[Configuration of lighting system]
1 is a configuration diagram of an illumination system according to Embodiment 1. FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the lighting system 1 includes a lighting setting device 10, a controller 20, and a lighting fixture 30. In the present embodiment, lighting system 1 includes a plurality of lighting fixtures 30a to 30d. In the lighting system 1, the lighting setting device 10 performs settings related to the lighting state of the lighting fixture 30, and the controller 20 controls the lighting fixture 30 according to the information set by the lighting setting device 10.

  The lighting setting device 10 performs setting for changing the dimming rate, for example, as the lighting state of each lighting fixture 30. The information set by the illumination setting device 10 is stored in, for example, a storage unit (not shown) included in the illumination setting device 10. The illumination setting device 10 transmits the set information to the controller 20 via, for example, a communication unit (not shown) included in the illumination setting device 10. The illumination setting device 10 communicates with the controller 20 wirelessly, for example, but may communicate with a wire. The illumination setting device 10 includes an acquisition unit 11, a schedule generation unit 12, an allocation unit 13, and a display unit 100. The illumination setting device 10 is, for example, a terminal device such as a portable terminal or a tablet, a remote controller, a PC (Personal Computer), or the like.

  The acquisition unit 11 acquires an address (real address) that the lighting fixture 30 has.

  The schedule generation unit 12 generates a schedule for changing the lighting state (for example, the dimming rate) of the lighting fixture 30 according to the time.

  The allocation unit 13 allocates the address acquired by the acquisition unit 11 to the schedule after the schedule generation unit 12 generates the schedule. Thereby, an address and a schedule are matched. Here, the information in which the address and the schedule are associated with each other by assigning the address to the schedule is referred to as information set by the lighting setting device 10.

  Operations performed by the acquisition unit 11, the schedule generation unit 12, and the allocation unit 13 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. The acquisition unit 11, the schedule generation unit 12, and the allocation unit 13 are realized by, for example, a processor (not shown) included in the illumination setting device 10.

  The display unit 100 displays a schedule icon 101 indicating the schedule generated by the schedule generation unit 12 and an address icon 102 indicating the address acquired by the acquisition unit 11. The display unit 100 is, for example, a touch panel display or a display. When the display unit 100 is a touch panel display, the icon displayed on the touch panel display is operated by, for example, a user's finger or a touch pen. When the display unit 100 is a display, an icon displayed on the display is operated by an input device such as a mouse connected to the illumination setting device 10, for example. In the following, it is assumed that the display unit 100 is a display, and icons displayed on the display are operated by a mouse, for example. In addition, the operation | movement corresponding to the display of the icon on the display part 100 and the operation from the user which the display part 100 received is implement | achieved by the processor with which the illumination setting apparatus 10 is provided, for example. The operation of icons displayed on the display unit 100 will be described later.

Moreover, the address is randomly given to the lighting fixture 30, and the user cannot recognize the address which the lighting fixture 30 has by appearance. In addition, the lighting fixture 30 memorize | stores the provided address in the memory | storage part (not shown) which the lighting fixture 30 has, for example.

[Operation of lighting setting device]
Next, the operation of the illumination setting device 10 will be described.

  FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the illumination setting device 10 according to the first embodiment.

  First, the schedule production | generation part 12 produces | generates the schedule for changing the light control rate of the lighting fixture 30 according to time (S11). The schedule generated by the schedule generation unit 12 will be described in detail later with reference to FIG. After step S11, the construction of the lighting fixture 30 is completed. That is, the schedule generation unit 12 generates a schedule before construction of the lighting fixture 30 is started or in parallel with the construction of the lighting fixture 30.

  Next, the acquisition part 11 acquires the address which the lighting fixture 30 has (S12). Specifically, the acquisition unit 11 acquires the address of the lighting fixture 30 after the construction of the lighting fixture 30 is completed. For example, the acquisition unit 11 acquires the address of the lighting fixture 30 via the controller 20. However, as described above, it is assumed that the user does not recognize which address each of the lighting fixtures 30 has. A method for confirming the address of each of the lighting fixtures 30 will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

  Next, the assigning unit 13 sets the address acquired by the acquiring unit 11 after the schedule generating unit 12 generates the schedule (in other words, after the construction of the lighting fixture 30 is completed) to the schedule generated by the schedule generating unit 12. Assign (S13).

