ところで、室内等の所定の領域に多くの照明器具が配置され、リモコン(遠隔操作装置)が多くの照明器具に無線通信により点灯制御信号、または点灯に関する設定情報のデータを含む信号を送信する場合が考えられる。この場合、多くの照明器具からリモコンに返信信号があると、リモコンがその信号を処理する必要があるため、リモコンから照明器具に信号を送信するときの通信エラーが生じる可能性がある。特に、リモコンから照明器具に送信する通信データ量が多くなる場合には、多くの照明器具からリモコンに返信信号があると、通信エラーがより生じやすくなる。これによって、第1の状況として、多くの照明器具からリモコンに返信信号がある場合の照明器具の操作性が低下する可能性がある。 By the way, when many lighting fixtures are arranged in a predetermined area such as a room, and a remote control (remote control device) transmits a lighting control signal or a signal containing data of setting information regarding lighting to many lighting fixtures by wireless communication. is possible. In this case, if there are return signals from many lighting fixtures to the remote control, the remote control needs to process the signals, which may result in communication errors when transmitting signals from the remote control to the lighting fixtures. Particularly when the amount of communication data transmitted from the remote controller to the lighting fixture increases, communication errors are more likely to occur if there are return signals from many lighting fixtures to the remote controller. As a first situation, this may reduce the operability of the lighting fixture when there are return signals from many lighting fixtures to the remote control.

一方、リモコンの通常の配置位置から大きく離れた屋外等に照明器具が配置される場合に、ユーザがリモコンを操作してその照明器具を点灯制御しようとしても、無線通信で制御信号がその照明器具に届かないことが多い。このため、第2の状況として、リモコンの通常の配置位置から大きく離れた位置に照明器具がある場合に、照明器具の操作性が悪い。 On the other hand, if a lighting fixture is placed outdoors, etc., far away from the normal location of the remote control, and the user attempts to control the lighting of the lighting fixture by operating the remote control, the control signal is sent to the lighting fixture via wireless communication. is often not reached. Therefore, as a second situation, when the lighting fixture is located at a position far away from the normal placement position of the remote control, the operability of the lighting fixture is poor.

本開示の目的は、照明器具用リモコン及び照明システムにおいて、多くの照明器具からリモコンに返信信号がある場合と、リモコンの通常の配置位置から大きく離れた位置に照明器具がある場合とのそれぞれで、照明器具の操作性を高くすることである。 The purpose of the present disclosure is to provide a remote control for a lighting device and a lighting system when there are return signals to the remote control from many lighting devices, and when the lighting device is located at a location far away from the normal placement position of the remote control. , to improve the operability of lighting equipment.

本開示の一態様である照明器具用リモコンは、照明器具と無線通信可能に構成され、照明器具を設定または制御する照明器具用リモコンであって、設定情報を照明器具に設定し、または、設定情報の内容に応じて照明器具を制御する制御回路を有し、制御回路は、(1)設定情報の内容に応じて、点灯制御時に前記照明器具に点灯制御信号を送る機能、及び、(2)設定情報のデータの全部を照明器具に送る機能の2つの機能を有し、状況に応じて、(1)及び(2)の機能の何れを実行するかを選択可能に構成される、照明器具用リモコンである。 A lighting equipment remote control that is one aspect of the present disclosure is a lighting equipment remote controller that is configured to be able to communicate wirelessly with a lighting equipment, sets or controls the lighting equipment, and sets or sets setting information to the lighting equipment. It has a control circuit that controls the lighting equipment according to the content of the information, and the control circuit has a function of (1) sending a lighting control signal to the lighting equipment during lighting control according to the content of the setting information, and (2) ) A lighting device that has two functions: a function to send all setting information data to the lighting equipment, and is configured so that it can select which of the functions (1) and (2) to execute depending on the situation. This is a remote control for appliances.

本開示の一態様である照明システムは、本開示の照明器具用リモコンと、照明器具用リモコンによって設定または制御される照明器具とを、含む、照明システムである。 A lighting system that is one aspect of the present disclosure includes a lighting fixture remote control of the present disclosure and a lighting fixture that is set or controlled by the lighting fixture remote control.

本開示の一態様である照明器具用リモコン及び照明システムによれば、多くの照明器具からリモコンに返信信号がある場合と、リモコンの通常の配置位置から大きく離れた位置に照明器具がある場合とのそれぞれで、照明器具の操作性を高くできる。 According to the lighting equipment remote control and lighting system that is one aspect of the present disclosure, there are cases in which the remote control receives return signals from many lighting equipment, and cases in which the lighting equipment is located at a position far away from the normal placement position of the remote controller.

