Detailed Description

Various exemplary embodiments, features and aspects of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the drawings, like reference numbers can indicate functionally identical or similar elements. While the various aspects of the embodiments are presented in drawings, the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale unless specifically indicated.

The word "exemplary" is used exclusively herein to mean "serving as an example, embodiment, or illustration. Any embodiment described herein as "exemplary" is not necessarily to be construed as preferred or advantageous over other embodiments.

Furthermore, in the following detailed description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a better understanding of the present disclosure. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the present disclosure may be practiced without some of these specific details. In some instances, methods, means, elements and circuits that are well known to those skilled in the art have not been described in detail so as not to obscure the present disclosure.

Fig. 1 illustrates a block diagram of a light control device having a preview function according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 1, the light control apparatus includes: control module, sensor, preview lamp.

Wherein the sensor is to: sensing motion data of the device in a horizontal plane direction. The sensor may be a photoelectric sensor, which is located at the bottom of the control device. Illustratively, the photosensor may be a laser sensor.

In one possible implementation, the control module is configured to: determining a movement direction and a movement distance of the device according to the movement data sensed by the sensor; determining a corresponding light color instruction and/or a light flashing effect instruction according to the movement direction and the movement distance; and controlling the preview lamp and/or the controlled lamp to emit light according to the lighting color instruction and/or the lighting flashing effect instruction.

For example, the sensor may be a light-sensitive chip, and the corresponding motion data may be a light signal sensed on the light-sensitive chip. The light control device may include a light emitting diode. The light signal can be a light signal which is reflected to the photosensitive chip by the plane where the bottom of the light control device is located and emitted by the light emitting diode.

Alternatively, the sensor may be a miniature camera. The light control device may include a light emitting diode. When the light control device is in the starting state, the light emitting diode is always in the light emitting state. The motion data may be an image captured by the micro camera during movement of the light control device. And the control module determines the moving distance and direction of the light control device according to the image. The specific manner for determining the distance and direction of the movement of the light control device can be implemented based on the related art, and the application is not limited thereto.

For example, when the light control device is initialized at the time of starting, a rectangular coordinate system in a horizontal plane is preset with the current position as the origin, and the current position coordinate of the light control device is preset to be (0,0). That is, the coordinate in the X direction of the current position is 0,Y and the coordinate in the X direction is 0. When the light control device moves, the control module obtains the moving distance of the light control device in the X direction and the moving distance of the light control device in the Y direction according to the motion data sensed by the sensor. The specific manner of obtaining the moving distance of the light control device in the X direction and the moving distance in the Y direction according to the sensed motion data may be implemented based on the related art, and the present application is not limited thereto.

In a possible implementation manner, when the distance that the light control device moves in the X direction is greater than a first threshold, the control module determines that the coordinate of the light control device in the X direction changes by 1 unit. When the moving distance of the light control device in the Y direction is larger than a first threshold value, the control module judges that the coordinate of the light control device in the Y direction changes by 1 unit. The first threshold may be 30 cm or 50 cm, etc.

For example, the current position coordinates of the light control device are (4,4), and if the distance that the light control device moves in the X-axis negative direction is greater than the first threshold, the control module determines that the light control device has moved 1 unit in the X-axis negative direction, that is, the current position coordinates of the light control device are (3,4). If the distance moved by the light control device in the positive direction of the X axis is greater than a first threshold value, the control module judges that the light control device moves 1 unit in the positive direction of the X axis, namely the current position coordinates of the light control device are changed to be (5,4).

In a possible implementation manner, a light color instruction list and a light flashing effect instruction list may be preset in the control module.

In one possible implementation, the light color instruction table may include light color instructions. And when the position coordinate of the light control device changes by 1 unit in the X direction, the control module determines the current color instruction in the color instructions in the light color instruction table. The control module can determine a color instruction in the light color instruction list as the current color instruction according to a certain sequence. For example, the order may be a random switching between the instructions in the light color instruction table, or may be a loop in the storage order of the instructions in the light color instruction table. The lighting color corresponding to the current color instruction determined by the control module is different from the lighting color displayed by the preview lamp before the position coordinate changes in the X direction.

