[2. Lighting system control method]
Next, the control method of the illumination system 100 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a method for controlling the lighting system 100.

  The control method of the lighting system 100 is a method of controlling lighting of the plurality of lighting fixtures 1 to 12, and includes a first step S11, a second step S12, a third step S13, and a fourth step S14 described below. The first step S11 and the second step S12 are executed by, for example, the data generation device 30. The third step S13 and the fourth step S14 are executed by the illumination controller 50.

  1st step S11 is a step which produces | generates the lighting data D1 and the lighting data D2 containing the information for lighting the lighting fixtures 1-12. The lighting data D1 includes information for lighting all the lighting fixtures 1 to 12, for example. The lighting data D2 includes information for lighting some of the lighting fixtures 2, 3, 6, 7, 10, 11 among the lighting fixtures 1 to 12, for example. The number of individual data for lighting each of the lighting fixtures 1 to 12 is smaller in the lighting data D2 than in the lighting data D1.

  Each of the lighting data D1 and D2 includes layer information indicating the position of the hierarchy. The layer information is set so that the lighting data D2 is positioned above the lighting data D1.

  The second step S12 is a step of generating combined lighting data D3 by combining the lighting data D1 and the lighting data D2. In the second step S12, the lighting data D2 corresponding to some of the lighting fixtures 2, 3, 6, 7, 10, 11 corresponds to the same partial lighting fixture 2, 3, 6, 7, 10, 11. The lighting data D3 is generated by overwriting the lighting data D1.

  The third step S13 is a step of storing the lighting data D3 in the illumination controller 50. Specifically, the lighting data D3 generated in the second step S12 is transferred to the lighting controller 50 and stored in the storage unit 53 of the lighting controller 50.

  The fourth step S14 is a step in which the lighting controller 50 controls lighting of the lighting fixtures 1 to 12 based on the lighting data D3 stored in the third step S13.

  Here, a scene where the lighting data D3 is generated by combining the lighting data D1 and D2 will be conceptually described with reference to FIGS. Note that each of the lighting data D1 to D3 includes information about color, brightness, and the like. Here, information about color is described as an example.

  4A and 4B are diagrams showing a display image A displayed on the data generation device 30. FIG. 4A is based on the lighting data D1, FIG. 4B is based on the lighting data D2, and FIG. It is a figure which shows the display image A displayed based on D3. 4 (a) to 4 (c), a plurality of display cell images 1a, 2a, 3a, 4a, 5a, 6a, 7a, 8a, which correspond to the lighting fixtures 1 to 12 on a one-to-one basis. 9a, 10a, 11a, 12a are shown. FIG. 5 is a diagram conceptually showing the data structure of the lighting data D1 to D3 in FIG. RGB of each lighting data shown in FIG. 5 represents the color of light emitted from each of the light emitting elements L1 to L3.

  The lighting data D1 is a set of data for representing an image with little movement such as a background, for example. In the display image A displayed based on the lighting data D1, as shown in FIG. 4A, all the display cell images 1a to 12a have substantially the same color. For example, in FIG. 5, the color displayed based on the lighting data D1 is blue for all display cell images 1a to 12a.

  The lighting data D2 is, for example, a set of data for representing an image that is to be displayed in front of the background. As shown in FIG. 4B, the display image A displayed on the basis of the lighting data D2 has the color of the display cell images 2a, 3a, 6a, 7a, 10a, 11a and the color based on the lighting data D1. Is different. For example, in FIG. 5, the display cell images 2a, 3a, 6a, 7a, 10a, and 11a are green as the colors displayed based on the lighting data D2. On the other hand, the other display cell images 1a, 4a, 5a, 8a, 9a, and 12a are not filled, that is, are in a light-transmitting state.

  The lighting data D3 is a set of data generated by combining the lighting data D1 and D2. As shown in FIG. 4C, the display image A displayed based on the lighting data D3 includes a plurality of colors. For example, in FIG. 5, the display cell images 2a, 3a, 6a, 7a, 10a, and 11a are green based on the lighting data D2, and the other display cell images 1a, 4a, 5a, 8a, 9a, and 12a are the lighting data. It becomes blue based on D1.

