For example, the wireless communication device 50 is a wireless controller, the load device 30 is a lighting device, and the control device 60 is a transmission unit that transmits a signal output from a switch 62 etc. described later to the load device 30 etc. .

Note that the load control system 1 includes a wireless communication system 2 configured by a wireless device 40 and a wireless communication device 50. The load control system 1 also includes a control system 3 configured by a control device 60 and a wireless communication device 50.

The load control system 1 also includes a switch 62 that turns the load device 30 on and off, and a relay 64 that switches whether or not power is supplied to the load device 30 based on whether the switch 62 is turned on or off. Note that FIGS. 1 and 2 also show a communication interface 20 and information terminal 10 that communicate with the wireless communication device 50. The information terminal 10 is, for example, a smartphone or a tablet terminal. The communication interface 20 is a setting repeater that transfers a signal output from the information terminal 10 to the wireless communication device 50.

Here, the wireless connection form of each device in the load control system 1 will be explained.

The wireless communication device 50 and the communication interface 20 can be connected through wireless communication c1 using the first communication method and wireless communication c2 using the second communication method. The wireless communication c2 by the second communication method is communication with higher directivity than the first communication method, and is, for example, communication using infrared rays. The communication interface 20 can transmit necessary information to the specific wireless communication device 50 by using the highly directional wireless communication c2. Note that although the above example shows that the wireless communication device 50 and the communication interface 20 can be connected via the wireless communication c2, the present invention is not limited to this, and the wireless device 40 and the communication interface 20 can be connected via the wireless communication c2. It may be possible.

The wireless communication c3 according to the third communication method is communication using a frequency in the 2.4 GHz band or 5 GHz band standardized by IEEE802.15.1.

For example, a user holds the information terminal 10 in one hand and the communication interface 20 in the other hand. Then, the user operates the information terminal 10 and the communication interface 20 with his or her fingers while alternately looking at both the information terminal 10 and the communication interface 20, and transmits predetermined information from the information terminal 10 to the wireless communication device 50 via the communication interface 20. . Interposing the communication interface 20 between the information terminal 10 and the wireless communication device 50 allows the information terminal 10, which has a high degree of freedom, to perform operations adapted to various wireless communication devices 50, and communicates with the wireless communication device 50.

As shown in FIG. 2, the wireless device 40 includes a first communication section 41. The first communication unit 41 is, for example, a wireless module, and is wire-connected to a load control unit 35 of a load device 30, which will be described later.

The first communication unit 41 is a communication circuit that communicates with the wireless communication device 50 using wireless communication c1 of the first communication method. The first communication unit 41 receives a control signal transmitted from the wireless communication device 50 and outputs it to the load device 30.

The wired communication unit 53 is a communication circuit that performs wired communication with the control device 60 via the signal line SL.

The sensor unit 54 is a detector that detects the illuminance of a floor surface or the like irradiated from the load device 30, which is a lighting device. For example, the wireless communication device 50 performs dimming control (constant illuminance control) on the output section 37 of the load device 30 so that the illuminance detected by the sensor section 54 becomes a predetermined value. Specifically, when the illuminance detected by the sensor section 54 is higher than a predetermined illuminance, the dimming rate of the output section 37 is lowered, and when it is lower, the dimming rate of the output section 37 is increased. . Note that the sensor section 54 may be a human sensor or an image sensor.

The storage unit 56 is a ROM, a RAM, etc., and may include, for example, a nonvolatile memory. The storage unit 56 stores a program for operating the wireless communication device 50. Furthermore, the communication address of the wireless communication device 50 is stored in the storage unit 56.

Note that immediately after replacing the failed wireless communication device with a new wireless communication device 50, the communication address of the wireless communication device 50 and the communication address of the load device 30 are not stored in the storage unit 56. The communication address of the wireless communication device 50 and the communication address of the load device 30 are stored in the storage unit 56 by performing communication settings for the wireless communication device 50.

The control unit 55 is composed of a microprocessor or the like. The control unit 55 controls the first communication unit 51 , the second communication unit 52 , the wired communication unit 53 , the sensor unit 54 , and the setting unit 57 by executing a program stored in the storage unit 56 .

For example, when a failed wireless communication device is replaced with a new wireless communication device 50, in this embodiment, using the setting data D1 (see FIG. 3) of the load control system 1 before replacing the wireless communication device, Communication settings and control settings for the wireless communication device 50 are performed. Communication settings are settings made to communicate with other devices, such as communication channel settings that set the frequency used for communication, communication address settings, and linking with other devices. Contains the pairing settings to be performed. The control settings are settings performed to control other devices, and include, for example, settings regarding dimming control of the load device 30, schedule control, and group control of the plurality of load devices 30. .

