In addition, the technical features of the embodiments of the present invention described below may be combined with each other as long as they do not collide with each other.

Referring to fig. 1-2, a lighting control system according to an embodiment of the present invention is specifically illustrated based on fig. 1-2.

Referring to fig. 1, it can be seen that the lighting control system at least includes a lamp and a receiver, and the lamp is electrically connected with the receiver, so as to control the lamp by the receiver.

The light fixture is used for illumination, the light fixture can be a light fixture composed of LED lamp beads with dimming and color mixing functions, a control circuit for dimming and color mixing is arranged in the receiver, and the receiver can adjust the brightness and/or the color temperature of the light fixture.

Further, the receiver is adapted to be mounted hidden. The hidden installation is understood to be installed in a position which is not easily observed or operated in daily use, for example, in the back of a mirror of an intelligent bathroom cabinet mirror or in a cabinet or in a lampshade of a ceiling lamp. In such application environments, it is not possible or easy to control the receiver by directly operating it. Furthermore, as shown in fig. 1, the lighting control system further has a wireless transmitter having a wireless communication function and capable of transmitting a control signal that can be received by a receiver, and the receiver implements adjustment of its brightness and/or color temperature based on a control result to which the control signal is directed.

In a specific implementation manner of the wireless transmitter, the wireless transmitter is composed of a shell and a circuit board, wherein the circuit board is arranged inside the shell, and a communication module and a processing module are arranged on the circuit board, and the processing module can be a microcontroller such as a singlechip and the like, and is electrically connected with the communication module so as to send wireless signals outwards through the communication module. The communication module may be, for example, a bluetooth, ZIGBEE, 433M, etc. based communication module. The processing module and the communication module may be integrated or separated.

In a specific example, the communication module may use a bluetooth module to perform communication, and further, the bluetooth module may pair with the receiver, and after pairing, the wireless transmitter may perform corresponding control on the receiver based on a control signal programmed by a bluetooth protocol.

In other examples, the communication mode of the communication module may also be changed arbitrarily, and any change whatsoever does not depart from the protection scope of the embodiments of the present invention.

In addition, along with the increasing richness of the functions of the lamp, the requirements for the diversity of the control types of the wireless transmitter are gradually increased, for example, the lamp in the embodiment has various control requirements such as dimming, color mixing, turning on, turning off, and the like, so that the wireless transmitter needs to be able to control the functions respectively. Based on this, the present embodiment provides a solution, which can increase the multiplexing rate of the keys at the wireless transmitter end, and reduce the number of keys at the wireless transmitter end, so that the wireless transmitter can control multiple functions of the receiver with a smaller number of keys. Specifically: after the receiver is paired with the wireless transmitter, the receiver receives a control signal sent by the wireless transmitter in a third designated range, and after or while receiving the control signal, the receiver judges the current working state of the receiver, wherein:

If the first state is in the first state of the at least two working states, a first action is executed in response to the control signal; if the first state is in the second state of the at least two working states, responding to the control signal to execute a second action; wherein the first state and the second state are different and the first action and the second action are different.

Further, the receiver in this embodiment will change the control result of the same control signal sent by the wireless transmitter according to the difference of its current operation state. In other words, in this embodiment, the control result pointed by the control signal sent by the wireless transmitter is not determined, and the control of which function is implemented by the control result depends on the current working state of the receiver, and is determined by the receiver. And further, the judging task of which function is executed is transferred to the receiver end, the wireless transmitter only needs to transmit one control signal, and the control signal can be generated by one key, so that the functions of the receiver are controlled by one key of the wireless transmitter, the number of keys of the wireless transmitter end is reduced, and the multiplexing rate of the keys is improved.

In a specific example, the first state may be one of a state in which the lamp is turned on and a state in which the lamp is turned off, and the second state may be the other of the state in which the lamp is turned on and the state in which the lamp is turned off; the first action may be to adjust one of the brightness and the color temperature of the luminaire and the second action may be to adjust the other of the brightness and the color temperature of the luminaire.

One typical application of the lighting control system is a smart bathroom mirror, and the following embodiments will be specifically described for the lighting control system application in a smart bathroom mirror scenario:

it can be appreciated that the use environment of the intelligent bathroom cabinet mirror is generally in humid environments such as a bathroom, and then the wireless transmitter needs to have certain waterproof and moistureproof capabilities, and too many keys of the wireless transmitter obviously are unfavorable for the waterproof design of the structure, so in the lighting control system under the use environment of the intelligent bathroom cabinet mirror, the reduction requirement of the key number of the wireless transmitter is more urgent. Therefore, based on the scheme provided by the above embodiment, when the wireless transmitter has only one key, the following control strategy is given that the plurality of functions of the lamp are controlled by one key:

1) Adjusting the color temperature of the lamp: when the lamp is in a state of being turned off, a key of the wireless transmitter is pressed for a long time (for example, the pressing state is kept for 2 seconds or more), and the wireless transmitter sends a control signal; the receiver receives the control signal and then switches the lamp to a lighting state (i.e. turns on the lamp), meanwhile, the receiver can control a white indicator lamp to be on to prompt the user to be in a color temperature adjusting state at present, and at the moment, the control signal sent by the button of the wireless transmitter after being pressed can instruct the receiver to carry out electrodeless cycle adjustment on the color temperature of the lamp, for example: the white-warm white-white cycle proceeds with a pause of 2 seconds at peak (whitest/warmest) (white indicator light may flash once for 0.5 seconds to indicate) and then proceeds with the next cycle. Further, each cycle (from the color temperature peak bottom to the color temperature peak top) may be completed for 5 seconds.

2) Adjusting the brightness of the lamp:

when the lamp is in a lighting state, a key of the wireless transmitter is pressed for a long time (for example, the pressing state is kept for 2 seconds or more), and the wireless transmitter sends a control signal; the receiver can adjust the brightness after receiving the control signal, and meanwhile, the receiver can control a white indicator lamp to be on (or the indicator lamps of other colors to be on) so as to prompt a user to be in a brightness adjustment state at present, in the brightness adjustment process, the brightness of the lamp is circularly adjusted between 10% and 100%, and when the brightness is at a peak value (the bottom peak is 10% or the top peak is 100%), the receiver stops for 2 seconds (the white indicator lamp can flash for one time for prompting at 0.5S), and then the next cycle is entered. Further, each cycle may be completed 5 seconds at the limit.

