In general, the lighting device is used for the purpose of shining a fire, such as the inside and outside of the building or an electronic sign. By the way, such a conventional lighting device is to control by connecting a separate lighting switch. Of course, if the scale is large, and there are a large number of lighting devices to be controlled, it is controlled collectively through a separate program or system.

Then, looking at the lighting device or lighting device that requires a collective control, such as the present invention, for example, a large advertising board and a billboard attached to the roof or the outer surface of the building. Such advertising boards or electronic displays are often images or texts and advertisements that must be displayed, and the control scheme is complicated because they have to have different colors depending on the lighting. In particular, the lighting installed in pixel units must express images and characters with different colors, so there must be a separate program for driving them. And you need a separate hardware system to run this program.

However, this hardware is expensive and its volume is so large that it must be connected to the lighting device via wireless or wired and controlled in the state of being stored inside the building. At this time, there is a problem in that the wireline has to be supplied with a huge volume of power lines, and even in the case of wireless, the controllable area is not wide enough to accomplish the original purpose.

In addition, if one attempts to control the illumination of the outer skyline of a plurality of buildings through one piece of hardware, the accuracy is inferior to the method of wireless communication, and a high cost is incurred to prepare a system for this. Moreover, in the case of this century emphasizing the city's evening skyline, there is a high possibility that it will damage the night view of the city if it is controlled by applying this method to only a few buildings.

There is an AT device 50 having a control unit 40 for outputting a signal, and there is a lighting device 60 connected to the AT device 50 by a wire and lighting the lamp according to the output DMX signal. Therefore, they are combined, but the information transmitted from the main server 10 is transmitted to the AT device 50 through the Internet network to be processed.

That is, in the present invention, as shown in Figure 1, the main server 10 is located at a remote or short distance, the main server 10 is operated by management software (program) built into a separate computer. Therefore, when the user inputs an image for lighting and management of the lighting device to the software, the lighting information is transmitted to the lighting device (= lighting control device) requiring management through the Internet network. That is, in the present invention, without using a separate wired or wireless communication, it is possible to use at a long distance if there is only a server to use an internet network installed in each head or workplace. The input information of the present invention is transmitted to the AT device 50 of the present invention through the Internet network. The AT device 50 refers to an integrated management light control device through the Internet. It is named.

The lighting information input to this AT device is converted into a DMX signal and output.

That is, it can be connected through the Internet and the information input from the main server 10 in the IT device 50 performs the step of filtering the packet, and converts the signal to the DMX signal that can control the lighting device This is because the output is made. So let's take a closer look at the process.

In the main server 10 of the present invention, the information of the specified type will be input through the software. In the case of an electric signboard, the illumination and the number of lights to be lit, and in the case of an advertisement board, information of a video may be input. In the case of a local building, the color of the illumination and the appearance of the illumination may be displayed. When so many different types of information are input through the software (program), the information is input to the IT device 50 located in close contact with the electronic billboards, billboards and buildings. More specifically, it is input to the receiver 52 of FIG. 3. The input information is transmitted to the control unit 40, and the control unit 40 filters the packet and converts the packet into a DMX signal. The DMX signal is a lighting and video signal that has already been used in the lighting device of the present invention, and the output signal is directly transmitted to an electronic board, an advertising board, or a building lamp through the OUT PUT unit 55 to display the lighting and video. In this case, the display unit 51 may display a state through the display window and a plurality of LEDs to determine whether the AT device 50 of the present invention operates properly.
