The information set by the light setting device 10 is stored, for example, in a storage unit (not shown) included in the light setting device 10. The illumination setting device 10 transmits the set information to the controller 20 via, for example, a communication unit (not shown) included in the illumination setting device 10. The illumination setting device 10 communicates with the controller 20, for example, wirelessly, but may communicate with a wire. The illumination setting device 10 includes an acquisition unit 11, a schedule generation unit 12, an allocation unit 13, and a display unit 100. The illumination setting device 10 is, for example, a terminal device such as a portable terminal or a tablet, a remote control, or a PC (Personal Computer).

  The acquisition unit 11 acquires an address (real address) that the lighting device 30 has.

  The schedule generation unit 12 generates a schedule for changing the lighting state (for example, the light control rate) of the lighting device 30 according to the time.

  The allocation unit 13 allocates the address acquired by the acquisition unit 11 to the schedule after the schedule generation unit 12 generates the schedule. Thus, the address and the schedule are associated. Here, the information in which the address and the schedule are associated by assigning the address to the schedule is referred to as the information set by the illumination setting device 10.

  The operations performed by the acquisition unit 11, the schedule generation unit 12, and the allocation unit 13 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 2 described later. The acquisition unit 11, the schedule generation unit 12, and the allocation unit 13 are realized by, for example, a processor (not shown) included in the illumination setting device 10.

  The display unit 100 displays a schedule icon 101 indicating a schedule generated by the schedule generation unit 12 and an address icon 102 indicating an address acquired by the acquisition unit 11. The display unit 100 is, for example, a touch panel display or a display. When the display unit 100 is a touch panel display, the icon displayed on the touch panel display is operated by, for example, the user's finger or a touch pen. When the display unit 100 is a display, the icon displayed on the display is operated by an input device such as a mouse connected to the illumination setting device 10, for example. Hereinafter, it is assumed that the display unit 100 is a display, and the icon displayed on the display is operated by, for example, a mouse. The display of the icon on the display unit 100 and the operation corresponding to the operation from the user received by the display unit 100 are realized by, for example, a processor provided in the illumination setting device 10.

In addition, the lighting fixture 30 memorize | stores the provided address, for example in the memory | storage part (not shown) which the lighting fixture 30 has.

[Operation of lighting setting device]
Next, the operation of the illumination setting device 10 will be described.

  FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the illumination setting device 10 according to the first embodiment.

  First, the schedule generation unit 12 generates a schedule for changing the dimming rate of the lighting device 30 according to time (S11). The schedule generated by the schedule generation unit 12 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 3 described later. Construction of the lighting fixture 30 is completed after step S11. That is, the schedule generation unit 12 generates a schedule before construction of the lighting device 30 is started or in parallel with the construction of the lighting device 30.

  Next, the acquisition unit 11 acquires an address of the lighting device 30 (S12). Specifically, the acquisition unit 11 acquires the address of the lighting device 30 after the installation of the lighting device 30 is completed. The acquisition unit 11 acquires, for example, the address of the lighting fixture 30 via the controller 20. However, as described above, it is assumed that the user does not recognize which address each of the lighting devices 30 has. The confirmation method of the address which each of the lighting fixtures 30 has will be described in detail in FIG. 5 described later.

  Next, the allocation unit 13 sets the address acquired by the acquisition unit 11 to the schedule generated by the schedule generation unit 12 after the schedule generation unit 12 generates the schedule (in other words, after the construction of the lighting apparatus 30 is completed). Allocate (S13).

  Thus, the lighting setting device 10 generates a schedule in advance before the installation of the lighting device 30 is completed, and assigns an address to the schedule after the completion of the installation of the lighting device 30.

  In the present embodiment, specific operations in steps S11 to S13 are performed by operating an icon displayed on the display unit 100.