The configuration of the setting unit 57 that performs communication settings and control settings for the wireless communication device 50 will be described below.

The setting unit 57 performs communication settings for the first communication unit 51 by acquiring setting data D1 including information that enables wireless communication with the wireless device 40 from the outside. Further, the setting section 57 performs communication settings for the wired communication section 53 by acquiring setting data D1 including information that enables wired communication with the control device 60 from the outside. The outside is, for example, the information terminal 10, and the setting unit 57 acquires the setting data D1 output from the information terminal 10 via the communication interface 20.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing setting data D1 acquired by the wireless communication device 50. The setting data D1 acquired by the wireless communication device 50 is the setting data of the load control system 1 before replacing the wireless communication device, that is, the past setting data.

As shown in FIG. 3, the setting data D1 includes a communication channel of the wireless communication c1, a communication address of the wireless communication device 50, a dimming circuit address for grouping the load devices 30 and controlling dimming, a reference illuminance setting, Contains information regarding brightness/illuminance memory settings, normal/scene switching settings, wired address of wireless communication device 50 used for wired communication via signal line SL, communication address and MAC address of load device 30 to be paired. It is.

Of the setting data D1, the communication channel, the communication address of the wireless communication device 50, the dimming circuit address, the communication address of the load device 30, and the MAC address are communication setting information that enables wireless communication c1 with the wireless device 40. . The setting unit 57 performs communication settings for the first communication unit 51 based on the communication setting information. For example, the setting unit 57 transmits pairing update information to the wireless device 40 to update pairing information between the wireless communication device 50 and the wireless device 40 via the first communication unit 51. Configure the corresponding communication settings.

Further, in the setting data D1, the wired address of the wireless communication device 50 is communication setting information that enables wired communication with the control device 60. The setting section 57 performs communication settings for the wired communication section 53 based on the communication setting information.

Note that the setting data D1 includes not only the communication setting information described above but also control setting information that allows the load device 30 to be controlled via the wireless device 40. The control setting information is, for example, information regarding the reference illuminance setting, brightness/illuminance storage setting, and normal/scene switching setting of the setting data D1. The setting unit 57 performs control settings corresponding to the load device 30 based on the control setting information.

In this way, the setting unit 57 of the wireless communication device 50 acquires the configuration data D1 from the outside and performs communication settings and control settings based on the acquired configuration data D1, thereby changing the communication settings of the wireless communication devices 50 all at once. It can be carried out. Thereby, communication settings and control settings for the wireless communication device 50 can be easily performed.

Note that, although it is desirable that the wireless communication device 50 to be replaced is a new wireless communication device, the present invention is not limited thereto, and may be a used wireless communication device that has been used before.

When using a used wireless communication device as a new wireless communication device 50 to be replaced, the wireless communication device 50 may not operate as intended due to the setting data already set in the used wireless communication device. . Therefore, if the wireless communication device 50 before performing communication settings has setting information that is not included in the setting data D1, the setting unit 57 deletes the setting information that is not included in the setting data D1 or does not set the setting information. You may change the state to , and then perform communication settings and control settings. According to this, even if a used wireless communication device is used as the wireless communication device to be replaced, communication settings and control settings for the wireless communication device 50 can be easily performed.

Furthermore, the present embodiment is not limited to the case of replacing a wireless communication device, but can also be applied to the case of installing a new wireless communication device and the case of constructing a new load control system.

Furthermore, the setting section 57 has a first setting mode in which data on a plurality of items of the setting data D1 is acquired through continuous communication, and a second setting mode in which data on the plurality of items is acquired through individual communication. It's okay. The first setting mode is a mode in which data for a plurality of items is set at once using the setting data D1, and the second setting mode is a mode in which data for each item is set individually. In the first setting mode, a plurality of items are transmitted, but an operation is not required each time, and settings are performed by continuous operations. On the other hand, in the second setting mode, when only a specific item is newly set or the setting of an already set item is changed, only that item is set. According to this, data for a plurality of items can be acquired through continuous communication or individual communication, and communication settings and control settings for the wireless communication device 50 can be easily performed.