図1は、実施形態の一例の照明器具用リモコン30を含む照明システム10を示す図である。照明システム10は、照明器具用リモコン30と、照明器具用リモコン30に設定または制御される照明器具とを備える。照明器具は、通常は建物の室内に配置される複数の第一照明器具12と、複数の第二照明器具14とである。複数の第二照明器具14は、複数の第一照明器具12の1つの第一照明器具12から、2つの第一照明器具12の最大間隔より大きく離れた位置に設置される。例えば複数の第二照明器具14のそれぞれは、一端の第二照明器具14から、両端の2つの第一照明器具12の最大間隔より大きく離れた位置に設置される。複数の第二照明器具14は、例えば建物の屋外に設置される。複数の第二照明器具14は、室内に配置されていてもよい。複数の第二照明器具14は、例えば、室内で第一照明器具12を照明器具用リモコン30で操作可能な位置から、第二照明器具14を照明器具用リモコン30で操作しようとしても制御信号が第二照明器具14に正常に届かず、例えば照明器具用リモコン30がエラーの表示等、警告を発生する位置にある。以下では、複数の第二照明器具14が屋外に設置される場合を説明する。照明器具用リモコン30は、各第一照明器具12及び各第二照明器具14と無線通信可能に構成され、各第一照明器具12及び各第二照明器具14を設定または制御する。第二照明器具14について、より具体的には、各第二照明器具14は、少なくとも近接にある照明器具用リモコン30と無線通信可能である。以下、照明器具用リモコン30は、リモコン30と記載する。リモコン30は、後で詳しく説明するように、ユーザ1の操作により設定された設定情報を第二照明器具14に送信することで第二照明器具14に設定情報を設定し、または、ユーザ1の操作により設定された設定情報の内容に応じて第一照明器具12を制御する。 FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a lighting system 10 including a lighting equipment remote control 30 according to an example embodiment. The lighting system 10 includes a lighting fixture remote controller 30 and lighting fixtures set or controlled by the lighting fixture remote controller 30. The lighting fixtures are a plurality of first lighting fixtures 12 and a plurality of second lighting fixtures 14, which are usually placed inside a building. The plurality of second lighting fixtures 14 are installed at positions farther away from one first lighting fixture 12 of the plurality of first lighting fixtures 12 than the maximum interval between two first lighting fixtures 12. For example, each of the plurality of second lighting fixtures 14 is installed at a position farther away from the second lighting fixture 14 at one end than the maximum distance between the two first lighting fixtures 12 at both ends. The plurality of second lighting fixtures 14 are installed, for example, outdoors of a building. The plurality of second lighting fixtures 14 may be placed indoors. For example, even if an attempt is made to operate the second lighting fixtures 14 indoors using the lighting remote controller 30 from a position where the first lighting fixture 12 can be operated using the lighting equipment remote controller 30, the control signal is not received. The second lighting fixture 14 cannot be reached normally and, for example, the lighting fixture remote control 30 is in a position where a warning such as an error display is generated. Below, a case where a plurality of second lighting fixtures 14 are installed outdoors will be described. The lighting fixture remote control 30 is configured to be able to communicate wirelessly with each first lighting fixture 12 and each second lighting fixture 14, and sets or controls each first lighting fixture 12 and each second lighting fixture 14. More specifically, regarding the second lighting fixtures 14, each second lighting fixture 14 is capable of wireless communication with at least a nearby lighting fixture remote control 30. Hereinafter, the lighting equipment remote control 30 will be referred to as a remote control 30. As will be described in detail later, the remote controller 30 sets the setting information in the second lighting fixture 14 by transmitting the setting information set by the user 1's operation to the second lighting fixture 14, or sets the setting information in the second lighting fixture 14, or The first lighting fixture 12 is controlled according to the content of the setting information set by the operation.

照明システム10が備える第一照明器具12の数は、複数であれば特に限定されない。照明システム10が備える第二照明器具14の数は、1つ以上であれば特に限定されない。複数の第一照明器具12は、例えばシーリングライトである。第一照明器具12は、ダウンライト、スポットライト等の他の種類としてもよい。図1では、丸により第一照明器具12を示している。複数の第二照明器具14は、例えばスポットライトである。第二照明器具14は、ガーデンライト等の他の種類としてもよい。 The number of first lighting fixtures 12 included in the lighting system 10 is not particularly limited as long as it is plural. The number of second lighting fixtures 14 included in the lighting system 10 is not particularly limited as long as it is one or more. The plurality of first lighting fixtures 12 are, for example, ceiling lights. The first lighting fixture 12 may be of other types, such as a downlight or a spotlight. In FIG. 1, the first lighting fixture 12 is indicated by a circle. The plurality of second lighting fixtures 14 are, for example, spotlights. The second lighting fixture 14 may be of other types, such as a garden light.

複数の第一照明器具12は、グループ1、グループ2、グループ3及びグループ4の4つのグループに分けられ、各グループが複数の第一照明器具12を有する。各グループでは、複数の第一照明器具12が互いに無線通信可能となっている。 The plurality of first lighting fixtures 12 are divided into four groups, group 1, group 2, group 3, and group 4, and each group has a plurality of first lighting fixtures 12. In each group, a plurality of first lighting fixtures 12 can communicate wirelessly with each other.

