It may be an office, a factory, or the like, which is an individual building, or a dwelling unit of an apartment house.

  The control device 20 acquires control information from the user terminal 3 via the network 2 and controls the lighting device 10 to be controlled by the user terminal 3. Further, the control device 20 may be, for example, various home electric appliances (not shown) installed in the same room as the lighting device 10 via, for example, a HAN (Home Area Network) or a cloud-type HNS (Home Network System) (not shown). Controls communication between and. Here, the home appliance corresponds to, for example, an air conditioner, a television, a microwave oven, and the like. The configuration of the control device 20 will be described later.

  The network 2 corresponds to, for example, the Internet or the like. The lighting device 10 can be remotely controlled by the user terminal 3 via the network 2.

  The user terminal 3 is a terminal that can be carried by a resident or the like, and corresponds to, for example, a smartphone, a tablet, or the like. The user terminal 3 includes, for example, a control unit 31, a storage unit 32, a communication unit 33, an operation unit 34, and a display unit 35. The control unit 31 is, for example, a CPU, an MPU, or the like, and executes various types of information processing according to a program stored in the storage unit 32. The storage unit 32 is, for example, a flash memory or a RAM, and holds a program executed by the control unit 31 and various data. The storage unit 32 also operates as a work memory of the control unit 31. The communication unit 33 is an interface or the like, and communicates with the lighting system 1 via the network 2. The operation unit 34 is, for example, a button, a touch panel, or the like, and receives a user's instruction operation, and outputs the content of the instruction operation to the control unit 31. The display unit 35 is, for example, a liquid crystal display panel, an organic EL display panel, or the like, and displays information according to an instruction from the control unit 31.

  Here, as an example, a description will be given assuming that the user has downloaded the application for lighting control to the storage unit 32 via the network 2 in advance. When the user starts the application and operates the operation unit 34 according to the operation method displayed on the display unit 35, the control unit 31 generates control information for controlling the lighting device 10. Specifically, for example, control information for switching the lighting device 10 from the on state to the off state, control information for switching the lighting apparatus 10 from the off state to the on state, and the like are generated. The generated control information is transmitted to the control device 20 via the communication unit 33.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of a functional configuration of a control unit of the user terminal illustrated in FIG. As shown in FIG. 2, the control unit 31 of the user terminal 3 in the present embodiment functionally includes a terminal-side illumination ID acquisition unit 301 and a terminal-side control information acquisition unit 302.

  The terminal-side lighting ID acquisition unit 301 acquires a lighting ID that identifies the lighting device 10 that the user has instructed to control from the user terminal 3. The illumination ID is represented by, for example, A1, A2, or the like. The acquired lighting ID is transmitted to the control device 20 via the communication unit 33.

  The terminal-side control information acquisition unit 302 acquires, for example, control information indicating the control content of the lighting device 10 specified by the user from the user terminal 3. Specifically, the terminal-side control information acquisition unit 302 acquires, for example, identification information T1 representing control for switching the lighting device 10 from a lighting state to a lighting state. In addition, the terminal-side control information acquisition unit 302 acquires, for example, identification information T2 representing control for switching the lighting device 10 from the unlit state to the lit state. The acquired identification information is transmitted to the control device 20 via the communication unit 33.

  Returning to FIG. 1 again, the configuration of the control device 20 of the lighting system 1 will be described. The control device 20 includes, for example, a control unit 101, a storage unit 102, a communication unit 103, an operation unit 104, and a display unit 105, like the user terminal 3. Note that the main configurations of the control unit 101, the storage unit 102, the communication unit 103, the operation unit 104, and the display unit 105 are the same as those of the user terminal 3, and thus the description is omitted. Further, the control device 20 includes a power supply unit 106 that supplies power to the lighting device 10, a clock unit 107 that measures time, a reproduction unit 108 that reproduces audio, and the like, and is connected to the control unit 101.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of a functional configuration of a control unit of the lighting system illustrated in FIG. 1. As illustrated in FIG. 3, the control unit 101 of the lighting system 1 according to the present embodiment functionally includes a lighting ID acquisition unit 201, a control information acquisition unit 202, a pattern control information acquisition unit 203, and a lighting control unit 204.

