(Embodiment 1)
<Configuration of lighting system and lighting equipment>
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a lighting system 100 and lighting devices 10a, 10b, 10c, 10d, 10e, and 10f according to the first embodiment, and is a mesh network 20 including a plurality of lighting devices 10a to 10f (see FIG. 1). It is a figure which shows an example of the broken line in 1).

  The illumination system 100 includes a plurality of illumination devices 10a to 10f having a communication function. In the lighting system 100, among the plurality of lighting devices 10a to 10f, lighting devices adjacent to each other (for example, the lighting devices 10b and 10d) communicate to construct a wireless communication path and configure a mesh network. The mesh network 20 is not limited to adjacent lighting devices, and may be configured between lighting devices having a predetermined number of hops within a wireless communication distance.

  The lighting devices 10a to 10f can communicate with the communication terminals 50 and 60 (first communication terminal 50 and second communication terminal 60) possessed by a plurality of workers, respectively. The communication terminals 50 and 60 are set so as to automatically establish communication connection with lighting devices 10a to 10f located near the communication terminals 50 and 60. In FIG. 1, the communication terminal 50 is in communication connection with the lighting device 10a, and the communication terminal 60 is in communication connection with the lighting device 10d.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of the appearance of the lighting devices 10a to 10f. FIG. 3 is a block diagram illustrating a control configuration of the lighting devices 10a to 10f.

  Illumination equipment 10a-10f is a ceiling light as shown in FIG. 2, for example, and is installed on a construction material (such as a ceiling) of a building such as a house. The lighting devices 10 a to 10 f include a device main body 15 and a globe 16 that covers the device main body 15. The globe 16 is formed of a resin material having translucency. As shown in FIG. 3, the device main body 15 includes a light source 11, a device communication unit 12, and a device control unit 13.

  The light source 11 includes, for example, a plurality of light emitting diodes that emit white light, red light, green light, or blue light. The light source 11 is subjected to light control and / or color control by the device control unit 13.

  The device communication unit 12 includes an antenna and a wireless module. The device communication unit 12 wirelessly transmits or receives a command related to the operation of the device communication unit 12 of the lighting device different from itself and the lighting devices 10a to 10f. For example, the lighting device 10b can communicate with the lighting devices 10a, 10d, and 10e located next to each other. In addition, the device communication unit 12 of the lighting devices 10a to 10f can communicate with the communication terminal 50 or 60. As a communication method, for example, a method of performing communication in a 2.4 GHz frequency band such as Bluetooth (registered trademark) standardized by IEEE 802.15.1 is used.

  The device control unit 13 includes a CPU, a RAM, a ROM storing a program, and the like. The device control unit 13 has a plurality of communication modes (first communication mode M1 and second communication mode M2) for communicating with other devices via the device communication unit 12. The first communication mode M1 is a communication mode in which each of the lighting devices 10a to 10f and the communication terminal 50 or 60 communicate with each other. The second communication mode M2 is a communication mode when the plurality of lighting devices 10a to 10f configuring the mesh network 20 transmit or receive commands to each other. The device control unit 13 can transmit and receive commands using both the first communication mode M1 and the second communication mode M2 simultaneously. The device control unit 13 executes the command received in the first communication mode M1 and the command received in the second communication mode M2 according to the usage status of the lighting devices 10a to 10f.

  FIG. 4 is a block diagram illustrating a control configuration of the communication terminals 50 and 60 that communicate with the lighting devices 10a to 10f.

  The communication terminals 50 and 60 are, for example, tablet terminals or smartphones, and include an operation unit 54, a display unit 51, a terminal communication unit 52, and a terminal control unit 53.

  The operation unit 54 is, for example, a touch panel that inputs a command for operating the lighting devices 10a to 10f. The display unit 51 is, for example, a liquid crystal monitor for displaying individual operating states of the lighting devices 10a to 10f and displaying the presence / absence of participation in the mesh network 20. The terminal communication unit 52 has an antenna and a wireless module. The terminal control unit 53 includes a CPU, RAM, ROM, and the like. The terminal control unit 53 has a first communication mode M1 that communicates with each of the lighting devices 10a to 10f.