図2は、照明システム10を構成する第一照明器具12とリモコン30との構成を示す図である。第一照明器具12は、ユーザ1が操作するリモコン30と無線通信可能に接続される。リモコン30は、ユーザ1に操作された場合に、その操作により、またはその操作により設定された設定情報に応じて点灯制御信号を送信する。図2では、複数の第一照明器具12として、2つの第一照明器具12のみを示している。第一照明器具12は、通信部16、制御回路18、光源部20、及び記憶部22を備える。第一照明器具12は、リモコン30から同じグループ内で最初に点灯制御信号を受けたときに同じグループの他の第一照明器具12に点灯制御信号を転送する。複数の第一照明器具12の構成は同一であってもよいが、複数の第一照明器具12は異なる構成を持っていてもよい。リモコン30から同じグループ内で最初に点灯制御信号を受けた第一照明器具12は、リモコン30に返信信号としての受信確認信号を送信する。 FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the configuration of the first lighting fixture 12 and the remote control 30 that constitute the lighting system 10. The first lighting fixture 12 is connected to a remote control 30 operated by the user 1 so as to be able to communicate wirelessly. When operated by the user 1, the remote control 30 transmits a lighting control signal according to the operation or setting information set by the operation. In FIG. 2, only two first lighting fixtures 12 are shown as the plurality of first lighting fixtures 12. The first lighting fixture 12 includes a communication section 16, a control circuit 18, a light source section 20, and a storage section 22. When the first lighting fixture 12 first receives a lighting control signal within the same group from the remote controller 30, it transfers the lighting control signal to other first lighting fixtures 12 in the same group. Although the configurations of the plurality of first lighting fixtures 12 may be the same, the plurality of first lighting fixtures 12 may have different configurations. The first lighting fixture 12 that receives the lighting control signal from the remote controller 30 first in the same group transmits a reception confirmation signal as a reply signal to the remote controller 30.

通信部16は、第一照明器具12が、リモコン30及び同じグループ内の他の第一照明器具12と無線通信するためのインターフェースである。 The communication unit 16 is an interface for the first lighting fixture 12 to wirelessly communicate with the remote control 30 and other first lighting fixtures 12 in the same group.

制御回路18は、通信部16を制御する。制御回路18は、リモコン30から受信した点灯制御信号に応じて光源部20の点灯状態を制御する。制御回路18は、例えば、CPUを有し、記憶部22に記憶されたプログラムによって演算処理が実行される。制御回路18は、リモコン30から同じグループ内で最初に点灯制御信号を受けたときに、同じグループの他の第一照明器具12に点灯制御信号を転送する。また、制御回路18は、リモコン30から同じグループ内で最初に点灯制御信号を受けたときに、リモコン30に受信確認信号を送信する。例えば、制御回路18は、リモコン30から点灯制御信号を受けたときに、まだ他の第一照明器具12から点灯制御信号の転送を受けていないときには、自機がリモコン30から同じグループ内で最初に点灯制御信号を受けた第一照明器具であると判断して、受信確認信号をリモコン30に送信する。 Control circuit 18 controls communication section 16 . The control circuit 18 controls the lighting state of the light source section 20 according to a lighting control signal received from the remote controller 30. The control circuit 18 includes, for example, a CPU, and arithmetic processing is executed by a program stored in the storage unit 22. When the control circuit 18 first receives a lighting control signal from the remote controller 30 in the same group, it transfers the lighting control signal to the other first lighting fixtures 12 in the same group. Further, when the control circuit 18 first receives a lighting control signal from the remote controller 30 in the same group, it transmits a reception confirmation signal to the remote controller 30. For example, when the control circuit 18 receives a lighting control signal from the remote controller 30 and has not yet received a lighting control signal from another first lighting fixture 12, the control circuit 18 determines that the controller 18 is the first one in the same group from the remote controller 30. It is determined that this is the first lighting fixture that received the lighting control signal, and transmits a reception confirmation signal to the remote controller 30.

光源部20は、照明光を発する。例えば光源部20は、LED、蛍光灯、ハロゲンランプ等である。 The light source section 20 emits illumination light. For example, the light source section 20 is an LED, a fluorescent lamp, a halogen lamp, or the like.

記憶部22は、ROM、RAM、HDD、フラッシュメモリ等により実現される。記憶部22は、受信した点灯制御信号を記憶する機能を有する。 The storage unit 22 is realized by ROM, RAM, HDD, flash memory, etc. The storage unit 22 has a function of storing the received lighting control signal.

リモコン30は、操作部31、通信部32、制御回路33、記憶部34及びタイマー部35を含む。操作部31は、ユーザ1の操作を受け付けて、受け付けた操作の内容を制御回路33に送信する。リモコン30がスマートフォンである場合、リモコン30は、操作部の機能を有するタッチパネルスクリーンを有する。 The remote control 30 includes an operation section 31, a communication section 32, a control circuit 33, a storage section 34, and a timer section 35. The operation unit 31 receives an operation from the user 1 and transmits the content of the received operation to the control circuit 33. When the remote control 30 is a smartphone, the remote control 30 has a touch panel screen that functions as an operation section.

通信部32は、リモコン30が複数の照明器具12と無線通信するためのインターフェースである。 The communication unit 32 is an interface for the remote control 30 to wirelessly communicate with the plurality of lighting fixtures 12.