  The lighting ID acquisition unit 201 acquires a lighting ID from the user terminal 3 via the network 2. For example, in the case of the above example, the illumination ID acquisition unit 201 acquires A1, A2, and the like.

  The control information acquisition unit 202 acquires control information from the user terminal 3 via the network 2. For example, in the case of the above example, the control information acquisition unit 202 acquires T1, T2, and the like.

  The pattern control information acquisition unit 203 acquires pattern control information associated with the lighting ID and the control information. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the pattern control information acquisition unit 203 acquires pattern control related information in which the lighting ID, the control information, and the pattern control information are associated. The pattern control information acquisition unit 203 acquires pattern control information associated with the acquired illumination ID and control information based on the pattern control related information. In the case of the above example, when A1 is acquired by the illumination ID acquiring unit 201 and T1 is acquired by the control information acquiring unit 202, since the pattern control information a is associated with A1 and T1, the pattern control information acquiring unit 203 Obtain control information a. When A1 is acquired by the illumination ID acquisition unit 201 and T2 is acquired by the control information acquisition unit 202, the pattern control information acquisition unit 203 determines that the pattern control information b is associated with A1 and T2. To get. The pattern control related information is, for example, set in advance by the user, and is stored in the storage unit 102, for example.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining an example of the pattern control information of the lighting system shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 5, the pattern control information a includes (1) first lighting control for making the lighting device 10 constant at the first brightness in the lighting state, and (2) first lighting control for lighting the lighting device 10. (3) third lighting control for keeping the lighting device 10 constant at the second brightness, (4) lighting device 10 for continuously reducing the brightness of the lighting device 10 to the second brightness. Fourth lighting control for continuously decreasing the second brightness from the second brightness to the third brightness in the turned-off state, (5) fifth lighting control for keeping the lighting device 10 constant at the third brightness in the turned-off state , In the pattern control information a, the steps (2) to (4) constitute a delay time from the start of turning off to the completion of turning off. By providing the delay time, it is possible to prevent a situation in which, for example, even if a turn-off command is received by remote control, a person who is working under illumination suddenly becomes obscured by darkness and cannot work. Further, the pattern control information b includes [1] first lighting control for making the lighting device 10 constant at the first brightness in the light-off state, and [2] first lighting control from the first brightness in the light-off state to the first brightness. A second lighting control for continuously increasing the brightness to 2; [3] a third lighting control for keeping the lighting device 10 constant at the second brightness; [4] a second brightness for the lighting device 10 , A fourth lighting control for continuously increasing the lighting brightness to a third brightness in the lighting state, and [5] a fifth lighting control for keeping the lighting device 10 constant at the third brightness in the lighting state. In the pattern control information b, the steps [2] to [4] constitute a delay time from the start of lighting to the completion of lighting. By providing this delay time, for example, even if a lighting command by remote control is received, a person working in a dark place may be in dazzled by the dazzling at the time of lighting and cause inconvenience such as a mistake in work. Can be prevented.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 5, in the pattern control information a, the brightness of the lighting device 10 in the step (3) occupying most of the delay time is, for example, assuming that the brightness in the lighting state is 100%. It is set to about 30%. This is because, for example, when the lighting device 10 is working in a lighting state (brightness is 100%), if it is immediately darkened to less than 30%, the worker is suddenly wrapped in darkness and cannot work. This is to prevent this. On the other hand, in the pattern control device b, the brightness of the lighting device 10 in the step [3], which occupies most of the delay time, is set to, for example, about 10% when the brightness in the lighting state is 100%. I have. This is because, for example, when the illuminating device 10 is working in an extinguished state (brightness is 0%), the worker does not suffer from inconvenience such as dazzling at the time of lighting and erroneous work. This is because it is sufficient to pass through a brightness that is not completely dark. In any case, by setting the brightness of the illumination device 10 of the delay time to a necessary minimum, an effect of suppressing power consumption can also be achieved.