  Thus, the lighting setting device 10 generates a schedule in advance before the construction of the lighting fixture 30 is completed, and assigns an address to the schedule after the construction of the lighting fixture 30 is completed.

  In the present embodiment, specific operations in steps S11 to S13 are performed by operating an icon displayed on the display unit 100.

  First, the schedule generated by the schedule generation unit 12 in step S11 will be described in detail.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of a schedule generated by the schedule generation unit 12 according to the first embodiment. The display unit 100 displays a schedule generation icon 111 and an address acquisition icon 112. The address acquisition icon 112 will be described later with reference to FIG. In the present embodiment, for example, two schedules (schedule 1 and schedule 2) are generated. As shown in FIG. 3, for example, in the schedule 1, the lighting fixture 30 has a dimming rate of 50% from 0:00 to 12:00, a dimming rate of 70% from 12:00 to 20:00, and a dimming rate from 20:00 to 24:00 The light rate is controlled to 0%. Moreover, in the schedule 2, the lighting fixture 30 is controlled by the dimming rate 0% from 0:00 to 7:00, the dimming rate 80% from 7:00 to 17:00, and the dimming rate 60% from 17:00 to 24:00. . The schedule generated by the schedule generation unit 12 is displayed on the schedule generation screen of the display unit 100 in association with the schedule icon 101, for example. Specifically, in the present embodiment, a schedule icon 101a associated with schedule 1 and a schedule icon 101b associated with schedule 2 are displayed on the schedule generation screen of display unit 100.

  Note that the method by which the schedule generation unit 12 generates a schedule is not limited. For example, the schedule generation unit 12 may generate a schedule by operating (for example, clicking) the schedule generation icon 111 by the user. For example, when the schedule generation icon 111 is operated, a mode may be entered in which the number of schedules to be generated and the dimming rate for each time zone of each schedule are input, and the schedule may be generated. Moreover, the schedule production | generation part 12 may produce | generate a schedule by operating the bar-shaped icon as shown in FIG. 3 displayed on the schedule production | generation screen of the display part 100, for example.

  As described above, the schedule generation unit 12 generates a schedule. The schedule generated by the schedule generation unit 12 is stored in, for example, a storage unit included in the illumination setting device 10.

  Next, specific operations in steps S12 and S13 will be described with reference to FIGS.

  First, the operation in step S12 will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of display when an address is acquired on the display unit 100 according to the first embodiment.

  For example, the acquisition unit 11 acquires an address included in the lighting fixture 30 when the address acquisition icon 112 is operated (for example, clicked) by the user. As shown in FIG. 4, the display unit 100 displays an address icon 102 indicating the address acquired by the acquisition unit 11. However, as described above, the user does not recognize which address each of the lighting fixtures 30 has. Specifically, the display unit 100 displays the address icons 102a to 102d indicating the addresses 1 to 4 acquired by the acquiring unit 11, but the user selects which of the lighting devices 30a to 30d is one of the addresses 1 to 4. I don't know if I have an address. Here, the confirmation method of the address which each of the lighting fixture 30 has is demonstrated using FIG.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a method for confirming the address of the lighting fixture 30 according to the first embodiment. In FIG. 5, addresses that each of the lighting fixtures 30 have are described.

  For example, a method for confirming the lighting fixture 30 having the address 1 among the addresses 1 to 4 will be described.

  The lighting setting device 10 transmits a command for blinking the lighting fixture 30 having the address 1 to the controller 20. For example, when the user operates (for example, clicks) the address icon 102 a indicating the address 1 displayed on the display unit 100, the lighting setting device 10 transmits a command to blink the lighting fixture 30 having the address 1 to the controller 20. To do. And the controller 20 controls the lighting fixture 30 which has the address 1 to blink, and the lighting fixture 30b which has the address 1 blinks. Thereby, the user can know that the lighting fixture 30b has the address 1 by confirming blinking of the lighting fixture 30b. In other words, the user knows that the address icon 102a displayed on the display unit 100 is an icon indicating the address of the lighting fixture 30b.

