[Embodiment]
Hereinafter, a device setting device and a device setting method in a lighting system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

  In the present embodiment, for example, the user desires an arbitrary lighting device such as a fluorescent lamp arranged on the ceiling (position above the space room) of a large room such as a library or a conference room. An illumination system that can be adjusted to light intensity will be described.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, this lighting system is roughly divided into a plurality of units arranged on the ceiling of a room and connected to a power supply source (for example, commercial power) 1 via an electrical wiring 2. Lighting device 3, a server-type lighting control device 4 for controlling the light intensity (expressed as candela Cd) emitted from each lighting device 3, and the on / off operation of each lighting device 3, and The switch controller 5 that can indicate the luminous intensity and the wattmeter 6 that can measure the total power consumption in each of the lighting devices 3, and the illumination controller 4, the switch controller 5, and the wattmeter 6 Are connected via a network line (also referred to as a data communication means or a data communication line, hereinafter referred to as a network) 7. In the present embodiment, in order to make the description easy to understand, each lighting device 3 does not autonomously control the light emission intensity, but the light emission intensity is set according to an instruction from the switch controller 5. 4 will be described as being controlled via 4. That is, the description will be made on the assumption that the instruction of the luminous intensity from the switch controller 5 is input to the illumination control device 4 and the luminous intensity of each lighting device 3 is controlled. Of course, in the autonomous distributed control type lighting system in which chip-type lighting control devices are arranged corresponding to the plurality of lighting devices 3, by switching the control system, each lighting device can be switched using the switch controller 5. 3 can be applied individually when the luminous intensity can be indicated. Note that the power consumption from the wattmeter 6 is input to the lighting control device 4 so that the luminous intensity and power consumption in each lighting device are appropriate when the lighting system is an autonomous distributed control type. .

  As the switch controller 5, for example, a touch panel type is used, and the arrangement form of the switch unit arranged on the display screen is the same (same) as the arrangement form of the lighting device 3 on the ceiling. Yes.

  That is, as shown in FIGS. 2 (a) and 2 (b), in the center of the touch panel (also a display screen) 5a in the switch controller 5, the same arrangement form as the plurality of lighting devices 3 installed on the ceiling is provided. Accordingly, a plurality of touch-type switch units 11 on which symbols indicating the lighting device 3 are displayed are arranged. More specifically, when the ceiling is viewed, the switch unit 11 is arranged on the display screen 5a with the arrangement form of the illumination apparatus 3 being reduced as it is, and therefore the illumination apparatus 3 and the switch are arranged. When a temporary identification number (hereinafter, referred to as a logical identification number) for distinguishing is added to the unit 11, both numbers are directly associated with each other. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, 15 lighting devices 3 are installed, and these lighting devices 3 have logical identification numbers L1 to L15, and the switch unit 11 has logical identification numbers S1 to S15. If it is attached, L1 is associated with S1, L2 with S2,..., L15 with S15. That is, when the logical identification number of the lighting device 3 arranged on the ceiling is known, the logical identification number of the switch unit 11 corresponding to this is known. 2A shows an arrangement form of the lighting device 3 on the ceiling, and FIG. 2B shows an arrangement form of the switch controller 5 on the touch panel 5a.

  In the switch controller 5, when the switch unit 11 is pressed, a pop-up menu M is opened so that the luminous intensity can be specified (changed) at intervals of 20%, for example. Of course, cases where the luminous intensity is 100% and 0% (which corresponds to so-called lighting and extinguishing) are also included. Note that a side portion of the touch panel 5a of the switch controller 5 includes a switch portion 12 for full lighting, a switch portion 13 for mode lighting for lighting in a specific lighting pattern, and the like.

  In addition, the lighting device 3 controls the supply voltage to the fluorescent lamp 3a based on the fluorescent light 3a as a light source and the light intensity value instructed from the switch unit 11 of the switch controller 5 via the lighting control device 4. It is comprised from the luminous intensity adjustment part (for example, an inverter etc. are used) 3b which adjusts the emitted light luminous intensity. Of course, a light source other than a fluorescent lamp, such as an incandescent lamp, may be used.

  By the way, in this lighting system, they are connected to each other via the network 7, in other words, the lighting device 3 and the switch unit 11 in the switch controller 5 are connected in a one-to-one relationship via electric wiring. Rather, they are associated with each other by a so-called network address (which is a unique number on the network, which can also be referred to as a physical identification number), and the switch unit 11 of the switch controller 5 is turned on / off, changed in luminous intensity, etc. It is necessary to issue this command via a network address. For this reason, a network address is assigned to each lighting device 3 and each switch unit 11 in advance.