  The first communication mode M1 is used between the communication terminals 50, 60 and the lighting devices 10a to 10f, and the second communication mode M2 is used between the lighting devices 10a to 10f. Commands relating to the operation of the lighting devices 10a to 10f such as light, toning, and reset are transmitted and received. In addition to these commands, the communication terminals 50 and 60 and the lighting devices 10a to 10f are individually assigned to the lighting devices 10a to 10f in addition to these commands. Authentication information such as an address and a network encryption key is transmitted and received.

  For example, by designating an address and transmitting a command related to the operation of the lighting device 10b, only the lighting device 10b can be operated. In addition, by assigning addresses to a plurality of lighting devices 10a to 10f as one group, the lighting devices 10a to 10f including one group can be collectively operated. In addition, a predetermined command or all commands among lighting, extinguishing, dimming, toning, and reset can be set in advance so as to operate collectively.

  In principle, these commands are transmitted from the communication terminal 50 or 60 as a transmission source so as to spread to a plurality of lighting devices 10a to 10f using a communication path by the mesh network 20. For example, when a predetermined command is transmitted from the communication terminal 50 to the lighting device 10a in the first communication mode M1, the lighting device 10a transmits the received command to the lighting device 10b in the second communication mode M2. The lighting device 10b executes the received command and transmits the command to the lighting devices 10d and 10e in the second communication mode M2.

  However, in the present embodiment, the lighting devices 10a to 10d that are communicating in the first communication mode M1 are set so as not to be executed by ignoring commands received from other devices. For example, the lighting device 10d communicating with the communication terminal 60 in the first communication mode M1 maintains the current operation state without executing the command received in the second communication mode M2 using the communication terminal 50 as a transmission source. To do. The lighting device 10a once accepts a command received in the first communication mode M1, but directly communicates with the communication terminal 50 in the first communication mode M1, so that the current operating state is not executed without executing the command. To maintain.

  That is, in the lighting devices 10a to 10f according to the present embodiment, when the lighting devices 10a to 10f are collectively operated, the lighting devices (for example, the lighting devices 10a and 10d) communicating in the first communication mode M1. Assumes that there is a person working in the current operating state, maintains the operating state, and suppresses adverse effects on the work.

<Operation of lighting equipment>
Next, the operation of the lighting devices 10a to 10f when a turn-off command is given to the plurality of lighting devices 10a to 10f configuring the mesh network 20 will be described with reference to FIGS. Here, a case where an operator in the vicinity of the lighting device 10a turns off the other lighting devices 10b to 10f to save power will be described.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram showing lighting states of the lighting devices 10a to 10f, and FIG. 6 is a flowchart for determining lighting or extinguishing of the lighting devices 10a to 10f.

  Initially, as shown to (a) of FIG. 5, all the several illuminating devices 10a-10f which comprise the mesh network 20 are in the state turned on (S11 of FIG. 6).

  From this state, an operator in the vicinity of the lighting device 10a turns off the other lighting devices 10b to 10f. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5B, the lighting device 10a uses the communication terminal 50 to issue a turn-off command. Send to.

  First, the operation of the lighting device 10a that directly receives the turn-off command from the communication terminal 50 will be described with reference to FIG.

  The lighting device 10a receives the turn-off command from the communication terminal 50 in the first communication mode M1 (S12 in FIG. 6). Thereafter, the lighting device 10a determines whether it is communicating with other devices in the first communication mode M1 (S13 in FIG. 6). At this time, the lighting device 10a once accepts the turn-off command received in the first communication mode M1, but is in a state of communicating with the communication terminal 50 in the first communication mode M1 (Yes in S13), the first communication mode. The current operation state is maintained without executing the turn-off command received at M1. At the same time, the turn-off command is transferred to the adjacent lighting devices 10b and 10c in the second communication mode M2. Note that the lighting device 10a maintains the lighting state until it receives the turn-off command again.

  Next, the operation of the lighting devices 10b to 10f that have received the turn-off command via a lighting device different from itself will be described with reference to FIG. 6 again.

  The lighting devices 10b and 10c receive the turn-off command from the lighting device 10a in the second communication mode M2 (S12 in FIG. 6). Thereafter, the lighting devices 10b and 10c determine whether they are communicating with other devices in the first communication mode M1 (S13 in FIG. 6). At this time, since the lighting devices 10b and 10c are not communicating with other devices in the first communication mode M1 (No in S13), the turn-off commands received in the second communication mode M2 are executed (FIG. 6). S14). At the same time, the turn-off command is transferred to the adjacent lighting devices 10d, 10e, and 10f in the second communication mode M2.

