【０１０５】
また、図１１６（ｂ）のように、データ領域を１０ｂｉｔに広げ、調光比などの明るさを指定して点灯状態を変更することができる。また同様に現在の点灯状態に対して、明るくする／暗くする、といった命令を送ることも可能である。
【０１０６】
図１１４の実施例では人感センサ１４と明るさセンサ１５をポーチライト１に設置し、また、人感センサ単体をシステム内に配しているが、これらを用いない制御形態も考えられるし、また、その設置場所も特に限定するものではなく、他の照明器具やコントローラに備わるというものでもよい。
【０１０７】
（実施例２）
図１１７の実施例では、コントローラ５に操作部５２のみが設けられており、操作部５２の操作に応じて各器具に命令を送る制御形態となっているが、時間の経過とともに順次自動的に命令を送る、あるいは他のトリガによって命令を送る、といった制御形態でも良い。各器具に対する命令は、器具ＩＤと点灯制御指令よりなり、点灯制御指令には、全点灯、調光点灯、消灯、ｘｘ％の調光点灯、明るさＵＰ、明るさＤＯＷＮなどの指令が含まれる。
【０１０８】
（実施例３）
図１１８の実施例では、コントローラ５に人感センサ５３が内蔵されており、人体を検知すると、所定の器具に対して点灯指令を送出する。また、コントローラ５に明るさセンサ５４が内蔵されており、所定の明るさ以下になると、所定の器具に対して点灯指令を送出する。図示された例では、コントローラ５の送信部５１から器具ＩＤと点灯制御指令が送信され、これを受信した器具１〜３が自己のＩＤの点灯制御指令を実行する。点灯制御指令には、上記実施例と同様に、全点灯、調光点灯、消灯、ｘｘ％の調光点灯、明るさＵＰ、明るさＤＯＷＮなどの指令が含まれる。
【０１０９】
（実施例４）
図１１９の実施例では、ポーチライト１の人感センサ１４によってポーチライト１と内玄関灯２が連動して動作する。ポーチライト１の人感センサ１４が人体を検知すると、点灯制御部１２が負荷制御部１１に指令を出してランプ１０を点灯するとともに、点灯制御部１２内のＲＦ送信部Ｔｘから内玄関灯２に対して点灯指令を送出する。内玄関灯２はこれを受けて同時に連動して点灯する。ポーチライト１の消灯と同時に消灯信号を送出すれば、同時に内玄関灯２も消灯する。
【０１１０】
（実施例５）
図１２０の実施例では、コントローラ５から照明器具のＩＤを指定して設定情報を送るものである。図示された例では、ポーチライト１に対してコントローラ５から設定を行う場合を示しており、センサ１４，１５より得られる環境情報に対して動作を行う闘値などを設定できる。また、周囲照度が設定する闘値より低くなれば点灯する、調光比を変える、などの動作パターンを設定できる。また、設定した時刻になったら点灯を開始する、あるいは消灯する、あるいは調光比を変える、などを設定できる。また、人感センサをトリガとして、点灯を開始し、設定した時間点灯を保持する、などの動作を設定するものである。この場合、各器具が設定された値によって動作する形となるため、コントローラ自身が起動していないか、或いは、不動作になっているとしても個々に独立して動作を継続させることができる。また、決められた時刻に点灯・消灯するような照明システムを構成する場合、コントローラ５またはいずれかの器具に時計１６を設けて時刻を計時し、各器具１〜３にほぼ同一のタイミングで点灯制御指令を与えるようにすれば、統一した動作を実現できる。
【０１１１】
（実施例６）
図１２１の実施例は、コントローラ５からＲＦ信号を用いて各器具にＩＤ問い合わせを行い、各器具からＲＦ信号を用いて返信されるＩＤ情報を取得する。図示された例では、コントローラ５の送信部ＴｘからＩＤ問い合わせのためのＲＦ信号が送信されると、ポーチライト１からは器具ＩＤとセンサＩＤなどのＩＤ情報が返信され、内玄関灯２からは器具ＩＤが返信される。これにより、コントローラ５から各器具の点灯状態を制御する場合に、操作部５２の各スイッチに対応する器具のＩＤや、センサ入力に対して点灯制御を行う器具のＩＤといった情報をコントローラ５に登録することができる。このように設定情報をやり取りすることによりシステムの設置が容易になる効果がある。
【０１１２】
（実施例７）
図１２２の実施例は、コントローラ５などに備わる表示部５５に、点灯状態を表示できるようにしたものである。そのために、ポーチライト１、内玄関灯２、リビングの主照明３の各器具は、全点灯、調光点灯、消灯などの点灯状態情報を自己のＩＤと共にコントローラ５にＲＦ信号で送信する。図示された例では、コントローラ５の操作部５２の各スイッチに設けられたＬＥＤによる状態表示により、ポーチライト１は全点灯、内玄関灯２は調光点灯、リビングの主照明３は消灯状態であることが分かる。また、図１１６（ｂ）のような長い信号フォーマットを用いて、調光比のデータを伝送することにより、コントローラ５の表示部５５には調光点灯時の調光比を表示できるようにしている。図示された例では、内玄関灯２が３０％の調光比で調光点灯されていることが分かる。
【０１１３】
この例では、各器具１〜３の点灯状態をコントローラ５に対して送信し、コントローラ５に備える表示部５５に点灯状態情報を表示してユーザに知らしめるものであるが、表示部はコントローラ５に付随するものとは限らず、独立したユニットであってもよいし、照明器具１〜３のいずれかに備わるものでもよい。
【０１１４】
（実施例８）
図１２３の実施例はセンサ情報をそのまま伝送するものである。ポーチライト１に備わる人感センサ１４が人体を検知した際に、点灯制御部１２の送信部Ｔｘからは「人感センサ（ポーチ）が人体検知した」という情報が送信される。これを受けた各器具（内玄関灯、リビング主照明など）が個々にそのセンサ情報により点灯を開始する、あるいは調光比を変化させる等の点灯の判断を行う。
【０１１５】
また、ポーチライト１に備わる明るさセンサ１５による周囲照度の検出値に応じて、点灯制御部１２の送信部Ｔｘからは「明るさセンサ（ポーチ）では周囲照度が〜である」という情報が送信される。これを受けた各器具（内玄関灯、リビング主照明など）が個々にそのセンサ情報により点灯を開始するか否か、あるいは点灯する調光比などを判断する。
【０１１６】
（実施例９）
図１２４の実施例はコントローラ５などに備わる表示部５５に人感センサの検知状態や明るさセンサの検出照度を表示できるようにしたものである。本実施例のシステム構成例を図１２５に示す。ポーチライト１の人感センサ１４や明るさセンサ１５による人体検知、周囲照度などのセンサ情報は、点灯制御部１２の送信部Ｔｘから送信され、コントローラ５の受信部Ｒｘで受信される。コントローラ５では、受信されたセンサ情報に基づいて人体検知、周囲照度などを表示する。
【０１１７】
これら実施例１〜９では、ＩＤを２ｂｉｔとして受信元ＩＤをＲＦ信号中に入れる形で示したが、送信元ＩＤあるいはその両方を入れる形としても良い。また、データ領域は伝送するデータの種類やパラメータ数などに応じて適宜拡張して考えて良い。
【０１１８】
【発明の効果】
本発明の照明システムによれば、点灯状態の制御指令又は現在の点灯状態又は設定情報をＲＦ信号により伝送するようにしたので、従来の赤外線での通信を用いる照明システムに比べると、一つの空間だけでなく他の空間も含めて確実に制御あるいは設定ができ、信号送受信部の方向の設定も容易になり、器具あるいはコントローラなどの取り付けを容易にするという効果がある。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a wireless illumination system using an RF signal.
[0002]
[Prior art]
