Therefore, dimming level can be changed with the variation of dimming level during the duration of t3 to t4 based on per unit time.

During the time interval of t4 to t5, the acoustic information for maintaining dimming level may recognize that.In addition, ought not know When the sound type information that Chu do not set, configuration can be made to maintain dimming level.For example, when the time interval phase in t4 to t5 Between when not receiving individual acoustic information, illumination control apparatus produce for the time interval corresponding to t4 to t5 when Between during maintain t4 dimming level control information.Because identifying that Second Type is believed during the time interval of t5 to t6 Breath, so illumination control apparatus produces the control for closing illumination during the time of the time interval corresponding to t5 to t6 Information.Because identifying third type information during the time interval of t6 to t7, illumination control apparatus, which produces, to be used for Increase the control information of the dimming level of illumination during corresponding to the time of the time interval of t6 to t7.When in t7 to t8 Between interim when not receiving individual acoustic information, illumination control apparatus is produced in the time for corresponding to t7 to t8 The control information of the dimming level of t7 is maintained during interval time.Because identifying second during the time interval of t8 to t9 Type information, so illumination control apparatus is produced for closing illumination during the time of the time interval corresponding to t8 to t9 Control information.

It produces 0 and arrives Lighting control pattern-information of the time span of t9 as a cycle.As shown in figure 14, can pass through The control information of a cycle controls illumination or can in addition configure the number in the repetition period.It is configured in addition, can pass through Total operating time and the Lighting control pattern-information next life that the configured period is applied during preconfigured total operating time At Lighting control information.

In the embodiment above of the disclosure, for example, first kind information can be the voice messaging of [ggam] and Second Type information can be the voice messaging of [bbak].For example, it is assumed that the voice of [ggam] [bbak] [ggam] [bbak] is believed Breath is input into illumination control apparatus.It produces for opening lighting device during the time of the input of identification [ggam] Information is controlled, and produces the control information for closing lighting device during the time of the input of identification [bbak].Example Such as, the acoustic information of [ggam] [bbak] can be input in illumination control apparatus and then can be in response to user by user Voice input generate intuitive Lighting control information.For example, when user's expectation opens lighting device simultaneously during specific time And when closing lighting device during another specific time, first kind information and Second Type information can be generated and shine Bright control device can receive first kind information and Second Type information.Because user can be according to first kind information and second The duration of type information intuitively determine lighting device operating time, institute be for users in this way it is intuitive and Useful.

Meanwhile although third type information and the 4th type information has been described, can be used first kind information and Second Type information controls dimming level.For example, being produced when inputting Second Type information after first kind information For closing the Lighting control information of illumination by gradually decreasing dimming level.On the contrary, being inputted when after Second Type information When first kind information, the Lighting control information for opening illumination by gradually increasing dimming level is produced.

In addition, when inputting acoustic information dimming level can be controlled according to the information of the size about acoustic information.Example Such as, it describes the operations as opening illumination when inputting acoustic information and closing the photograph illuminated when not inputting acoustic information The example of bright control information.At this point, producing when sound size increases during the time for inputting acoustic information for right Increase the control information of dimming level during between seasonable.The sound during the specified time interval in the time of input acoustic information When size reduces, the control information for reducing dimming level during the corresponding time is produced.

At this point, dimming level can be determined based on basic dimming level.For example, can configure basic dimming level and most lofty tone Light level.At this point, Lighting control information can be generated in the following manner: will be inputted during the time interval of input acoustic information The size of acoustic information be maximum time point and highest dimming level matches and is minimum by the size of acoustic information Time point match with minimum dimming level.It can be by identifying the time point about input acoustic information, input maximum acoustic Time point of information and input minimum sound information time point information and connect the next life at time point on continuous time At control information.

In addition, in an embodiment of the disclosure dimming level can be controlled based on pitch information.Pitch information can To join with the frequency dependence of acoustic information.From physically saying, when vibration frequency increases, pitch becomes higher.