  Similarly, it can be confirmed which lighting fixture 30 has addresses 2 to 4. As a result, the user knows that the lighting fixture 30a has an address 3, the lighting fixture 30c has an address 2, and the lighting fixture 30d has an address 4.

  Next, the operation in step S13 will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a state in which addresses according to the first embodiment are assigned to schedules.

  For example, the case where the lighting fixture 30b is controlled by the schedule 1 will be described. The lighting fixture 30b has an address 1, and the address 1 is associated with the address icon 102a. Schedule 1 is associated with the schedule icon 101a.

  The assigning unit 13 assigns the address 1 acquired by the acquiring unit 11 to the schedule 1 generated by the schedule generating unit 12. For example, when the user overlaps the address icon 102 a and the schedule icon 101 a displayed on the display unit 100, the assigning unit 13 assigns the address 1 acquired by the acquiring unit 11 to the schedule 1 generated by the schedule generating unit 12. Specifically, when the user places (drag and drop) the address icon 102a on the schedule icon 101a displayed on the schedule generation screen, the allocating unit 13 uses the address 1 acquired by the acquiring unit 11 as the schedule generating unit. 12 is assigned to schedule 1 generated. As a result, the address 1 and the schedule 1 are associated with each other.

  Similarly, schedules are assigned to addresses 2 to 4 as well.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of display when the address icon 102 and the schedule icon 101 overlap each other on the display unit 100 according to the first embodiment.

  For example, when the lighting fixtures 30a (address 3) and 30b (address 1) are controlled by the schedule 1, and the lighting fixtures 30c (address 2) and 30d (address 4) are controlled by the schedule 2, as shown in FIG. The user places each of the address icons 102 on the schedule icon 101 indicating a desired schedule.

  In this way, the address of the lighting fixture 30 acquired by the acquisition unit 11 is assigned to the schedule generated by the schedule generation unit 12.

  Then, the illumination setting device 10 transmits information set by the illumination setting device 10 based on the arrangement of icons operated by the user on the display unit 100 (information in which addresses and schedules are associated) to the controller 20. . Specifically, the lighting setting device 10 transmits information in which the addresses 1 and 3 are associated with the schedule 1 and information in which the addresses 2 and 4 are associated with the schedule 2 to the controller 20. Then, the controller 20 controls the lighting fixture 30a having the address 3 and the lighting fixture 30b having the address 1 by the schedule 1, and controls the lighting fixture 30c having the address 2 and the lighting fixture 30d having the address 4 by the schedule 2.

[Effects]
When constructing a plurality of lighting fixtures, there is a demand for setting different lighting states or different schedules for each lighting fixture having different installation locations. However, after the installation of the luminaire is completed, it is necessary to make a setting according to the place where the luminaire is installed, which takes time and effort.

  Therefore, the lighting setting device 10 according to the present embodiment includes a schedule generation unit 12 that generates a schedule for changing the lighting state of the lighting fixture 30 according to time, and an acquisition unit that acquires an address of the lighting fixture 30. 11 and an assigning unit 13 that assigns the address acquired by the acquiring unit 11 to the schedule after the schedule generating unit 12 generates the schedule.

  The illumination system 1 according to the present embodiment includes the illumination setting device 10 described above, a controller 20 that communicates with the illumination setting device 10, and a lighting fixture 30 that communicates with the controller 20. The lighting apparatus 30 is controlled according to the information set by the setting device 10.

  The lighting setting method according to the present embodiment includes a schedule generation step for generating a schedule for changing the lighting state of the lighting fixture 30 according to time, an acquisition step for acquiring an address of the lighting fixture 30, and An allocation step of assigning the address acquired in the acquisition step to the schedule generated in the schedule generation step after generating the schedule in the schedule generation step.