  First, the schedule generated by the schedule generation unit 12 in step S11 will be described in detail.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of a schedule generated by the schedule generation unit 12 according to the first embodiment. The display unit 100 displays a schedule generation icon 111 and an address acquisition icon 112. The address acquisition icon 112 will be described later with reference to FIG. In the present embodiment, for example, two schedules (schedule 1 and schedule 2) are generated. As shown in FIG. 3, for example, in Schedule 1, the lighting fixture 30 has a dimming rate of 50% from 0 o'clock to 12 o'clock, a dimming rate of 70% from 12 o'clock to 20 o'clock, and 20 o'clock to 24 o'clock. The light rate is controlled to 0%. Further, according to schedule 2, the lighting fixture 30 is controlled to have a dimming rate of 0% from 0 o'clock to 7 o'clock, a dimming rate of 80% from 7 o'clock to 17 o'clock, and a dimming rate of 60% from 17 o'clock to 24 o'clock . The schedule generated by the schedule generation unit 12 is displayed on the schedule generation screen of the display unit 100 in association with the schedule icon 101, for example. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the schedule icon 101 a associated with the schedule 1 and the schedule icon 101 b associated with the schedule 2 are displayed on the schedule generation screen of the display unit 100.

  Note that the method by which the schedule generation unit 12 generates a schedule is not limited. For example, the schedule generation unit 12 may generate a schedule by the user (for example, clicking) the schedule generation icon 111 being operated by the user. For example, when the schedule generation icon 111 is operated, a mode may be entered in which the number of schedules to be generated and the dimming rate for each time zone of each schedule are input, and the schedules may be generated. Also, the schedule generation unit 12 may generate a schedule, for example, by the user operating a bar-shaped icon as shown in FIG. 3 displayed on the schedule generation screen of the display unit 100.

  Thus, the schedule generation unit 12 generates a schedule. The schedule generated by the schedule generation unit 12 is stored, for example, in a storage unit provided in the illumination setting device 10.

  Next, specific operations in steps S12 and S13 will be described with reference to FIGS.

  First, the operation in step S12 will be described using FIG. 4 and FIG.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of display on the display unit 100 according to the first embodiment when an address is acquired.

  The acquisition unit 11 acquires an address of the lighting device 30 by, for example, the user operating the address acquisition icon 112 (for example, clicking). As shown in FIG. 4, the display unit 100 displays an address icon 102 indicating the address acquired by the acquisition unit 11. However, as described above, the user does not know which address each of the lighting devices 30 has. Specifically, the display unit 100 displays the address icons 102 a to 102 d indicating the addresses 1 to 4 acquired by the acquisition unit 11, but the user can select one of the lighting devices 30 a to 30 d among the addresses 1 to 4 I do not know I have an address. Here, the confirmation method of the address which each of the lighting fixtures 30 has is demonstrated using FIG.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a method of confirming the address of the lighting fixture 30 according to the first embodiment. In addition, the address which each of the lighting fixtures 30 has is described in FIG.

  For example, the method of confirming the luminaire 30 having the address 1 among the addresses 1 to 4 will be described.

  The light setting device 10 transmits, to the controller 20, an instruction to blink the luminaire 30 having the address 1. For example, when the user operates (for example, clicks) the address icon 102a indicating the address 1 displayed on the display unit 100, the illumination setting device 10 transmits, to the controller 20, an instruction to blink the lighting fixture 30 having the address 1. Do. Then, the controller 20 controls the lighting apparatus 30 having the address 1 to blink so that the lighting apparatus 30 b having the address 1 blinks. Thus, the user can confirm that the lighting fixture 30b has the address 1 by confirming that the lighting fixture 30b is blinking. In other words, the user can understand that the address icon 102 a displayed on the display unit 100 is an icon indicating the address of the lighting fixture 30 b.

  Similarly, it is possible to check which of the lighting fixtures 30 has the addresses 2 to 4 as well. Thus, the user knows that the luminaire 30a has the address 3, the luminaire 30c has the address 2, and the luminaire 30d has the address 4.

  Next, the operation in step S13 will be described using FIG. 6 and FIG.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram showing how an address according to the first embodiment is assigned to a schedule.

  For example, the case where the lighting fixture 30b is controlled by schedule 1 will be described. The lighting fixture 30b has an address 1, and the address 1 is associated with the address icon 102a. Also, the schedule 1 is associated with the schedule icon 101a.

  The allocation unit 13 allocates the address 1 acquired by the acquisition unit 11 to the schedule 1 generated by the schedule generation unit 12. For example, when the user superimposes the address icon 102a displayed on the display unit 100 and the schedule icon 101a, the assignment unit 13 assigns the address 1 acquired by the acquisition unit 11 to the schedule 1 generated by the schedule generation unit 12. Specifically, the allocation unit 13 arranges the address 1 acquired by the acquisition unit 11 as the schedule generation unit by arranging (drag and drop) the address icon 102 a on the schedule icon 101 a displayed on the schedule generation screen. Assign to schedule 1 generated by 12. Thus, the address 1 and the schedule 1 are associated with each other.

