JP 2013-235837 A

  It is necessary to set an appropriate address for a lighting device including a parent device and a child device that perform wireless communication. The address setting needs to be changed according to the installation environment. If an appropriate address is not set, for example, an address conflict with a peripheral device may occur. Conventionally, the setting of the address of the luminaire that performs wireless communication has to be performed by a person who has sufficient knowledge of software and a personal computer. If the user or installer of the lighting fixture does not have sufficient knowledge about software and personal computers, it is difficult to set addresses appropriately.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above problems. The objective of this invention is providing the lighting fixture which can perform the setting of an address easily.

  The luminaire according to the present invention includes a master light source, a master light source control means connected to the master light source, a master communication means connected to the master light source control means, a slave light source, and a slave light source. And a slave unit communication unit connected to the slave unit light source control unit. The parent device light source control means controls the parent device light source based on the control information. When the base unit address is set and the control information is received from the base unit light source control unit, the base unit communication unit transmits the control information and the base unit address by wireless communication. When the slave unit address is set and the control information and the master unit address are received from the master unit communication unit, the slave unit communication unit transmits the control information to the slave unit light source control unit if the master unit address matches the slave unit address. . When the slave unit light source control unit receives the control information from the slave unit communication unit, the slave unit light source control unit controls the slave unit light source based on the control information. When receiving the address change signal, the base unit communication means generates a new address, transmits the base unit address and the new address by wireless communication, and changes the base unit address to the new address. Further, when receiving the master unit address and the new address from the master unit communication unit, the slave unit communication means changes the slave unit address to the new address if the master unit address matches the slave unit address.

  The luminaire according to the present invention includes a master unit communication unit and a slave unit communication unit. When receiving the address change signal, the base unit communication means generates a new address, transmits the base unit address and the new address by wireless communication, and changes the base unit address to the new address. When receiving the master unit address and the new address from the master unit communication unit, the slave unit communication means changes the slave unit address to the new address if the master unit address matches the slave unit address. Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to easily set an address.

Embodiment 1 FIG.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a lighting apparatus according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing an internal configuration of the lighting fixture according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. The lighting apparatus of the present embodiment includes a parent device 101 and a child device 111.

  Base unit 101 includes a base unit LED module 102. The base unit LED module 102 is an example of a base unit light source. The master LED module 102 has at least one LED. The master unit 101 includes a master unit lighting circuit 103. Base unit lighting circuit 103 is electrically connected to base unit LED module 102. The base unit lighting circuit 103 controls the lighting state of the base unit LED module 102.

  The parent device 101 includes a parent device control unit 104, for example. The base unit control unit 104 includes an adapter module 105 and a base unit communication module 106. Adapter module 105 and base unit communication module 106 are electrically connected. The adapter module 105 and the parent device communication module 106 perform mutual communication.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the adapter module 105 is electrically connected to the parent device lighting circuit 103. The parent device lighting circuit 103 and the adapter module 105 in this embodiment are an example of a parent device light source control means.

  The adapter module 105 is electrically connected to an external device (not shown), for example. The external device is a device that transmits control information to the adapter module 105. A device that transmits control information to the adapter module 105 is, for example, the human sensor 300. The human sensor 300 transmits dimming command value information to the adapter module 105 as an example of control information. As an example, a dimming rate is included above the dimming command value.

  The human sensor 300 transmits dimming command value information based on the number of detected people, for example. When the number of detected people is large, the human sensor 300 transmits the dimming command value information so that the illuminance is high. For example, when the number of detected people is equal to or greater than a specified number, the human sensor 300 transmits dimming command value information so as to control at the total light dimming rate. In addition, when the number of detected people is small, the human sensor 300 transmits the dimming command value information so that the illuminance is slightly reduced.

  The base unit communication module 106 is an example of a base unit communication unit. In the base unit communication module 106, a base unit address is set. The base unit communication module 106 can perform wireless communication with a device external to the base unit 101. The base unit communication module 106 transmits the base unit address to the outside by wireless communication. The base unit communication module 106 receives an address change signal from an external remote controller (not shown), for example.

