About.

  In venues for concerts and other events, the audience may have a light-emitting device such as a penlight, and the lighting effect may enhance the atmosphere of the venue. On the other hand, Patent Literature 1 discloses an effect light-emitting device and an effect method using a portable light-emitting device. According to the present invention, an image generated on the screen of a personal computer is divided, and an address is assigned to each divided image. Similarly, the audience seats at the venue are divided and light emitting devices with addresses assigned to the audience seats are distributed. By transmitting the light emission signal corresponding to each of the divided images to the light emitting device with the same address, the same illumination as the image can be produced by the penlight of the auditorium.

  However, the light emitting device with a specific address must be distributed to the audience seats with the same address. When the light emitting device is distributed to each spectator at the entrance, etc., it is necessary to confirm the location of the audience seat of each spectator, which requires a lot of labor. In the case of a non-reserved seat, even if the light emitting device is distributed to the audience, it is difficult to distribute it to a specific audience seat.

  The light emitting unit 140 is provided with light emitting elements of two or more colors of red, blue, yellow, white and the like. For example, a light emitting diode (LED) can be employed as the light emitting element. In addition, a circuit (not shown) for controlling light emission is provided.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating a functional configuration of the light emitting device and the control device. The light emitting device 100 is given an identifier such as an address unique to the light emitting device.

  The user can input a code by pressing an input key of the input unit 110. The input code is displayed on the display unit 111. If an incorrect entry is made, the last entered character can be canceled by pressing the “C” key. After the input is completed, the code input by pressing the “OK” key is output to the transmission unit 120.

  The transmission unit 120 transmits the code input from the input unit 110 together with the identifier attached to the light emitting device 100 to the control device 200 using a transmitter that transmits information by wireless communication. Here, the identifier is a fixed value for each light emitting device, and is held in the transmission unit.

  The receiving unit 130 includes a receiver that receives information by wireless communication, and receives the light emission signal and the identifier transmitted from the control device 200 as a group of data using the receiver. The receiving unit 130 outputs a light emission signal of data including an identifier corresponding to the identifier attached to the light emitting device 100 to the light emitting unit 140.

  The light emitting unit 140 causes a light emitting element to emit light based on an input light emission signal by a circuit that controls light emission. The light emission signal includes designation of a color to be developed, a light emission time, luminance, and the like. Based on the light emission signal, the light emitting unit 140 operates a light emitting element of a specified color with a specified luminance for a specified light emission time.

  The control device 200 is a control device that transmits a light emission signal to each of the plurality of light emitting devices 100 that emit light based on the light emission signal, and controls the light emission. From the reception unit 210, the control unit 220, and the transmission unit 230, Configured. The light emission data 240 is held. The control device 200 can be configured by a computer having a wireless communication function such as WiFi, for example.

As received. The receiving unit 210 outputs the received code and identifier to the control unit 220.

  Light emission signals created in advance corresponding to the respective codes are held as light emission data 240. The control unit 220 adds the input identifier to the light emission data 240 corresponding to the input code. FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of light emission data. (A) shows before operation of the control unit 220, and (B) shows after operation of the control unit 220. An identifier corresponding to the code is added, and the identifier and the light emission signal are associated with each other. In the figure, time and color are shown as the light emission signal, but luminance and the like may be included in addition to this.

  The transmission unit 230 includes a transmitter that transmits information by wireless communication. Using this transmitter, the light emission signal and the identifier are read from the light emission data 240 and transmitted to the light emitting device 100 as a group of data. Here, the light emission signals are transmitted to the plurality of light emitting devices 100 all at once. The plurality of light emitting devices 100 can select and receive a light emission signal using an identifier.

  FIG. 4 is a timing chart showing a control sequence of the light emitting device by the control device. Hereinafter, an example will be described in which a presentation is performed using different light emission signals for each audience seat in a concert.

  The light emitting device 100 is distributed to each audience. For example, hand it over when entering a concert venue. At that time, one light emitting device 100 may be distributed to all the audiences without distinguishing between the seats of the audience.