FIG. 103 shows the configuration of Conventional Example 1. This example is a so-called remote control lighting device that has the infrared remote control receiving unit 13a in the lighting device 1 and controls lighting of the lighting device 1 in combination with the controller 5 having the operation unit 52 and the infrared remote control transmission unit 51a. Such a system is very convenient because it can control lighting without special wiring and can be operated at any place.
[0003]
Another conventional example is shown in FIG. This is a lighting fixture that is automatically turned on by the human sensor 53. The sensor unit is separated from the lighting fixture 1, and information detected by the sensor is transmitted by infrared rays. The reason for the separation is that it is desired to use it effectively even when it is desired to change the human detection area and the illumination lighting area. Therefore, the user can install the controller 5 including the sensor 53 and the transmission unit 51a in any desired position, and can light up the controller 5 at a preferred position.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, both of the conventional examples are infrared communication and have the disadvantage that it is difficult to control only in the same space where the line of sight is good, and the control space is complicated, or the lighting fixture and the sensor unit (including the remote control transmission unit) When the installation position of the sensor is out of the infrared beam angle, there is a possibility that transmission may be uncertain. In order to improve these, it is necessary to increase the infrared transmission power or widen the beam angle, which has the disadvantage of increasing the power consumption and increasing the number of infrared LEDs.
[0005]
An object of the present invention is to solve these problems and to provide a wireless illumination system using radio waves (RF signals) that can be reliably controlled not only in one space but also in other spaces.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
According to the lighting system of the present invention, One or a plurality of lamps, one or a plurality of load control units for controlling the lighting of the lamps based on the lighting state signal, and the lighting state signal based on a control command or setting information of a predetermined lighting state Illumination provided with one or a plurality of lighting control units, and provided with a radio signal transmitting unit or receiving unit in the lighting control unit so as to be able to transmit the control command of the lighting state or the current lighting state or the predetermined setting information A plurality of controllers equipped with an appliance, a wireless signal transmitter or receiver, and capable of transmitting a lighting state control command or the predetermined setting information to the lighting controller, and acquiring ambient environment information, and lighting based on this It consists of sensors that perform control, and a plurality of controllers and at least one master unit are connected via a wired or wireless transmission system, and the controller controls lighting based on commands from the master unit So as to determine the transmission signal to the, A transmission source identification code and / or a destination identification code are transmitted together when transmitting a radio signal.