  Thereby, before construction of the lighting fixture 30 is completed, that is, before construction of the lighting fixture 30 is started, or in parallel with construction of the lighting fixture 30, for example, a schedule can be generated in advance. . Moreover, the setting (scheduling) of the lighting fixture 30 can be easily performed only by assigning the address acquired by the acquiring unit 11 to the schedule generated by the schedule generating unit 12. Therefore, the setting operation of the lighting fixture can be made efficient.

  Specifically, this will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining the effect of the illumination setting device 10 according to the first embodiment. (A) of FIG. 8 is a figure which shows the flow of setting from construction of the lighting fixture 30 when the conventional illumination setting apparatus is used. (B) of FIG. 8 is a figure which shows the flow of a setting from construction of the lighting fixture 30 when the illumination setting apparatus 10 is used.

  As shown in FIG. 8A, conventionally, after the construction of the lighting fixture 30 is completed, different settings are made for the different lighting fixtures 30 at different locations, which increases the overall man-hours. Yes.

  On the other hand, as illustrated in FIG. 8B, when the lighting setting device 10 is used, the setting (for example, scheduling) of the lighting fixture 30 is performed in advance before the construction of the lighting fixture 30 is completed. In addition, after the installation of the lighting fixture 30 is completed, the user confirms the address of each lighting fixture 30, and assigns an address for each lighting fixture 30 with a different installation location to a schedule generated in advance. That is, the setting of the lighting fixture 30 can be easily performed only by confirming the address of the lighting fixture 30 and assigning the confirmed address to a schedule generated in advance. Therefore, the setting operation of the lighting fixture can be made efficient. Thereby, the whole man-hour including setting of a lighting fixture from construction is shortened.

  The illumination setting device 10 further includes a display unit 100 that displays a schedule icon 101 indicating a schedule generated by the schedule generation unit 12 and an address icon 102 indicating an address acquired by the acquisition unit 11. The assigning unit 13 assigns the address acquired by the acquiring unit 11 to the schedule generated by the schedule generating unit 12 when the user overlaps the address icon 102 and the schedule icon 101.

  Thereby, the user can assign the address acquired by the acquisition unit 11 to the schedule generated by the schedule generation unit 12 simply by operating the icon displayed on the display unit 100. Can be

Hereinafter, the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 9 to 18.

[Configuration of lighting system]
FIG. 9 is a configuration diagram of the illumination system according to Embodiment 2.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the illumination system 1 a is different from the illumination system 1 in that the illumination system 1 a includes an illumination setting device 10 a instead of the illumination setting device 10. The illumination setting device 10 a further includes a temporary address generation unit 14 and a group generation unit 15, and is different from the illumination setting device 10 in that it includes a display unit 200 instead of the display unit 100. Since the other components are the same as those in the illumination system 1 of the first embodiment, description thereof is omitted.

  The illumination setting device 10a includes an acquisition unit 11, a schedule generation unit 12, an allocation unit 13, a temporary address generation unit 14, a group generation unit 15, and a display unit 200. The illumination setting device 10a is, for example, a terminal device such as a mobile terminal or a tablet, a remote controller, or a PC.

  The temporary address generation unit 14 generates a temporary address for each of the plurality of lighting fixtures 30.

  The group generation unit 15 groups a plurality of temporary addresses generated by the temporary address generation unit 14.

  The allocating unit 13 allocates the group grouped by the group generating unit 15 to the schedule after the schedule generating unit 12 generates the schedule. The assigning unit 13 assigns the address obtained by the obtaining unit 11 to the schedule created by the schedule creating unit 12 by assigning the address obtained by the obtaining unit 11 to the temporary address.

  Operations performed by the acquisition unit 11, the schedule generation unit 12, the allocation unit 13, the temporary address generation unit 14, and the group generation unit 15 will be described in detail later with reference to FIG. The acquisition unit 11, the schedule generation unit 12, the allocation unit 13, the temporary address generation unit 14, and the group generation unit 15 are realized by, for example, a processor (not shown) included in the illumination setting device 10a.