3) Switching the working state of the lamp:

when the lamp is in a lighting state (lights are turned on), the wireless transmitter sends a control signal by pressing a button of the wireless switch for a short time (for example, the pressing and releasing actions are completed once in less than 2 seconds); the receiver receives the control signal and then switches the lamp to a state of being turned off (turns off the lamp). When the lamp is in an off state (turning off the lamp), the wireless transmitter sends a control signal by pressing a button of the wireless switch for a short time (for example, the pressing and releasing actions are completed once in less than 2 seconds); the receiver receives the control signal and switches the lamp to a lighting state (on lamp).

Furthermore, in the scheme, the single button based on the wireless transmitter can realize the control of a plurality of functions of turning on and off the lamp, adjusting the color temperature and adjusting the brightness of the lamp. The single key is very favorable for the waterproof structure design of the wireless transmitter, for example, the shell of the wireless transmitter can adopt a totally-enclosed integrated waterproof structure, a part of areas are thinned, the circuit board corresponding to the thinned areas is provided with a detection switch, and then the shell can be deformed and trigger the detection switch by pressing the thinned areas, so that the key function is realized.

In addition, since intelligent bathroom cabinet mirrors typically have multiple light fixtures, such as a light strip mounted on the mirror (mirror light strip) and a light strip mounted in the cabinet (cabinet light strip). Furthermore, the situation that a plurality of receivers respectively control a plurality of lamps may occur in an intelligent cabinet mirror (as shown in fig. 2), and in actual use, dimming and toning of the plurality of lamps are generally required to be synchronous, so as to improve user experience. When only one wireless transmitter is used to control the dimming and toning of a plurality of receivers, synchronization is difficult to achieve, so that a wired controller is selected to be adopted in the prior art for the situation, but the wired controller faces a plurality of problems such as complex wiring and the like. Based on this, a solution to the synchronization problem when controlling a plurality of receivers for color temperature and/or brightness adjustment by a wireless transmitter is presented in the present embodiment.

Specifically, the control signal sent by the wireless transmitter carries a parameter value for indicating color temperature and/or brightness, and the parameter value is an absolute value of the color temperature and/or brightness, so that after the receiver receives the control signal, the color temperature and/or brightness of the lamp is adjusted to the absolute value, and the problem of asynchronous adjustment caused by adopting a relative value form is avoided.

In addition, the receiver also has a memory function for automatically recovering the last brightness and color temperature when the lamp is turned on again after being turned off.

For pairing between a wireless transmitter and a receiver, in the prior art, the receiver is generally operated to be paired with the wireless transmitter, for example, the receiver is subjected to operations such as power-off restarting, but in an application environment similar to the intelligent bathroom mirror, the receiver is generally installed in a hidden manner, and a control switch of a power supply loop of the receiver is not generally configured, which causes power-off operation of the receiver and inconvenience. For example, in the installation scene of the intelligent bath cabinet mirror, the intelligent bath cabinet mirror is actually formed by combining a mirror (mirror lamp belt) + "bath cabinet (cabinet lamp belt)," in the actual installation process, a master installs the mirror first, and installs the bath cabinet after the power-on, pairing and testing functions are not abnormal, so that the power-on, pairing and testing functions are not abnormal, owners sign, individual owners require the concealed installation of the electric wires, the electric wires are not plug-type, and the electric wires are directly connected, so that the power-off restarting of the mirror or a receiver in the bath cabinet means that the power-off cannot be performed, and only a power-off pairing mode cannot be accepted. In the daily use process, if the original wireless transmitter is damaged or lost, a new wireless transmitter needs to be configured for the receiver, and if the pairing of the receivers is triggered by switching off the switch and powering off, the pairing is very inconvenient. Based on this, an embodiment of the present invention provides a processing method, which can trigger a receiver to enter pairing by a wireless signal sent by a wireless transmitter, that is, without performing physical operations (such as pressing a key, etc.) and power-off operations on the receiver, so that the processing method is convenient and fast. Moreover, considering that when the wireless transmitter and the receiver are paired, if the receiver directly performs pairing after receiving the pairing signal transmitted by the wireless transmitter, the incorrect pairing is easily caused, in the processing method provided by the invention, the pairing of the receiver is performed in stages, and a to-be-paired stage is provided midway, and is used for a user to confirm the pairing operation so as to prevent the incorrect pairing.

Specifically, referring to fig. 3 and 4, a processing method provided in the present embodiment is specifically explained, and in addition, the processing method provided in the present embodiment is applicable to the above-mentioned illumination control system.

Referring to fig. 3, a processing method provided in an embodiment of the present invention at least includes:

s1, the wireless transmitter responds to first designated control to send out a first signal.

S2, the first receiver receives the first signal, responds to the first signal and enters a phase to be paired, and keeps the phase to be paired for at least a time before the pairing with the wireless transmitter is completed; the phase to be paired is understood to be a phase in which the first receiver is adapted to pair with the wireless transmitter, thereby forming a controlled and administered relationship with the wireless transmitter.

S3, in a phase to be paired of the first receiver, the wireless transmitter responds to a second designated control to send a second signal.

S4, the first receiver receives the second signal and performs pairing in response to the second signal.

If the wireless transmitter transmits the second signal in a non-pairing stage of the first receiver, the wireless transmitter refuses to pair by the first receiver due to the fact that the wireless transmitter does not accord with the expected pairing time of the first receiver.

In addition, considering that the user needs to confirm whether to pair in the pairing stage, the value of a needs to ensure that the user has a confirmation time, and meanwhile, if the user needs to control the first receiver in time, the time a in the pairing stage cannot be too long, and comprehensively considered that the value of a in the embodiment is [3 seconds, 30 minutes ]. For example, the value of a may be 30 seconds, that is, the first receiver enters the to-be-paired stage after receiving the first signal, and keeps the to-be-paired stage for 30 seconds before the pairing is successful, and exits the to-be-paired stage if no pairing is completed after 30 seconds. If pairing is completed within 30 seconds, the pairing is not completed by waiting for 30 seconds, but the to-be-paired stage is immediately exited after the pairing is completed.

Furthermore, based on the above-mentioned scheme, in the processing method provided by the embodiment, the pairing of the first receiver is wirelessly triggered by the wireless transmitter, so that the first receiver is conveniently triggered to enter the pairing by the wireless transmitter when the first receiver is installed at a position inconvenient to operate or in an environment inconvenient to power-off and restart. And in the pairing process, the first receiver enters a to-be-paired stage, and after the user confirms, the first receiver is paired according to the second signal. Wherein the first receiver remains in the phase to be paired for a time to enable the user to confirm the current pairing process.