Further, the setting unit 57 does not use the past setting data D1 as is to perform communication settings and control settings, but edits the past setting data D1 and uses the edited setting data D1 to perform communication settings and control settings. You may go. That is, the setting unit 57 may have a first setting mode in which unedited setting data D1 is acquired and a second setting mode in which edited setting data D1 is acquired. Even in this case, communication settings and control settings for the wireless communication device 50 can be easily performed based on the unedited or edited setting data D1.

[1-4. Information terminal configuration]
Next, the configurations of the information terminal 10 and the communication interface 20 will be explained. The information terminal 10 is a mobile terminal that wirelessly outputs information that the wireless communication device 50 should acquire.

As shown in FIG. 2, the information terminal 10 includes a terminal communication section 13, a terminal control section 15, a storage section 16, and a display section 17.

The terminal communication unit 13 is a communication circuit that communicates with the communication interface 20 by wireless communication c3 of the third communication method.

The storage unit 16 is a ROM, a RAM, etc., and may include, for example, a nonvolatile memory. The storage unit 16 stores the communication address of the information terminal 10 and a program for operating the information terminal 10. Further, the storage unit 16 stores setting data D1 as backup data of the load control system 1. For example, the setting data D1 is saved in the storage unit 16 by reading out the setting data D1 saved in the communication interface 20 via the wireless communication c3. Note that the setting data D1 may be saved in the storage unit 16 by reading backup data saved in the control device 60.

The terminal control unit 15 is composed of a microprocessor or the like. The terminal control unit 15 controls the terminal communication unit 13 , the storage unit 16 , and the display unit 17 by executing a program stored in the storage unit 16 .

When the terminal control unit 15 performs communication settings and control settings for the wireless communication device 50, the terminal control unit 15 reads out the setting data D1 stored in the storage unit 16 and transmits and outputs it to the outside. Specifically, the terminal control unit 15 transmits the setting data D1 to the wireless communication device 50 via the terminal communication unit 13 and the communication interface 20.

The display unit 17 is a touch panel that displays information and selection items necessary for performing communication settings and control settings for the wireless communication device 50. For example, the display unit 17 displays setting data for each wireless communication device 50 (see (b) in FIG. 5). Furthermore, the display unit 17 may display position information of the wireless communication device 50 to which the setting data D1 is set.

The display unit 17 also has the function of an input unit that receives user operation input. The user can also read the setting data D1 from the storage section 16 and edit the setting data D1 using the display section 17. When the setting data D1 is edited, the edited setting data D1 is stored in the storage section 16, and is also transmitted to the communication interface 20 via the terminal communication section 13.

[1-5. Communication interface configuration]
Next, the configuration of the communication interface 20 will be explained. The communication interface 20 is a setting repeater that transfers setting data D1 output from the information terminal 10 to the wireless communication device 50.

As shown in FIG. 2, the communication interface 20 includes a first communication section 21, a second communication section 22, an IF (interface) communication section 23, an operation input section 24, an IF (interface) control section 25, and a storage section 26. ing.

The IF communication unit 23 is a communication circuit that communicates with the terminal communication unit 13 of the information terminal 10 by wireless communication c3 using the third communication method. The IF communication unit 23 receives the setting data D1 transmitted from the information terminal 10.

The second communication unit 22 is a communication circuit that communicates with the second communication unit 52 of the wireless communication device 50 by wireless communication c2 of the second communication method. The second communication unit 22 is, for example, a transmitting circuit including an infrared LED.

The first communication unit 21 is a communication circuit that communicates with the first communication unit 51 of the wireless communication device 50 by wireless communication c1 of the first communication method. The first communication unit 21 transmits the setting data D1 received by the IF communication unit 23 to the wireless communication device 50.

The operation input unit 24 is an input switch provided on the surface of the casing of the communication interface 20. The operation input section 24 includes, for example, one operation key.

The storage unit 26 is a ROM, a RAM, etc., and may include, for example, a nonvolatile memory. The storage unit 26 stores a communication address of the communication interface 20 and a program for operating the communication interface 20. Further, the storage unit 26 stores setting data D1, which is backup data of the load control system 1.

The IF control unit 25 is composed of a microprocessor or the like. The IF control unit 25 controls the first communication unit 21 , the second communication unit 22 , the IF communication unit 23 , the operation input unit 24 , and the storage unit 26 by executing a program stored in the storage unit 26 .