  As described above, the lighting data D3 is generated by overwriting the lighting data D1 corresponding to a part of the lighting fixtures with the lighting data D1 corresponding to the same part of the lighting fixtures.

  Next, a scene in which a moving image is generated using the lighting data D3 and a scene in which light is irradiated on the irradiated object 200 using the lighting data D3 will be conceptually described with reference to FIGS.

  FIGS. 6A and 6B are diagrams showing the display image A displayed on the data generation device 30 and showing the display image A displayed based on the lighting data D3 before (a) and after (b) the change. is there. FIG. 7 is a diagram conceptually showing the data structure of lighting data D3 shown in FIG.

  The display image A before change shown in FIG. 6A is generated by the procedure shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 described above. In the display image A displayed based on the lighting data D3, for example, in FIG. 6A, the display cell images 2a, 3a, 6a, 7a, 10a, and 11a are green, and the other display cell images 1a and 4a are displayed. 5a, 8a, 9a, 12a turns blue.

  The changed display image A shown in FIG. 6B is generated in the same procedure as in FIGS. In the display image A displayed based on the lighting data D3, for example, in FIG. 6B, the display cell images 3a, 4a, 7a, 8a, 11a, and 12a are green, and the other display cell images 1a and 2a are displayed. 4a, 5a, 9a and 10a turn blue.

  By generating the lighting data D3 in this way, the display image A based on the lighting data D1 can be used as a background, and the display image A based on the lighting data D2 can be expressed in the front and in motion.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an irradiation image B irradiated to the irradiation target 200 using the illumination system 100, and (b) before the change (a) of the irradiation image B irradiated based on the lighting data D3. It is a figure which shows after a change.

  For example, in FIG. 8A, among the irradiation images B, the irradiation cell images 2b, 3b, 6b, 7b, 10b, and 11b are green, and the other irradiation cell images 1b, 4b, 5b, 8b, 9b, and 12b are displayed. It turns blue. In FIG. 8B, the irradiated cell images 3b, 4b, 7b, 8b, 11b, and 12b are green, and the other irradiated cell images 1b, 2b, 4b, 5b, 9b, and 10b are blue.

  By lighting control of the lighting fixtures 1 to 12 using the lighting data D3 in this way, the image based on the lighting data D1 is used as a background, and the image based on the lighting data D2 is brought to the front and produced so as to have movement. Can do.

[3. Specific example of lighting data]
Next, a specific example of lighting data will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of a data table of the lighting data D1. FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of a data table of the lighting data D2. In the data table shown below, lighting data different from the lighting data shown in FIGS. 5 and 7 is shown.

  In the data tables shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the numerical values in the cells indicate the brightness levels of the light emitted from the light emitting elements L1 to L3. The emitted light has 256 gradations, and the larger the numerical value in the cell, the brighter the light is emitted. A numerical value “0” in the cell indicates that no light is emitted, and a “blank” in the cell indicates that no data exists.

  A frame in the data table is a data aggregate representing an irradiation image B of one frame among the irradiation images B of a plurality of frames displayed on the irradiation target 200. In the present embodiment, 40 frames of irradiated image B are displayed on irradiated object 200 per second.

  As shown in FIG. 9, numerical values indicating the colors and brightness of the light emitting elements L1 to L3 are written in the lighting data D1 for all the lighting fixtures 1 to 12 and all the frames. As shown in FIG. 10, numerical values indicating color and brightness are written in the lighting data D2 for some of the lighting fixtures 1 to 12 (for example, the lighting fixture 2).

FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating a data table before the lighting data D3 is generated. As shown in FIG. 11, in the data table of the initial lighting data D3, all the channels CH corresponding to RGB of each lighting fixture are reset, and the inside of the cell is blank. In order to indicate that no data exists, a numerical value “0” may be substituted instead of “blank” in the cell. Next, using the lighting data D1 and D2, the data table of the lighting data D3 is set. A generation method will be described.

  FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating a flow of generating the lighting data D3 in the control method of the lighting system 100. FIG. 12 shows an example in which the first to nth frames are created in order. n is the number of all frames, and is an integer of 4 or more.