  Note that the pattern control information in the present embodiment is not limited to the above. For example, by setting the time of the steps (2) to (4) or [2] to [4] in the above example to be short, a configuration in which a delay time is not substantially provided may be adopted. In addition, the brightness of the lighting device 10 may be gradually (continuously) changed from a light-on (light-off) state to a light-off (light-on) state, or may be gradually changed in a fixed time span. Further, the color tone of the lighting device 10 may be changed instead of or together with the brightness of the lighting device 10.

  Returning to FIG. 3 again, the illumination control unit 204 controls the brightness of the illumination device 10 based on the acquired pattern control information. The brightness of the lighting device 10 can be controlled by a known method such as changing the amount of current or the time for supplying power by the power supply unit 106. In the case of the above example, the clock unit 107 determines the elapsed time from when the control information acquisition unit 202 acquires the identification information T1 or T2, and the time of (1) to (5) and [1] to [5]. The time for determining whether or not the timing to start or end each step has come is measured.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of a flow of the lighting system illustrated in FIG. 1. As shown in FIG. 6, the lighting ID acquisition unit 201 acquires the lighting ID from the user terminal 3 via the network 2 (S101). The control information acquisition unit 202 acquires control information from the user terminal 3 via the network 2 (S102). The pattern control information acquisition unit 203 acquires pattern control information of the lighting device 10 based on the acquired lighting ID and control information (S103). The illumination control unit 204 controls the brightness of the illumination device 10 based on the acquired pattern control information (S104). Note that the present embodiment is not limited to the above flow, and various modifications are possible. For example, the order of S101 and S102 may be reversed.

  According to the present embodiment, even if the lighting inside the house is remotely controlled from outside the house, since a delay time is provided until the lighting is completely turned on or off, for example, a person working under the lighting In addition, it is possible to prevent the eyes from adapting to a sudden change in brightness and causing an inconvenience such as a work error. In addition, since the lighting device 10 changes the brightness based on the preset pattern control information, the operator knows that the lighting device 10 will be turned on or off soon after the change of the brightness starts. The inconvenience can be avoided.

  The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and is replaced by a configuration substantially the same as the configuration shown in the above embodiment, a configuration having the same operation and effect, or a configuration capable of achieving the same object. You may. Specifically, for example, it may be configured as in the following modified example.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of a functional configuration of a control unit according to a modification of the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 7, in the present modification, for example, a notification information acquisition unit 205 and a notification unit 206 are further included.

  The notification information acquisition unit 205 acquires the notification related information in which the lighting ID, the control information, and the notification information are associated. As shown in FIG. 8, for example, the notification-related information is associated with a lighting ID, control information, and notification information. Then, the notification information acquisition unit 205 acquires the notification information associated with the acquired lighting ID and control information based on the notification related information. The notification-related information is, for example, preset by the user, and is stored in, for example, the storage unit 102.

  Here, the notification information is, for example, identification information (for example, W1) for indicating by voice information notifying that the lighting is to be turned off, and identification information for indicating by voice the information of notifying that the lighting is to be turned on soon. (For example, W2).

  The notification unit 206 performs notification based on the notification information acquired by the notification information acquisition unit 205. Specifically, for example, the reproduction unit 108 reproduces a sound based on the acquired identification information W1. Note that the notification method is not limited to the above example. For example, a message similar to the notification content by voice in the above example may be displayed on the display unit 105, for example.

  According to the modification, a person in the same room as the lighting device 10 can not only know from the change in the brightness of the lighting that the lighting will be turned on or off soon, but also can clearly perceive it by hearing or the like. Therefore, predictability is obtained and no inconvenience occurs.

  (Second embodiment)

  Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the following, description of the same points as in the first embodiment will be omitted.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of a functional configuration of a control unit of the lighting system according to the second embodiment. As shown in FIG. 9, the control unit 101 of the lighting system 1 according to the present embodiment functionally includes a lighting ID acquisition unit 201, a control information acquisition unit 202, a pattern control information acquisition unit 203, a lighting control unit 204, and a home appliance ID acquisition. Unit 207 and a home appliance output acquisition unit 208.

