In addition, the monitoring controller 450 controls to transmit various control signals for controlling the driving of the image capturing apparatus 300 to the image capturing apparatus 300 through the communication unit 410.

Although not shown in the drawing, the lighting security monitoring apparatus 400 detects and analyzes a pattern of on / off flickering of an illumination signal from a captured image received from the image photographing apparatus 300 to detect sensing information of an area to be monitored, After directly extracting the illumination monitoring information including the lighting control state information or a combination thereof, it may be configured to perform monitoring of the situation around the lighting device of the specific monitoring target area based on the illumination monitoring information and the photographed image.

That is, the illumination security monitoring apparatus 400 receives only general photographed images from the image photographing apparatus 300, and detects and analyzes a pattern for on / off flickering of an illumination signal from the photographed images to include an illumination surveillance of a region to be monitored. The information is extracted directly and can be used for monitoring.

Next, an embodiment of a lighting system operating method for relaying information to a unique resource according to the present invention configured as described above will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 6. It is to be understood that each step according to the method of the present invention may be changed in order by the environment of use or a person skilled in the art.

6 is a flowchart illustrating in detail the operation of the lighting system operating method for relaying information to a unique resource according to an embodiment of the present invention.

First, at least one or more sensors 100 provided in a specific monitoring target area such as a home or an office include a change in illuminance of a corresponding area, a human body detection by a user's movement, weather information such as temperature or humidity, or a combination thereof. Various sensing information is measured (S10).

In operation S20, various kinds of sensing information measured by the sensor 100 are collected by the lighting apparatus 200 provided in the monitoring target region.

After collecting sensing information such as illuminance change, human body sensing, environmental information, etc. from the plurality of sensors 100 through the step S20, the lighting apparatus 200 has dimming control or emotional lighting control based on the collected sensing information. It is determined whether it is necessary, and according to the determination result performs dimming control or emotional lighting control (S30).

That is, the lighting device 200 is a dimming control for adjusting the intensity of light based on the surrounding situation or environment information collected from the sensor 100 or the sensitivity for adjusting the color or color temperature of the light according to the user's emotional state It is to perform lighting control. In this case, in the case of the emotional lighting control performed in step S30, the lighting device 200 applies various sensing information collected from the sensor 100 to a preset emotion change prediction model to change a user's emotion pattern. After confirming that, emotional lighting control can be performed according to the identified emotional change pattern.

Meanwhile, in the process of performing dimming control or emotional lighting control of lighting based on various sensing information, the lighting device 200 collects sensing information collected from the sensor 100, dimming state of the lighting or emotional lighting. After converting lighting monitoring information including lighting control state information related to the state or a combination thereof into data according to the visible light communication method, the converted lighting monitoring information is transmitted to the outside through visible light communication (S40). In other words, by using a light source that is a uniquely owned resource, lighting monitoring information including sensing information and lighting control state information is transmitted through the light source.

Then, the image photographing apparatus 300 positioned near the illumination apparatus 200 captures an image including the illumination monitoring information (S50).

Thereafter, the image capturing apparatus 300 checks the pattern information on the on / off flickering of the light from the image photographing the monitoring target area (S60), and the pattern information on the illumination monitoring information together with the photographed image through the network. It transmits to the security monitoring device 400 (S70). In this case, the pattern information on the on-off blinking of the light checked from the photographed image by the image capturing apparatus 300 is not information on a specific data amount or value of the sensing information or lighting control state information, but merely on the on-off blinking. Since the pulse information, the image photographing apparatus 300 does not generate any load due to data processing.

When transmitting the pattern information and the captured image for the illumination monitoring information in the image capture device 300 through the step S70, the illumination security monitoring device 400 from the photographed image provided from the image capture device 300 The lighting apparatus 200 additionally checks the illumination monitoring information transmitted in visible light communication (S80).

That is, the lighting security monitoring apparatus 400 analyzes the pattern information provided from the image capturing apparatus 300 and specifically checks lighting monitoring information including sensing information, lighting control state information, or a combination of the monitoring target regions. In addition, the monitoring of the area is performed by using the illumination monitoring information and the captured image together.

In addition, the lighting security monitoring device 400 monitors the situation around the lighting device based on the lighting monitoring information and the captured image extracted in step S80, and provides the monitoring result to the user or administrator (S90).

As described above, the present invention, when the lighting device transmits the light control information such as the light control status information, the sensing information collected from each sensor through the visible light communication, and shoots it in the image recording device, the image recording device in the remote light security monitoring device Since the lighting monitoring information is checked from the video taken by the user, the flashing state of the light, dimming and emotional lighting state, human body detection information, environmental information about temperature or humidity, etc., using existing CCTV or IP camera are installed. Various lighting monitoring information can be easily obtained, and the lighting monitoring information can be additionally utilized with the security monitoring along with the image taken by the camera, and thus the situation around the lighting apparatus can be monitored more closely.

In addition, by using the unique resources possessed by the lighting device and the image photographing device, the transmission and reception of the light monitoring information, and using the light monitoring information in conjunction with the captured video for security monitoring services, without having to introduce a variety of expensive equipment Data can be used for security surveillance service, security surveillance system can be operated at low cost, and unlike the existing security surveillance service that was performed by simply shooting video, it greatly increases the accuracy and efficiency of security surveillance through the use of lighting surveillance information. You can.

Although the present invention has been described with reference to the embodiments illustrated in the drawings, this is merely exemplary, and various modifications and equivalent other embodiments are possible for those skilled in the art to which the art pertains.
