranged on the map data.

Operator 105 confirms read pattern data 125, and selects confirmation key 128 if there is no problem. In addition, when a different pattern is to be read, the change key 129 is selected.

When the confirmation key 128 is selected, the assigning unit 156 of the terminal device 104 acquires the product number of the used lighting fixture 102 by analyzing the pattern data 125 (S142). The adding unit 156 analyzes the pattern data 125 to acquire information of the consignor, the construction date, and the like. Specifically, the pattern data 125 is image data or a combination of image data and character data. The adding unit 156 extracts information of the consignor and the construction date, each symbol 126, and the product number corresponding to each symbol 126 by performing image analysis and character authentication on the instrument information 127 in the pattern data 125.

Next, the assigning unit 156 acquires the specification (standard) of the lighting fixture 102 of the acquired product number (S143). For example, a table indicating the specification of each product number is stored in an external server or the like, and the assigning unit 156 acquires the specification of the lighting fixture of each product number from the server via a network. Note that a table indicating the specification of each product number may be stored in the terminal device 104, and the assigning unit 156 may acquire the specification of each product number by referring to the table stored in the terminal device 104. Here, the specification refers to, for example, a specification for dimming and a specification for toning. The specification may include other information such as the type of the lighting fixture (straight tube type, bulb type, LED, fluorescent lamp, or the like) or the power consumption.

Through the above processing, for example, the appliance information shown in fig. 9 is acquired. Next, the adding unit 156 adds the acquired instrument information (specification, etc.) to the pattern data 125 (S144). Specifically, the assigning unit 156 assigns at least one of the product number and the specification of each of the plurality of lighting fixtures 102 in the pattern data 125 to the lighting fixture 102. In other words, the assigning unit 156 assigns the acquired product number and specification to each lighting fixture 102 on the pattern data 125. That is, the assigning unit 156 associates each symbol 126 in the pattern data 125 with the product number or specification of the lighting fixture 102 corresponding to the symbol 126.

Fig. 10 is a diagram showing an example of the pattern data 125 to which information such as a specification is given, as an example of a screen to which information such as a specification is given. As shown in fig. 10, when the lighting fixture 102 (symbol 126) on the pattern data 125 is selected, the assignment information 131 including the product number and specification of the selected lighting fixture 102 is displayed. The information 132 indicating the assigned consignor, the construction date, and the like may be displayed separately from the appliance information 127.

In addition to displaying the consignor and the construction date, the number of the lighting fixtures 102 may be extracted and information indicating the number may be displayed. In addition, the number of the units may be extracted and displayed according to the product number. For example, the assigning unit 156 extracts the number of symbols 126 in the pattern data 125 by image analysis and counts the number of symbols.

In this way, in the present embodiment, the terminal device 104 automatically gives the product number (identifier), specification, and the like of the lighting fixture 102 to the pattern data 125. This allows the operator 105 to easily check the product numbers, specifications, and the like of the lighting fixtures 102 shown in the drawing data 125 with the on-site state in the terminal device 104. This can further improve the convenience of the operator 105 and shorten the setting work time. Further, the operator 105 having no expert knowledge can be assisted in realizing the setting operation.

[ Address setting processing ]

After the download process of the pattern data (S121) is completed, the address setting unit 157 sets a logical address for each of the lighting fixtures 102 (S122). Fig. 11 and 12 are diagrams showing an example of a logical address setting screen.

For example, the worker 105 selects the symbol 126 of the target device of the lighting device 102 to be addressed, and causes the address confirmation information 136 to be displayed. The operator 105 confirms the pattern data 125, approaches the target appliance, directs the infrared communication unit 152 of the terminal device 104 to the target appliance, and selects the confirmation (OK) key and the transmission key 135. Thereby, the logical address indicated by the address confirmation information 136 is transmitted to the target appliance by infrared rays. The target appliance receives the logical address and holds the received logical address as its own logical address. Next, the operator 105 selects the next symbol 126, and performs the same operation to set a logical address for each lighting fixture 102.

As shown in fig. 12, the symbol 126A of the lighting fixture 102 for which the address setting is completed is displayed differently from the symbol 126 of the lighting fixture 102 for which the address is not set. This allows the operator 105 to easily recognize the lighting fixture 102 for which the address setting has been performed.

When the address setting is completed, operator 105 selects completion key 137. Note that completion key 137 may be displayed when all address settings of lighting fixture 102 are completed.

The logical address transmitted to each lighting fixture 102 may be included in the pattern data 125 after being set in advance, may be set by the operator 105, or may be automatically set in sequence based on a predetermined rule.

The operator 105 may automatically select the target device in a predetermined order without selecting the symbol of the target device.

[ pairing treatment ]

After the address setting process (S122) is completed, the pairing unit 158 performs a pairing process (S123). Fig. 13 is a diagram showing an example of a screen in the pairing process.

In the pairing process, the controller 103 associates a logical address and a communication address (physical address) of each lighting fixture 102. In addition, pairing of the wireless adapter with the lighting fixture 102 is performed using the wireless adapter 106. Next, an example of a case where a plurality of wireless adapters 106 are used will be described.

First, the pairing section 158 instructs the controller 103 to perform pairing. The controller 103 instructs each wireless adapter 106 to transmit its own address. The lighting fixture 102 that has received the address of the wireless adapter 106 returns the own logical address and the preset communication address set in S122 to the wireless adapter 106 by the address setting processing, thereby pairing the wireless adapter 106 and the lighting fixture 102.