In some embodiments, the processing method further comprises:

if the first receiver receives a third signal sent by another wireless transmitter in the phase to be paired, responding to the third signal to exit the phase to be paired; wherein the further wireless transmitter is a wireless transmitter that has completed pairing with the first receiver.

Further, the pairing process of the first receiver can be interrupted by the wireless transmitter with which the pairing has been completed, i.e. if the user confirms that pairing is not required in the pairing phase of the first receiver (e.g. the first receiver is mishandled into pairing or is triggered into pairing by a wireless transmitter at a neighboring home), the pairing process can be terminated by triggering the first receiver to exit the pairing phase by the wireless transmitter with which the first receiver has been paired.

In some embodiments, the first signal carries distance information and first identification information, where the first identification information is used to characterize a wireless transmitter that transmits the first signal, and the distance information is used to characterize a distance value between the wireless transmitter corresponding to the first signal and the first receiver. Before the first receiver enters the phase to be paired, judging whether the first signal meets a preset rule or not, and if so, entering the phase to be paired; otherwise, the entry into the phase to be paired is refused due to not conforming to the desired pairing operation of the first receiver.

Wherein the preset rules comprise at least one of the following first rules and second rules:

first rule: the distance value obtained directly or indirectly according to the distance information carried in the first signal is in a second specified range, wherein the second specified range is a range within b meters from the first receiver, and the value of b is [0.3,2] (preferably 0.5 meters to 1 meter) so as to control (limit) the pairing distance and prevent false triggering between production workshops or adjacent places. Specifically, the pairing distance b may be limited to about 0.5 meters. For the second specified range in the first rule, the embodiment further defines that the first specified range is at least two times larger than the second specified range, where the first specified range is used to limit the effective control distance of the third signal, that is, the third signal is sent by the other wireless transmitter in the first specified range in response to the third specified manipulation, and the first specified range is at least two times larger than the second specified range, so that the effective distance for terminating the pairing of the first receiver is far larger than the effective distance for triggering the first receiver to enter the stage to be paired, that is, the user needs to bring the wireless transmitter closer to the first receiver to prevent false triggering of other receivers during pairing, and when the user terminates pairing of the first receiver, the third signal can be sent at a far distance to achieve the effects of triggering pairing in a small range and terminating pairing in a large range. In addition, the first specified manipulation, the second specified manipulation and the third specified manipulation each comprise at least one pressing action of at least one key applied to the other wireless transmitter, and in order to facilitate distinguishing the specified manipulations, the third specified manipulation is different from the first specified manipulation and/or the second specified manipulation in at least one of the following operation parameters: number of presses, duration of press. In a specific example, the third specified manipulation may be, for example, a short press of an arbitrary key, and the second specified manipulation and/or the first specified manipulation may be, for example, a multiple press of an arbitrary key.

A second rule: the first identification information carried in the first signal is not stored in the first receiver. Furthermore, based on the second rule, the wireless transmitter already paired with the first receiver cannot trigger the first receiver to enter a phase to be paired, and only the first signal sent by the new wireless transmitter not paired with the first receiver can trigger the first receiver to enter the pairing.

In a specific example, the first rule and the second rule may be required to be satisfied simultaneously. The first receiver judges that the corresponding first signal is qualified under the condition that the first rule and the second rule are both met before the first receiver enters the pairing, and then enters a to-be-paired stage, so that the aim that the first receiver can be triggered to enter the pairing only when a new wireless transmitter which is not paired with the first receiver is in a smaller range of the second designated range is fulfilled.

In some embodiments, to increase the difficulty of triggering pairing to reduce the probability of false triggering, the first signal is divided into a series of first sub-signals, and each sub-signal is generated by multiple pressing actions. Specifically:

the first signals consist of a plurality of identical or different first sub-signals, each first sub-signal carries own distance information and first identification information, and the first specified control comprises pressing actions applied to a key of the wireless transmitter for a plurality of times in time c; the value of c is [0.5 seconds, 10 seconds ].

The wireless transmitter transmits a first signal in response to a first designated manipulation, and specifically comprises:

the wireless transmitter generates a first sub-signal in response to each of a plurality of pressing actions applied during time c to transmit a plurality of first sub-signals generated consecutively.

Specifically, multiple pressing actions can be applied to the same key of the wireless transmitter or different keys, and the duration of each pressing action can be the same or different, so that first sub-signals generated by the multiple pressing actions can be the same or different, the operation difficulty of the first signal generation and the richness of signal composition are increased, and the safety is enhanced.

In a specific example, the plurality of first sub-signals are divided into two continuous parts, the first part of the first sub-signals are generated after the wireless transmitter is applied with continuous short pressing operations (for example, a continuous pressing and releasing operation is completed within 2 seconds), and the second part of the first sub-signals are generated after the wireless transmitter is applied with at least one long pressing operation (for example, a long pressing operation is performed for more than 2 seconds).

And then based on the present embodiment:

Further, for example, the first specified manipulation includes three short pressing operations and one long pressing operation, and in specific use: the user needs to press a certain key of the wireless transmitter three times continuously to generate first sub-signals corresponding to three short pressing operations, and then presses a certain key of the wireless transmitter for more than 2 seconds to generate first sub-signals corresponding to one long pressing operation.

The receiver receives three continuous short pressing first sub-signals and one long pressing first sub-signal, verifies that the distance values corresponding to the distance information carried in all the first sub-signals are in a second range, and the first identification information is the same and is not paired, and enters a to-be-paired stage.

In some embodiments, the second signal includes second identification information therein, the second identification information characterizing a wireless transmitter that transmitted the second signal; the second signal is further used for triggering the first receiver to receive the second signal and storing second identification information carried in the second signal so as to complete pairing.

The wireless transmitter corresponding to the second identification information and the wireless transmitter corresponding to the first identification information may be the same or different, and further the second identification information and the first identification information may be the same or different.

In a specific example, if the wireless transmitter corresponding to the first identification information is the same as the wireless transmitter corresponding to the second identification information, the wireless transmitter triggering the first receiver to enter the phase to be paired and the wireless transmitter paired with the first receiver are the same wireless transmitter. If the wireless transmitter corresponding to the first identification information is different from the wireless transmitter corresponding to the second identification information, the wireless transmitter triggering the first receiver to enter the to-be-paired stage and the wireless transmitter paired with the first receiver are different wireless transmitters.

