2 is a flowchart of an embodiment for describing a method of an electronic device for setting a lighting device according to the present invention.

It is determined whether to detect a setting mode request for the lighting device (S100). It is determined whether the user or the administrator requests a setting mode for the lighting device through the user interface unit. Whether the setting mode request for the lighting device is determined is determined at regular intervals. If the setting mode request is not detected as a result of the determination, the determination of the setting mode request is continuously repeated.

If a request for a setting mode for the lighting device is detected, a control signal corresponding to each of the at least one lighting device is transmitted to each of the lighting devices (S102).

When detecting the request for the setting mode for the lighting device, the control signal is transmitted to control the blinking (on / off) for each of the lighting devices in the predetermined area according to the control signal. Here, the predetermined area may be an area including a living room, a kitchen, a large room, a small room, or an area including all of these areas in the home, or may include all of these areas or areas separated from each other in the office.

The control signal corresponds to a control signal in which each lighting device has a unique flickering light or lighting brightness. The type of control signal includes a blinking frequency, a blinking duty cycle, or binary data for controlling the blinking of the lighting device. Thus, the control signal has different flashing frequency, flashing duty cycle or flashing binary data for each lighting device, and this control signal is transmitted to each lighting device.

After operation S102, image information of each of the lighting devices controlled according to the control signal is detected (S104).

3 is a flowchart of an exemplary embodiment for explaining an operation of detecting image information of the lighting apparatus illustrated in FIG. 2.

Photographing the lighting device blinking for a predetermined time in accordance with the control signal (S200). 4 is a reference diagram illustrating an image of photographing a plurality of lighting devices for a certain area. As shown in FIG. 4, the image is photographed for a predetermined time with respect to a lighting device whose respective flashing frequencies correspond to 10 [Hz], 15 [Hz], and 20 [Hz]. At this time, the camera is photographed so as to be included on one screen for each lighting device, and each of the lighting devices can be distinguished by minimizing the exposure of the camera.

In addition, when shooting with respect to each of the lighting equipment, it may be taken sequentially for a predetermined time. That is, instead of capturing a fixed direction with respect to a certain area, lighting apparatuses may be sequentially photographed for a predetermined time as if a panoramic image is photographed.

After operation S200, the photographing area of the captured image is adjusted (S202). The size of the area where the image is captured is enlarged or reduced using the screen size adjusting module or the area selection module is used to select a certain area of the captured image. However, step S202 is not necessarily a step to be performed necessarily, and if necessary, the step S204 may be performed after the step S200.

After operation S202, an image in which the photographing area is adjusted is sampled (S204). Samples taken for a certain time are sampled at a constant sampling time. In particular, when the sampling frequency is not secured at the time of sampling, an equivalent time sampling technique, that is, a method of delaying the sampling period for the photographed image by a predetermined interval is used.

FIG. 5 is an exemplary reference diagram for describing sampling using an equivalent time sampling technique. While the signal continues to repeat, the samples are collected at regular time intervals to form a waveform. In repeated signals, a waveform of one period is synthesized from samples obtained by changing time axis values. In other words, a repeating signal is sampled by accumulating a constant delay time in a sampling period. Equivalent time sampling is used when sampling a signal that repeats relatively faster than the sampling period.

After the step S204, the sampled video information is encoded (S206). As a method of encoding and extracting image information, a method of tracking a state of a point having high brightness in an image recognized as a light source or a method of extracting a difference image of a before and after image of an image photographed at a predetermined period is used. That is, the encoding of the sampled image information encodes the image information by using the image information corresponding to the difference of the sampled image information.

Extracting image information will be described with reference to Table 1 below.

frame 0 One 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Lights 1 ON OFF ON OFF ON OFF ON OFF ON OFF Lights 2 ON ON OFF OFF ON ON OFF OFF ON ON

It is assumed that two light sources are found as a result of extracting the light source from the image of each frame, and the state of the light source is shown in Table 1. According to Table 1, when the illumination is turned on / off to indicate a frequency and the image is captured at 10 frames, the time interval between the frames is 1 [s] / 0 [frame] = 0.1 [s]. Therefore, it can be seen that illumination 1 operates at 5 [Hz] as a signal of 0.2 [s], and illumination 2 operates at 2.5 [Hz] as a signal of 0.4 [s].

After the step S104, it is determined whether the detected image information matches the control signal of each of the lighting devices (S106). A process of matching the encoded image information and the control signal will be described with reference to FIG. 4. For example, through encoding of image information of the lighting apparatuses of FIG. 4, it may be confirmed that the flashing frequencies correspond to the lighting apparatuses corresponding to 10 [Hz], 15 [Hz], and 20 [Hz] for each of the lighting apparatuses. . Therefore, by encoding the video information, the blinking frequencies 10 [Hz], 15 [Hz], and 20 [Hz] corresponding to the video information of each lighting device are checked to match the control signals corresponding to the corresponding blinking frequencies. Can be.