  The slave unit 111 includes a slave unit LED module 112. The slave unit LED module 112 is an example of a slave unit light source. The subunit | mobile_unit LED module 112 has at least 1 LED.

  The slave unit 111 includes a slave unit lighting circuit 113. The slave unit lighting circuit 113 is an example of a slave unit light source control means. The slave unit lighting circuit 113 is electrically connected to the slave unit LED module 112. The slave unit lighting circuit 113 controls the lighting state of the slave unit LED module 112.

  The slave unit 111 includes a slave unit communication module 116. The slave unit communication module 116 is an example of a slave unit communication unit. The slave unit communication module 116 is electrically connected to the slave unit lighting circuit 113.

  A slave unit address is set in the slave unit communication module 116. The slave unit communication module 116 can perform wireless communication with a device external to the slave unit 111. The parent device communication module 106 and the child device communication module 116 perform mutual communication by wireless communication.

  Next, operation | movement of the lighting fixture of this Embodiment is demonstrated. As an operation related to the present invention, an operation in which the lighting apparatus performs illumination control will be described. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the operation of base unit 101 when performing illumination control.

  Master device 101 receives dimming command value information by adapter module 105 (step S101). When the adapter module 105 receives the dimming command value information, the adapter module 105 transmits the received dimming command value information to the parent device lighting circuit 103. The adapter module 105 transmits the received dimming command value information to the base unit communication module 106 (step S102).

  When receiving the dimming command value information, the base unit lighting circuit 103 controls the lighting state of the base unit LED module 102 based on the received dimming command value information (step S103).

  When receiving the dimming command value information, the base unit communication module 106 transmits the received dimming command value information to the outside of the base unit 101 by wireless communication. The base unit communication module 106 also transmits the base unit address together with the dimming command value information to the outside of the base unit 101 by wireless communication (step S104).

  In the above operation, the operation in step S103 and the operation in step S104 may be performed in the reverse order. Further, the operation of step S103 and the operation of step S104 may be performed simultaneously.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the operation of the slave unit 111 when performing illumination control. First, the slave unit communication module 116 receives the dimming command value information and the master unit address from the master unit communication module 106 by wireless communication (step S201).

  When receiving the dimming command value information and the parent device address, the child device communication module 116 determines whether the received parent device address matches the child device address (step S202).

  If the received master unit address matches the slave unit address, the slave unit communication module 116 transmits the received dimming command value information to the slave unit lighting circuit 113 (step S203). When receiving the dimming command value information from the slave unit communication module 116, the slave unit lighting circuit 113 controls the lighting state of the slave unit LED module 112 based on the received dimming command value information (step S204).

  If it is determined in step S202 that the parent device address does not match the child device address, the child device communication module 116 does not transmit the received dimming command value information to the child device lighting circuit 113 (step S205). If the received master unit address does not match the slave unit address, the slave unit communication module 116 discards the received dimming command value information and the master unit address, for example.

  In the present embodiment, the master unit lighting circuit 103 and the slave unit lighting circuit 113 control the lighting state based on the same dimming command value information when the master unit address matches the slave unit address. The master unit lighting circuit 103 and the slave unit lighting circuit 113 do not control the lighting state based on the same dimming command value information when the master unit address and the slave unit address do not match.

  When the parent device address matches the child device address, the parent device 101 and the child device 111 perform the same lighting operation. When the master unit address matches the slave unit address, the master unit LED module 102 and the slave unit LED module 112 are controlled based on the same dimming command value information.

  In this example, the parent device LED module 102 and the child device LED module 112 are controlled based on dimming command value information. Master device LED module 102 and slave device LED module 112 may be controlled based on control information other than dimming command value information. The control information may be information generated by a device other than the human sensor 300.

  The master device LED module 102 and the slave device LED module 112 may be controlled so as to have a reference dimming value based on the illuminance detected by the illuminance sensor, for example. Illuminance is an example of control information. The lighting state of the parent device LED module 102 and the child device LED module 112 is controlled so as to suppress the illuminance, for example, when the illuminance in the room is high during the daytime.