[0007]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Embodiment 1 is shown in FIG. The lighting system shown in FIG. 1 includes one lighting fixture 1 and one controller 5. The luminaire 1 includes a lighting control unit 12 that determines a lighting state based on the RF signal received by the RF receiving unit 13 and a load control unit 11 that controls the lamp 10 based on the determined lighting state. The controller 5 includes an operation unit 52 and an RF transmission unit 51, and transmits an RF signal based on the operation content of the user. A unique ID number (IDT1) is set in the controller 5, and the ID number and operation content data are transmitted as an RF signal. For example, when an operation for turning on the lamp 10 is performed by the operation unit 52, the ID (= IDT1) on the transmission side and data indicating lamp lighting are transmitted as the RF signal. When the lighting fixture 1 receives the lamp lighting data, the lighting fixture 1 performs load control so that the lamp 10 is turned on. Further, instead of data indicating lighting, information indicating that a specific operation has been performed may be transmitted, and the instrument 1 that has received the RF signal may turn on the lamp 10 based on the information on the specific operation.
[0008]
At this time, the transmission side ID is set as a value unique to each controller 5, and even if there are a plurality of similar systems in the vicinity (range where radio waves reach), individual ID numbers This makes it possible to identify the controller 5 that has transmitted the RF signal. The luminaire 1 identifies the transmission ID number included in the RF signal to determine whether it is the RF signal of the controller 5 (paired) in the same system. If it is a signal, the lighting state is determined based on the received data. In this way, by including the transmission source ID in the RF signal, lighting control can be performed without malfunction even if several systems are mixed in the vicinity.
[0009]
A second embodiment is shown in FIG. The lighting system shown in FIG. 2 includes one lighting fixture 1 and one controller 5. The luminaire 1 includes a lighting control unit 12 that determines a lighting state based on the RF signal received by the RF receiving unit 13 and a load control unit 11 that controls the lamp 10 based on the determined lighting state. The controller 5 includes an operation unit 52 and an RF transmission unit 51, and transmits an RF signal based on the operation content of the user. A unique ID number (IDR1) is set in the lighting device 1, and the ID number and operation content data are transmitted as an RF signal. The lighting fixture 1 performs lighting control based on data when the value of the reception source ID included in the received signal matches the ID number set in the fixture itself. In this way, by including the ID of the reception source (partner) in the RF signal, lighting control can be performed without malfunction even if several systems are mixed in the vicinity. Further, even if the controller is changed, it is not necessary to change the ID setting of the appliance, and the setting may be made on the controller side. Therefore, it is easy to deal with the case where the instrument is installed at a site where setting is difficult.
[0010]
FIG. 3 shows a third embodiment. The lighting system of FIG. 3 includes one lighting fixture 1 and one controller 5. The luminaire 1 includes a lighting control unit 12 that determines a lighting state based on the RF signal received by the RF receiving unit 13 and a load control unit 11 that controls the lamp 10 based on the determined lighting state. The controller 5 includes an operation unit 52 and an RF transmission unit 51, and transmits an RF signal based on the operation content of the user. A unique ID number (IDT1, IDR1) is set for each of the controller 5 and the luminaire 1, and the ID number and operation content data are transmitted as an RF signal. The lighting fixture 1 performs lighting control based on data when the value of the reception source ID included in the received signal matches the ID number set in the fixture itself. Furthermore, at this time, as in the first embodiment, by identifying the value of the transmission source ID, it can be confirmed that the signals are transmitted from a pair of controllers in the same system, and the lighting control is performed more reliably and without malfunction. The action can be performed.
[0011]
If the ID number is set by identifying only the transmission source ID (first embodiment), half the number of bits is assigned to each of the transmission source ID and the reception source ID (destination ID). If the same number of combinations are assigned, and the same number of bits are assigned, the number of combinations is increased, so that the possibility of malfunctions when the ID numbers of similar systems match is reduced.
[0012]
In this way, by including the transmission source ID and the reception source ID (destination ID) in the RF signal, lighting control can be performed without malfunction even if several systems are mixed in the vicinity. Further, more reliable data communication is possible as compared with the first embodiment using only the transmission source ID and the second embodiment using only the reception source ID (destination ID).
[0013]
FIG. 4 shows a fourth embodiment. The following embodiment is an example of controlling a plurality of lights with one controller. The lighting system shown in FIG. 4 includes a plurality of lighting fixtures 1, 2,... The first lighting fixture 1 includes a lighting control unit 12 that determines a lighting state based on an RF signal received by the RF receiving unit 13, and a load control unit 11 that controls the lamp 10 based on the determined lighting state. The 2nd lighting fixture 2 has the lighting control part 22 which determines a lighting state based on RF signal received with the RF receiving part 23, and the load control part 21 which controls the lamp | ramp 20 based on this determined lighting state. Similarly, the n-th lighting fixture 4 includes a lighting control unit 42 that determines a lighting state based on the RF signal received by the RF receiving unit 43 and a load control unit 41 that controls the lamp 40 based on the determined lighting state. Here, n = 4, but the number n of lighting fixtures is not limited to this.