In addition, the logical address and communication address of each lighting fixture 102 are transmitted to the controller 103 via the wireless adapter 106. Thus, the controller 103 associates and manages the logical address and the communication address of each lighting fixture 102.

After the pairing is started, the target appliance may be determined by turning on or off the power supply to only the lighting fixture 102 to be associated. In addition, the pairing may be performed at the same time when the address is set.

[ scene setting processing ]

After the pairing setting process (S123) is completed, the setting unit 159 performs a scene setting process (S124). The setting unit 159 performs grouping and scene setting in the scene setting process. Fig. 14 is a diagram showing an example of a screen at the group setting timing.

As shown in fig. 14, a plurality of lighting fixtures 102 are grouped. For example, the group is set by surrounding the symbols 126 of the luminaires 102 set to the same group with a frame 139. The frame 139 may be set by a method such as one stroke. Alternatively, after the group is selected, the symbols 126 of the lighting fixtures 102 included in the selected group may be sequentially selected.

The symbol 126 of the lighting fixture 102 whose grouping setting is completed may be displayed in a different manner from the symbol of the lighting fixture 102 whose grouping setting is not performed, for example, by being framed or by changing the background color.

Then, scene setting is performed for each set group. Here, the scene refers to setting of dimming and toning and setting of changing dimming and toning for each period. Fig. 15 and 16 are diagrams showing examples of screens in scene setting. The scene information 141 is displayed as shown in fig. 15. When the operator 105 selects a displayed scene, the setting contents (the dimming level and the toning level) of the scene are displayed. Further, the operator 105 can change the setting contents (the dimming level and the toning level) by operating the setting bar 142.

Further, as shown in fig. 16, the setting of scene switching is displayed by selecting a scene boundary by the operator 105. The setting of scene switching refers to, for example, a switching time that is a transition time when a scene is switched. That is, during the switching time, the dimming level and the toning level gradually change from the dimming level and the toning level of the previous scene to the dimming level and the toning level of the next scene. The operator 105 can change the setting contents (switching time) by operating the setting bar 143.

By providing such an interface, the operator 105 can easily confirm and set the grouping and scene.

Further, the grouping and scene setting may be set in advance, and may be acquired together with the pattern data 125 in step S141. In this case, in the scene setting (S124), adjustment, change, or confirmation of the setting content is performed.

In addition, after the scene setting process (S124) is completed, the setting contents are saved to the terminal apparatus 104 and transmitted to the controller 103 (S125). Then, the controller 103 performs lighting control based on the setting content. Fig. 17 is a diagram showing an example of a screen when the setting process is completed. For example, a transmission confirmation message 145 shown in fig. 17 is displayed, and the worker 105 selects the transmission key 146 to transmit the setting contents to the controller 103.

[ Effect and the like ]

As described above, in the present embodiment, the operator 105 can adjust the setting and lighting state of each lighting fixture 102 by using the terminal device 104 such as a tablet terminal, and thus the number of man-hours of the operator 105 can be reduced.

In the present embodiment, the identification symbols (for example, product numbers, standards, and the like) of the respective lighting fixtures 102 can be automatically extracted from the pattern data 125. This eliminates the need for the operator 105 to manually input such information, and thus the number of man-hours of the operator 105 can be further reduced. The operator 105 can easily determine the correspondence relationship between each lighting fixture 102 disposed on the ceiling or the like and the lighting fixture 102 displayed on the terminal device 104 using the extracted information. This makes it easy for the worker 105 to perform subsequent processing such as address setting and pairing. In this way, the illumination system 100 capable of easily performing the illumination setting operation can be realized.

Further, the illumination setting operation is simplified, and thus setting can be performed even when the operator 105 does not have expert knowledge of illumination. This eliminates the need for the worker 105 having expert knowledge to go to the site, thereby making it possible to improve the efficiency of the work.

The illumination system according to the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, but the present invention is not limited to the embodiment.

For example, the present invention can be realized not only as the above-described lighting system 100, but also as each device (for example, the terminal apparatus 104) included in the lighting system 100, and also as a setting method of the lighting system 100 including characteristic steps performed by the lighting system 100.

In addition, a part or all of the processing units included in the illumination system according to the above-described embodiment may be realized as an LSI which is an integrated circuit. These may be formed into a single chip individually, or may be formed into a single chip including a part or all of them.

The integrated circuit is not limited to an LSI, and may be realized by a dedicated circuit or a general-purpose processor. An FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) that can be programmed after LSI manufacturing or a reconfigurable processor that can reconfigure connection and setting of circuit elements inside LSI may be used.

That is, in the above embodiments, each component may be configured by dedicated hardware or may be realized by executing a software program suitable for each component. Each of the components may be realized as follows: a program execution unit such as a CPU or a processor reads out a software program recorded in a recording medium such as a hard disk or a semiconductor memory and executes the software program.

Note that division of functional blocks in the block diagrams is an example, and a plurality of functional blocks may be implemented as one functional block, or one functional block may be divided into a plurality of functional blocks, or a part of functions may be moved to another functional block. Further, the functions of a plurality of functional blocks having similar functions may be processed in parallel or in a time-sharing manner by a single piece of hardware or software.

The lighting system according to one or more embodiments has been described above based on the embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to the embodiments. Embodiments obtained by applying various modifications to the present embodiment and embodiments constructed by combining constituent elements in different embodiments may be included in one or more embodiments without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