And a group icon 105 indicating the group divided by the group generation unit 15. The display unit 200 also displays a schedule generation icon 111, an address acquisition icon 112, a temporary address generation icon 113, and a group generation icon 114. Since the schedule generation icon 111 and the address acquisition icon 112 are the same as those in the display unit 100, description thereof is omitted. The temporary address generation icon 113 and the group generation icon 114 will be described later. Since other configurations of the display unit 200 are the same as those of the display unit 100, description thereof is omitted.

  Next, the operation of the illumination setting device 10a will be described.

  FIG. 10 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the operation of the illumination setting device 10a according to the second embodiment.

  First, the schedule production | generation part 12 produces | generates the schedule for changing the light control rate of the lighting fixture 30 according to time (S21).

  Next, the temporary address generation unit 14 generates a temporary address of the lighting fixture 30 (S22). For example, the same number of temporary addresses as the number of installed lighting fixtures 30 are generated. In the present embodiment, since four lighting fixtures 30a to 30d are installed, four temporary addresses are generated.

  Next, the group generation unit 15 groups the temporary addresses generated by the temporary address generation unit 14 (S23). Here, a group is a group for operating the lighting fixture 30 with the same schedule, for example. In this embodiment, the temporary addresses are grouped into two groups.

  Next, the assigning unit 13 assigns the group grouped by the group generating unit 15 to the schedule generated by the schedule generating unit 12 (S24). The assigning unit 13 associates the group to which the temporary address belongs with the schedule. Thereby, the assigning unit 13 associates the temporary address with the schedule. And construction of lighting fixture 30 is completed after Step S24.

  Next, the acquisition part 11 acquires the address which the lighting fixture 30 has (S25).

  Then, the assigning unit 13 assigns the address acquired by the acquiring unit 11 to the temporary address (S16). Thereby, the assigning unit 13 assigns the address acquired by the acquiring unit 11 to the schedule generated by the schedule generating unit 12.

  As described above, the lighting setting device 10 generates temporary addresses that are preliminarily scheduled and grouped before the installation of the lighting fixture 30 is completed, and associates the temporary addresses with the schedules by associating the groups with the schedules. . Then, after the construction of the lighting fixture 30 is completed, an address is assigned to the temporary address.

  In the present embodiment, specific operations in steps S21 to S26 are performed by operating icons displayed on the display unit 200.

  Since the operation in step S21 is the same as that in step S11, description thereof is omitted. In the present embodiment, the schedule generated by the schedule generation unit 12 is the same as the schedule shown in FIG.

  Next, specific operations in steps S22 to S26 will be described with reference to FIGS.

  First, the operation in step S22 will be described.

  FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating an example of display when a temporary address is arranged on the display unit 200 according to the second embodiment. In the first embodiment, the display unit 100 displays the schedule generation screen. However, in the present embodiment, the display unit 200 displays, for example, a schedule generation screen and a floor map. For example, the schedule setting screen and the floor map may be switched by the lighting setting device 10a having a switching button and operating the switching button. In addition, for example, the display unit 200 may include a switching icon, and the schedule generation screen and the floor map may be switched by operating the switching icon. The floor map is a map for simulating the arrangement of the lighting fixtures 30 constructed on the actual floor. For example, on the actual floor, the lighting fixtures 30 are arranged in a horizontal row in the order of the lighting fixtures 30a, 30b, 30c, and 30d.