[0014]
The controller 5 includes an operation unit 52 and an RF transmission unit 51, and transmits an RF signal based on the operation content of the user. A unique ID number (IDT1) is set in the controller 5, and the ID number and operation content data are transmitted as an RF signal. For example, when an operation for turning on the lamps 10, 20,..., 40 is performed by the operation unit 52, an ID (= IDT1) on the transmission side and data indicating lamp lighting are transmitted as an RF signal. When receiving the lamp lighting data, the lighting fixtures 1, 2,..., 4 perform load control so that the lamps 10, 20,.
[0015]
At this time, the transmission side ID is set as a value unique to each controller, and even when there are a plurality of similar systems, the RF signal is transmitted by discriminating individual ID numbers. The controller can be specified. The luminaire identifies the transmission ID number included in the RF signal to determine whether it is an RF signal of a (paired) controller in the same system, and is a signal from the paired controller. In such a case, the lighting state is determined based on the received data.
[0016]
In addition, when a plurality of lighting fixtures perform the same operation, they may be operated only by matching the transmission source ID. When it is desired to perform a different operation for each lighting fixture, which fixture is included in the data portion of the RF signal. It is also possible to insert information on whether or not the signal is for a device that has received the RF signal and to control lighting based on this. For example, in a system composed of a plurality of lighting fixtures, when performing operations for each group by grouping several groups, group numbers that can be identified by the number of groups are included in the data portion of the RF signal. Try to put it in. Since the signal from the controller in the same system as in the first embodiment can be identified by the transmission source ID, even when the same signal from the controller in another system with the same group number is received, malfunction occurs. Will not cause. Thus, according to this embodiment, lighting control can be performed without malfunction even when a plurality of systems are mixed in the vicinity. In addition, lighting control of a plurality of lighting fixtures is possible with a single controller regardless of direction and location.
[0017]

[0059]
The following Embodiments 85 to 94 have a configuration in which a plurality of human sensors and a plurality of brightness sensors are included in Embodiments 7 to 16.
85 is shown in Embodiment 7, Embodiment 86 shown in FIG. 86 is in Embodiment 8, and Embodiment 87 shown in FIG. 87 is in Embodiment 9, respectively. , 83 and a plurality of brightness sensors 54, 64,. 88 is shown in Embodiment 10, Embodiment 89 shown in FIG. 89 is in Embodiment 11, and Embodiment 90 shown in FIG. 90 is in Embodiment 12, respectively. ,..., 83 and a plurality of brightness sensors 54, 64,.
[0060]

[0061]
91 is shown in Embodiment 13, Embodiment 92 shown in FIG. 92 is in Embodiment 14, Embodiment 93 shown in FIG. 93 is in Embodiment 15, and Embodiment 94 shown in FIG. In the form 16, a plurality of human sensors 53, 63,... 83 and a plurality of brightness sensors 54, 64,. When the master unit receives a signal from the controller, the master unit transmits an RF signal so that the corresponding lighting fixture performs lighting control. The operation of the master unit is set by the system control unit for each controller and each operation content for lighting equipment that performs lighting operation and the content of lighting control for operation from the controller or human body detection by human sensor And what transmits an RF signal with respect to a lighting fixture according to the RF signal received from the controller is mentioned. For example, the master unit manages settings such that the lighting device 1 is turned on for the human body detection of the human sensor of the controller 5 and the lighting devices 2 and 3 are turned on for the switch operation of the controller 6. In addition, as the operation of the master unit, the lighting controller that performs the lighting operation for the detection value and lighting control signal by the brightness sensor and the content of the lighting control are set for each controller and for each operation content by the system control unit. There is one that transmits an RF signal to a lighting fixture in accordance with the RF signal received from the lighting device. For example, the setting of setting the dimming ratio of each lighting fixture in the system by the brightness sensor of the controller 5 and turning on the lighting fixture in response to the switch operation of the controller 6 is managed by the master unit. It is possible to save the trouble of performing the setting work for each lighting fixture or each controller. You may limit the instrument which performs light control ratio control in response to the detected value of a brightness sensor to some.
[0062]
Further, in the example in which the brightness sensor detection value is turned on only by the operation of the controller only when the brightness sensor detection value is equal to or less than the predetermined value, or the dimming ratio is controlled by the detection value of the brightness sensor when turning on by the operation of the controller. Set the dimming ratio and the reference value for brightness detection using the controller.
[0063]
In the above embodiments 91 to 94, operation setting and state grasping can be performed at one place by collective control by the master unit. Moreover, the cost of the system of many apparatuses can be suppressed by reducing the cost of an instrument and a controller. Further, when the system is identified only by the parent machine ID, the ID number is consumed less and the number of bits can be reduced, so that the communication time can be reduced and the responsiveness can be improved.
[0064]
In all the embodiments so far, the appliance may include a controller (human sensor, dimming control by brightness sensor, timer, switch). Further, the master unit may be integrated with the controller. Further, the master unit may be integrated with one of the lighting fixtures. Examples of types of information based on RF signals include detection, lighting control, dimming control, extinguishing, mode switching, operation setting, brightness detection value, dimming ratio increase / decrease, and the like. The RF signal may give a trigger for starting lighting in addition to lighting, and the lighting apparatus may count a predetermined time from the trigger and keep lighting or maintain a dimming state during that time.