  The device for generating the control information may be a device having a timer function, for example. For example, the device having the timer function generates control information for setting the maximum illuminance of the parent LED module 102 and the child LED module 112 during the operation time period. In addition, the device having the timer function generates control information for lighting the parent device LED module 102 and the child device LED module 112 with low power during, for example, a closed time. The parent device LED module 102 and the child device LED module 112 are controlled based on control information generated by a device having a timer function, thereby saving power consumption.

  Next, the operation | movement which changes the setting of the address of the lighting fixture of this Embodiment is demonstrated. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the operation of base unit 101 when the address setting is changed in the present embodiment.

  First, base unit communication module 106 receives an address change signal (step S301). The address change signal is transmitted, for example, when the user operates an external remote controller.

  When receiving the address change signal, base unit communication module 106 generates a new address (step S302). The base unit communication module 106 generates a new address at random, for example. Note that the base unit communication module 106 may regularly generate new addresses.

  When base unit communication module 106 generates a new address, base unit communication module 106 transmits the generated new address to the outside by wireless communication. The base unit communication module 106 also transmits the base unit address together with the new address to the outside by wireless communication (step S303).

  When the base unit address and the new address are transmitted, base unit communication module 106 determines whether an address change notification has been received (step S304). When receiving the address change notification, base unit communication module 106 changes the base unit address to a new address (step S305).

  In this example, the base unit communication module 106 does not change the base unit address when the address change notification is not received (step S306). If the base unit communication module 106 does not receive an address change notification even after a certain period of time has elapsed after transmitting the base unit address and the new address in step S303, for example, the base unit communication module 106 discards the new address. For example, when the new address is discarded, the base unit communication module 106 ends the operation of changing the address setting.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the operation of the slave unit 111 when changing the address setting in this embodiment. First, the slave unit communication module 116 receives the master unit address and the new address transmitted from the master unit communication module 106 by wireless communication (step S401).

  When receiving the parent device address and the new address, the child device communication module 116 determines whether the received parent device address matches the child device address (step S402).

  If the received master unit address matches the slave unit address, the slave unit communication module 116 changes the slave unit address to a new address (step S403). When the slave unit communication module 116 changes the slave unit address to a new address, the slave unit communication module 116 transmits an address change notification to the master unit communication module 106 (step S404).

  If it is determined in step S402 that the parent device address does not match the child device address, the child device communication module 116 does not change the child device address to a new address (step S405). The slave unit communication module 116 discards the received master unit address and new address, for example.

  If it is the lighting fixture of this Embodiment, a main | base station address and a subunit | mobile_unit address can be changed by simple operation of transmitting an address change signal. In this example, even a person who does not have sufficient knowledge such as software and a personal computer can easily set the address of the lighting fixture.

  Moreover, the lighting fixture of this Embodiment may be provided with multiple subunit | mobile_unit 111, for example. The plurality of slave units 111 set with the same address as the master unit 101 all change the slave unit address when the master unit communication module 106 receives the address change signal once. The plurality of slave units 111 that have changed the slave unit addresses transmit an address change notification to the master unit 101. For example, when receiving the address change notification from all the slave units 111 whose slave unit addresses have been changed, the master unit 101 changes the master unit address. The parent device 101 may change the parent device address if it receives even one address change notification.

  Of the plurality of slave units 111, the slave unit 111 to which an address different from that of the master unit 101 is set does not change the slave unit address. Only the slave unit 111 for which the same address as the master unit 101 is set changes the slave unit address. The address setting of the slave unit 111 in which an address different from that of the master unit 101 is set is not changed by mistake. If the addresses of all of the plurality of slave units 111 are different from the address of the master unit 101, the master unit 101 does not receive an address change notification. For this reason, the base unit address is not changed by mistake. In this example, even those who do not have sufficient knowledge of software and personal computers can set addresses appropriately.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, base unit communication module 106 changes the base unit address to a new address only when an address change notification is received after transmitting the base unit address and the new address by wireless communication. . Thus, it is possible to prevent the parent device address from being changed even though the child device address has not been changed.