  Similarly, a schedule is assigned to addresses 2 to 4 as well.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of display when the address icon 102 and the schedule icon 101 overlap on the display unit 100 according to the first embodiment.

  For example, when lighting fixtures 30a (address 3) and 30b (address 1) are controlled by schedule 1, and lighting fixtures 30c (address 2) and 30d (address 4) are controlled by schedule 2, as shown in FIG. The user places each of the address icons 102 on a schedule icon 101 indicating a desired schedule.

  Thus, the address of the lighting fixture 30 acquired by the acquisition unit 11 is assigned to the schedule generated by the schedule generation unit 12.

  Then, the illumination setting device 10 transmits, to the controller 20, the information (information in which the address and the schedule are associated) set by the illumination setting device 10 based on the arrangement of the icons operated by the user on the display unit 100. . Specifically, the illumination setting device 10 transmits, to the controller 20, information in which the addresses 1 and 3 are associated with the schedule 1, and information in which the addresses 2 and 4 are associated with the schedule 2 to the controller 20. Then, the controller 20 controls the luminaire 30a having the address 3 and the luminaire 30b having the address 1 according to the schedule 1 and controls the luminaire 30c having the address 2 and the luminaire 30d having the address 4 according to the schedule 2.

[Effects, etc.]
When installing a plurality of lighting fixtures, there is a demand to set different lighting states, different schedules, and the like for each lighting fixture that is installed at a different place. However, after the installation of the luminaire is completed, it is necessary to set according to the place where the luminaire is installed, and the setting takes time.

  Therefore, the illumination setting device 10 according to the present embodiment generates a schedule for changing the lighting state of the illumination device 30 according to the time, and an acquisition unit that acquires an address of the illumination device 30. 11 and an allocation unit 13 for allocating the address acquired by the acquisition unit 11 to the schedule after the schedule generation unit 12 generates the schedule.

  In addition, the lighting system 1 according to the present embodiment includes the above-described lighting setting device 10, the controller 20 that communicates with the lighting setting device 10, and the lighting fixture 30 that communicates with the controller 20. The lighting device 30 is controlled in accordance with the information set by the setting device 10.

  Further, in the lighting setting method according to the present embodiment, a schedule generating step of generating a schedule for changing the lighting state of the lighting device 30 according to time, and an acquiring step of acquiring an address of the lighting device 30; And an assignment step of assigning the address acquired in the acquisition step to the schedule generated in the schedule generation step after generating the schedule in the schedule generation step.

  Thus, for example, a schedule can be generated in advance before the installation of the luminaire 30 is completed, that is, before the installation of the luminaire 30 is started, or in parallel with the installation of the luminaire 30. . Moreover, setting (scheduling) of the lighting fixture 30 can be easily performed only by allocating the address acquired by the acquisition unit 11 to the schedule generated by the schedule generation unit 12. Therefore, the setting work of a lighting fixture can be streamlined.

  Specifically, this will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining the effect of the illumination setting device 10 according to the first embodiment. (A) of FIG. 8 is a figure which shows the flow of setting from installation of the lighting fixture 30 when the conventional lighting setting apparatus is used. (B) of FIG. 8 is a figure which shows the flow of a setting from construction of the lighting fixture 30 when the lighting setting apparatus 10 is used.

  As shown in (a) of FIG. 8, conventionally, after installation of the lighting fixture 30 is completed, the setting place is different for each lighting fixture 30 which is different, and the overall man-hours increase. There is.

  On the other hand, as shown in (b) of FIG. 8, when the lighting setting device 10 is used, setting (for example, scheduling) of the lighting device 30 is performed in advance before the installation of the lighting device 30 is completed. In addition, after the installation of the lighting fixtures 30 is completed, the user confirms the addresses of the lighting fixtures 30, and assigns the addresses of the lighting fixtures 30, which are installed at different places, to the previously generated schedule. That is, the setting of the luminaire 30 can be easily performed only by confirming the address of the luminaire 30 and assigning the confirmed address to a previously generated schedule. Therefore, the setting work of a lighting fixture can be streamlined. This reduces the overall number of man-hours from installation to setting of the luminaire.