In a possible implementation manner, the light color instruction table may include a correspondence relationship between the light color instruction and the X-direction coordinate: a red command (X-coordinate 1), a yellow command (X-coordinate 2), a green command (X-coordinate 3), a cyan command (X-coordinate 4), a blue command (X-coordinate 5), a violet command (X-coordinate 6) and a white command violet command (X-coordinate 7). When the coordinate of the light control device on the X axis is changed into 3, the control module determines a green instruction according to the corresponding relation between the light color instruction and the coordinate. When the coordinate of the light control device on the X axis is changed into 2, the control module determines a yellow instruction according to the corresponding relation between the light color instruction and the coordinate.

In one possible implementation, the light flash effect instruction table may include a light flash effect instruction. And when the position coordinate of the light control device changes by 1 unit in the Y direction, the control module determines one flash effect instruction in the light flash effect instruction list as the current flash effect instruction. The control module can determine a flash effect instruction in the light flash effect instruction list according to a certain sequence. For example, the sequence may be a random switching between instructions in the light flash effect instruction list, or may be a loop according to the storage sequence of the instructions in the light flash effect instruction list. And the lamplight flashing effect corresponding to the flashing effect instruction determined by the control module is different from the lamplight flashing effect displayed by the preview lamp before the position coordinate of the lamplight control device is changed in the Y direction.

In a possible implementation manner, the light flash effect instruction table may include a correspondence relationship between the light flash effect instruction and the Y-axis coordinate: a gradual flash effect command (Y coordinate of 1) and a sudden flash effect command (Y coordinate of 2). When the coordinate of the light control device on the Y axis is changed into 1, the control module can obtain the gradual-change flash effect instruction according to the corresponding relation between the light flash effect instruction and the Y axis coordinate. When the coordinate of the light control device on the Y axis is changed into 2, the control module can obtain the sudden change flash effect instruction according to the corresponding relation between the light flash effect instruction and the coordinate.

And the instruction of the gradually-changed flash effect indicates that the preview lamp displays the gradually-changed flash effect with slowly-changed color. The snap flash effect instruction instructs the preview light to display a snap flash effect with a faster color change.

In one possible implementation, the preview lamp may be a group of lamps including a plurality of lamp beads. When the flash effect instruction indicates the gradual change flash effect, a plurality of lamp beads in the preview lamp sequentially display the gradual change color.

For example, the gradual change flashing effect can refer to the flashing effect from red to light red and then pink, and the preview lamp can include three lamp pearl (first lamp pearl, second lamp pearl and third lamp pearl), and when the preview lamp received the light flashing effect instruction that gradual change flashing effect corresponds, first lamp pearl shows red, two seconds later, first lamp pearl is extinguish gradually, and second lamp pearl begins to show light red, and two seconds later, second lamp pearl is extinguish gradually, and third lamp pearl begins to show pink, and two seconds later, third lamp pearl is extinguish gradually, and first lamp pearl begins to show red.

In one possible implementation, the preview lamp may be a group of lamps including a plurality of lamp beads. When the flash effect instruction of the light indicates that the flash effect is suddenly changed, a plurality of lamp beads in the preview lamp sequentially display suddenly changed colors.

For example, the abrupt change flash effect may refer to a flash effect that a color is suddenly changed from red to yellow, and then the color is suddenly changed from yellow to blue, the preview lamp may include three lamp beads (a first lamp bead, a second lamp bead and a third lamp bead), when the preview lamp receives a light flash effect instruction corresponding to the abrupt change flash effect, the first lamp bead displays red, after 0.2 second, the first lamp bead is immediately turned off, the second lamp bead starts to display yellow, after 0.2 second, the second lamp bead is immediately turned off, the third lamp bead starts to display blue, after 0.2 second, the third lamp bead is gradually turned off, and after 0.2 second, the first lamp bead starts to display red.

Like this, cooperate through a plurality of lamp pearls in the preview lamp and show different colours in proper order for the preview lamp reaches the dynamic flash of light effect or the dynamic flash of light effect of abrupt change of breathing gradual change on the whole. The color and the flash effect of the light can be experienced more visually through a plurality of lamp beads in the preview lamp.

In a possible implementation manner, the control module controls the preview lamp to emit light according to the light color instruction and/or the light flashing effect instruction. The control module is a chip with an arithmetic processing function, and in a possible implementation manner, the control module may be a chip of a CC2530 model.

In one possible implementation, only the color of the preview light may be adjusted, only the flashing effect of the preview light may be adjusted, or both the color and the flashing effect of the preview light may be adjusted.