  The lighting devices 10d, 10e, and 10f receive the turn-off command from the lighting devices 10b and 10c in the second communication mode M2 (S12 in FIG. 6). Thereafter, the lighting devices 10d, 10e, and 10f determine whether they are communicating with other devices in the first communication mode M1 (S13 in FIG. 6). At this time, since the lighting devices 10e and 10f are not in communication with other devices in the first communication mode M1 (No in S13), the turn-off command received in the second communication mode M2 is executed (FIG. 6). S14).

  On the other hand, since the lighting device 10d is in a state of communicating with the communication terminal 60 in the first communication mode M1 (Yes in S13), the lighting device 10d is not executed by ignoring the turn-off command received in the second communication mode M2. Maintain the operating state of. In addition, the lighting device 10d notifies the communication terminal 50 of pop-up response information indicating that the received turn-off command is not executed. This response information is transmitted to the communication terminal 50 using the second communication mode M2 used in the communication path of the mesh network 20 and the first communication mode M1 used in the communication path between the lighting device 10a and the communication terminal 50. Will be notified.

  That is, in the lighting devices 10a to 10f according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5B, an operator in the vicinity of the lighting device 10a uses the communication terminal 50 to switch to the lighting devices 10a to 10f. Even when the turn-off command is given collectively, the lighting devices 10a and 10d located near the communication terminals 50 and 60 are not turned off.

<Summary>
As described above, the lighting devices 10a to 10f according to the present embodiment have the command that the device communication unit 12 propagates to the plurality of lighting devices 10a to 10f using the first communication terminal 50 as a transmission source. When receiving in the second communication mode M2 via a different lighting device, the device control unit 13 communicates with the second communication terminal 60 different from the first communication terminal 50 in the first communication mode M1. When not in a state, the command received in the second communication mode M2 is executed, and when communicating with the second communication terminal 60 in the first communication mode M1, in the second communication mode M2. The current operating state is maintained without executing the received command.

  According to this, when the lighting devices 10a to 10f are collectively operated using the communication path by the mesh network 20 with the first communication terminal 50 as a transmission source, the first communication terminal 50 is close to the second communication terminal 60. It is possible to suppress an adverse effect on work performed under the lighting equipment that is positioned (the lighting equipment 10d in FIG. 5B).

  In the present embodiment, “the state in which communication is performed in the first communication mode M1” refers not only to the case where commands are transmitted and received in the first communication mode M1, but also to the communication terminals 50 and 60 and the lighting device. This includes the session from the establishment of the connection in the first communication mode M1 between 10a to 10f until the release.

  In addition, for example, the device communication unit 12 of the lighting device 10a transmits a command that is transmitted from the first communication terminal 50 to the plurality of lighting devices 10a to 10f from the first communication terminal 50 in the first communication mode. When received by M1, the device control unit 13 maintains the current operation state without executing the command received in the first communication mode M1, and sets the second communication mode to the lighting devices 10b to 10f different from itself. The command may be transferred by M2.

  According to this, it is possible to cause the other lighting devices 10b, 10c, 10e, and 10f to collectively execute commands while maintaining the operating state of the lighting device 10a located near the first communication terminal 50. . Further, even if a command is given to the lighting device 10a by mistake, the lighting device 10a maintains the current operating state, so that the work currently being performed under the lighting device 10a is adversely affected. Can be suppressed.

  In addition, when the device control unit 13 does not execute the command received in the second communication mode M2, the device control unit 13 may notify the first communication terminal 50 of information indicating that the command is not executed.

  According to this, there is another lighting device that interferes with the current work when the command is executed based on the information notified to the first communication terminal 50, and the command is not executed on the lighting device. Can be recognized.

  Moreover, the illumination system 100 according to the present embodiment includes a plurality of illumination devices 10a to 10f.

  According to the lighting system 100, when the lighting devices 10a to 10f are collectively operated using the communication terminal 50 as a transmission source and using the communication path by the mesh network 20, the lighting located near the communication terminal 60 is used. It is possible to suppress adverse effects on work performed under the device 10d.