制御回路33は、通信部32を制御する機能を有する。制御回路33は、例えば、CPUを有し、後述の記憶部34に記憶されたプログラムによって演算処理が実行される。 The control circuit 33 has a function of controlling the communication section 32. The control circuit 33 has, for example, a CPU, and arithmetic processing is executed by a program stored in a storage unit 34, which will be described later.

制御回路33は、操作部31が操作され、その操作が第一照明器具12の点灯状態を操作する指示である場合に、通信部32を介して点灯制御信号を無線信号で各グループの第一照明器具12に送信する。各グループでリモコン30から最初に点灯制御信号を受信した第一照明器具12は、同じグループの他の第一照明器具12に点灯制御信号を転送する。リモコン30または他の第一照明器具12から点灯制御信号を受信した第一照明器具12は、その点灯制御信号の内容に応じて光源部20の点灯を制御する。これにより、リモコン30を持つユーザ1が、複数のグループの各第一照明器具12の点灯状態を操作することが可能である。 When the operation section 31 is operated and the operation is an instruction to control the lighting state of the first lighting fixture 12, the control circuit 33 transmits a lighting control signal to the first lighting device of each group via the communication section 32 as a wireless signal. It is transmitted to the lighting fixture 12. The first lighting fixture 12 in each group that first receives the lighting control signal from the remote controller 30 transfers the lighting control signal to the other first lighting fixtures 12 in the same group. The first lighting fixture 12 that has received the lighting control signal from the remote controller 30 or another first lighting fixture 12 controls the lighting of the light source section 20 according to the content of the lighting control signal. Thereby, the user 1 holding the remote control 30 can operate the lighting state of each first lighting fixture 12 of a plurality of groups.

さらに、制御回路33は、(1)後述のタイマー部35に関係する設定情報の内容に応じて、点灯制御時に照明器具に点灯制御信号を送る機能、及び、(2)設定情報のデータの全部を照明器具に送る機能の2つの機能を有し、状況に応じて、(1)及び(2)の機能の何れを実行するかを選択可能に構成される。 Furthermore, the control circuit 33 has (1) a function of sending a lighting control signal to the lighting equipment during lighting control according to the content of setting information related to the timer unit 35 described later, and (2) all data of the setting information. It has two functions, one for sending the light to the lighting equipment, and is configured so that it can select which of the functions (1) and (2) to perform depending on the situation.

例えば、第一照明器具12を、設定情報の内容に応じて制御するときに、制御回路33に(1)の機能を実行させ、第二照明器具14(図1)を、設定情報の内容に応じて制御するときに、制御回路33に(2)の機能を実行させる。このため、第一照明器具12の操作部31に、第一照明器具12の操作と第二照明器具14の操作とを切り換えるボタンまたはスイッチ等の切換部を設けてもよい。また、リモコン30から複数の第一照明器具12に向けて信号を送信したときに多くの第一照明器具12から受信確認信号がリモコン30に送信され、リモコン30から第二照明器具14に向けて信号を送信したときに少ない数の第二照明器具14から受信確認信号がリモコン30に送信される。このため、制御回路33が、リモコン30で受信した受信確認信号の数に応じて、制御回路33に(1)の機能を実行させるか、または(2)の機能を実行させるかを切り換える構成としてもよい。 For example, when controlling the first lighting fixture 12 according to the contents of the setting information, the control circuit 33 executes the function (1), and the second lighting fixture 14 (FIG. 1) is controlled according to the contents of the setting information. When controlling accordingly, the control circuit 33 is caused to perform the function (2). For this reason, the operation unit 31 of the first lighting fixture 12 may be provided with a switching unit such as a button or a switch for switching between operation of the first lighting fixture 12 and operation of the second lighting fixture 14. Furthermore, when the remote control 30 transmits a signal to the plurality of first lighting fixtures 12, many of the first lighting fixtures 12 transmit reception confirmation signals to the remote control 30, and the signal is transmitted from the remote control 30 to the second lighting fixture 14. When the signal is transmitted, a reception confirmation signal is transmitted to the remote controller 30 from a small number of second lighting fixtures 14. For this reason, a configuration is adopted in which the control circuit 33 switches between having the control circuit 33 execute the function (1) or the function (2) depending on the number of reception confirmation signals received by the remote control 30. Good too.

制御回路33は、操作部31が操作され、その操作が設定情報の内容に応じて第一照明器具12を制御する指示である場合に、(1)の機能を実行する。このとき、制御回路33は、記憶部34に設定情報を記憶させると共に、設定情報の内容に応じて各グループの第一照明器具12を制御する。 The control circuit 33 executes the function (1) when the operation unit 31 is operated and the operation is an instruction to control the first lighting fixture 12 according to the content of the setting information. At this time, the control circuit 33 stores the setting information in the storage unit 34 and controls the first lighting fixtures 12 of each group according to the content of the setting information.