  First, the creation of the first frame is started as the k (integer between 1 and n) frames (S21).

  Then, in this first frame, creation of data is started for each of the lighting fixtures 1 to 12 (S22). The data of this frame is generated by the lighting control unit 52 executing a program stored in the storage unit 53 of the data generation device 30.

  The lighting control unit 52 refers to the input lighting data D2, and determines whether or not the data of the lighting data D2, that is, a numerical value exists in the cell corresponding to each RGB of the lighting fixture 1 (S23).

  When the numerical value of lighting data D2 exists in the cell (Y in S23), the numerical value of lighting data D2 is written in the data table of lighting data D3. Specifically, the numerical value of the lighting data D2 shown in FIG. 10 is written in the cell of the data table of FIG. 11 corresponding to the cell of the lighting data D2 (S24). When the writing is finished, the process proceeds to the next step S27.

  On the other hand, when there is no numerical value of lighting data D2 (N in S23), data (numerical value) of lighting data D1 having a lower priority than lighting data D2 exists in a cell corresponding to each RGB of lighting fixture 1. It is determined whether or not to perform (S25).

  When the numerical value of lighting data D1 exists in the cell (Y in S25), the numerical value of lighting data D1 is written in the data table of lighting data D3. Specifically, the numerical value of the lighting data D1 shown in FIG. 9 is written in the cell of the data table of FIG. 11 corresponding to the cell of the lighting data D1 (S26). When the writing is finished, the process proceeds to the next step S27. If there is no numerical value of lighting data D1 in the cell (N in S25), the process proceeds to the next step S27.

  In step S27, it is determined whether or not the writing of data (numerical values) has been completed for all the lighting fixtures 1 to 12 (S27). If data writing has not been completed for all lighting fixtures 1 to 12 (N in S27), the process returns to step S22, and data is created for the next lighting fixture different from lighting fixture 1 (for example, lighting fixture 2).

  FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating a data table in the middle of generating the lighting data D3. FIG. 13 shows an example in which data is written in the cells corresponding to the lighting fixtures 1 and 2.

  When these steps S23 to S26 are completed for all the lighting fixtures 1 to 12, the process proceeds to the next step S28.

  In step S28, it is determined whether data has been created for all frames 1 to n (S28). If data creation has not been completed for all frames 1 to n (N in S27), the process returns to step S21, and data is created for the next frame (for example, frame 2) different from frame 1.

  FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating a data table in the middle of generating the lighting data D3. FIG. 14 shows an example in which data is written for frames 1 and 2.

  The generation of the lighting data D3 is completed by repeating these steps and completing the creation of data for all the frames 1 to n. FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating a data table after the lighting data D3 is generated.

  By transferring the lighting data D3 generated by S21 to S28 to the lighting controller 50, it becomes possible to control lighting of the plurality of lighting fixtures 1 to 12 using the lighting controller 50.

[4. Effect]
The control method of the lighting system 100 according to the present embodiment is a control method of the lighting system 100 including a plurality of lighting fixtures 1 to 12 and a lighting controller 50 that controls lighting of the plurality of lighting fixtures 1 to 12. First lighting data D1 including information for lighting the plurality of lighting fixtures 1 to 12, and information for lighting the plurality of lighting fixtures 1 to 12, which is different from the first lighting data D1.

The second step of generating the combined lighting data D3, the third step of storing the combined lighting data D3 in the lighting controller 50, and the lighting controller 50 Based on the lighting data D3 stored in step, and a fourth step of lighting control of the lighting apparatuses 1 to 12, a.

  For example, in the conventional lighting device, when a plurality of lighting devices are used, it is necessary for each lighting device to synthesize and generate lighting data, which increases the data processing burden of each lighting device. On the other hand, in the control method of the lighting system 100 according to the present embodiment, since lighting control of the plurality of lighting fixtures 1 to 12 is performed based on the lighting data D3 stored in the lighting controller 50, the plurality of lighting fixtures 1 to 12 are controlled. Lighting control can be easily performed.

  Moreover, in the conventional lighting device, when a plurality of lighting devices are used, it is necessary to set the priority of the lighting data for each lighting device, and it takes time to set the lighting data.
