  An example of the operation of the service gateway 10 configured as described above according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the operation of the service gateway 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention.

  In the embodiment of the present invention, a case where a person 30 is in a bathroom where a video indicating a disaster forecast is not seen and sound is difficult to hear and a shower is taken will be described below. In addition, the light control apparatus 5 shall be installed in the bathroom.

  First, when the disaster forecast information receiving unit 18 receives an earthquake early warning (S1), the illumination control unit 19 reads the dimming control information from the memory 12 in preparation for an earthquake to come (S2). The service gateway 10 may receive disaster forecast information such as breaking earthquake information, and at the same time, warn a person in the room that a disaster will come by smell or sound from the scent generator 8.

  Subsequently, the illumination control unit 19 controls the dimming drive unit 16 according to the read dimming control information, and causes the dimming device 5 to change the brightness to be brighter than the current brightness of the lighting fixture 5A (S3). Details of the control contents of the dimming control information are shown in FIG.

  The dimming control information describes how the dimming is controlled. According to the example shown in FIG. 4A, the illumination control unit 19 starts the dimming driving unit from the time when the bulletin is received. 16 is controlled to increase the brightness of the lighting fixture 5A by a certain amount.

Will start to flicker. Of course, the illumination may be turned off or turned on.

  Further, the lighting control unit 19 determines whether or not the person detection unit 17 has detected that the person 30 is in the bathroom, and when it is confirmed that the person 30 is in the bathroom, the lighting control unit 19 adjusts according to the read dimming control information. The light driving unit 16 may be controlled.

  Furthermore, when the disaster forecast information includes information indicating the predicted seismic intensity of the earthquake, the lighting control unit 19 determines the lighting fixture 5A according to the predicted seismic intensity when the disaster forecast information is received by the disaster forecast information receiving unit 18. You may make it control the light control drive part 16 to change the brightness of illumination.

  For example, there is a correspondence table for obtaining an increase in brightness corresponding to the predicted seismic intensity value, and the lighting control unit 19 may increment the current brightness according to the correspondence table. For example, the greater the predicted seismic intensity, the greater the amount of increment. If the predicted seismic intensity is equal to or less than a predetermined value, the illumination control unit 19 may not control the dimming drive unit 16.

  Thus, since the brightness of the lighting fixture 5A is changed according to the predicted seismic intensity, it can be determined whether the predicted seismic intensity is large enough to require an emergency, and even in a room where a disaster forecast such as a bathroom cannot be obtained. Evacuation activities can be performed appropriately.

  In the above example, although the form which controls the illumination of one room was demonstrated, the service gateway 10 can also control the illumination of several rooms individually. For example, when the disaster forecast information is received by the disaster forecast information receiving unit 18, the lighting control unit 19 adjusts the brightness to be brighter than the current brightness of the lighting fixture 5A according to the control information for each room shown in FIG. The optical drive unit 16 is controlled.

Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the room 9B and the room 9C are controlled by the pattern PB. The pattern PB is a control method according to the dimming control information described with reference to FIG. In the control information shown in FIG. 5, for example, a pattern corresponding to the person in the room is set in the room where the elderly person is present, such as a pattern that strongly notifies the elderly of the occurrence of the earthquake. It may be.

  In the embodiment of the present invention, it is assumed that the person 30 is in the bathroom and is taking a shower. However, the present invention is not limited to the bathroom and can be applied to various rooms such as a kitchen, a toilet, and a living room. . In the case of alarming in combination with a change in lighting, the service gateway 10 notifies disaster forecast information as a voice and a speaker to the display device 6 in consideration of a person with hearing or hearing impairment or an elderly person. You may make it display disaster forecast information or operate a gas leak sensor.

  As described above, according to the service gateway 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention, since the brightness is changed to be brighter than the current brightness of the lighting fixture 5A, it is possible to notify a disaster forecast in a situation where it is difficult to hear the voice. At the same time, by illuminating brighter than the current brightness, it is possible to evacuate safely while avoiding dangers such as tripping by obstacles. In addition, by flashing the illumination of the lighting fixture 5A, it is possible to give a strong notification to people in the room. Moreover, since the brightness of the lighting fixture is changed according to the predicted seismic intensity, it is possible to determine whether the predicted seismic intensity is large enough to require an emergency and to appropriately perform evacuation activities.