Further, in order to improve the safety of the pairing process, the second signal is divided into a series of second sub-signals, and the second sub-signals are respectively generated by a plurality of second manipulation actions, so as to reduce the probability of mispairing. Specifically:

the second signal comprises a plurality of second sub-signals, wherein the plurality of second sub-signals are generated sequentially after the wireless transmitter is applied with a continuous second manipulation action; wherein the duration of the continuous second manipulation action is limited to a time d; d has a value of [0.5s,10s ].

The first receiver receives and pairs the second signal, specifically including:

the wireless transmitter generating a corresponding plurality of second sub-signals in response to the applied successive second steering actions;

the first receiver receives a plurality of second sub-signals and judges whether the distance information and the identification information carried in each second sub-signal are qualified or not; if all the second sub-signals are in the second designated range and the second identification information is the same, the second sub-signals are considered to be qualified and stored to finish pairing; otherwise, pairing is rejected due to not conforming to the desired pairing operation of the first receiver.

In a specific example, the second manipulation is a short-press operation applied to a certain key of the wireless transmitter, and the second specified manipulation further includes a plurality of short-press operations applied to a certain key of the wireless transmitter.

Further by way of example, the second designated manipulation includes three short presses of a key applied to the wireless transmitter.

In the specific pairing process, the user needs to continuously press a certain key of the wireless transmitter for three times in a to-be-paired stage of the first receiver, so as to trigger the first receiver to store corresponding second identification information to complete pairing.

The first receiver further has an indicator light, wherein the illumination of the indicator light to the outside may indicate one or more information to the outside, for example, may indicate a state of the first receiver, for example, indicate a change in an operating state of the first receiver, and further for example, indicate a change in a pairing state of the first receiver.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, in the stage to be paired of the first receiver, the indicator light is controlled to emit light with a specific rule, and after pairing is completed, the indicator light stops emitting light or emits light with another rule to prompt the user.

Referring to fig. 4, for the control and control process after pairing is completed, the processing method further includes:

and S5, after the first receiver finishes pairing, the wireless transmitter (the wireless transmitter which finishes pairing with the first receiver) transmits a control signal within a distance from the third specified range of the first receiver.

S6, the first receiver receives the control signal, wherein a first action is performed in response to the control signal when the first receiver is in a first state of at least two working states, and a second action is performed in response to the control signal when the first receiver is in a second state of at least two working states; wherein the first state and the second state are different, and the first action and the second action are different; the third specified range is at least two times greater than the second specified range.

Furthermore, based on the difference of the current working states of the first receiver, the wireless transmitter can control different functions of the first receiver, so that the multiplexing rate of keys of the wireless transmitter is improved, and the number of keys is reduced. And the effective distance (namely the third specified range) of the control signal is larger than the effective distance (namely the second specified range) of the trigger pairing, so that the purposes of small-range trigger pairing and large-range control are realized.

Specifically, the determination of the current operating state of the first receiver may be performed by the wireless transmitter or by the first receiver. When the first action is completed by the wireless transmitter, the control signal for controlling the first receiver to execute the first action and the control signal for controlling the first receiver to execute the second action, which are sent by the wireless transmitter, can be different, so that the first receiver does not need to judge the working state after receiving the control signal, and directly executes the corresponding action according to the indication of the control signal; when done by the first receiver, the control signal sent by the wireless transmitter for controlling the first receiver to perform the first action and the control signal for controlling the first receiver to perform the second action may be identical, i.e. the task of judging the control result to which the control signal is directed is done by the first receiver. These two embodiments will be described below:

When the wireless transmitter judges the working state of the first receiver, the embodiment is as follows:

the wireless transmitter records the current working state of the first receiver, and when receiving corresponding control, compiles a corresponding control signal based on the current working state of the first receiver; and after the first receiver receives the control signal, executing corresponding actions according to the indication of the control signal.

Specifically, the wireless transmitter stores a status flag, the status flag is used for representing the current working state of the first receiver, when the working state of the first receiver is changed, the status flag is changed, and when the wireless transmitter receives corresponding control, a corresponding control signal is compiled according to the status flag.

In a specific example, the first receiver is configured to control a lamp, and the status flags may be, for example, 0 and 1, where 1 indicates that the lamp controlled by the first receiver is in an on state, and 0 indicates that the lamp controlled by the first receiver is in an off state.

When the wireless transmitter receives the short press operation, judging a state mark firstly, if the state mark is 0, transmitting a control signal for controlling the first receiver to turn on a lamp, and simultaneously changing the locally stored state mark into 1 by the wireless transmitter; if the status flag is 1, a control signal is sent to control the first receiver to turn off the light, and the wireless transmitter changes the locally stored status flag to 0.

When the wireless transmitter receives long-press control, judging a state mark firstly, if the state mark is 0, transmitting a control signal for adjusting the color temperature of the lamp, and simultaneously changing the locally stored state mark into 1 by the wireless transmitter; if the status flag is 1, a signal for adjusting the brightness of the lamp is sent, and meanwhile, the wireless transmitter changes the locally stored status flag to 0.

Further, the wireless transmitter also records the current brightness value and/or the color temperature value of the lamp, when the long-time press operation is received, the transmitted control signal carries a parameter value for indicating the color temperature and/or the brightness, and the parameter value is an absolute value of the color temperature and/or the brightness, so that the first receiver adjusts the color temperature and/or the brightness of the lamp to the absolute value after receiving the control signal, and the problem of asynchronous adjustment caused by adopting a relative value mode is avoided.

In particular, when a long press operation is applied to the wireless transmitter, the wireless transmitter will first read the locally stored brightness value/color temperature value, and if the long press operation is continued, the brightness/color temperature control signals are periodically transmitted in a specified time period, and the difference between the brightness value/color temperature values pointed by two adjacent control signals is 5% -20%.

Further, for example, the specified time may be 500ms, and the brightness value/color temperature value difference pointed by two adjacent control signals is 10%. The wireless transmitter continuously transmits control signals for controlling the brightness/color temperature of the lamp in a period of 500ms during the long press operation, and the brightness value/color temperature value difference between every two adjacent control signals is 10%. And after the first receiver receives the corresponding control signal, the brightness/color temperature of the lamp is directly regulated to the brightness value/color temperature value pointed by the control signal.

