LED lighting is attracting attention as energy consumption from lighting consumes 15% of total global energy consumption and accounts for 5% of total greenhouse gas emissions, and it is increasingly voiced to reduce energy consumption and minimize greenhouse gas emissions .

LED has been developed and studied as a light source to replace incandescent lamps and fluorescent lamps because it has low power consumption, high efficiency, and environment-friendly. Many domestic construction companies have reflected underground parking lot and outdoor street lamp with high energy saving effect for price.

Such LED lighting was favorable for growth because the government provided policy support to construction and outdoor areas in the early market and the price sensitivity was relatively low.

On the other hand, residential indoor lighting has a high proportion of B2C in distribution channels and relatively high price sensitivity.

However, LED lighting prices are expected to accelerate into residential lighting areas, as LED lighting prices are rapidly falling and the regulation of incandescent lamps is expanding.

In fact, most construction companies in Korea have focused on LEDs rather than main lighting for the past three years, such as entrance and aisles. However, from early March 2014, the Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH) In the last few years.

LED lighting, which is becoming popular in the market today, has higher energy efficiency with lower power consumption than fluorescent lamps.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

It should be understood, however, that the scope of the present invention is not limited to these embodiments, and all of the technical ideas that fall within the scope of the present invention are within the scope of the present invention.

FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram schematically illustrating a color temperature and illumination control system for each situation using a remote controller according to an embodiment of the present invention.

2 is a block diagram of an LED lamp unit in a context-based color temperature and luminance control system using a remote controller according to an embodiment of the present invention.

3 is a block diagram of control means of a color temperature and illumination control system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 4 is an illustration of an infrared remote control of a context-based color temperature and illumination control system using a remote controller according to an embodiment of the present invention.

1, the context-based color temperature and luminance control system using the remote controller of the present invention includes an infrared remote controller 200; An LED lamp means 100; And a power switch.

Specifically, the infrared remote controller 200 constitutes a button for setting a color temperature and an illuminance for each situation.

At this time, the LED lamp unit 100 acquires an operation signal of the infrared remote controller and lights up with the adjusted color temperature and illuminance according to the situation.

That is, the user controls the illuminance (brightness) and the color temperature (illumination color) desired by the user using the infrared remote controller, and the adjusted values are stored in the context-specific operation value storage unit configured in the LED lamp unit 100 .

On the other hand, it is natural that the illuminance and the color temperature of the LED can not be adjusted when the power switch is turned off.

For example, the power consumption of a living room can be set to 300w, the power consumption of a bedroom can be set to 200w, and in the case of a living room, PURE 150W, WARM 150W, And in the case of a bedroom, a PURE 100W and a WARM 100W may be constituted.

LED lighting, which is becoming popular in the market today, has higher energy efficiency with lower power consumption than fluorescent lamps.

However, LED lighting that can control the color temperature (brightness) and brightness (illumination) is not popularized, and the use of space (bedroom, living room, Etc.), it is difficult to control the proper color temperature and brightness (illuminance).

In addition, it is only possible to turn on and off by a switch, and it is difficult to control illumination physical quantity (color temperature, illumination, etc.) by an application of a remote controller or a mobile phone.

Since the dimming control function must be performed for the above-described control, a dimming converter should be constructed.

2, the LED lamp unit 100 of the present invention includes an infrared ray receiving unit 110, a control unit 120, a first dimming converter 130, a second dimming converter 140 A plurality of white LEDs 150, and a plurality of warm white LEDs 160.

The infrared receiving unit 110 receives an operation signal of an infrared remote control. The control unit 120 controls the first and second dimming converters in accordance with an operation signal of the infrared remote control, Signal.

The operation signal is a signal manipulated according to a situation. For example, the operation signal is a signal that is used as a signal that is used for various purposes such as use of a space (a living room, a room, Color temperature value and illuminance value set according to the user characteristics (10, 20, 30, 40, etc.).

With such a configuration, the remote control can be used to change the illumination of the illumination and change the illumination environment conditions.

In addition, since the user can arbitrarily control the color temperature and the illuminance, it is possible to reflect individual sensibility needs of each user.

In addition, since the illumination applied to each action is different and energy consumption (power consumption) is also different from this, energy saving can be maximized.

That is, when the illuminance is low, the power consumption is small, and when the illuminance is high, the power consumption is high, so electricity is used as much as the illumination required for each action.

For this purpose, the first dimming converter 130 and the second dimming converter 140 are constituted. The dimming voltage is applied to the white LED according to the dimming control signal of the control means through the first dimming converter 130 .

In addition, the dimming voltage is applied to the warm white LED according to the dimming control signal of the control means through the second dimming converter 140.

As described above, the first dimming converter and the second dimming converter are configured as follows. The reason is that a plurality of white LEDs 150 that are turned on by the first dimming converter and a plurality of warm white LEDs 160 that are turned on by the second dimming converter So that the user can provide desired color temperature and illuminance.

In particular, in the case of color temperature control, each of the dimming converters is configured to control the color temperature according to the lighting ratio of the pure LED (white LED) and the warm LED (warm white LED), thereby providing precise color temperature values .

Here, the light emitting device is preferably composed of a white LED and a warm LED, but the present invention is not limited thereto. If necessary, the LED may be a red LED, a green LED, a blue LED, May also be included.

3, the control unit 120 includes an operation signal analyzing unit 121, an operation value extracting unit 122, a dimming control signal generating unit 123, And a storage unit 124.

The operation signal analyzing unit 121 analyzes the operation signal of the infrared remote controller.

That is, it is analyzed whether it is an operation signal according to a manual operation or an operation signal according to a situation operation button operation, and the analyzed information is provided to the operation value extraction unit.