[0065]
In the following embodiments, some configuration examples will be described in the case where the transmission source ID or the reception source ID (partner ID) is not included in the RF signal.
FIG. 95 shows an embodiment 95 of the present invention. The lighting fixture 1 is a fixture installed outdoors, such as a porch light, and the lighting fixture 2 is a fixture installed indoors, such as an interior entrance lamp. The luminaire 1 includes a lamp 10, a load control unit 11 that controls lighting of the lamp 10 based on a lighting state signal, and a lighting control that transmits the lighting state signal based on a control command or setting information of a predetermined lighting state. The lighting control unit 12 includes a radio signal transmission / reception unit 13 so that a lighting state control command, a current lighting state, or the predetermined setting information can be transmitted. The luminaire 2 also has the same configuration, and the lamp 20, the load control unit 21 that controls the lighting of the lamp 20 based on the lighting state signal, and the control command or setting information of a predetermined lighting state, A lighting control unit 22 that transmits a lighting state signal is provided, and the lighting control unit 22 is provided with a wireless signal transmission / reception unit 23 so that a control command of a lighting state, a current lighting state, or the predetermined setting information can be transmitted. . It is conceivable to set or control the appliances 1 and 2 individually or simultaneously from the controller 5 with such a configuration. The controller 5 includes a wireless signal transmission / reception unit 51 and is configured to transmit a lighting state control command or the predetermined setting information to the lighting control units 12 and 22.
[0066]
A specific operation example will be described below.
(Setting Example)
For example, when the appliances 1 and 2 have a function of automatically turning on at a certain time and the time is set from the controller 5, first, the appliance and the time are input by the operation unit 52 of the controller 5. When the setting operation is performed, setting information is transmitted from the transmission / reception unit 51 by radio waves (RF signals). For example, when the lighting fixture 1 is set, a response signal is returned from the RF transmission / reception unit 13 to the RF transmission / reception unit 51 of the controller 5. The setting is completed. Similarly, the setting of the lighting fixture 2 is also performed. It is also possible to set both instruments simultaneously.
[0067]
(Control example)
For example, there is a case where the lighting fixtures 1 and 2 are forcibly turned on and off by the controller 5 (such as an operation when sleeping at midnight). At this time, the controller 5 transmits an address of the lighting fixture 1 and a control command for the lighting state by radio waves (RF signal), and based on this, the lamp 10 of the lighting fixture 1 is turned on and off by the load control unit 11, and the status reply is returned. Returned to controller 5. Next, the address of the luminaire 2 and the lighting control command are transmitted, the lamp 20 of the luminaire 2 is turned on and off, the status reply is returned to the controller 5 and the control is completed.
[0068]
By performing setting and control with radio waves (RF signals) with such a configuration, setting and control of other spaces that have been difficult to realize up to now can be easily performed, and convenience is further improved. In addition, setting and control instrument information is returned to the RF transmitter / receiver 51 of the controller 5 so that the controller 5 can easily confirm the information.
[0069]
FIG. 96 shows an embodiment 96 of the present invention. The configuration is very similar to that of the embodiment 95, except that the human sensor 53 is connected to the controller 5. Since the operation at the time of setting is the same as that of the embodiment 95, the description thereof is omitted, and only an example at the time of control will be described. The controller 5 is generally installed indoors. When the controller 5 is installed around the inner entrance, the human sensor 53 detects when a person approaches and sends a detection signal to the controller 5. Upon receiving this signal, the controller 5 transmits the address of the lighting fixture 2 and the sensor detection signal from the RF transmission / reception unit 51 by radio waves (RF signal), and the lighting fixture 2 lights up the sensor. Control by the operation of the controller 5 is the same as that in the embodiment 95.
[0070]
As described above, in the embodiment 96, the controller 53 is provided with the sensor 53, and in addition to setting and controlling the lighting fixtures 1 and 2 from the controller 5, only the specific appliance 2 is lit when the human sensor 53 is detected. In particular, since the sensor 53 is on the controller 5 side, if the controller 5 is battery-driven, the degree of freedom of the installation location is high, and the positional relationship (distance and direction) between the lighting fixture 2 and the controller 5 However, even if it is difficult to transmit by the infrared method, there is an advantage that signal transmission can be reliably performed and sensor lighting is achieved.
[0071]
In this example, the transmission signal at the time of sensor detection from the controller 5 transmits the sensor information to the target instrument 2 as it is, and the lighting state is determined by determining on the instrument 2 side. May receive a lighting control command (lighting, extinguishing, etc.) to a specific device (in this case, lighting device 2).
[0072]
FIG. 97 shows an embodiment 97 of the present invention. This example is a lighting control example of a lighting fixture on a staircase, and controls a specific lighting fixture 1 from a plurality of controllers 5 and 6. A specific control example is shown below. The first controller 5 is installed on the floor, for example, and the second controller 6 is installed on the floor. The lighting fixture 1 is installed near the center of the stairs. Now, when a person operates the controller 6 downstairs, a transmission signal is transmitted from the RF transmitter 61 to the luminaire 1 by radio waves (RF signals) and received by the RF receiver 13 of the luminaire 1. Turns on (if off). Next, when the controller 5 is similarly operated on the floor, a transmission signal is transmitted to the lighting fixture 1 and received by the RF receiver 13 of the lighting fixture 1, and the lighting fixture 1 is turned off. In this example, lighting control is manually performed by a plurality of controllers 5 and 6, which has a wireless three-way switch function.