When the first receiver judges the working state, the embodiment is as follows:

and after receiving the control signal, the first receiver judges the working state of the first receiver, wherein when the first receiver is in a first state of at least two working states, the first receiver responds to the control signal to execute a first action, and when the first receiver is in a second state of at least two working states, the second receiver responds to the control signal to execute a second action.

In a specific example, the first receiver is configured to control a lamp, when the wireless transmitter receives the short press operation, the first receiver sends a control signal for controlling the first receiver to turn on/off a lamp, after receiving the control signal, the first receiver first determines its own working state, if the current lamp is in a lighting state, the lamp is turned off in response to the control signal, and if the current lamp is in a turning-off state, the lamp is turned on in response to the control signal. When the wireless transmitter receives the long-press control, a control signal for adjusting the color temperature/brightness of the first receiver is sent, the first receiver firstly judges the working state of the first receiver after receiving the control signal, if the current lamp is in a lighting state, the brightness is adjusted according to the control signal, and if the current lamp is in a blanking state, the color temperature is adjusted according to the control signal.

Further, the first receiver in this embodiment will change the control result of the same control signal sent by the wireless transmitter according to the difference of its current operation state. In other words, in this embodiment, the control result pointed by the control signal sent by the wireless transmitter is not determined, and the control of which function is specifically implemented by the control result depends on the current working state of the first receiver, which is determined by the first receiver. And then transfer the judgement task of what kind of function is carried out to first receiver end, wireless transmitter only need send a control signal can, this control signal can be produced by a button, and then realized a plurality of functions of button control first receiver of wireless transmitter, be favorable to reducing the button quantity of wireless transmitter end, improve the multiplexing rate of button.

In addition, the first receiver has the function of slowly turning on/off when the lamp is controlled to be turned on/off by the first receiver. Specifically, when the first receiver controls the lamp to switch from the off state to the on state, the brightness/color temperature is gradually (for example, within 2 seconds) adjusted from 0 to the brightness value/color temperature value memorized when the lamp is turned off last time. When the first receiver controls the lamp to switch from the on state to the off state, the brightness value is gradually reduced to 0 (for example, within 1.5 seconds). Further, the smoothness of the lamp turning on/off process is increased.

Referring to fig. 5 and 6, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a processing method suitable for a wireless transmitter. The processing method provided in the present embodiment is applicable to the wireless transmitter in the above-described lighting control system.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 5, the processing method is applied to a wireless transmitter, where the processing method at least includes:

a1, responding to a first designated control to send out a first signal; the first signal is for: triggering the first receiver to receive and respond to the first signal to enter a phase to be paired, and keeping the phase to be paired for at least a time before the pairing is completed.

A2, in a phase to be paired of the first receiver, responding to a second designated control to send a second signal; the second signal is used to trigger the first receiver to pair.

And if the second signal is sent in the non-pairing stage of the first receiver, the pairing is refused by the first receiver due to the fact that the expected pairing time of the first receiver is not met.

In addition, considering that the user needs to confirm whether to pair in the pairing stage, the value of a needs to ensure that the user has a confirmation time, and meanwhile, if the user needs to use the first receiver in time, the time a in the pairing stage cannot be too long, and comprehensively considered that the value of a in the embodiment is [3 seconds, 30 minutes ]. For example, the value of a may be 30 seconds, that is, the first receiver enters the to-be-paired stage after receiving the first signal, and keeps the to-be-paired stage for 30 seconds before the pairing is successful, and exits the to-be-paired stage if no pairing is completed after 30 seconds. If pairing is completed within 30 seconds, the pairing is not completed by waiting for 30 seconds, but the to-be-paired stage is immediately exited after the pairing is completed.

Furthermore, based on the above-mentioned scheme, in the processing method provided by the embodiment, the wireless transmitter can wirelessly trigger the first receiver to enter the pairing, so that the first receiver is conveniently triggered to enter the pairing by the wireless transmitter when the first receiver is installed at a position inconvenient to operate or in an environment inconvenient to power-off and restart. In the pairing process, the wireless transmitter triggers the first receiver to enter a to-be-paired stage through the first signal, and after the to-be-paired stage is confirmed by a user, the wireless transmitter triggers the first receiver to pair through the second signal. Wherein the first receiver remains in the phase to be paired for a time to enable the user to confirm the current pairing process.

In some embodiments, the processing method further comprises:

transmitting a third signal in response to a third specified manipulation such that:

a second receiver, having completed pairing with the wireless transmitter and a range within the first specified range, exits the entered phase to be paired in response to a third signal.

Wherein the second receiver enters the phase to be paired in response to a first signal sent by a wireless transmitter that has not established pairing with the second receiver in response to a first designated manipulation.

Further, if the wireless transmitter has already been paired with the second receiver, the wireless transmitter can trigger the second receiver to exit the phase to be paired through the third signal when the second receiver is triggered to enter the phase to be paired. That is, if the user confirms that pairing is not required in the pairing stage of the second receiver (for example, the second receiver is wrongly paired or is triggered to be paired by a wireless transmitter in a neighboring house), the second receiver may be triggered to exit the pairing stage by the wireless transmitter already paired with the second receiver, so as to terminate the pairing process.

Therefore, in combination with the value of a being [3 seconds, 30 minutes ] in the above embodiment, the presence of the phase to be paired enables the user to determine whether the current pairing is the desired pairing, and to prevent timely when the current pairing is not the desired pairing. Compared with the method that the wireless transmitter transmits the pairing signal and then the receiver directly performs pairing, the segmented pairing method adopted by the embodiment is obviously more reasonable and safer.

In addition, the first specified manipulation, the second specified manipulation and the third specified manipulation each comprise at least one pressing action of at least one key applied to the wireless transmitter, and in order to facilitate distinguishing the specified manipulations, the third specified manipulation is different from the first specified manipulation and/or the second specified manipulation in at least one of the following operation parameters: number of presses, duration of press. In a specific example, the third specified manipulation may be, for example, a short press of an arbitrary key, and the second specified manipulation and/or the first specified manipulation may be, for example, a multiple press of an arbitrary key.

In some embodiments, the first signal carries distance information and first identification information, where the first identification information is used to characterize a wireless transmitter that transmits the first signal, and the distance information is used to characterize a distance value between the wireless transmitter corresponding to the first signal and the first receiver.

The first signal is further used for triggering the first receiver to judge whether the first signal meets a preset rule, and if yes, a phase to be paired is entered; otherwise, the entry into the phase to be paired is refused due to not conforming to the desired pairing operation of the first receiver.