  When starting up the lighting system, it is necessary to associate the network address of the switch unit 11 in the switch controller 5 with the network address of each lighting device 3 on a one-to-one basis. A device setting device 8 is provided for performing association using the logical identification number described above. In the following description, the network address is referred to as a physical identification number.

  Normally, the device setting device 8 is provided as a part of the function on the server-type lighting control device 4 side. However, in the present embodiment, as described above, the device setting device 8 controls the lighting. The description will be made assuming that the device 4 is provided separately.

  Furthermore, in this lighting system, when the device setting device 8 associates the lighting device 3 installed on the ceiling with the switch unit 11 provided in the switch controller 5, a photographing device such as a camera device is used. Used to automate the association work.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the device setting device 8 includes an operation instruction means 21 that can turn on or turn off all the lighting devices 3 simultaneously and arbitrarily one by one, and all the lighting devices installed on the ceiling. Each lighting device 3 photographed by inputting a photographed image obtained by photographing the camera 3 with a camera device (a digital camera such as a CCD camera) 26 is the same position on the switch controller 11 in the arrangement form of the switch unit 11. Can be recognized, that is, the logical identification numbers of the lighting devices 3 that are arbitrarily turned on or off one by one by the position recognizing means 22 and the operation instruction means 21 can be obtained. The number acquisition unit 23 to be associated with the logical identification number of the lighting device 3 acquired by the number acquisition unit 23 is associated with the physical identification number of the lighting device 3 that is turned on or off. A number writing means 24 for writing the ID correspondence table 25 for are provided.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the number association table 25 is, for example, a physical identification number of the lighting device 3 (specifically, an IP address when the network is the Internet. The logical identification for associating the logical identification number of the lighting device 3 provided corresponding to this number field and the position on the arrangement form recognized by turning on or off. It consists of a number column. The number writing means 24 and the number association table 25 constitute a number association means.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the position recognition means 22 receives a photographed image photographed by the camera device 26, performs predetermined image processing on the photographed image, and arranges the lighting devices 3 in the arrangement form. An image processing unit 31 that can detect the position of the lighting device 3 that is turned on or off, and a position on the arrangement form with respect to the lighting device 3 detected by the image processing unit 31 That is, a lighting device recognition unit 32 that can recognize (specify) each lighting device 3 by assigning a logical identification number is provided. Of course, when the position of the lighting device 3 is recognized by the lighting device recognizing unit 32, that is, when the logical identification number is known, the switch unit 11 provided in the corresponding switch controller 5 according to the same arrangement form. Can be found. In other words, based on the photographed image, the physical identification number of the lighting device 3 and the logical identification number of the switch unit 11 are associated with each other. Will be.

Next, a device setting method for associating the lighting device 3 with the switch unit 11 on the touch panel 5a will be described.
Normally, this associating work is performed after completion of the installation work of the lighting system, but is also performed when the lighting system is restarted or when a lighting device is newly added.

  Of course, as described above, a network address, that is, a physical identification number is set in advance in each of the switch units 11 arranged on the touch panel 5a of the installed lighting device 3 and the prepared switch controller 5. Yes. Hereinafter, the logical identification numbers of the lighting device 3 and the switch unit 11 will be described using the above-described L1 to L15 and S1 to S15.

In addition, when the association work is started, it is assumed that the camera device 26 is arranged on the floor surface below the lighting device 3.
In this state, first, all the lighting devices 3 are turned on by the operation instruction means 21.

  Next, the camera device 26 captures the entire ceiling, captures the captured image into the position recognition unit 22, and performs predetermined image processing (for example, edge detection processing) in the image processing unit 31, and all The position of the lighting device 3 is detected. That is, for each lighting device 3, logical identification numbers (L1 to L15) corresponding to the same arrangement form as the arrangement form of the switch unit 11 are recognized. Therefore, each lighting device 3 is associated with the logical identification number (S1 to S15) of the switch unit 11.

  Next, after any one lighting device 3 is turned off by the operation instruction means 21, the ceiling is again photographed by the camera device 26, and this photographed image is captured by the position recognition means 22 in the same manner as described above. Image processing is performed, and the position of the lighting device 3 that has been turned off is detected.

  Next, the logical acquisition numbers (L1 to L15) corresponding to the detected lighting device 3 are acquired by the number acquisition means 23, that is, the logical identification numbers (S1 to S15) of the switch unit 11 corresponding thereto. ) Is obtained.

  Then, the obtained logical identification number (S1 to S15) of the switch unit 11 is written into the number association table 25 by the number writing unit 24, and the physical identification number (1 to 15) of the lighting device 3 is written. Corresponds.