  The lighting ID acquisition unit 201 acquires the lighting ID from the user terminal 3 via the network 2 as in the first embodiment. For example, in the case of the above example, the illumination ID acquisition unit 201 acquires A1, A2, and the like.

  The control information acquisition unit 202 acquires control information from the user terminal 3 via the network 2 as in the first embodiment. For example, in the case of the above example, the control information acquisition unit 202 acquires T1, T2, and the like.

  The pattern control information acquisition unit 203 acquires the pattern control information associated with the illumination ID and the control information, as in the first embodiment. For example, in the case of the above example, the pattern control information acquisition unit 203 acquires a, b, and the like.

  The home appliance ID acquisition unit 207 acquires a home appliance ID that identifies a home appliance (not shown) associated with the lighting device 10. The home appliance ID is represented by, for example, S1, S2, and the like. For example, based on the illumination ID acquired from the illumination ID acquisition unit 201, the home appliance ID acquisition unit 207 acquires home appliance related information in which the illumination ID and the home appliance ID are associated, as illustrated in FIG. The home appliance ID acquisition unit 207 acquires a home appliance ID associated with the acquired lighting ID based on the home appliance related information. In the case of the above example, when the lighting ID of A1 is acquired from the lighting ID acquiring unit 201, the household appliance ID of S1 is associated with A1, and the household appliance ID acquiring unit 207 acquires the household appliance ID of S1. When the lighting ID of A2 is acquired from the lighting ID acquiring unit 201, the household appliance ID of S2 is associated with A2, and the household appliance ID acquiring unit 207 acquires the household appliance ID of S2.

  The home appliance-related information is, for example, information set in advance by the user for the lighting device 10 and home electric appliances (not shown) provided in the same room, and is stored in the storage unit 102, for example. Here, the home appliance (not shown) corresponds to, for example, an air conditioner, but is not limited to this. Due to the nature of the home appliance, there is a high possibility that there is a person in the room when the home appliance is operating (or stopped), or in the room when the home appliance is operating (or stopped). If it can be empirically said that there is a high possibility that there is no home appliance, it can be used as a home appliance in the present embodiment. For example, a television, a microwave oven, and the like can be used in the present embodiment because it can be empirically said that there is a high possibility that a person is in the room when these home appliances are in operation.

  The home appliance output acquisition unit 208 acquires an output signal indicating an operation state from a home appliance (not shown) identified by the home appliance ID acquired from the home appliance ID acquisition unit 207. Specifically, the home appliance output acquisition unit 208 acquires an ON output signal when the home appliance is in operation. On the other hand, if the home electric appliance is stopped, an OFF output signal is obtained.

  The illumination control unit 204 determines whether to perform control based on the acquired pattern control information based on the output signal acquired from the home appliance output acquisition unit 208. For example, when the illumination control unit 204 acquires an ON output signal from the home appliance output acquisition unit 208, the illumination control unit 204 does not turn off the light even if the pattern control information a is acquired from the pattern control information acquisition unit 203, that is, the state remains unchanged. (Lighting state) may be maintained. On the other hand, when the illumination control unit 204 acquires the OFF output signal from the home appliance output acquisition unit 208, for example, if the illumination control unit 204 acquires the pattern control information a from the pattern control information acquisition unit 203, it performs the extinguishing control based on this. It may be.

  FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating an example of a flow of the lighting system according to the second embodiment. As shown in FIG. 11, the lighting ID acquisition unit 206 acquires the lighting ID from the user terminal 3 via the network 2 (S201). The control information acquisition unit 202 acquires control information from the user terminal 3 via the network 2 (S202). The pattern control information acquisition unit 203 acquires pattern control information of the lighting device 10 based on the acquired lighting ID and control information (S203). The home appliance ID acquisition unit 207 acquires a home appliance ID for identifying a home appliance (not shown) associated with the acquired lighting ID (S204). The home appliance output acquisition unit 208 acquires an output signal indicating an operation state from a home appliance (not shown) identified by the home appliance ID acquired from the home appliance ID acquisition unit 207. (S205). The lighting control unit 204 determines whether the output signal acquired by the home appliance output acquisition unit 208 is ON (S206). If it is not ON, the lighting control unit 204 controls the brightness of the lighting device 10 based on the acquired pattern control information (S206). On the other hand, when it is ON, the illumination control unit 204 does not perform control based on the acquired pattern control information. Note that the present embodiment is not limited to the above flow, and various modifications are possible. For example, the order of S201 and S202 may be reversed.