Wherein the preset rules include at least one of the following first rules and second rules:

first rule: the distance value obtained directly or indirectly according to the distance information carried in the first signal is in a second specified range, wherein the second specified range is a range within b meters from the first receiver, and the value of b is [0.3,2], so that the pairing distance is controlled (limited), and false triggering between a production workshop or a neighborhood is prevented. Specifically, the pairing distance b may be limited to about 0.5 meters. For the second specified range in the first rule, the embodiment further defines that the first specified range is at least two times larger than the second specified range, where the first specified range is used to limit the effective control distance of the third signal, so that the effective distance for terminating the pairing of the first receiver is far larger than the effective distance for triggering the first receiver to enter the to-be-paired stage, that is, the user needs to make the wireless transmitter closer to the first receiver to prevent the other receivers from being triggered by mistake when the user performs pairing, and when the user terminates pairing of the first receiver, the third signal can be sent at a far distance to achieve the effects of triggering pairing in a small range and terminating pairing in a large range.

A second rule: the first identification information carried in the first signal is not stored in the first receiver. Furthermore, based on the second rule, the wireless transmitter cannot trigger the first receiver to enter the pairing if the wireless transmitter has already been paired with the first receiver, and only the first receiver not paired with the wireless transmitter can be triggered by the first signal of the wireless transmitter to enter the phase to be paired.

In a specific example, the first rule and the second rule may be required to be satisfied simultaneously. The first receiver determines that the corresponding first signal is qualified to trigger the pairing signal under the condition that the first rule and the second rule are both satisfied before the pairing is entered, and then enters a stage to be paired, so that the purpose that the wireless transmitter sends the first signal to the paired first receiver in a smaller range of the second designated range to trigger the first receiver to enter the pairing is achieved.

In some embodiments, to increase the difficulty of triggering a pairing to reduce the probability of false triggering, the first signal is divided into a series of first sub-signals, each generated by multiple pressing actions. Specifically: the first signals consist of a plurality of identical or different first sub-signals, each first sub-signal carries own distance information and first identification information, and the first specified control comprises pressing actions applied to a key of the wireless transmitter for a plurality of times in time c; the value of c is [0.5 seconds, 10 seconds ].

In step A1, a first signal is sent in response to a first specified manipulation, which specifically includes:

a11, generating a first sub-signal in response to each of the plurality of pressing actions applied within the time c to transmit the plurality of consecutively generated first sub-signals to the outside.

Specifically, multiple pressing actions can be applied to the same key of the wireless transmitter or different keys, and the duration of each pressing action can be the same or different, so that first sub-signals generated by multiple pressing actions can be the same or different, the operation difficulty of the first signal generation and the richness of signal composition are increased, and the safety is improved.

And then based on the present embodiment:

The first receiver receives three continuous short pressing first sub-signals and one long pressing first sub-signal, verifies that the distance values corresponding to the distance information carried in all the first sub-signals are in a second range, and the first identification information is identical and is not paired, and enters a to-be-paired stage.

Transmitting a second signal in response to the second designated manipulation, comprising:

generating a corresponding plurality of second sub-signals in response to the applied successive second manipulation actions; each second sub-signal is used for triggering the first receiver to judge whether the distance information and the identification information carried in each second sub-signal are qualified or not; if all the second sub-signals are in the second designated range and the second identification information is the same, the second sub-signals are considered to be qualified and stored to finish pairing; otherwise, pairing is rejected due to not conforming to the desired pairing operation of the first receiver.

Referring to fig. 6, for the control and control process after pairing is completed, the processing method further includes:

a3, after the first receiver finishes pairing, transmitting a control signal within a distance from a third appointed range of the first receiver; the control signal is used for triggering the first receiver to respond to the control signal to execute a first action when the first receiver is in a first state of at least two working states, and responding to the control signal to execute a second action when the first receiver is in a second state of at least two working states.

Furthermore, based on the difference of the current working states of the first receiver, the wireless transmitter can control different functions of the first receiver, so that the multiplexing rate of keys of the wireless transmitter is improved, and the number of keys is reduced. The effective distance (i.e. the third specified range) of the control signal is larger than the effective distance (i.e. the second specified range) of the trigger pairing, so as to achieve the purposes of small-range trigger pairing and large-range control.

Specifically, the wireless transmitter records the current working state of the first receiver, and when receiving corresponding control, compiles a corresponding control signal based on the current working state of the first receiver; and after the first receiver receives the control signal, executing corresponding actions according to the indication of the control signal.

In a specific example, the wireless transmitter stores a status flag, where the status flag is used to represent a current working state of the first receiver, the status flag is changed when the working state of the first receiver is changed, and when the wireless transmitter receives the corresponding control, a corresponding control signal is compiled according to the status flag.

Further for example, the first receiver is configured to control a light fixture, the status flags may be, for example, 0 and 1, where 1 indicates that the light fixture controlled by the first receiver is in an on state and 0 indicates that the light fixture controlled by the first receiver is in an off state.

Further, the receiver may be configured to control a brightness and/or a color temperature of a light fixture, the first state may be one of a turned-on state and a turned-off state of the light fixture, and the second state may be the other of the turned-on state and the turned-off state of the light fixture; the first action may be to adjust one of the brightness and the color temperature of the luminaire and the second action may be to adjust the other of the brightness and the color temperature of the luminaire.

Further, the control signal sent by the wireless transmitter carries a parameter value for indicating color temperature and/or brightness, and the parameter value is an absolute value of the color temperature and/or brightness, so that after the first receiver receives the control signal, the color temperature and/or brightness of the lamp is adjusted to the absolute value, and the problem of asynchronous adjustment caused by adopting a relative value form is avoided.

Referring to fig. 7 and 8, in order to provide a processing method suitable for a wireless transmitter according to the above embodiment, an embodiment of the present invention provides a processing apparatus suitable for a wireless transmitter. The processing device provided in this embodiment is suitable for the wireless transmitter in the lighting control system described above.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 7, the processing device includes at least:

A trigger module 10 for issuing a first signal in response to a first specified manipulation; the first signal is for: triggering the first receiver to receive and respond to the first signal to enter a phase to be paired, and keeping the phase to be paired for at least a time before the pairing is completed.

A pairing module 11, configured to send a second signal in response to a second specified manipulation during a phase to be paired of the first receiver; the second signal is used to trigger the first receiver to pair.