設定情報は、タイマー関係情報、及び第一照明器具12または第二照明器具14を設定または制御するデータを含む。タイマー関係情報は、現在時刻、タイマー設定時刻、タイマー動作時の点灯状態、繰り返し情報、及び曜日情報の1つ以上を有する。タイマー設定時刻は、点灯制御が開始または終了される時刻を表す。これらの設定情報のデータは、データ量が多い。このため、実施形態と異なり、リモコンから各第一照明器具に設定情報の全データを送信し、各第一照明器具が、設定情報の内容に応じて、例えばタイマー設定時刻に達したときに点灯制御する構成では、リモコンから各第一照明器具へ送信するデータ量が多くなってしまう。この場合には、多くの第一照明器具からリモコンに返信信号がある場合において、リモコンから各第一照明器具に信号を送信するときの通信エラーが生じやすくなり、通信エラーが生じた第一照明器具を操作できなくなることにより、第一照明器具の操作性が低下する可能性がある。実施形態では、リモコン30が設定情報の内容に応じて第一照明器具12を制御する制御回路33を有し、制御回路33が(1)の設定情報の内容に応じて、点灯制御時に点灯制御信号を送る機能を有する。また、第一照明器具12は、点灯制御信号の受信に応じて点灯が制御される。これにより、リモコン30からの送信における通信エラーが生じにくくなるので、多くの第一照明器具12からリモコン30に返信信号がある場合の第一照明器具12の操作性を高くできる。また、点灯制御信号には返信を必要としない設定(構成)としてもよい。この場合には、さらに通信性能が改善され、操作性も高まる。 The setting information includes timer-related information and data for setting or controlling the first lighting fixture 12 or the second lighting fixture 14. The timer related information includes one or more of the current time, timer setting time, lighting state during timer operation, repetition information, and day of the week information. The timer setting time represents the time when lighting control is started or ended. These setting information data have a large amount of data. Therefore, unlike the embodiment, all data of setting information is sent from the remote control to each first lighting fixture, and each first lighting fixture is turned on according to the content of the setting information, for example, when the timer setting time is reached. In the control configuration, the amount of data transmitted from the remote control to each first lighting fixture increases. In this case, if there are return signals from many primary lighting fixtures to the remote controller, communication errors are likely to occur when transmitting signals from the remote controller to each primary lighting fixture, and By not being able to operate the fixture, the operability of the first lighting fixture may be reduced. In the embodiment, the remote controller 30 has a control circuit 33 that controls the first lighting fixture 12 according to the contents of the setting information, and the control circuit 33 controls the lighting during the lighting control according to the contents of the setting information (1). It has the function of sending signals. Furthermore, lighting of the first lighting fixture 12 is controlled in response to reception of a lighting control signal. As a result, communication errors in transmission from the remote control 30 are less likely to occur, so the operability of the first lighting fixture 12 can be improved when there are return signals from many first lighting fixtures 12 to the remote control 30. Further, a setting (configuration) may be adopted in which the lighting control signal does not require a reply. In this case, communication performance is further improved and operability is also enhanced.

具体的には、リモコン30は、上記のように記憶部34及びタイマー部35を有する。記憶部34は、ROM、RAM、HDD、フラッシュメモリ等により実現される。記憶部34は、操作部31の操作による点灯制御の指示内容を記憶する機能を有する。また、記憶部34は、操作部31の操作によって設定情報が設定された場合にその設定情報を記憶する。また、記憶部34は、プログラムを記憶する。制御回路33は、記憶部34に記憶されたプログラムを実行することで、設定情報の内容に応じて第一照明器具12を制御することが可能である。また、リモコン30は、電源として電池を有し、自機の電源オフ時にも、記憶部34に記憶された設定情報が消えないようにしている。 Specifically, the remote control 30 includes the storage section 34 and the timer section 35 as described above. The storage unit 34 is realized by ROM, RAM, HDD, flash memory, etc. The storage unit 34 has a function of storing instructions for lighting control by operating the operation unit 31. Further, the storage unit 34 stores setting information when the setting information is set by operating the operation unit 31. Furthermore, the storage unit 34 stores programs. The control circuit 33 can control the first lighting fixture 12 according to the content of the setting information by executing a program stored in the storage unit 34. Further, the remote controller 30 has a battery as a power source, so that the setting information stored in the storage unit 34 is not erased even when the remote controller 30 is powered off.

タイマー部35は、時間を計時する。制御回路33は、タイマー設定時刻における点灯制御の開始時刻と現在時刻との差分を設定時間として算出してタイマー部35に計時させ、タイマー部35により設定時間が計時された場合に、各グループに点灯制御信号を送信する。制御回路33は、曜日情報を用いて、現在の曜日が点灯制御を開始する曜日か否かを判定し、その判定が肯定判定の場合に点灯制御の開始時刻に点灯制御信号が送信されるようにしてもよい。また、制御回路33により点灯制御信号を送信するときに、タイマー動作時の点灯状態及び繰り返し情報を用いて点灯が制御されるようにしてもよい。 The timer section 35 measures time. The control circuit 33 calculates the difference between the start time of the lighting control at the timer setting time and the current time as the set time, causes the timer section 35 to measure the time, and when the timer section 35 measures the set time, the control circuit 33 calculates the difference between the start time of the lighting control at the timer setting time and the current time, and causes the timer section 35 to time the set time. Send lighting control signal. The control circuit 33 uses the day of the week information to determine whether the current day of the week is the day of the week to start lighting control, and if the determination is affirmative, the lighting control signal is transmitted at the start time of lighting control. You may also do so. Furthermore, when the control circuit 33 transmits the lighting control signal, lighting may be controlled using the lighting state and repetition information during timer operation.