  In addition, the illumination setting device 10 further includes a display unit 100 that displays a schedule icon 101 indicating a schedule generated by the schedule generation unit 12 and an address icon 102 indicating an address acquired by the acquisition unit 11. The allocation unit 13 allocates the address acquired by the acquisition unit 11 to the schedule generated by the schedule generation unit 12 by the user overlapping the address icon 102 with the schedule icon 101.

  As a result, the user can easily assign the address acquired by the acquisition unit 11 to the schedule generated by the schedule generation unit 12 simply by operating the icon displayed on the display unit 100, so the setting work of the lighting fixture can be performed efficiently. Can be

Second Embodiment
The second embodiment will be described below with reference to FIGS. 9 to 18.

[Configuration of lighting system]
FIG. 9 is a block diagram of a lighting system according to a second embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the illumination system 1 a differs from the illumination system 1 in that the illumination system 1 a includes an illumination setting device 10 a instead of the illumination setting device 10. Further, the illumination setting device 10 a is different from the illumination setting device 10 in that the illumination setting device 10 a further includes a temporary address generation unit 14 and a group generation unit 15 and includes a display unit 200 instead of the display unit 100. The other components are the same as those in the lighting system 1 of the first embodiment, and thus the description will be omitted.

  The illumination setting device 10 a includes an acquisition unit 11, a schedule generation unit 12, an allocation unit 13, a temporary address generation unit 14, a group generation unit 15, and a display unit 200. The illumination setting device 10 a is, for example, a terminal device such as a portable terminal or a tablet, a remote control, or a PC.

  The temporary address generation unit 14 generates temporary addresses of the plurality of lighting devices 30.

  The group generation unit 15 divides the plurality of temporary addresses generated by the temporary address generation unit 14 into groups.

  The allocation unit 13 allocates the groups grouped by the group generation unit 15 to the schedule after the schedule generation unit 12 generates the schedule. Then, the allocation unit 13 allocates the address acquired by the acquisition unit 11 to the schedule generated by the schedule generation unit 12 by allocating the address acquired by the acquisition unit 11 to the temporary address.

  The operations performed by the acquisition unit 11, the schedule generation unit 12, the allocation unit 13, the temporary address generation unit 14, and the group generation unit 15 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 10 described later. The acquisition unit 11, the schedule generation unit 12, the allocation unit 13, the temporary address generation unit 14, and the group generation unit 15 are realized by, for example, a processor (not shown) included in the illumination setting device 10a.

  The display unit 200 includes a schedule icon 101 indicating a schedule generated by the schedule generation unit 12, an address icon 102 indicating an address acquired by the acquisition unit 11, and a temporary address icon 103 indicating a temporary address generated by the temporary address generator 14. And a group icon 105 indicating the groups grouped by the group generation unit 15. The display unit 200 also displays a schedule generation icon 111, an address acquisition icon 112, a temporary address generation icon 113, and a group generation icon 114. Since the schedule generation icon 111 and the address acquisition icon 112 are the same as those in the display unit 100, the description will be omitted. The temporary address generation icon 113 and the group generation icon 114 will be described later. The other configuration of the display unit 200 is the same as that of the display unit 100, and thus the description thereof is omitted.

  Next, the operation of the illumination setting device 10a will be described.

  FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the illumination setting device 10a according to the second embodiment.

  First, the schedule generation unit 12 generates a schedule for changing the light control rate of the lighting device 30 according to the time (S21).

  Next, the temporary address generation unit 14 generates a temporary address of the lighting device 30 (S22). For example, the same number of temporary addresses as the number at which the luminaire 30 is installed is generated. In the present embodiment, since four lighting fixtures 30a to 30d are installed, four temporary addresses are generated.

  Next, the group generation unit 15 divides the temporary addresses generated by the temporary address generation unit 14 into groups (S23). Here, the group is, for example, a group for operating the luminaire 30 on the same schedule. In the present embodiment, temporary addresses are grouped into two groups.

  Next, the allocation unit 13 allocates the groups grouped by the group generation unit 15 to the schedule generated by the schedule generation unit 12 (S24). The allocation unit 13 associates the group to which the temporary address belongs with the schedule. Thereby, the allocation unit 13 associates the temporary address with the schedule. And construction of the lighting fixture 30 is completed after step S24.

  Next, the acquisition unit 11 acquires an address of the lighting device 30 (S25).

  Then, the allocation unit 13 allocates the address acquired by the acquisition unit 11 to the temporary address (S16). Thereby, the allocation unit 13 allocates the address acquired by the acquisition unit 11 to the schedule generated by the schedule generation unit 12.