  According to the present embodiment, for example, judging from the driving situation of the home electric appliance, when the possibility that a person is under the lighting is low, the control of the lighting by remote control is performed. When the value is high, it is possible to not perform the control of the lighting by remote control. Thereby, for example, it is possible to prevent inconvenience to a person working under lighting.

  The present embodiment is not limited to the above, and may be replaced with a configuration that is substantially the same as the configuration described above, that has the same function and effect, or that can achieve the same object. Specifically, in the above example, a configuration is used in which an output signal from a home appliance is used to determine the presence or absence of a lighting user. However, instead of this configuration, for example, a configuration such as the following modified example is used. You may.

  For example, the lighting device 10 may include a sensor (not shown) that outputs a detection signal when detecting a person. For example, when the illumination control unit 204 acquires an ON output signal from the sensor, the illumination control unit 204 does not extinguish the light even if the pattern control information a is acquired from the pattern control information acquisition unit 203, that is, the illumination control unit 204 remains in the same state (lighting state). ) May be maintained. On the other hand, when the illumination control unit 204 does not acquire the ON output signal from the sensor, for example, if the pattern control information a is acquired from the pattern control information acquisition unit 203, the illumination control unit 204 may perform the extinguishing control based on this. . Thus, for example, when a person detected by the sensor is working under illumination, it can be prevented that the person is inconvenienced. Here, the sensor is, for example, a human sensor that detects a person based on a change in infrared rays, but is not limited thereto. For example, a microphone may be used, or a sensor unique to ceiling air purification such as a dust sensor or an odor sensor may be used.

  For example, the lighting device 10 is a terminal device that can communicate with the lighting device 10, and may have a remote controller (not shown) that outputs an instruction signal for turning on and off the lighting device 10, for example. For example, when the instruction signal from the remote controller is acquired, the illumination control unit 204 does not turn off the light even if the pattern control information a is acquired from the pattern control information acquisition unit 203. May be maintained. On the other hand, when the illumination control unit 204 does not acquire the instruction signal from the remote controller, for example, if the pattern control information a is acquired from the pattern control information acquisition unit 203, the lighting control unit 204 may perform the extinguishing control based on this. Thus, for example, when a person who has performed a remote control operation is working under illumination, it is possible to prevent the inconvenience of the person.

  The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications are possible. For example, a configuration substantially the same as the configuration described in the above embodiment, a configuration having the same operation and effect, or a configuration capable of achieving the same object can be used. This embodiment may be used in combination with the above-described first and second embodiments and the above-described modifications as long as they do not contradict each other.

  For example, the lighting system 1 may include a feedback unit (not shown) that generates feedback information indicating an execution state in response to a remote lighting control instruction and transmits the feedback information to the user terminal 3 or the like. Specifically, for example, when the lighting control unit 204 acquires the pattern control information a but does not perform the light-off control because the ON output signal is acquired from the home appliance output acquiring unit 208, for example, the message “People may be present It may transmit the feedback information of “there is a possibility” and “lighting ON” to the user terminal 3 and may display it on the display unit 35 or the display unit 105, for example. On the other hand, when the lighting control unit 204 has performed an extinguishing control because it has obtained an OFF output signal from the home appliance output obtaining unit 208, the lighting control unit 204 transmits feedback information of, for example, “lighting OFF” to the user terminal 3 and, for example, displays the display unit. 35 or the display unit 105. Thus, the user can confirm whether the control instruction by the remote operation has been performed or not, and if not, for what reason.

  For example, a configuration for approving delayed or canceled processing may be added to the first and second embodiments. For example, it is possible to adopt a configuration in which, when there is a notification that lighting will be performed shortly by voice, if a person in the house approves by voice, the lighting is turned on. According to this, the lighting state desired by the user is quickly realized without waiting for the elapse of the delay time.