When the IF control unit 25 receives an operation input from the operation input unit 24 in a state where communication is established between the information terminal 10 and the communication interface 20 via wireless communication c3, the IF control unit 25 transmits the operation input to the wireless communication device 50 via the second communication unit 22. The mode switching signal s1 is transmitted to. Actually, when "Move to setting mode" is selected from the menu on the screen of the information terminal 10, an operation input request (button press request) for the communication interface 20 is displayed on the screen. Therefore, when an operation input through the communication interface 20 is accepted, a mode switching signal s1 is transmitted. The mode switching signal s1 is a signal that switches between a state in which communication settings and control settings can be made in the wireless communication device 50 and a state in which they are not possible. When the wireless communication device 50 first receives the mode switching signal s1, it shifts to the first setting mode and becomes able to write the setting data D1, and when it receives the mode switching signal s1 next, the first setting mode is canceled. It becomes impossible to write the setting data D1.

The IF control unit 25 receives the setting data D1 transmitted from the information terminal 10 while the wireless communication device 50 is in the first setting mode, and transfers the received setting data D1 to the wireless communication device 50. Thereby, the communication interface 20 can reliably cause the wireless communication device 50 to acquire the setting data D1.

[1-6. Operation of wireless communication devices and information terminals]
Next, the operations of the wireless communication device 50 and the information terminal 10 will be explained with reference to FIGS. 4 to 7. Here, as an operation of the wireless communication device 50 and the information terminal 10, an example will be described in which communication settings and control settings are performed on the wireless communication device 50 using the information terminal 10. Further, here, a case will be described in which the load device 30 is a lighting device and the wireless communication device 50 is a dimming sensor.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing operations of the wireless communication device 50 and the information terminal 10. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an image displayed on the information terminal 10. Note that in FIGS. 4 and 5, the wireless communication device 50 is shown as a dimming sensor.

First, as a preparation before performing communication settings and control settings on the dimming sensor, setting data D1 of the load control system 1 before replacing the dimming sensor is read (step S11 in FIG. 4). Specifically, while communication is established between the information terminal 10 and the communication interface 20, the setting data D1 is read from the communication interface 20 and stored in the information terminal 10. Note that if the information terminal 10 already has the setting data D1, step S11 may be omitted.

Next, a dimming sensor for communication settings and control settings is selected (step S12 in FIG. 4). For example, as shown in FIG. 5(a), when an input to select "Dimmer sensor data recovery" is received on the maintenance function list screen of the information terminal 10, each sensor number corresponding to a plurality of light sensors is The image is displayed. For example, as shown in FIG. 5(b), when an input is received to select sensor number 7 among multiple dimming sensors, the dimming sensor number 7 is selected as the target for communication settings and control settings. be done.

Next, the process moves to a first setting mode for performing communication settings and control settings for the dimming sensor (step S13 in FIG. 4). For example, when the information terminal 10 shown in FIG. A mode switching signal s1 is transmitted to the optical sensor (see (c) in FIG. 5). By receiving the mode switching signal s1, the dimming sensor shifts to a first setting mode in which communication settings and control settings can be made. As shown in FIG. 5(d), the information terminal 10 displays an image indicating that it is communicating with the dimming sensor.

Note that when the information terminal 10 transmits the mode switching signal s1 to the dimming sensor via the communication interface 20, it may also transmit the communication channel used in the wireless communication c1 and the communication address of the communication interface 20 at the same time. good. Further, after receiving the mode switching signal s1, the dimming sensor may send back the communication channel to be used in the wireless communication c1 to the information terminal 10 via the communication interface 20. By transmitting and receiving information regarding a communication channel and a communication address between the information terminal 10 and the light control sensor, communication settings for the wireless communication c1 in the first setting mode can be appropriately performed.

When transitioning to the first setting mode, the information terminal 10 transmits setting data D1 including information that enables wireless communication c1 between the dimming sensor and the wireless device 40 to the dimming sensor via the communication interface 20 ( Step S14 in FIG. 4). The light control sensor performs the communication settings and control settings described below by acquiring the setting data D1 output from the information terminal 10. Note that the communication settings and control settings described below are automatically performed between the information terminal 10, the communication interface 20, and the dimming sensor.

FIG. 6 is a sequence diagram showing operations of the wireless communication device (light control sensor) 50 and the information terminal 10. FIG. 7 is a sequence diagram showing the operation continued from FIG. 6. In the first setting mode in FIGS. 6 and 7, the information terminal 10 and the communication interface 20 communicate via wireless communication c3, and the communication interface 20 and the dimming sensor communicate via wireless communication c1.

As shown in FIG. 6, the information terminal 10 first transmits data related to the communication channel of the first communication unit 51 out of the setting data D1 to the dimming sensor via the communication interface 20. The information terminal 10 then requests the dimming sensor to set a communication channel.