  Note that base unit communication module 106 does not have to make the determination in step S304. The base unit communication module 106 may change the base unit address to the new address after transmitting the base unit address and the new address. In this example, if the base unit communication module 106 does not receive an address change notification even after a predetermined time has elapsed since the base unit address was changed to a new address, the set base address is changed from the new address to the original base unit address. You may return to.

  For example, when the slave unit address is changed, the slave unit communication module 116 may transmit a slave unit light source blinking instruction to the slave unit lighting circuit 113. The subunit | mobile_unit lighting circuit 113 blinks the subunit | mobile_unit LED module 112, if the subunit | mobile_unit light source blink instruction | indication is received. Thereby, the user is notified of the change of the slave unit address.

  Similarly, base unit communication module 106 may transmit a base unit light source blinking instruction to adapter module 105 when the base unit address is changed. The adapter module 105 transmits the received parent device light source blinking instruction to the parent device lighting circuit 103. When receiving the parent device light source blink instruction, the parent device lighting circuit 103 blinks the parent device LED module 102. Thereby, the change of the base unit address is notified to the user.

  In this example, the user can visually determine the parent device 101 and the child device 111 whose address settings have been changed. Note that the luminaire may perform notification by a method other than the blinking of light as a method of notifying the user that the address setting has been changed.

  The human sensor 300 may be formed integrally with the adapter module 105. In this example, compared to the case where the human sensor 300 is separately provided in a room or the like, work such as wiring connection becomes easier. Further, as a device for generating control information, a device other than the human sensor 300 may be formed integrally with the adapter module 105.

  The luminaire of the present embodiment includes a master LED module 102 as an example of a master light source. Moreover, a lighting fixture is provided with the subunit | mobile_unit LED module 112 as an example of a subunit | mobile_unit light source. In addition to the present embodiment, the master light source may be a light source having at least one organic EL, for example. Similarly, the handset light source may be a light source having at least one organic EL.

  In the present embodiment, the address change signal is transmitted, for example, when the user operates an external remote controller. The address change signal may be transmitted by a method other than the above example.

  The base unit 101 may include an address change switch (not shown), for example. The switch for changing the address is provided in the base unit communication module 106 or the adapter module 105, for example. The user transmits an address change signal by operating an address change switch. The base unit communication module 106 receives an address change signal directly from the address change switch or via the adapter module 105. The base unit communication module 106 operates in the same manner as in the above embodiment.

  In addition, the lighting fixture of this invention may be provided with apparatuses other than a remote control or the switch for address change as a means for producing | generating a new address. Moreover, the lighting fixture of this invention may be equipped with the means to return to the state before a change, for example after changing a main | base station address and a subunit | mobile_unit address into a new address. The lighting fixture of this invention may be provided with the means to reset a main | base station address and a subunit | mobile_unit address to the address of the initial state before installation, for example. The address in the initial state is set, for example, when the lighting fixture is shipped.

Embodiment 2. FIG.
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. The configuration of the lighting fixture of the present embodiment is shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 as in the first embodiment. The operation of the lighting apparatus of the present embodiment is shown in FIGS. 3, 4, 5, and 6 as in the first embodiment.

  In the base unit communication module 106, for example, an initial address is set as a base unit address at the time of product shipment. In the slave unit communication module 116, for example, an initial address is set as a slave unit address at the time of product shipment. In the present embodiment, the same initial address is initially set at the time of product shipment as a parent device address and a child device address.

  In the present embodiment, the parent device 101 and the child device 111 do not require separate initial address setting by, for example, a user or a construction contractor. The master unit 101 and the slave unit 111 are simply installed, and the lighting state is controlled based on the same control information. As a result, the burden on the user or construction contractor due to the address setting is reduced. In addition to the present embodiment, the initial setting of the addresses in the base unit communication module 106 and the handset unit communication module 116 may be performed, for example, before product shipment or after product shipment.