Under the condition that the control module only detects the movement of the lamplight control device in the X direction, the preview lamp is controlled to switch the display colors; and under the condition that the control module only detects the movement of the lamplight control device in the Y direction, the preview lamp is controlled to switch the lamplight flashing effect. Under the condition that the control module detects that the light control device moves in the X direction and the Y direction, the preview lamp is controlled to switch the color and the flashing effect.

It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the determination of the corresponding lighting color command and/or lighting flashing effect command according to the movement direction and the movement distance may also be implemented in other manners, for example, the current color command may also be determined according to the coordinate position change in the Y direction, and the current flashing effect command may also be determined according to the coordinate position change in the X direction.

For example, the control module determines the movement track of the light control device according to the coordinate change trend of the light control device determined in the preset time period. The motion track can be linear, L-shaped, Z-shaped or S-shaped. In a possible implementation manner, the corresponding relationship between the motion trajectory and the light color instruction and/or the light flashing effect instruction is preset in the control module. And the control module determines the light color instruction and/or the light flash effect instruction according to the corresponding relation between the motion track and the light color instruction and/or the light flash effect instruction. And determining the corresponding light color instruction and/or light flashing effect instruction according to the motion trail improves the user experience of the light control device.

When the user previews the required color or flash effect, the user can indicate that the user selects the color or flash effect by triggering a first key or stopping moving the light control device, and correspondingly, the control module can send the light color instruction and/or the light flash effect instruction to the controlled light through different sending modes (such as a first sending mode and a second sending mode).

In one possible implementation, fig. 2 illustrates a block diagram of a light control device with a preview function according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 2, the light control apparatus further includes: the first button, the vibrating motor, the antenna.

The control module may have a control mode preset therein, and the control mode may include a first transmission mode and a second transmission mode. The control module may be further operable to: in a first sending mode, when a first triggering mode for the first key is detected, the lamplight color instruction and/or the lamplight flashing effect instruction are sent to a controlled lamp; in a second sending mode, if the sensor cannot detect the motion data of the control device within a first preset time period, sending the light color instruction and/or the light flashing effect instruction to a controlled lamp; wherein the controlled lamp is a lamp controlled by the control device.

In a possible implementation manner, in the first sending mode, the control module sends the determined new lighting color instruction and/or the lighting flash effect instruction to the preview lamp, and when detecting that the first key is pressed, the control module sends the lighting color instruction and/or the lighting flash effect instruction to the controlled lamp. The first trigger mode may be that the first key is pressed for a short time, for example, the duration of pressing the first key is less than 2 seconds.

In a possible implementation manner, in the second sending mode, if the control module does not detect the motion data of the control device within a first preset time period after the control module sends the determined new lighting color instruction and/or the lighting flash effect instruction to the preview lamp, that is, the control module does not detect the coordinate change of the lighting control device, the control module sends the determined lighting color instruction and/or the lighting flash effect instruction to the controlled lamp; wherein the controlled lamp is a lamp controlled by the control device. Wherein the first preset time period may be 2 to 4 seconds.

Therefore, after confirming that the light-emitting effect of the preview lamp is the required effect, the user can trigger the first key to send the lamplight color instruction and/or the lamplight flashing effect instruction to control the controlled lamp in the first sending mode, or stop moving the lamplight control device to send the lamplight color instruction and/or the lamplight flashing effect instruction to control the controlled lamp in the second sending mode, so that the controlled lamp emits light in a mode corresponding to the light-emitting effect of the preview lamp.

In a possible implementation manner, the control module may be configured to switch between the first sending mode and the second sending mode according to a second triggering manner and a current control mode when detecting the second triggering manner for the first key.

For example, the second triggering manner may be long pressing of the first key. For example, when the first key is in the first transmission mode, and the time for pressing the first key is more than or equal to 2 seconds, the control module switches the first transmission mode into the second transmission mode. Or, the mobile terminal is currently in the second sending mode, and when the time for pressing the first key is more than or equal to 2 seconds, the control module switches the second sending mode into the first sending mode.

Through different triggering modes, the first key can realize different functions, the multiplexing of the first key is realized, the hardware cost is reduced, and the product appearance is simpler.

In one possible implementation, the control module may be further configured to: and when the switching from the first transmission mode to the second transmission mode is detected, controlling the preview lamp to display a first indicator light, and when the switching from the second transmission mode to the first transmission mode is detected, controlling the preview lamp to display a second indicator light. Wherein, first pilot light can be red light, and second pilot light can be green light.