  For example, the device communication unit 12 of the lighting device 10a uses the first communication terminal 50 as a transmission source to transmit a command to the plurality of lighting devices 10a to 10f from the first communication terminal 50 in the first communication mode M1. When received, the device control unit 13 is configured to execute the command received in the first communication mode M1 and transfer the command to the lighting devices 10b to 10f different from the device in the second communication mode M2. ing.

<Operation of lighting equipment>
The operation of the lighting devices 10a to 10f when a turn-off command is given to the plurality of lighting devices 10a to 10f will be described with reference to FIGS. Here, a description will be given of a case where the worker on the floor where the lighting devices 10a to 10f are installed turns off all the lighting devices 10a to 10f because the worker on the floor has finished the work on the floor.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating lighting states of the lighting devices 10a to 10f, and FIG. 8 is a flowchart for determining lighting or extinguishing of the lighting devices 10a to 10f.

  Initially, all of the plurality of lighting devices 10a to 10f constituting the mesh network 20 are lit (S21 in FIG. 8).

  From this state, since the worker in the vicinity of the lighting device 10a turns off all the lighting devices 10a to 10f, a turn-off command is transmitted to the lighting device 10a using the communication terminal 50 as shown in FIG.

  First, the operation of the lighting device 10a that directly receives the turn-off command from the communication terminal 50 will be described with reference to FIG.

  The lighting device 10a receives the turn-off command from the communication terminal 50 in the first communication mode M1 (S22 in FIG. 8). Thereafter, the lighting device 10a determines whether or not it is communicating with another device in the first communication mode M1 (S23 in FIG. 8). At this time, since the lighting device 10a is in a state of communicating with the communication terminal 50 in the first communication mode M1 (Yes in S23), the turn-off command received in the first communication mode M1 is executed (S25 in FIG. 8). . At the same time, the turn-off command is transferred to the adjacent lighting devices 10b and 10c in the second communication mode M2.

  Next, the operation of the lighting devices 10b to 10f that have received the turn-off command via a lighting device different from itself will be described with reference to FIG. 8 again.

  The lighting devices 10b and 10c receive the turn-off command from the lighting device 10a in the second communication mode M2 (S22 in FIG. 8). Thereafter, the lighting devices 10b and 10c determine whether or not a turn-off command is received in the first communication mode M1 (S23 in FIG. 8). Since the lighting devices 10b and 10c have not received the turn-off command in the first communication mode M1, but have received them in the second communication mode M2, the process proceeds to the next step, and the lighting devices 10b and 10c perform other steps in the first communication mode M1. It is determined whether or not communication is performed with the device (S24 in FIG. 8). Here, since the lighting devices 10b and 10c are not communicating with other devices in the first communication mode M1 (No in S24), the turn-off commands received in the second communication mode M2 are executed (S25 in FIG. 8). ). At the same time, the turn-off command is transferred to the adjacent lighting devices 10d, 10e, and 10f in the second communication mode M2.

  The lighting devices 10d, 10e, and 10f receive the turn-off command from the lighting devices 10b and 10c in the second communication mode M2 (S22 in FIG. 8). Thereafter, the lighting devices 10d, 10e, and 10f determine whether a turn-off command has been received in the first communication mode M1 (S23 in FIG. 8). Since the lighting devices 10d, 10e, and 10f have not received the turn-off command in the first communication mode M1 (No in S23) and have received them in the second communication mode M2, the process proceeds to the next step. It is determined whether or not communication is performed with another device in the one communication mode M1 (S24 in FIG. 8).

  Here, since the lighting devices 10e and 10f are not communicating with other devices in the first communication mode M1 (No in S24), the turn-off commands received in the second communication mode M2 are executed (S25 in FIG. 8). ).

  On the other hand, since the lighting device 10d is communicating with the communication terminal 60 in the first communication mode M1 (Yes in S24), the lighting command received in the second communication mode M2 is ignored and not executed. Maintain operating condition. In addition, the lighting device 10d notifies the communication terminal 50 of pop-up response information indicating that the received turn-off command is not executed.

  That is, in the lighting devices 10a to 10f according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, an operator in the vicinity of the lighting device 10a collectively uses the communication terminal 50 to the lighting devices 10a to 10f.