リモコン30と第一照明器具12とは、例えばBLE(Bluetooth(登録商標) Low Energy)の無線通信により通信可能に接続される。複数の第一照明器具12同士も、BLE等の無線通信により通信可能に接続される。例えば、リモコン30からの照明制御信号を受けた第一照明器具12は、BLEにより点灯制御信号を送信する。複数の第一照明器具12には器具IDが設定されており、送信先の器具IDを含む信号を発信することで、送信先の第一照明器具12が、その受信信号が自機のIDを含む場合にその信号を読み取って第一照明器具12の点灯状態を制御する。 The remote control 30 and the first lighting fixture 12 are communicably connected, for example, by BLE (Bluetooth (registered trademark) Low Energy) wireless communication. The plurality of first lighting fixtures 12 are also communicably connected to each other by wireless communication such as BLE. For example, the first lighting fixture 12 that receives the lighting control signal from the remote controller 30 transmits the lighting control signal using BLE. Appliance IDs are set for the plurality of first lighting fixtures 12, and by transmitting a signal including the destination's appliance ID, the first lighting fixture 12 at the destination can confirm that the received signal has its own ID. If so, the signal is read and the lighting state of the first lighting fixture 12 is controlled.

リモコン30は、上記のようにタイマー部35の設定時間の計時により各グループに点灯制御信号を送信するので、リモコン30でタイマー部35のオンオフ状態を確認することが可能である。 Since the remote control 30 transmits the lighting control signal to each group by measuring the set time of the timer section 35 as described above, it is possible to check the on/off state of the timer section 35 using the remote control 30.

図3は、実施形態の一例のリモコン30により複数の第一照明器具12を制御する状態を示す図である。図3では、グループ1の各第一照明器具12に付されたID:1~4の数字がそれぞれの器具IDを示しており、リモコン30からIDが4の第一照明器具12に点灯制御信号を送信する場合を示している。IDが4の第一照明器具12は、リモコン30からグループ1に点灯制御信号が送信されたときに、最初にリモコン30が受信確認信号の送信を受けた第一照明器具である。図3では、丸の1を付した白抜き矢印により、リモコン30からIDが4の第一照明器具12に、点灯制御信号が送信されることを示している。IDが4の第一照明器具12は、リモコン30から点灯制御信号を受信した場合に、丸の2を付した一点鎖線矢印で示すように、リモコン30へ信号を受信したことを表す受信確認信号を送信する。受信確認信号は、その信号を送信する第一照明器具12の識別情報を含んでいる。そして、丸の3を付した細い実線矢印で示すように、IDが4の第一照明器具12は、グループ1のIDが4以外の他の第一照明器具12に点灯制御信号を送信する。これにより、点灯制御信号を受けた各第一照明器具12が点灯制御される。図3では、グループ1の場合を説明したが、図1のグループ2~4の場合も同様である。このため、リモコン30からはグループの数と同じ数の第一照明器具12との間で点灯制御信号が送信されることにより、全ての第一照明器具12の点灯を制御できる。また、リモコン30に対しグループの数と同じ数の第一照明器具12からのみ受信確認信号が送信されるので、これによっても、第一照明器具12の操作性を高くできる。 FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a state in which a plurality of first lighting fixtures 12 are controlled by the remote controller 30 according to an example of the embodiment. In FIG. 3, the numbers ID: 1 to 4 assigned to each first lighting fixture 12 in group 1 indicate the respective fixture ID, and a lighting control signal is sent from the remote control 30 to the first lighting fixture 12 with ID 4. Shows when to send. The first lighting fixture 12 with ID 4 is the first lighting fixture to which the remote control 30 first received the reception confirmation signal when the lighting control signal was transmitted from the remote control 30 to group 1. In FIG. 3, a white arrow with a circle 1 indicates that a lighting control signal is transmitted from the remote control 30 to the first lighting fixture 12 with ID 4. When the first lighting fixture 12 with ID 4 receives the lighting control signal from the remote controller 30, it sends a reception confirmation signal to the remote controller 30 indicating that the signal has been received, as shown by the dashed-dotted arrow with a circle 2. Send. The reception confirmation signal includes identification information of the first lighting fixture 12 transmitting the signal. Then, as shown by a thin solid arrow with a circle 3, the first lighting fixture 12 with ID 4 transmits a lighting control signal to other first lighting fixtures 12 in group 1 with ID other than 4. Thereby, each first lighting fixture 12 that has received the lighting control signal is controlled to be lit. In FIG. 3, the case of group 1 has been described, but the same applies to groups 2 to 4 in FIG. Therefore, by transmitting a lighting control signal between the remote controller 30 and the first lighting fixtures 12 of the same number as the number of groups, the lighting of all the first lighting fixtures 12 can be controlled. Further, since reception confirmation signals are transmitted to the remote controller 30 only from the same number of first lighting fixtures 12 as the number of groups, this also makes it possible to improve the operability of the first lighting fixtures 12.