In a possible implementation manner, the preview lamp includes a plurality of lamp beads, and in the process of switching the control modes, when the time for pressing the first key is longer than 2 seconds, the lamp beads start to light up in sequence, after 4 seconds, all the lamp beads light up, and the first sending mode is switched to the second sending mode or the second sending mode is switched to the first sending mode.

In a possible implementation manner, the plurality of lamp beads may be arranged in a circular manner, and when the first sending mode is switched to the second sending mode, the plurality of lamp beads sequentially light up clockwise; when the second sending mode is switched to the first sending mode, the lamp beads are sequentially lightened anticlockwise.

Indicating a mode switch with a preview light may make it easier for a user to determine the current operating state of the device.

In a possible implementation manner, after the second sending mode is started, if the sensor cannot detect the motion data of the control device within a second preset time period and the control module cannot detect the second triggering mode (long-time pressing) of the first key, the control module switches the control mode to the first sending mode.

In a possible implementation manner, after the second sending mode is started, if the light control device does not change its position within 0.5-1 minute (a second preset time period), that is, the sensor cannot detect the motion data of the control device, and the control module cannot detect the second triggering mode for the first key, the control module switches the control mode to the first sending mode.

When the light control device is in the second sending mode, if the time that the control device does not move exceeds the second preset time, it indicates that the user does not have a need to switch the light night color or the effect, and thus, if the control device is moved carelessly, adjustment of the color or the flash effect of the controlled light may be triggered. After the second sending mode is started, if the motion data of the control device cannot be detected by the sensor within a second preset time period and the user does not switch the control mode in a second triggering mode (long pressing of the first key), the control module automatically switches the control mode to the first sending mode (in which an instruction is sent to the controlled lamp only when the first key is triggered for a short time), so that the occurrence of false triggering which may occur when the control device is in the second sending mode is avoided.

In a possible implementation manner, when the lighting control device is in the first sending mode, if the sensor cannot detect the motion data of the control device within a third preset time period, the control module turns off the preview lamp and enters a sleep state within a fourth preset time period after the preview lamp is turned off. For example, the motion data of the control device may not be detected by the sensor within 0.5 to 1 minute (a third preset time period), the preview lamp is turned off by the control module, and the control module automatically enters the sleep state after 0.5 to 1 minute (a fourth preset time period).

And the control module extinguishes the preview lamp and enters a dormant state in a fourth preset time period after extinguishment by the control module when the sensor cannot detect the motion data of the control device in a third preset time period. Like this, realized when the user probably need not adjust light colour or flash of light effect, timely will preview the lamp and extinguish, and then set up controlling means into dormancy state, reduced controlling means unnecessary electric quantity loss, improved the single charge duration of battery.

In one possible implementation, the apparatus further includes: a vibration motor that performs vibration feedback when the sensor senses the motion of the device. Or the vibration motor is used for performing vibration feedback according to an instruction sent by the control module. Therefore, a user can perceive that the light control device sends the light color instruction and the light flashing effect instruction to the controlled lamp and/or the preview lamp according to the vibration of the vibration motor.

In a possible implementation manner, the antenna is configured to send the light color instruction and the light flashing effect instruction to the controlled lamp. Control command is sent to the controlled lamp through the antenna, the technical problem that a switch panel is generally fixed in a specific position and cannot be moved is solved, the light control device controls the controlled lamp through a wireless communication mode, and intelligent control over the controlled lamp is achieved.

In a possible implementation manner, the light control device further comprises a power module, and the power supply is used for supplying power to the light control device. In one possible implementation, the power module includes a lithium battery, and the lithium battery may be charged through a charging port.

Thus, the motion data of the device in the horizontal plane direction is sensed through the sensor; the control module determines the movement direction and the movement distance of the device according to the movement data sensed by the sensor; determining a corresponding light color instruction and/or a light flashing effect instruction according to the movement direction and the movement distance; and controlling the preview lamp and/or the controlled lamp to emit light according to the lighting color instruction and/or the lighting flashing effect instruction. Therefore, the control of the color or the flash effect of the preview lamp is realized, and the preview of the display effect is realized through the preview lamp.

According to the light control device of the embodiment of the disclosure, the times of switching different display effects of the controlled lamp when the user selects the display effect of the controlled lamp are greatly reduced, and the service life of the controlled lamp is prolonged. Meanwhile, the user experience of the user in the process of using the light control device is improved.