In some embodiments, the processing device further comprises:

the unpaired module is used for responding to a third specified manipulation to send a third signal so that:

In some embodiments, the first specified manipulation, the second specified manipulation, and the third specified manipulation each comprise at least one pressing action of at least one key applied to the wireless transmitter, and the third specified manipulation is different from the first specified manipulation and/or the second specified manipulation by at least one of the following operation parameters: number of presses, duration of press, press position.

first rule: the distance value obtained directly or indirectly according to the distance information carried in the first signal is in a second specified range, wherein the second specified range is a range within b meters from the first receiver, the value of b is [0.3,2], and the first specified range is at least two times larger than the second specified range.

In some embodiments, the first signal is composed of a plurality of identical or different first sub-signals, each of which carries own distance information and first identification information, and the first specified manipulation includes a pressing action applied to a key of the wireless transmitter for a plurality of times within a time c; the value of c is [0.5 seconds, 10 seconds ].

Further, the triggering module specifically includes:

and a trigger unit for generating a first sub-signal in response to each of a plurality of pressing actions applied during the time c to transmit a plurality of first sub-signals generated consecutively to the outside.

Further:

Referring to fig. 8, for the control and control process after pairing is completed, the processing apparatus further includes:

a control module 12, configured to send a control signal within a distance from the first receiver within a third specified range after the first receiver completes pairing; the control signal is used for triggering the first receiver to respond to the control signal to execute a first action when in a first state of at least two working states, and responding to the control signal to execute a second action when in a second state of at least two working states; wherein the first state and the second state are different, and the first action and the second action are different; the third specified range is at least two times greater than the second specified range.

Referring to fig. 9 and 10, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a processing method suitable for a receiver. The processing method provided in the present embodiment is applicable to the receiver in the illumination control system described above.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 9, the processing method is applied to the receiver, where the processing method at least includes:

h1, receiving a first signal;

h2, responding to the first signal, entering a phase to be paired, and keeping the phase to be paired for at least a time before the pairing is completed; wherein the first signal is sent by a wireless transmitter in response to a first specified maneuver;

H3, in the phase to be paired, receiving a second signal, and responding to the second signal for pairing; wherein the second signal is transmitted by the wireless transmitter in response to a second designated maneuver;

if the second signal is received in the non-pairing stage, the pairing is refused because the expected pairing time is not met.

In addition, considering that the user needs to confirm whether to pair in the pairing stage, the value of a needs to ensure that the user has a confirmation time, and meanwhile, if the user needs to use the receiver in time, the time a in the pairing stage cannot be too long, and comprehensively considered that the value of a in the embodiment is [3 seconds, 30 minutes ]. For example, the value of a may be 30 seconds, that is, the receiver enters the to-be-paired stage after receiving the first signal, and keeps the to-be-paired stage for 30 seconds before the pairing is successful, and exits the to-be-paired stage if no pairing is completed after 30 seconds. If pairing is completed within 30 seconds, the pairing is not completed by waiting for 30 seconds, but the to-be-paired stage is immediately exited after the pairing is completed.

Furthermore, based on the above-mentioned scheme, in the processing method provided by the embodiment, the pairing of the receiver is triggered by the wireless signal of the wireless transmitter, so that the receiver is conveniently triggered to enter the pairing by the wireless transmitter when being installed at a position inconvenient to operate or in an environment inconvenient to power-off and restart. And in the pairing process, the first receiver firstly enters a to-be-paired stage based on the first signal of the wireless transmitter, and after the to-be-paired stage is confirmed by the user, the first receiver is paired based on the second signal of the wireless transmitter. Wherein the receiver remains in the phase to be paired for a time to enable the user to confirm the current pairing process.

In some embodiments, the processing method further comprises:

Further, when the receiver is triggered into the phase to be paired, the receiver can be triggered to exit the phase to be paired by a third signal of the wireless transmitter with which the pairing has been completed. That is, if the user confirms that pairing is not required in the pairing stage of the receiver (for example, the receiver is wrongly paired or is triggered to be paired by a wireless transmitter in a neighboring house), the receiver can be triggered to exit the pairing stage by the wireless transmitter already paired with the receiver, so as to terminate the pairing process.

In addition, the first specified control, the second specified control and the third specified control all comprise at least one pressing action of at least one key applied to the wireless transmitter, and in order to distinguish the controls, the third specified control is different from the first specified control and/or the second specified control in at least one of the following operation parameters: number of presses, duration of press, press position.

In some embodiments, the first signal carries distance information and first identification information, where the first identification information is used to characterize a wireless transmitter that transmits the first signal, and the distance information is used to characterize a distance value between the wireless transmitter and the receiver;

then before entering the phase to be paired, further comprising:

first rule: the distance value obtained directly or indirectly according to the distance information carried in the first signal is in a second specified range, wherein the second specified range is a range within b meters from the receiver, and the value of b is [0.3,2], so that the pairing distance is controlled (limited), and false triggering between production workshops or neighbors is prevented. Specifically, the pairing distance b may be limited to about 0.5 meters. For the second specified range in the first rule, the first specified range is further defined to be at least two times larger than the second specified range, where the first specified range is used to limit the effective control distance of the third signal, so that the effective distance for terminating the pairing of the receivers is far larger than the effective distance for triggering the receivers to enter the to-be-paired stage, that is, the user needs to close the wireless transmitter to the receivers to prevent the other receivers from being triggered by mistake during pairing, and when the user terminates the pairing of the receivers, the third signal can be sent at a far distance to achieve the effects of triggering the pairing in a small range and terminating the pairing in a large range.

A second rule: the first identification information carried in the first signal is not stored in the receiver. Furthermore, based on the second rule, a wireless transmitter that has been paired with a receiver cannot trigger the receiver to enter a phase to be paired, and only wireless transmitters that have not been paired with a receiver can trigger the receiver to enter a phase to be paired.

In a specific example, the first rule and the second rule may be required to be satisfied simultaneously. The receiver judges that the corresponding first signal is qualified triggering pairing signal only when judging that the first rule and the second rule are satisfied before entering pairing, and then enters a stage to be paired.

In some embodiments, to increase the difficulty of triggering a pairing to reduce the probability of false triggering, the first signal is divided into a series of first sub-signals, each generated by multiple pressing actions. Specifically:

And then based on the present embodiment:

In some embodiments, the second signal includes second identification information therein, the second identification information characterizing a wireless transmitter that transmitted the second signal; pairing in response to the second signal, further comprising: and receiving the second signal and storing second identification information carried in the second signal to complete pairing.