At this time, the operation value extracting unit 122 extracts a color temperature value and an illumination value corresponding to any one of the manual operation button unit and the contextual operation button unit.

For example, in the case of the contextual operation button unit, each button has its own unique number, so that the color temperature value and illumination value corresponding to the corresponding unique number are extracted by referring to the contextual operation value storage unit.

The dimming control signal generator 123 generates a dimming control signal of the first dimming converter and a dimming control signal of the second dimming converter according to the extracted color temperature value and the illuminance value and outputs the dimming control signal to the first dimming converter and the second dimming converter .

For example, the color temperature is controlled according to the lighting ratio of the Pure LED and the Warm LED. Specifically, the color temperature is controlled according to the lighting ratio by using the Pure LED and the Warm LED.

In other words, if only the Warm LED is applied, 3000 K is produced, and when only the Pure LED is applied, 6000 K is produced.

Depending on how much the two LEDs are lit, a color temperature value between 3000 K and 6000 K is produced. If the two LEDs are half-lit, the color temperature is about 4500 K.

The lighting ratio is determined by referring to the color temperature value and the luminance value stored in the context-specific operation value storage unit 124. [

For example, the preset values stored in the context-based operation value storage unit 124 are shown in Table 1 below.

Act Livingroom
bedroom
First half 20 ~ 30s 4000 K, 150 lx 20 ~ 30s 4000 K, 150 lx More than 40 4000 K, 300 lx More than 40 4000 K, 300 lx cleaning 20 ~ 30s 5000 K, 200 lx 20 ~ 30s 5000 K, 200 lx More than 40 5000 K, 400 lx More than 40 5000 K, 400 lx Night shift 20 ~ 30s 4000 K, 2 lx 20 ~ 30s 4000 K, 2 lx More than 40 4000 K, 5 lx More than 40 4000 K, 5 lx Watch TV common 4000 K, 100 lx common 4000 K, 100 lx Sleep, rest / sleep common 4000 K, 1 lx
(3 lx or less) common 3000 K, 1 lx
(3 lx or less)

In other words, if you press more than 40 buttons, the color temperature of the lighting system will be controlled to 4000 K and the illumination will be controlled to 300 lx.

On the other hand, the control unit 120 may further include an immediately previous setting value processing unit 125. When the power is turned off by the power button unit 240, the immediately previous setting value processing unit 125 sets And stores the acquired color temperature value and illumination value in the context-specific operation value storage unit.

That is, when the user turns on the backlight after turning off the illumination, the user wants to receive the illumination with the value set just before the user turns off the lamp. Therefore, the user stores the setting data in the storage unit through the above- The lighting is turned on at a value immediately before the lighting.

On the other hand, the control unit 120 includes a group setting unit for grouping a plurality of white LEDs and a plurality of warm white LEDs, and assigning a control number to each group,

And a group-specific dimming control signal generator for generating a group-specific lighting signal or an unlit signal to provide a signal to the first dimming converter unit or the second dimming converter unit.

That is, the group setting unit groups the LEDs, assigns the grouped LEDs a management number for each group, and provides a turn-on signal and an turn-off signal for each group to quickly perform color temperature control and illumination control.

4 to 5, the infrared remote controller 200 includes a manual operation button unit 210, a random operation button unit 220, a situation-specific operation button unit 230, a power button (240).

The manual operation button unit 210 is formed to manually manipulate the color temperature value and the illuminance value, and can be composed of an up key and a down key so that the manual operation button unit 210 can be precisely adjusted.

Up to 6000K can be set up by increasing the light color (color temperature).

On the other hand, if the brightness is raised, it can be set to be adjustable up to 1000 lx from 1M distance (direct down) from the illumination, and it can be set to be adjustable from 1m distance (direct below) to at least 1 lx from the illumination. That is, the color temperature can be adjusted from a minimum of 3,000K to a maximum of 6,000K through the manual operation button unit 210, and the illuminance can be adjusted from a minimum of 1 lx to a maximum of 1,000 lx.

The situation-specific operation button unit 230 is a configuration for controlling the illumination with preset values according to the use purpose of the space, the behavior, and the user age. The state-specific operation button unit 230 includes a first button unit 231 for selecting the entirety of each age (meaning an illumination condition suitable for a typical daytime life), a second button unit 231 for selecting a nighttime movement A third button 233 for selecting an age-based cleaning (meaning a lighting condition suitable for cleaning), a second button 233 for selecting a lighting condition suitable for watching TV A fourth button portion 234 for selecting a sleep mode and a fifth button portion 235 for selecting a sleep mode and a rest mode, respectively.

On the other hand, a power button unit 240 for controlling the power of the LED lamp unit 100 to be turned on and off is configured in the remote controller.

The present invention is operated when the power switch shown in Fig. 1 is turned on. When the power switch is turned off, it is impossible to control the lighting system. The illumination system is controlled through the infrared remote controller 200 of the present invention in a state in which the power switch is turned on.

When the power button unit 240 is turned off in the unlit state, the power button unit 240 is turned on and off by pressing the power button unit 240. When the power button unit 240 is turned off, The light is on. That is, the color temperature value and the illuminance value, which are set immediately before the light is turned off by the power button unit 240, are stored and stored in the context-specific operation value storage unit, and when the light is turned on by the power button unit 240, The value illuminates the light.

When the power is turned on by the power switch, lighting is performed by default. The default value can be set by the user. The setting can be set by the user in the first half (40 or more), the first half (40 or less) , Night shift (40 cars or less), and the like.

Also, it is possible to turn on the power with the button other than the power button unit 240 in the unlit state (assuming that the power switch is in the ON state in this case). For example, if you press the random operation button in the unlit state and press the front (forty generations or more) button, the lighting is turned on with the value set in the first half (more than 40 generations).