[0073]
FIG. 98 shows an embodiment 98 of the present invention. In this example, human sensors 53 and 63 are provided in the controllers 5 and 6 of the embodiment 97 to automatically control lighting of the lighting fixture 1. As for the operation, when a person approaches the controller 6 downstairs, the human sensor 63 operates, a sensor signal is transmitted from the RF transmitter 61 of the controller 6 to the lighting fixture 1 by radio waves (RF signal), and the lighting fixture 1 is lit by a timer. To do. Thereafter, if the sensor 63 does not operate during the timer period, the lighting fixture 1 is automatically turned off. The operation from the upper floor is the same.
[0074]
Since the radio wave (RF signal) is used in this way, the installation position of the human sensor and the installation position of the controller can be freely set, and the illumination is more reliable and reliable than the conventional infrared transmission. Control can be achieved. (When infrared rays are used, there is the trouble of changing the direction of the transmitting LED of the upstairs and downstairs controllers, and when the luminaire is installed in an atrium space, the distance becomes long and there is a problem in reachability. )
[0075]
FIG. 99 shows an embodiment 99 of the present invention. This example relates to interlock control of a plurality of lighting fixtures 1 to 4 in an entrance space, for example. The lighting fixtures 1, 2, 3 and 4 have human sensors 14, 24, 34 and 44, respectively, and these fixtures 1 to 4 are installed in the entrance space. When any of the appliances 2 receives information from the human sensor 24, a lighting signal is transmitted, and all the appliances 1 to 4 are lit in conjunction.
[0076]
The operation will be specifically described below. Now, when a person approaches the vicinity of the lighting fixture 2 and the built-in human sensor 24 detects it, the lamp 20 is turned on, and at the same time, the RF transmission / reception unit 23 of the lighting control unit 22 of the lighting fixture 2 is a parent appliance. The address of the instrument 1 and sensor detection information are transmitted by radio waves (RF signals). The lighting fixture 1 receives this signal by the RF transmission / reception unit 13 of the lighting control unit 12 and turns on its own lamp 10 and simultaneously returns its state to the lighting fixture 2. Next, the respective fixture addresses and sensor detection signals are transmitted to the other lighting fixtures 3 and 4. As a result, the luminaires 3 and 4 receive it, turn on their lamps 30 and 40, and return their state to the luminaire 1.
[0077]
By the above, each instrument 1-4 lights in response. Note that the extinguishing operation is automatically turned off if any sensor does not detect again within the lighting holding time. Regardless of the human sensor to be sensed, the information is transmitted to the lighting device 1 as the parent device and then transmitted to other devices.
[0078]
FIG. 100 shows an embodiment 100 of the present invention. In this example, the operation is the same as that in the embodiment 99, but the signal transmission method to each instrument when the sensor detects is different. Hereinafter, signal transmission in the present embodiment will be described. Now, when a person approaches the vicinity of the luminaire 2 and the built-in human sensor 24 detects it, the lamp 20 of the luminaire 2 is turned on, and at the same time, the RF transceiver 23 of the lighting control unit 22 of the luminaire 2 is switched to another luminaire. 1 address and sensor detection information are transmitted by radio waves (RF signals). The lighting fixture 1 receives this signal by the RF transmission / reception unit 13 of the lighting control unit 12, turns on its own lamp 10, and transmits its own fixture address and reception signal to the lighting fixture 2. Thereby, the lighting fixture 2 receives it and confirms that transmission control to the lighting fixture 1 is completed. Next, similar transmission data is transmitted to the luminaire 3, and a reply is confirmed from the luminaire 3. Furthermore, the same transmission is performed with respect to the lighting fixture 4, and all the fixtures 1-4 are lighted interlockingly. Even if the sensor of another lighting fixture detects, the same operation is performed. In this example, a parent device is not set, and when any device detects it, it transmits to all other devices.
[0079]
FIG. 101 shows an embodiment 101 of the present invention. This example is substantially the same as that of the embodiment 99, except that it is a unit having a human sensor 53 and an RF transmitter 51 instead of the lighting fixture 4. This is an example of an application in which the sensor 53 wants to detect when a person approaches the place, but the lighting itself is not necessary at the place. For example, the human sensor 53 is installed in the vicinity of the gatepost lamp, and the other lighting fixtures 1 to 3 are installed in the approach to the entrance. When a person enters from the gatepost, the lighting fixtures 1 to 3 to the entrance are turned on all at once. This is an example.
[0080]
FIG. 102 shows an embodiment 102 of the present invention. This example is almost the same as that of the embodiment 96, except that a unit having a human sensor 63 and an RF transmitter 61 is further added at a position away from the controller 5. This is an example for lighting the sensor at other locations near the entrance, and is a configuration that compensates for defects such as a detection area being narrow and difficult to detect with the configuration of Embodiment 96 alone. When either the human sensor 53 of the controller 5 or the external human sensor 63 detects the operation, the controller 5 receives this signal, and the controller 5 receives the address of the lighting fixture 2 and the sensor detection signal from the transmission / reception unit 51 as a radio wave (RF signal). And the lighting fixture 2 lights the sensor. Other operations are the same as those in the embodiment 96.