  Further, information that the base unit communication module 106 receives from the adapter module 105 for the first time may be an address change signal. For example, the adapter module 105 receives light control command value information from the human sensor 300 for the first time after a certain period of time has elapsed since the installation of the parent device 101 and the child device 111 is completed. The adapter module 105 transmits the dimming command value information to the base unit communication module 106 for the first time. When the base unit communication module 106 receives the dimming command value information for the first time, it determines that the dimming command value information is received as the reception of the address change signal. Base unit communication module 106 operates in the same manner as when the address change signal is received.

  In this example, when the installation of the parent device 101 and the child device 111 is completed, the parent device address and the child device address are automatically changed without the user transmitting an address change signal. The parent machine address and the child machine address are automatically changed from the same initial address to a new address. Thereby, when a lighting fixture having the same configuration as that of the present embodiment is newly installed in the vicinity, address conflict does not occur.

  Base unit communication module 106 of the present embodiment may generate an address different from the initial address as a new address. The base unit communication module 106 randomly generates a new address, for example. When the newly generated new address is the same as the initial address, base unit communication module 106 again generates another new address at random. Master communication module 106 repeats the generation of addresses until a new address is generated as an address different from the initial address.

  In this example, after the initial address is changed to a new address, even if a lighting fixture having the same configuration as that of the present embodiment is newly installed in the vicinity, the address does not compete. The base unit communication module 106 may generate a new address by a method other than the above, such as regularly repeating address generation.

  The base unit communication module 106 may continue to store the initial address set at the time of product shipment even after the change from the initial address to the new address. Base unit communication module 106 generates an address different from the stored initial address as a new address. In this example, even when the initial address is changed to a new address and then changed to another address, an address conflict with a lighting fixture newly installed in the vicinity does not occur.

Embodiment 3 FIG.
Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing a lighting apparatus according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention. FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram showing the internal configuration of the lighting fixture according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention.

  The lighting apparatus of the present embodiment includes a parent device 101 and a child device 111. Since the configurations and operations of the parent device 101 and the child device 111 are the same as those in the first embodiment, detailed description thereof is omitted.

  The lighting fixture of the present embodiment includes a second master unit 201, a second slave unit 211, and a third slave unit 221. The second parent device 201 includes a second parent device LED module 202, a second parent device lighting circuit 203, and a second parent device control unit 204. The second parent device control unit 204 includes a second adapter module 205 and a second parent device communication module 206. Since the configuration of second master 201 is the same as that of master 101, detailed description thereof is omitted. The second base unit communication module 206 can perform mutual communication with the base unit communication module 106 by wireless communication.

  The second parent device LED module 202 in this example is an example of a second parent device light source. The second parent device lighting circuit 203 and the second adapter module 205 are an example of a second parent device light source control means. The second base unit communication module 206 is an example of a second base unit communication means.

  The second handset 211 includes a second handset LED module 212, a second handset lighting circuit 213, and a second handset communication module 216. The third handset 221 includes a third handset LED module 222, a third handset lighting circuit 223, and a third handset communication module 226. Since the configuration of the second slave unit 211 and the configuration of the third slave unit 221 are the same as the configuration of the slave unit 111, detailed description thereof is omitted.

  In the base unit communication module 106, a base unit address is set. A slave unit address is set in the slave unit communication module 116. In the present embodiment, the parent device address and the child device address are set as the same address. The parent device 101 and the child device 111 constitute the first group 100 as shown in FIGS.

  The parent device communication module 106 and the child device communication module 116 perform mutual communication by wireless communication. The parent device 101 and the child device 111 of the first group 100 perform the same lighting operation. The lighting state of the parent device LED module 102 and the child device LED module 112 is controlled based on the same control information.

  A second master unit address is set in the second master unit communication module 206. A second slave unit address is set in the second slave unit communication module 216. A third handset address is set in the third handset communication module 226. In the present embodiment, the second parent device address is set as an address different from the first parent device address. The second parent device address, the second child device address, and the third child device address are set as the same address. The second parent device 201, the second child device 211, and the third child device 221 constitute a second group 200 as shown in FIGS.