  By repeating this procedure for all lighting devices 3, the physical identification numbers of all lighting devices 3 and the physical identification numbers of all switch units 11, in other words, the network addresses are 1 each. Corresponding with one-to-one. Of course, after all the association data is obtained, this data may be written to the number association table 25 at a time.

  The obtained number association table, that is, the association data is stored in the data storage unit, and during normal illumination control, the switch controller 5 is turned on, turned off, and the light intensity is changed. Referenced when instructing.

  In the above description, it has been described that all the lighting devices 3 are photographed at once by the camera device 26. However, when the area is large, naturally, the photographing range is divided and each divided photographing range is divided. The one-to-one correspondence of the network address between the lighting device and the switch unit is performed.

In the above description, the position recognition unit 22 and the number acquisition unit 23 are provided separately. However, the number acquisition unit 23 may be included in the function of the position recognition unit 22.
In the above description, when the physical identification numbers of the lighting device and the switch unit are associated with each other, the logical identification number is assigned to both the lighting device and the switch unit, but this is explained. This is because the description is logically performed. For example, even if a logical identification number assigned to one of the two is used, the two can be associated with each other. For example, a logical identification number is assigned to the lighting device having the same arrangement form as the switch unit arrangement form, and the logical identification number of the lighting device and the physical identification number of the lighting device on the captured image of the lighting device are set. By making a one-to-one correspondence, the physical identification number of the switch unit and the physical identification number of the lighting device can be made to correspond one-to-one via the logical identification number of the lighting device.

In the above description, the lighting devices are arbitrarily turned off one by one, but may be performed one by one in a predetermined order, for example.
In the above description, the positions of the lighting devices are recognized by turning off the lighting devices one by one with all the lighting devices turned on. In addition, the position of the lighting device may be recognized by turning it on one by one.

  Furthermore, the position can also be recognized by changing the luminous intensity one by one in the state where all the lights are turned on or off. It should be noted that the change of the luminous intensity is also performed by the operation instruction means, and therefore, the phrase “lighting” includes the meaning of “changing the luminous intensity”.

Here, the above-described association procedure, that is, the main part of the device setting method is described in a step format.
That is, this device setting method is a panel type switch provided with a plurality of lighting devices arranged in a predetermined arrangement form and a plurality of switch units arranged in the same arrangement form as the arrangement form of each of these lighting devices. And a physical identification number assigned to each lighting device in a lighting system in which these devices are connected to each other via a network line, and a physical number assigned to a switch unit of the switch controller. A device setting method for associating with an identification number on a one-to-one basis,
At least a plurality of lighting devices in a predetermined range are photographed by the camera device, and each lighting device detected in the photographed image is given a logical identification number corresponding to each switch unit in the switch controller, thereby illuminating A position recognition step for recognizing the position of the device;

A number associating step of associating the physical identification number of the lighting device that has been turned on or off with the physical identification number of the switch unit on a one-to-one basis via the acquired logical identification number of the lighting device. It is the method.

  Note that each of the above-described means and each of the constituent parts constituting each of the means are executed by a program, for example, and can also be referred to as a function part, and in some cases, a circuit that can exhibit each function. It can also be configured as a part.

  In this way, by simply photographing a plurality of lighting devices connected by a network line with a photographing device, the physical identification number between the lighting device and its switch unit, so-called network address, is automatically handled with a one-to-one correspondence. For example, compared with the case where an operator examines both addresses on a network line and associates each other with each other, the operator visually turns on lighting devices in turn. Compared to the case where the network addresses of both are associated with each other, the lighting device and the switch unit can be associated with each other extremely easily and quickly, and thus the lighting system can be quickly started up. In particular, the effect increases as the number of installed lighting devices increases.

  By the way, in the said embodiment, although it demonstrated that a camera apparatus was used and matched with an illuminating device and a switch part, it illuminates one by one by an apparatus setting apparatus without using a camera apparatus. Switch on or off the device, and press the switch on the touch panel (having the same positional relationship) that corresponds to the lighting device that has been turned on or off, and the switch corresponding to the lighting device that is turned on or off on the device setting device side By informing the unit, the physical identification number of the switch unit may be associated with the physical identification number of the lighting device on a one-to-one basis.

A schematic configuration of the device setting device and the device setting method in this case is shown below.

  According to this device setting apparatus and device setting method, in order to associate the identification numbers on the network line of the switch unit in the lighting device and the switch controller connected by the network line, When the light is turned off, the switch unit corresponding to the position of the lighting device is automatically acquired by simply pressing the switch unit corresponding to the lighting device. Compared with the case where the two are associated with each other while checking both the identification numbers, for example, the network address, the lighting device and the switch unit can be associated with each other in a one-to-one manner extremely easily and quickly.