  As described above, the lighting setting apparatus 10 generates temporary addresses that are scheduled and divided into groups before the installation of the lighting device 30 is completed, and associates the temporary addresses with the schedule by associating the groups with the schedule. . And an address is assigned to a temporary address, after construction of the lighting fixture 30 is completed.

  The specific operations in steps S21 to S26 are performed by operating the icons displayed on the display unit 200 in the present embodiment.

  Since the operation in step S21 is the same as the operation in step S11, the description will be omitted. In the present embodiment, the schedule generated by the schedule generation unit 12 is assumed to be the same as the schedule shown in FIG.

  Next, specific operations in steps S22 to S26 will be described with reference to FIGS.

  First, the operation in step S22 will be described.

  FIG. 11 is a view showing an example of a display of the display unit 200 according to the second embodiment when a temporary address is arranged. Although the display unit 100 displays the schedule generation screen in the first embodiment, the display unit 200 displays, for example, the schedule generation screen and the floor map in the present embodiment. For example, the schedule setting screen and the floor map may be switched by the lighting setting device 10a having a switching button and the switching button being operated. Also, for example, the schedule generation screen and the floor map may be switched by the display unit 200 having a switching icon and the switching icon being operated. The floor map is a map for simulating the arrangement of the luminaire 30 constructed on the actual floor. For example, in an actual floor, the luminaires 30 are arranged in a row in the order of the luminaires 30a, 30b, 30c, and 30d.

  The temporary address generation unit 14 generates a temporary address of the lighting device 30, and for example, as shown in FIG. 11, the temporary address icon 103 indicating the temporary address is arranged on the floor map displayed on the display unit 100. Be done. Specifically, when the temporary address generation icon 113 is operated (for example, clicked), the temporary address icon 103 is arranged on the floor map. That is, when the temporary address generation icon 113 is operated and the temporary address icon 103 is arranged on the floor map, the temporary address generation unit 14 generates a temporary address of the lighting fixture 30. In the present embodiment, since four luminaires of the luminaires 30a to 30d are installed, it is necessary to generate four temporary addresses. For example, the user arranges the four temporary address icons 103a to 103d by operating the temporary address generation icon 113 four times. In addition, since a plurality of temporary address icons 103 simulating more lighting fixtures 30 may be arranged, there may be an icon for arranging the plurality of temporary address icons 103 by one operation. Temporary addresses 1 to 4 are associated with the temporary address icons 103a to 103d, respectively. In addition, the temporary address icon 103 is movable on the floor map by being operated (for example, drag and drop) by the user. Thereby, before the lighting fixtures 30 are installed on the actual floor, the arrangement of the lighting fixtures 30 to be installed on the actual floor can be simulated by the arrangement of the temporary address icons 103. For example, as shown in FIG. 11, the temporary address icon 103a simulates the lighting device 30a, the temporary address icon 103b simulates the lighting device 30b, the temporary address icon 103c simulates the lighting device 30c, and the temporary address icon 103d simulates the lighting device 30d. . That is, the temporary address icons 103a to 103d simulate lighting devices 30a to 30d to be arranged side by side in a horizontal row.

  Next, the operation in step S23 will be described.

  FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an example of a display of the display unit 200 according to the second embodiment when temporary addresses are grouped.

  The group generation unit 15 divides the temporary addresses generated by the temporary address generation unit 14 into groups, for example, as shown in FIG. 12, the temporary address icons 103 indicating the temporary addresses are divided into two groups (group 1 and group 2). Group 2).

  Note that the method of grouping by the group generation unit 15 is not limited. For example, the group generation unit 15 may generate a group by operating (for example, clicking) the group generation icon 114. For example, when the group generation icon 114 is operated, the group generation unit 15 enters a mode in which the number of groups to be generated and a temporary address belonging to each group are input, and groups may be generated. Further, for example, when the group generation icon 114 is operated, the group generation unit 15 may generate a grouping icon 104 for grouping the temporary address icons 103 on the floor map. Here, the case where the grouping icon 104 is generated on the floor map will be described.