なお、リモコン30及び第一照明器具12の間、複数の照明器具12の間を、それぞれWi-Fi(登録商標)、Bluetooth(登録商標)等の他の無線通信により通信可能に接続してもよい。 Note that the remote control 30 and the first lighting fixture 12 and the plurality of lighting fixtures 12 may be communicably connected by other wireless communication such as Wi-Fi (registered trademark) or Bluetooth (registered trademark). good.

また、上記では、リモコン30が各グループで最初に受信確認信号の送信を受けた第一照明器具12から、同じグループの他の第一照明器具12に点灯制御信号を送信する場合を説明したが、各グループで他の第一照明器具12に点灯制御信号を送信する第一照明器具12が予め特定されていてもよい。 Furthermore, in the above description, a case has been described in which the remote control 30 transmits a lighting control signal from the first lighting fixture 12 in each group that receives the transmission of the reception confirmation signal to the other first lighting fixtures 12 in the same group. , the first lighting fixture 12 that transmits the lighting control signal to the other first lighting fixtures 12 in each group may be specified in advance.

さらに、リモコン30の制御回路33(図2)は、操作部31(図2)が操作され、その操作がタイマーに関係する設定情報の内容に応じて第二照明器具14(図1)を制御する指示である場合に、(2)の機能を実行する。このとき、制御回路33は、設定情報のデータの全部を第二照明器具14に対し、送る機能を有する。第二照明器具14は、設定情報のデータを受信した場合に、設定情報の内容が設定され、設定情報の内容に応じて後述のタイマー部35(図4)を用いて点灯が制御される。これについて、図4を用いて詳しく説明する。 Further, the control circuit 33 (FIG. 2) of the remote controller 30 controls the second lighting fixture 14 (FIG. 1) according to the content of the setting information related to the timer when the operation unit 31 (FIG. 2) is operated. If the instruction is to do so, the function (2) is executed. At this time, the control circuit 33 has a function of sending all the data of the setting information to the second lighting fixture 14. When the second lighting fixture 14 receives the data of the setting information, the content of the setting information is set, and lighting is controlled using a timer unit 35 (FIG. 4), which will be described later, according to the content of the setting information. This will be explained in detail using FIG. 4.

図4は、実施形態の一例の照明システム10を構成する第二照明器具14とリモコン30との構成を示す図である。図4では、2つの第二照明器具14がある場合を示している。第二照明器具14は、通信部17、制御回路19、光源部21、記憶部23及びタイマー部25を備える。第二照明器具14は、リモコン30から設定情報の送信を受けたときに設定情報が設定される。複数の第二照明器具14の構成は同一であってもよいが、複数の第二照明器具14は異なる構成を持っていてもよい。 FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the configuration of the second lighting fixture 14 and the remote control 30 that constitute the lighting system 10 according to an example of the embodiment. FIG. 4 shows a case where there are two second lighting fixtures 14. The second lighting fixture 14 includes a communication section 17, a control circuit 19, a light source section 21, a storage section 23, and a timer section 25. Setting information is set in the second lighting fixture 14 when the setting information is transmitted from the remote controller 30. Although the configurations of the plurality of second lighting fixtures 14 may be the same, the plurality of second lighting fixtures 14 may have different configurations.

通信部17は、第二照明器具14が、リモコン30と無線通信するためのインターフェースである。 The communication unit 17 is an interface for the second lighting fixture 14 to wirelessly communicate with the remote control 30.

制御回路19は、通信部17を制御する。制御回路19は、リモコン30から受信した点灯制御信号に応じて光源部21の点灯状態を制御する。制御回路19は、例えば、CPUを有し、記憶部23に記憶されたプログラムによって演算処理が実行される。 Control circuit 19 controls communication section 17 . The control circuit 19 controls the lighting state of the light source section 21 according to the lighting control signal received from the remote controller 30. The control circuit 19 includes, for example, a CPU, and arithmetic processing is executed by a program stored in the storage unit 23.

光源部21は、照明光を発する。例えば光源部21は、LED、蛍光灯、ハロゲンランプ等である。 The light source section 21 emits illumination light. For example, the light source section 21 is an LED, a fluorescent lamp, a halogen lamp, or the like.

記憶部23は、ROM、RAM、HDD、フラッシュメモリ等により実現される。記憶部23は、受信した点灯制御信号、または設定情報の内容を記憶する機能を有する。 The storage unit 23 is realized by ROM, RAM, HDD, flash memory, etc. The storage unit 23 has a function of storing the received lighting control signal or the contents of the setting information.