[0081]
In the embodiments so far, the lighting fixture has the RF transmission / reception unit. However, a system in which the RF transmission / reception unit and the lighting control unit are provided outside the lighting fixture may be used. The structure controlled by a part can be considered. Also in the embodiments described later, the lighting control unit is not necessarily provided in the appliance, but may be outside the appliance and send a lighting control signal to the load control unit in response to a lighting control command.
[0082]
Moreover, although the example of the lighting control by a human sensor was shown, the lighting control by a brightness sensor may be sufficient, and the control of starting lighting or changing the dimming ratio when it becomes darker than a predetermined value may be performed. . Or it is good also as what performs lighting control by the combination of these and a human sensitive sensor.
[0083]
FIG. 105 shows an embodiment 103 of the present invention. The configurations of the lighting fixtures 1, 2, and 3 are the same as those in the embodiment 100, 10, 20, and 30 are lamps, 11, 21, and 31 are load control units, 12, 22, and 23 are lighting control units, and 13, 23, Reference numeral 33 denotes an RF transmitter / receiver, and 14, 24 and 34 are human sensors. All of these operate as one instrument, but each sensor information is transmitted from each instrument by an RF signal, and the other instruments determine their position based on this information and determine the optimum lighting state.
[0084]
A specific control example will be described with reference to FIG. This figure is a plan view of a certain work space (such as an office). Each of ap is a lighting fixture. Now, assume that a person is around the lighting fixture a. If it does so, the human sensor of the lighting fixture a will detect, and the information will be transmitted to other fixtures by RF signal. Each fixture receives sensor information from the lighting fixture a and determines whether or not it is lit. Although the lighting fixtures b to i do not have their own human feeling information, they are located around the lighting fixture a and light up when received. Since the other lighting fixtures j to p are relatively far from the lighting fixture a, they remain off. Every time a person moves, such information is exchanged to maintain an optimal lighting state. In addition to optimum energy saving control by such control, there is a feature that a special control line is not required and there is no distance limitation as in the infrared system, and control over a relatively wide range is possible.
[0085]
FIG. 107 shows an example in which the distributed control in FIG. 105 is changed to the centralized control method from the base unit 5, and the lighting operation of the lamp by human detection is the same as in the case of the distributed control in FIG. In the case of, as in the above-described embodiment 99, all the detection information is transmitted to the base unit 5 for the time being, and the lighting fixtures 1, 2, and 3 are controlled from the base unit 5.
[0086]
FIG. 108 shows an embodiment 104 of the present invention. Reference numeral 6 denotes a controller. In this configuration example, a plurality of lighting fixtures 1 to 3 are collectively controlled by the controller 6, for example, time schedule control at a convenience store or the like.
[0087]
A specific example will be described below. As an example of the time schedule, for example, 80% dimming because the surroundings are bright in the daytime, 100% dimming at night, and 70% dimming because there are few people at midnight. It will change automatically.
[0088]
At the beginning of the time, the appliance address and the dimming level are transmitted from the RF transmitter 61 built in the controller 6 to each of the appliances 1 to 3. Each of the appliances 1 to 3 receives the RF signal by the built-in RF receivers 13, 23 and 33, and lights the lamps 10, 20 and 30 at the dimming level.
[0089]
In addition to optimum energy saving control by such control, there is a feature that a special control line is not required and there is no distance limitation as in the infrared system, and control over a relatively wide range is possible. In addition, compared with the case where a signal is always output in a wired manner, since an RF signal is transmitted only when there is a change, there is an advantage that power consumption can be reduced.
[0090]
In this embodiment, the dimming ratio and the time for switching it are sent as setting information from the controller 6 to the appliances 1 to 3 in advance, and the appliances 1 to 3 acquire the clock information as environment information and set the time. You may make it work when it comes. In that case, the clock information may be provided from the controller 6 by an RF signal.
[0091]
FIG. 109 shows an embodiment 105 of the present invention. This example is a configuration example similar to that of the embodiment 104, except that the brightness sensor 64 and the human sensor 63 are connected to the controller 6, and the floor illuminance is always constant in an office or a store. In addition, when there is no person, the system is configured to be turned off or dimmed.
[0092]
A specific operation will be described below with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The level of the brightness sensor 64 built in the controller is measured and compared with a set value at a predetermined illuminance. If it does not match the set value, adjust the dimming level sent to each instrument. If the brightness level is lower than the set value, the dimming level is increased, and if it is higher, the dimming level is decreased. The adjusted light control level and the appliance address are transmitted from the RF transmitter 61 to the appliances 1 to 3. Each appliance 1-3 receives this and lights up at the corrected dimming level. Thereafter, this is repeated to maintain a constant illuminance.