  The light emission data 240 is created and held in advance in the format of FIG. 3A without the light emission signal for each seat being associated with the identifier.

  In step 310, a code is input to each of the light emitting devices 100. When the spectator arrives at his or her seat, the spectator inputs the seat number as a code to the light emitting device 100 via the input unit 110. Also, an announcement or the like for guiding the audience to input a code before the start of the concert may be performed.

  When the audience who has completed the input presses the “OK” key, the process proceeds to step 320, where the code and the identifier are transmitted from the light emitting device 100 to the control device 200. The transmission unit 120 of the light emitting device 100 transmits the code input in step 310 and the identifier attached to the own device to the control device 200.

  In step 330, the code and the identifier transmitted from the light emitting device 100 are received by the control device 200. The receiving unit 210 of the control device 200 receives the code and the identifier transmitted from the light emitting device 100 and outputs them to the control unit 220.

  In step 340, an identifier is added to the light emission data 240. The controller 220 adds the input identifier to the light emission data 240 corresponding to the input code. The light emission data 240 changes from the state of FIG. 3A to the state of FIG.

  The steps so far are executed before the start of the concert performance. Hereinafter, steps executed during the performance from immediately before the start of the performance will be described.

  In step 350, the light emission signal and the identifier are transmitted from the control device 200 to the light emitting device 100. The transmission unit 230 reads the light emission signal and the identifier from the light emission data 240 and transmits them.

  In step 350, the light emission signals relating to the entire performance are transmitted all at once before starting the performance, or the light emission corresponding to the performance is divided every 10 minutes, for example, and the light emission signal is transmitted every 10 minutes during the performance. it can. When transmitting the light emission signal before the performance starts, the control device 200 includes a clock in the light emitting device 100 so that the plurality of light emitting devices 100 are synchronized, and the plurality of light emitting devices 100 start emitting light at the same time at the performance start time. Performs a response such as simultaneously transmitting a signal indicating “start of performance” to all the light emitting devices 100. When a light emission signal is transmitted during performance, the light emitting device 100 may emit light immediately upon receiving the light emission signal. Since there are some fluctuations in the performance time for each musical piece played in many concerts, it is preferable to transmit a light emission signal for each musical piece during the performance (the operator instructs transmission of the control device 200).

  In step 360, the light emitting signal and the identifier transmitted from the control device 200 are received by the light emitting device 100. The receiving unit 130 receives the light emission signal and the identifier transmitted from the control device 200 as a group of data, and outputs it to the light emitting unit 140.

  In step 370, the light emitting device 100 emits light based on the light emission signal. Based on the light emission signal, the light emitting unit 140 of the light emitting device 100 operates a light emitting element of a specified color with a specified luminance for a specified light emission time.

  As described above in detail, according to the light emitting device 100 and the light emission control method of the present embodiment, light emission can be controlled in accordance with the code input from the light emitting device 100. By using a place such as a seat number in a concert hall as a symbol, a plurality of light emitting devices can be synchronized to emit light like a picture. It is also possible to emit light so that the picture moves from place to place.

  Since each of the plurality of light emitting devices can be individually controlled, it is possible to perform control so that detailed and precise light emission can be performed without blocking the audience seat at the concert.

  The correspondence between the light emitting device 100 and the seat can be set after the light emitting device 100 is distributed to the audience by inputting a code. Even when a concert is performed in a facility that accommodates tens of thousands of spectators, such as a baseball field, no special work is required for correspondence between the light emitting device 100 and the seat.

  The light emitting device of the present invention can receive a light emission signal corresponding to an input code, and controls the light emission according to the code. In the light emission control method of the present invention, each of a plurality of light emitting devices receives a signal corresponding to a code, and controls light emission according to the code. By specifying the place where the light emitting device is arranged by the code, an effective performance in a concert or the like is possible. It can be used by many event operators.