  When the temporary address generation unit 14 generates a temporary address of the lighting fixture 30, for example, as illustrated in FIG. 11, the temporary address icon 103 indicating the temporary address is arranged on the floor map displayed on the display unit 100. Is done. Specifically, when the temporary address generation icon 113 is operated (for example, clicked), the temporary address icon 103 is arranged on the floor map. That is, when the temporary address generation icon 113 is operated and the temporary address icon 103 is arranged on the floor map, the temporary address generation unit 14 generates a temporary address of the lighting fixture 30. In the present embodiment, since four lighting fixtures 30a to 30d are installed, it is necessary to generate four temporary addresses. For example, the user arranges four temporary address icons 103a to 103d by operating the temporary address generation icon 113 four times. In addition, since there may be a plurality of temporary address icons 103 simulating more lighting fixtures 30, there may be an icon for arranging a plurality of temporary address icons 103 in one operation. The temporary address icons 103a to 103d are associated with temporary addresses 1 to 4, respectively. Further, the temporary address icon 103 is moved on the floor map by being operated (for example, drag and drop) by the user. Thereby, before the lighting fixture 30 is constructed on the actual floor, the arrangement of the lighting fixture 30 scheduled to be constructed on the actual floor can be simulated by the arrangement of the temporary address icons 103. For example, as shown in FIG. 11, the temporary address icon 103a is a lighting fixture 30a, the temporary address icon 103b is a lighting fixture 30b, the temporary address icon 103c is a lighting fixture 30c, and the temporary address icon 103d is a simulation of a lighting fixture 30d. . That is, the temporary address icons 103a to 103d simulate the lighting fixtures 30a to 30d that are scheduled to be arranged in a horizontal row.

  Next, the operation in step S23 will be described.

  FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating an example of display when temporary addresses are grouped on the display unit 200 according to the second embodiment.

  When the group generation unit 15 groups the temporary addresses generated by the temporary address generation unit 14, for example, as illustrated in FIG. 12, the temporary address icon 103 indicating the temporary address is displayed in two groups (group 1 and group 1). Grouped into groups 2).

  Note that the method of grouping by the group generation unit 15 is not limited. For example, the group generation unit 15 may generate a group by operating (for example, clicking) the group generation icon 114. For example, when the group generation icon 114 is operated, the group generation unit 15 enters a mode for inputting the number of groups to be generated and temporary addresses belonging to the respective groups, and groups may be generated. For example, when the group generation icon 114 is operated, the group generation unit 15 may generate a grouping icon 104 for grouping the temporary address icons 103 on the floor map. Here, a case where the grouping icon 104 is generated on the floor map will be described.

  In this embodiment, the temporary addresses are grouped into two groups. For example, the user arranges the two grouping icons 104a and 104b by operating the group generation icon 114 twice. Grouping icons 104a and 104b are associated with group 1 and group 2, respectively. Further, the grouping icon 104 moves on the floor map and changes to a size surrounding at least one temporary address icon 103 when operated by the user (for example, drag and drop and enlargement / reduction). Here, the grouping icon 104a surrounds the temporary address icons 103a and 103b, and the grouping icon 104b surrounds the temporary address icons 103c and 103d, whereby the temporary addresses are grouped. That is, temporary addresses 1 and 2 are grouped into group 1, and temporary addresses 3 and 4 are grouped into group 2. In this way, the group generation icon 114 is operated, the grouping icon 104 is arranged on the floor map, and the grouping icon 104 surrounds the temporary address icon 103, so that the group generation unit 15 groups the temporary addresses. To do.

  Next, the operation in step S24 will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating an example of display when group icons are arranged on the display unit 200 according to the second embodiment.

  When the group generation unit 15 groups the temporary addresses, for example, a group icon 105 is arranged on the display unit 200 as shown in FIG. The group icon 105 is arranged, for example, according to the number of groups in which temporary addresses are grouped. In this embodiment, since the temporary addresses are grouped into two groups, two group icons 105 are arranged. The group icon 105a is associated with group 1, and the group icon 105b is associated with group 2.

  FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating an example of display when the group icon 105 and the schedule icon 101 overlap each other on the display unit 200 according to the second embodiment.