タイマー部25は、時間を計時する。制御回路19は、タイマー設定時刻における点灯制御の開始時刻と現在時刻との差分を設定時間として算出してタイマー部25に計時させ、タイマー部25により設定時間が計時された場合に、光源部21を用いて点灯制御を開始する。制御回路19は、曜日情報を用いて、現在の曜日が点灯制御を開始する曜日か否かを判定し、その判定が肯定判定の場合に点灯制御の開始時刻に点灯制御を開始してもよい。また、制御回路19により点灯制御を開始するときに、タイマー動作時の点灯状態及び繰り返し情報を用いて点灯が制御されるようにしてもよい。 The timer unit 25 measures time. The control circuit 19 calculates the difference between the start time of the lighting control at the timer setting time and the current time as a set time, causes the timer section 25 to measure the time, and when the timer section 25 measures the set time, the light source section 21 Start lighting control using . The control circuit 19 may use the day of the week information to determine whether the current day of the week is the day of the week to start the lighting control, and if the determination is affirmative, the control circuit 19 may start the lighting control at the start time of the lighting control. . Furthermore, when the control circuit 19 starts the lighting control, the lighting may be controlled using the lighting state and repetition information during timer operation.

リモコン30と第二照明器具14とは、BLE(Bluetooth(登録商標) Low Energy)、Wi-Fi(登録商標)、Bluetooth(登録商標)等の無線通信により通信可能に接続される。 The remote control 30 and the second lighting fixture 14 are communicably connected by wireless communication such as BLE (Bluetooth (registered trademark) Low Energy), Wi-Fi (registered trademark), Bluetooth (registered trademark), or the like.

ユーザ1が各第二照明器具14に設定情報を設定する場合には、図1に二点鎖線のユーザ1で示すように、ユーザ1は各第二照明器具14の近くに移動して、リモコン30を操作することにより、リモコン30から各第二照明器具14に設定情報のデータの全部を送る。各第二照明器具14は、設定情報のデータを受信した場合に、設定情報の内容が設定される。これにより、各第二照明器具14において、タイマー部35(図4)の設定時間の計時により点灯制御を開始するときに、ユーザ1がリモコン30を持って各第二照明器具14の近くにいる必要はない。また、実施形態と異なり、室内にリモコンが配置されている場合に、リモコンのタイマー部による設定時間の計時によりリモコンから第二照明器具に点灯制御信号を送信する構成では、リモコンからの制御信号が無線通信で第二照明器具に届かない可能性があるが、実施形態によればこのような不都合を防止できる。このため、リモコン30の通常の配置位置から大きく離れた位置に第二照明器具14がある場合に第二照明器具14の操作性を高くできる。 When the user 1 sets setting information to each second lighting fixture 14, the user 1 moves near each second lighting fixture 14 and uses the remote control, as shown by the two-dot chain line user 1 in FIG. 30, all of the setting information data is sent from the remote controller 30 to each second lighting fixture 14. When each second lighting fixture 14 receives the data of the setting information, the contents of the setting information are set. This allows the user 1 to be near each second lighting fixture 14 with the remote control 30 when starting lighting control in each second lighting fixture 14 by measuring the set time of the timer section 35 (FIG. 4). There's no need. Further, unlike the embodiment, in a configuration in which a lighting control signal is transmitted from the remote control to the second lighting fixture by measuring a set time using a timer section of the remote control when the remote control is placed indoors, the control signal from the remote control is Although there is a possibility that the second lighting equipment cannot be reached by wireless communication, such inconvenience can be prevented according to the embodiment. Therefore, when the second lighting fixture 14 is located at a position far away from the normal placement position of the remote control 30, the operability of the second lighting fixture 14 can be improved.

なお、第二照明器具14に設定情報を送信できたことは、第二照明器具14からの受信確認信号を受信したときに、リモコン30が有する表示部にアンサーバック表示を点滅させてユーザ1が確認できるようにしてもよい。 Note that the fact that the setting information was successfully transmitted to the second lighting fixture 14 means that when the reception confirmation signal is received from the second lighting fixture 14, the user 1 flashes an answerback display on the display section of the remote control 30. It may be possible to confirm it.

上記のリモコン30及び照明システム10によれば、多くの照明器具からリモコン30に返信信号がある場合と、リモコン30の通常の配置位置から大きく離れた位置に照明器具がある場合とのそれぞれで、照明器具の操作性を高くできる。 According to the remote control 30 and lighting system 10 described above, in the case where there are return signals to the remote control 30 from many lighting fixtures, and in the case where the lighting fixture is located at a position far away from the normal placement position of the remote control 30, The operability of lighting equipment can be improved.

なお、上述の実施形態は本開示の目的を損なわない範囲で適宜設計変更できる。例えば、上記では、複数の第一照明器具12が複数のグループにグループ化されている場合を説明したが、本開示はこの構成に限定しない。例えば、複数の第一照明器具の全部にリモコン30から点灯制御信号を送信し、各第一照明器具からリモコン30に受信確認信号が送信される構成としてもよい。 Note that the above-described embodiments may be modified in design as appropriate without impairing the purpose of the present disclosure. For example, although a case has been described above in which the plurality of first lighting fixtures 12 are grouped into a plurality of groups, the present disclosure is not limited to this configuration. For example, a configuration may be adopted in which a lighting control signal is transmitted from the remote controller 30 to all of the plurality of first lighting fixtures, and a reception confirmation signal is transmitted from each first lighting fixture to the remote controller 30.