  In this embodiment, temporary addresses are divided into two groups. For example, the user arranges the two grouping icons 104 a and 104 b by operating the group generation icon 114 twice. Grouping icons 104a and 104b correspond to group 1 and group 2, respectively. Further, the grouping icon 104 moves on the floor map by being operated (for example, drag and drop and scaling) by the user, and changes into a size surrounding at least one temporary address icon 103. Here, the temporary address is divided into groups by the grouping icon 104a surrounding the temporary address icons 103a and 103b and the grouping icon 104b surrounding the temporary address icons 103c and 103d. That is, temporary addresses 1 and 2 are grouped into group 1, and temporary addresses 3 and 4 are grouped into group 2. In this manner, the group generation icon 114 is operated, the grouping icon 104 is arranged on the floor map, and the grouping icon 104 surrounds the temporary address icon 103, whereby the group generation unit 15 divides the temporary address into groups. Do.

  Next, the operation in step S24 will be described using FIG. 13 and FIG.

  FIG. 13 is a diagram showing an example of display on the display unit 200 according to the second embodiment when a group icon is arranged.

  When the group generation unit 15 divides the temporary address into groups, for example, a group icon 105 is arranged on the display unit 200 as shown in FIG. The group icons 105 are arranged, for example, according to the number of groups into which temporary addresses are grouped. In the present embodiment, since temporary addresses are grouped into two groups, two group icons 105 are arranged. The group icon 105 a is associated with the group 1, and the group icon 105 b is associated with the group 2.

  FIG. 14 is a diagram showing an example of display when the group icon 105 and the schedule icon 101 overlap on the display unit 200 according to the second embodiment.

  The allocation unit 13 allocates the groups grouped by the group generation unit 15 to the schedule generated by the schedule generation unit 12. For example, when the user superimposes the group icon 105 on the schedule icon 101, the allocation unit 13 allocates the groups grouped by the group generation unit 15 to the schedule generated by the schedule generation unit 12. Specifically, the user arranges (drags and drops) the group icon 105 on the schedule icon 101 displayed on the schedule generation screen. Groups are then assigned to the schedule. For example, when lighting devices 30a and 30b simulated by temporary address icons 103a and 103b belonging to group 1 are controlled according to schedule 1, group 1 is assigned to schedule 1 as shown in FIG. Also, for example, in the case of controlling the lighting fixtures 30c and 30d simulated by the temporary address icons 103c and 103d belonging to the group 2 according to the schedule 2, the group 2 is assigned to the schedule 2. In other words, temporary addresses 1 and 2 belonging to group 1 are assigned to schedule 1, and temporary addresses 3 and 4 belonging to group 2 are assigned to schedule 2.

  Next, the operation in step S25 will be described using FIG.

  FIG. 15 is a diagram showing an example of display on the display unit 200 according to the second embodiment when an address is acquired.

  The operation in step S25 is similar to the operation in step S12, and for example, the acquisition unit 11 acquires the address of the lighting fixture 30 by the user operating the address acquisition icon 112. As shown in FIG. 15, the display unit 200 displays an address icon 102 indicating the address acquired by the acquisition unit 11. Also, since the user does not recognize the address possessed by the luminaire 30, the user confirms the address possessed by each of the luminaire 30 by the method shown in FIG. This tells the user that lighting fixture 30 a has address 3, lighting fixture 30 b has address 1, lighting fixture 30 c has address 2, and lighting fixture 30 d has address 4.

  Next, the operation in step S26 will be described using FIG. 16 and FIG.

  FIG. 16 is a diagram showing how an address according to the second embodiment is assigned to a temporary address.

  The allocation unit 13 allocates the address acquired by the acquisition unit 11 to a temporary address. For example, when the user superimposes the address icon 102 on the temporary address icon 103, the address acquired by the acquisition unit 11 is assigned to the temporary address. Specifically, the user arranges (drags and drops) the address icon 102 on the temporary address icon 103 displayed on the floor map. As described above, the temporary address icon 103a simulates the lighting device 30a, the temporary address icon 103b simulates the lighting device 30b, the temporary address icon 103c simulates the lighting device 30c, and the temporary address icon 103d simulates the lighting device 30d. Also, the user recognizes that the luminaire 30a has an address 3, the luminaire 30b has an address 1, the luminaire 30c has an address 2, and the luminaire 30d has an address 4. Thus, for example, the address 1 is assigned to the temporary address 2, that is, by overlapping the address icon 102a and the temporary address icon 103b, the temporary address icon 103b and the lighting fixture 30b are associated with each other. Further, since the group 1 to which the temporary address 2 belongs is assigned to the schedule 1, the lighting fixture 30b having the address 1 is associated with the schedule 1 generated by the schedule generation unit 12. Similarly, as shown in FIG. 17, an address is assigned to a temporary address.