In a specific example, if the wireless transmitter corresponding to the first identification information is the same as the wireless transmitter corresponding to the second identification information, the wireless transmitter that triggers the receiver to enter the phase to be paired and the wireless transmitter paired with the receiver are the same wireless transmitter. If the wireless transmitter corresponding to the first identification information is different from the wireless transmitter corresponding to the second identification information, the wireless transmitter which triggers the receiver to enter the phase to be paired and the wireless transmitter which is paired with the receiver are different wireless transmitters.

The second signal further comprises: a plurality of second sub-signals generated after successive second steering actions applied by the wireless transmitter. After receiving each second sub-signal, the receiver judges whether the distance information and the identification information carried in each second sub-signal are qualified or not; if all the second sub-signals are in the second designated range and the second identification information is the same, the second sub-signals are considered to be qualified and stored to finish pairing; otherwise, pairing is rejected due to not conforming to the desired pairing operation of the first receiver.

And in the specific pairing process, the user needs to continuously press a certain key of the wireless transmitter for three times in a to-be-paired stage of the receiver, so as to trigger the receiver to store corresponding second identification information to finish pairing.

Referring to fig. 10, for the control and control process after pairing is completed, the processing method further includes:

h4, after pairing is completed, receiving a control signal; the control signal is transmitted by the wireless transmitter within a distance from the receiver of a third specified range.

H5, when in a first state of at least two working states, responding to the control signal to execute a first action, and when in a second state of at least two working states, responding to the control signal to execute a second action; wherein the first state and the second state are different, and the first action and the second action are different; the third specified range is at least two times greater than the second specified range.

Further, for example, the first receiver is configured to control a light fixture, and the status flags may be, for example, 0 and 1, wherein 1 indicates that the light fixture controlled by the first receiver is in an on state, and 0 indicates that the light fixture controlled by the first receiver is in an off state;

When the wireless transmitter receives the short press operation, judging a state mark firstly, if the state mark is 0, transmitting a control signal for controlling the first receiver to turn on a lamp, and simultaneously changing the locally stored state mark into 1 by the wireless transmitter; if the state flag is 1, a control signal for controlling the first receiver to turn off the lamp is sent, and meanwhile, the wireless transmitter changes the locally stored state flag to 0;

Further, the control signal sent by the wireless transmitter carries a parameter value for indicating color temperature and/or brightness, and the parameter value is an absolute value of the color temperature and/or brightness, so that after the receiver receives the control signal, the color temperature and/or brightness of the lamp is adjusted to the absolute value, and the problem of asynchronous adjustment caused by adopting a relative value form is avoided.

Referring to fig. 11 and 12, in order to provide a processing method suitable for a receiver according to the above embodiment, an embodiment of the present invention provides a processing apparatus suitable for a receiver. The processing device provided in this embodiment is suitable for the receiver in the above-described illumination control system.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 11, the processing device includes at least:

a signal receiving module 20 for receiving the first signal;

a pre-pairing module 21, configured to enter a phase to be paired in response to the first signal, and keep the phase to be paired for at least a time before pairing is completed; wherein the first signal is sent by a wireless transmitter in response to a first specified maneuver;

a pairing module 22, configured to receive a second signal during the phase to be paired, and pair in response to the second signal; wherein the second signal is sent by the wireless transmitter in response to a second designated maneuver.

In some embodiments, the processing device further comprises:

the exit pairing module is used for responding to the third signal to exit the phase to be paired if the third signal is received in the phase to be paired; wherein a third signal is transmitted by a wireless transmitter that has completed pairing with the receiver within a first specified range from the receiver in response to a third specified maneuver.

In some embodiments, the first signal carries distance information and first identification information, where the first identification information is used to characterize a wireless transmitter that transmits the first signal, and the distance information is used to characterize a distance value between the wireless transmitter and the receiver.

The processing device further comprises a judging module, wherein the judging module is used for judging whether the first signal meets a preset rule before entering a phase to be paired, and if yes, entering the phase to be paired; otherwise, refusing to enter the phase to be paired due to the fact that the expected pairing operation is not met; wherein the preset rules include at least one of the following first rules and second rules:

Further:

And the second rule is that the first identification information carried in each first sub-signal is the same and is not stored in the receiver.

Referring to fig. 12, for the control and control process after pairing is completed, the processing apparatus further includes:

a pairing completion module 23, configured to receive a control signal after pairing is completed; the control signal is transmitted by the wireless transmitter within a distance from the receiver of a third specified range.

A controlled determination module 24 for performing a first action in response to the control signal when in a first one of the at least two operating states, and performing a second action in response to the control signal when in a second one of the at least two operating states; wherein the first state and the second state are different, and the first action and the second action are different; the third specified range is at least two times greater than the second specified range.

In addition, the distance information carried in the first signal or the second signal in the above embodiments may be, for example, an RSSI value. When triggering to enter pairing, the wireless transmitter can carry the RSSI value in a message corresponding to the transmitted first signal or second signal so as to facilitate the checking of the distance by the receiver.

In a specific example, the wireless transmitter transmits the wireless signal (the first signal or the second signal) outwards with a specified transmission power (for example, 10 dbm), and under the condition that the transmission power is constant, the farther the distance between the wireless transmitter and the first receiver is, the smaller the RSSI value is, and vice versa, the larger the RSSI value is.

In order to prevent confusion of control logic caused by that a plurality of wireless transmitters transmit control signals to the same receiver at the same time, in this embodiment, one receiver can only pair one wireless transmitter, and when a new wireless transmitter is successfully paired, the receiver will cover the original wireless transmitter (i.e. clear the identification information corresponding to the original wireless transmitter). The identification information may be understood as a data sequence for uniquely identifying the wireless transmitter, such as MAC address or ID information of the wireless transmitter.

In addition, in this embodiment, one wireless transmitter may be configured with multiple receivers at the same time, and when the multiple receivers are all within the pairing allowable range of the same wireless transmitter (i.e., within the second specified range), the multiple receivers may be triggered by one wireless transmitter to enter the stage to be paired and perform group configuration; when multiple receivers are not simultaneously within the pairing range of the wireless transmitter (i.e., within the second specified range), the receivers can be triggered one by the same wireless transmitter to perform corresponding pairing.