[0093]
As for the operation of the human sensor 63, when the human sensor disappears and the human sensor 63 becomes inactive, a light-off signal or a constant dimming signal is transmitted from the RF transmitter 61 of the controller 6. Each of the appliances 1 to 3 receives this and turns off or changes to a constant dimming state.
[0094]
Further, the brightness sensor 64 is incorporated in the controller 6 or the sensor is provided with an RF transmitter 61, and brightness level detection information is transmitted to each of the devices 1 to 3, and set for each device. It is also possible to adjust the brightness by the value. At this time, the controller 6 may be able to set the brightness level setting value for each of the appliances 1 to 3 in advance with an RF signal.
[0095]
111 and 112 are modifications of this embodiment, FIG. 111 is a system configuration example with a sensor, and FIG. 112 is a system configuration example without a sensor. A configuration in which a plurality of controllers 5 or 6 are connected by a wired or wireless transmission system, control commands or setting information are transmitted and received from each other, and a transmission signal to the lighting control unit is determined based on information from other controllers 5 or 6 It is. Thus, in the case of large-scale control, controllers may be connected to each other. Since the control is the same as in the embodiments 103 to 11, a description thereof will be omitted.
[0096]
FIG. 113 shows another modification of the present embodiment, which is an example in which a master unit 5 as a main controller is connected to a plurality of sub-controllers 6 by a wired or wireless transmission system. Although a sensor is not included, the present invention is not limited to this, and a configuration including a sensor may be used.
[0097]
In these embodiments as well as the embodiments 95 to 8, the lighting fixture has the RF transmission / reception unit. However, a system in which the RF transmission / reception unit and the lighting control unit are provided outside the fixture may be used. The structure which controls one by one lighting control part can be considered. Even in the embodiments described below, the lighting control unit is not necessarily provided in the appliance, but may be outside the appliance and send a lighting control signal to the load control unit in response to a lighting control command.
[0098]
In all the embodiments, the lighting control command transmitted by the RF signal is lighting / dimming (with a fixed dimming ratio) / dimming (with a dimming ratio specified) / off / dimming. What is necessary is just to specify the lighting state of illumination, such as ratio up / down. The setting information may be any information that specifies an operation pattern such as a threshold value for time / dimming ratio or environmental information.
[0099]
【Example】
Example 1
FIG. 114 shows an embodiment in which the lighting system of the present invention is embodied as a residential lighting system. In this example, lighting fixtures 1 to 3 are shown as porch lights, interior entrance lights, and main room lighting. Any of the lighting fixtures in the various places may be used. Further, the installation location of the controller 5 is not particularly questioned.
[0100]
FIG. 115 shows an example of the operation unit 52 of the controller 5. For each of the pouch light, the interior entrance lamp, and the main lighting in the living room, there are provided operation buttons for all lighting, dimming, and extinguishing. In addition, an operation button for UP / DOWN of the light control level is provided.
[0101]
The lighting state of the corresponding lighting fixtures 1 to 3 is changed by the switch operation of the controller 5. When the IDs of the lighting fixtures 1 to 3 are pouch: 00, inner entrance light: 01, living room: 10, and the lighting state command code is turned off: 00, all lights: 11, dimming lights: 01 When the format of the transmission signal from the controller 5 to the fixtures 1 to 3 is determined as shown in FIG. 116 (a), 4 bits of the data area are sent out as (00, 00), and this is transmitted by a radio signal. Is received and the pouch light is turned off. If the 4 bits in the data area are (10, 11), the lighting fixture in the living room is fully lit.
[0102]
Here, the ID is simply 2 bits. However, in an actual system, the ID is not limited to this, and a long ID of 8 bits to 24 bits of 2 bits or more is included so that all devices including other systems do not interfere with each other. As good as For example, with a 24-bit ID, there are over 16 million IDs.
[0103]
Table 1 shows the contents of the data area (ID: 5 bits and 6 bits, command: 7 bits and 8 bits) in FIG. 116 (a) when the switches A, B, and C in FIG. 115 are operated. When switch A is operated, all the pouch lights (ID: 00) are turned on (: 11), so the data area is (00, 11). When switch B is operated, the interior entrance lamp (ID: 01) Is dimmed (: 01), the data area is (01,01), and when the switch C is operated, the main lighting (ID: 10) in the living room is turned off (0:00), so the data area is (10 , 00).
[0104]
[Table 1]

[0105]
Also, as shown in FIG. 116B, the data area can be expanded to 10 bits, and the lighting state can be changed by specifying brightness such as a dimming ratio. Similarly, it is also possible to send a command to brighten / darken the current lighting state.
[0106]
In the embodiment of FIG. 114, the human sensor 14 and the brightness sensor 15 are installed in the pouch light 1 and the human sensor alone is arranged in the system. Also, the installation location is not particularly limited, and it may be provided in another lighting device or controller.
[0107]
(Example 2)
In the embodiment of FIG. 117, only the operation unit 52 is provided in the controller 5, and a control form is sent to each instrument according to the operation of the operation unit 52. A control form in which a command is sent or a command is sent by another trigger may be used. A command for each appliance includes an appliance ID and a lighting control command. The lighting control command includes commands such as full lighting, dimming lighting, extinguishing, xx% dimming lighting, brightness UP, and brightness DOWN. .