  The allocating unit 13 allocates the group grouped by the group generating unit 15 to the schedule generated by the schedule generating unit 12. For example, when the user overlaps the group icon 105 and the schedule icon 101, the assigning unit 13 assigns the group divided by the group generating unit 15 to the schedule generated by the schedule generating unit 12. Specifically, the user arranges (drag and drop) the group icon 105 on the schedule icon 101 displayed on the schedule generation screen. As a result, the group is assigned to the schedule. For example, when controlling the lighting fixtures 30a and 30b simulated by the temporary address icons 103a and 103b belonging to the group 1 according to the schedule 1, the group 1 is assigned to the schedule 1 as shown in FIG. Further, for example, when the lighting fixtures 30 c and 30 d simulated by the temporary address icons 103 c and 103 d belonging to the group 2 are controlled according to the schedule 2, the group 2 is assigned to the schedule 2. In other words, temporary addresses 1 and 2 belonging to group 1 are assigned to schedule 1, and temporary addresses 3 and 4 belonging to group 2 are assigned to schedule 2.

  Next, the operation in step S25 will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating an example of display when an address is acquired on the display unit 200 according to the second embodiment.

  The operation in step S25 is the same as the operation in step S12, and the acquisition unit 11 acquires an address that the lighting fixture 30 has, for example, when the address acquisition icon 112 is operated by the user. As illustrated in FIG. 15, the display unit 200 displays an address icon 102 indicating the address acquired by the acquisition unit 11. Moreover, since the user does not recognize the address which the lighting fixture 30 has, the user checks the address which each of the lighting fixture 30 has by the method shown by FIG. Thus, the user knows that the lighting fixture 30a has the address 3, the lighting fixture 30b has the address 1, the lighting fixture 30c has the address 2, and the lighting fixture 30d has the address 4.

  Next, the operation in step S26 will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 16 is a diagram illustrating a state in which addresses according to the second embodiment are assigned to temporary addresses.

  The assigning unit 13 assigns the address acquired by the acquiring unit 11 to a temporary address. For example, when the user overlaps the address icon 102 and the temporary address icon 103, the address acquired by the acquisition unit 11 is assigned to the temporary address. Specifically, the user arranges (drag and drop) the address icon 102 on the temporary address icon 103 displayed on the floor map. As described above, the temporary address icon 103a simulates the lighting fixture 30a, the temporary address icon 103b simulates the lighting fixture 30b, the temporary address icon 103c simulates the lighting fixture 30c, and the temporary address icon 103d simulates the lighting fixture 30d. The user also recognizes that the lighting fixture 30a has address 3, the lighting fixture 30b has address 1, the lighting fixture 30c has address 2, and the lighting fixture 30d has address 4. Thereby, for example, address 1 is assigned to temporary address 2, that is, by overlapping address icon 102a and temporary address icon 103b, temporary address icon 103b and lighting fixture 30b are associated with each other. Further, since the group 1 to which the temporary address 2 belongs is assigned to the schedule 1, the lighting fixture 30b having the address 1 is associated with the schedule 1 generated by the schedule generation unit 12. Similarly, as shown in FIG. 17, an address is assigned to a temporary address.

  FIG. 17 is a diagram illustrating an example of display when the address icon 102 and the temporary address icon 103 overlap each other on the display unit 200 according to the second embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 17, address 1 is assigned to temporary address 2, address 2 is assigned to temporary address 3, address 3 is assigned to temporary address 1, and address 4 is assigned to temporary address 4. Thereby, the lighting fixture 30 and a temporary address (temporary address icon 103 which simulated the lighting fixture 30) are matched. Addresses 1 and 3 are assigned to schedule 1 to which group 1 is assigned, and addresses 2 and 4 are assigned to schedule 2 to which group 2 is assigned. Thereby, the lighting fixture 30 and a schedule are matched.

  Then, the lighting setting device 10a transmits information set by the lighting setting device 10 based on the arrangement of the icons operated by the user on the display unit 200 (information in which addresses and schedules are associated) to the controller 20. . Specifically, the lighting setting device 10 a transmits information for controlling the lighting fixture 30 having the addresses 1 and 3 in the schedule 1 and the lighting fixture 30 having the addresses 2 and 4 to the controller 20. Then, the controller 20 controls the lighting fixture 30a having the address 3 and the lighting fixture 30b having the address 1 by the schedule 1, and controls the lighting fixture 30c having the address 2 and the lighting fixture 30d having the address 4 by the schedule 1.