  The second parent device communication module 206 and the second child device communication module 216 perform mutual communication by wireless communication. Similarly, the second parent device communication module 206 and the third child device communication module 226 perform mutual communication by wireless communication. The second parent device 201, the second child device 211, and the third child device 221 of the second group 200 perform the same lighting operation. The lighting state of the second parent device LED module 202, the second child device LED module 212, and the third child device LED module 222 is controlled based on the same second control information.

  Next, an operation for changing the address setting of the second group 200 will be described. FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing the operation of the second parent device 201 when changing the address setting of the second group 200 in the present embodiment.

  First, the second base communication module 206 receives an address change signal (step S501). Thereby, the change of the address setting of the second group 200 is started.

  When receiving the address change signal, second base unit communication module 206 receives the base unit address from base unit communication module 106 (step S502). When receiving the parent device address, the second parent device communication module 206 generates an address different from the parent device address as a second new address (step S503).

  The second master communication module 206 generates a second new address, for example, at random. If the second new address that is randomly generated is the same as the parent device address, the second parent device communication module 206 again randomly generates another second new address. The second base unit communication module 206 repeats the generation of addresses until the second new address is generated as an address different from the base unit address. Note that the second base communication module 206 may generate the second new address by a method other than the above, such as regularly generating the address.

  When the second master unit communication module 206 generates the second new address, the second base unit communication module 206 transmits the generated second new address to the outside by wireless communication. The second base unit communication module 206 also transmits the second base unit address together with the second new address to the outside by wireless communication (step S504).

  When the second base unit communication module 206 transmits the second base unit address and the second new address, it determines whether an address change notification has been received (step S505). Upon receiving the address change notification, the second base unit communication module 206 changes the second base unit address to the second new address (step S506).

  If the second base unit communication module 206 does not receive the address change notification, the second base unit communication module 206 does not change the base unit address (step S507). For example, if the second base unit communication module 206 does not receive an address change notification even after a certain period of time has elapsed after transmitting the second base unit address and the second new address in step S504, the second base unit communication module 206 discards the second new address. For example, when the second new address is discarded, the second base unit communication module 206 ends the operation of changing the address setting.

  When changing the address setting of the second group 200, the slave unit 111 performs the same operation as the operation shown in FIG. 6 of the first embodiment. The second slave unit 211 and the third slave unit 221 operate in the same manner as the slave unit 111. Detailed descriptions of the operations of the slave unit 111, the second slave unit 211, and the third slave unit 221 are omitted.

  The slave unit communication module 116 receives the second master unit address and the second new address. The second master unit address is different from the slave unit address. For this reason, the slave unit address is not changed. The second slave unit communication module 216 and the third slave unit communication module 226 receive the second master unit address and the second new address. The second slave unit address and the third slave unit address match the second master unit address. The second parent device address, the second child device address, and the third child device address are changed to the second new address.

  In the above embodiment, when the address setting of the second group 200 is changed, only the address setting of the second group 200 is appropriately changed. The address setting of the first group 100 is not changed by mistake. In addition, the second child device address and the third child device address are changed to a second new address different from the parent device address. As a result, there is no address conflict between the first group 100 and the second group 200 after the setting of the address of the second group 200 is changed.

  When changing the address setting of the first group 100, the base unit communication module 106 may receive the second base unit address from the second base unit communication module 206. The base unit communication module 106 generates an address different from the second base unit address as a new address. The parent device address and the child device address of the first group 100 are changed to new addresses different from the second parent device address. As a result, there is no address conflict between the first group 100 and the second group 200 after the setting of the address of the first group 100 is changed.

  Note that the second base unit communication module 206 does not have to make the determination in step S505. The second base unit communication module 206 may change the second base unit address to the second new address after transmitting the second base unit address and the second new address. In this example, if the second base unit communication module 206 does not receive an address change notification even after a certain period of time has elapsed after changing the second base unit address to the second new address, the second base unit communication module 206 The new address may be returned to the original second base unit address.