  FIG. 17 is a diagram showing an example of display when the address icon 102 and the temporary address icon 103 overlap in the display unit 200 according to the second embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 17, address 1 is assigned to temporary address 2, address 2 to temporary address 3, address 3 to temporary address 1, and address 4 to temporary address 4. Thus, the lighting device 30 and the temporary address (the temporary address icon 103 simulating the lighting device 30) are associated with each other. Also, addresses 1 and 3 are assigned to schedule 1 to which group 1 is assigned, and addresses 2 and 4 are assigned to schedule 2 to which group 2 is assigned. Thereby, the lighting fixture 30 and the schedule are associated.

  Then, the illumination setting device 10a transmits, to the controller 20, information (information in which an address and a schedule are associated) set by the illumination setting device 10 based on the arrangement of the icons operated by the user on the display unit 200. . Specifically, the light setting device 10 a transmits, to the controller 20, information for controlling the luminaire 30 having the addresses 1 and 3 with the schedule 1 and the luminaire 30 with the addresses 2 and 4 according to the schedule 2. Then, the controller 20 controls the luminaire 30 a having the address 3 and the luminaire 30 b having the address 1 according to the schedule 1 and controls the luminaire 30 c having the address 2 and the luminaire 30 d having the address 4 according to the schedule 1.

[Effects, etc.]
The lighting setting device 10a further includes a temporary address generation unit 14 that generates a temporary address of the lighting fixture 30, and a group generation unit 15 that divides the temporary address generated by the temporary address generation unit 14 into groups. The allocation unit 13 allocates the groups grouped by the group generation unit 15 to the schedule generated by the schedule generation unit 12. Then, the allocation unit 13 allocates the address acquired by the acquisition unit 11 to the schedule generated by the schedule generation unit 12 by allocating the address acquired by the acquisition unit 11 to the temporary address.

  Thus, for example, a schedule is generated and grouped in advance before the installation of the luminaire 30 is completed, that is, before the installation of the luminaire 30 is started, or in parallel with the installation of the luminaire 30. be able to. Moreover, setting (scheduling) of the lighting fixture 30 is simplified simply by assigning the groups grouped by the group generation unit 15 to the schedule generated by the schedule generation unit 12 and assigning the acquired address to the temporary address. Can. Therefore, the setting work of a lighting fixture can be streamlined.

  Specifically, this will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 18 is a diagram showing a state in which a temporary address is assigned and a state in which an address is assigned is changed in the schedule according to the second embodiment. In (a) of FIG. 18, a group (provisional address belonging to a group) is assigned to the schedule generated by the schedule generation unit 12. Thereby, before the installation of the lighting fixture 30 is completed, it is possible to group temporary addresses simulating the arrangement of the lighting fixtures 30 and to assign a predetermined schedule to the temporary addresses belonging to the predetermined group. That is, in the lighting setting device 10a, the temporary address of the lighting fixtures 30 can be divided into groups, and a schedule can be assigned to each of the grouped groups. Then, after the installation of the luminaire 30 is completed, the address of the luminaire 30 is acquired, and the acquired address is assigned to a temporary address, as shown in (b) of FIG. You can assign a schedule to

  The illumination setting device 10a further includes a schedule icon 101 indicating a schedule generated by the schedule generation unit 12, an address icon 102 indicating an address acquired by the acquisition unit 11, and a temporary address indicating a temporary address generated by the temporary address generation unit 14. The display unit 200 is configured to display an address icon 103 and a group icon 105 indicating a group grouped by the group generation unit 15. The allocation unit 13 allocates the groups grouped by the group generation unit 15 to the schedule generated by the schedule generation unit 12 by the user overlapping the group icon 105 and the schedule icon 101. Further, the allocating unit 13 allocates the address acquired by the acquiring unit 11 to the temporary address by overlapping the address icon 102 and the temporary address icon 103 by the user.

  As a result, the user can easily assign a group obtained by dividing the temporary address into a schedule generated by the schedule generation unit 12 simply by operating the icon displayed on the display unit 200, and the address acquired by the acquisition unit 11 can be used. Since the temporary address generated by the temporary address generation unit 14 can be assigned, the setting work of the lighting apparatus can be streamlined.