After the step S106, the lighting device in which the control signal and the image information among the lighting devices match is set as a group (S108). For example, as shown in FIG. 4, three lighting devices having blinking frequencies of 10 [Hz], 15 [Hz], and 20 [Hz] are included in one image information. Set the included luminaires to the same group. Here, the same group enables the grouping of the lighting devices intuitively and efficiently in that unlike the group set by the conventional user input, the lighting devices included in the captured image can be set to the same group.

After the step S108, the group setting information for the lighting device, the group is set (S110). For example, as shown in Figure 4, if the three lighting devices having the flashing frequency 10 [Hz], 15 [Hz], 20 [Hz] is set to the same group, it is included in the group as group setting information Identification information of each lighting device and group identification information corresponding thereto are displayed.

After the step S110, the group setting for the lighting device included in the group setting information is corrected (S112). As the group setting information, some or all of the lighting devices are deleted or added by the user's selection among the lighting devices belonging to the group.

6 is a flowchart of another embodiment for explaining a method of an electronic device for setting a lighting device according to the present invention.

It is determined whether to detect the setting mode request for the lighting device (S300). It is determined whether the user or the administrator requests a setting mode for the lighting device through the user interface unit. Whether the setting mode request for the lighting device is determined is determined at regular intervals. If the setting mode request is not detected as a result of the determination, the determination of the setting mode request is continuously repeated.

If it is detected that the request for the setting mode for the lighting device, and transmits a control signal corresponding to each of the at least one lighting device to each of the lighting device (S302). When detecting the request for the setting mode for the lighting device, the control signal is transmitted to control the blinking (on / off) for each of the lighting devices in the predetermined area according to the control signal. The control signal corresponds to a control signal in which each lighting device has a unique flickering light or lighting brightness. The type of control signal includes a blinking frequency, a blinking duty cycle, or binary data for controlling the blinking of the lighting device. Thus, the control signal has different flashing frequency, flashing duty cycle or flashing binary data for each lighting device, and this control signal is transmitted to each lighting device.

After operation S302, illuminance information of each of the lighting devices controlled according to the control signal is detected (S304).

FIG. 7 is a flowchart of an exemplary embodiment for explaining an operation of detecting illuminance information for the lighting apparatus illustrated in FIG. 6.

The illuminance of the lighting devices blinking according to the control signal is measured for a predetermined time (S400). Illuminance of a certain area of the lighting equipment is measured using an illumination sensor.

After the step S400, the measured roughness is sampled (S402). For illuminance measured during a certain period of time, sampling is performed at a constant sampling time. In particular, when a sampling frequency is not secured at the time of sampling, an equivalent time sampling technique, that is, a method of sampling by delaying a sampling period for the measured illuminance by a predetermined interval is used. That is, when the frequency of the on / off control (duty, binary, etc.) of the lighting device is relatively larger, the same time sampling technique is used.

After the step S402, the sampled illuminance information is converted into the frequency domain (S404). The sampled illuminance information corresponds to the synthesized illuminance information for the plurality of lighting devices. Therefore, in order to distinguish a light source for each lighting device from the synthesized illuminance of the plurality of lighting devices, it is necessary to convert to the frequency domain.

8 is an exemplary reference diagram for explaining that sampled illuminance information is converted into a frequency domain. For example, as shown in Fig. 8, by converting the sampled illuminance information into the frequency domain, illuminance information is obtained by three lighting devices having flashing frequencies of 10 [Hz], 15 [Hz], and 20 [Hz]. You can see that it is configured.

After the step S404, the illuminance information converted into the frequency domain is encoded (S406). When the sampled signal is converted into frequency domain, the frequency and amplitude included in the signal are extracted and encoded.

After the step S304, it is determined whether the detected illuminance information matches the control signal of each of the lighting devices (S306). For example, through encoding of illuminance information of the lighting devices, it may be confirmed that the blinking frequencies of the lighting devices correspond to 10 [Hz], 15 [Hz], and 20 [Hz]. Therefore, through the encoding of the illumination information, the blinking frequencies 10 [Hz], 15 [Hz], and 20 [Hz] corresponding to the illuminance information of each lighting device are checked to match control signals corresponding to the corresponding blinking frequencies. Can be.

After the step S306, the lighting device to which the control signal and the illumination information match among the lighting devices is set to a zone corresponding to the degree of illuminance influence (S308). Setting a zone corresponding to the degree of illuminance influence of the lighting device means recognizing the area where the illuminance is measured and matching and setting the lighting device having a major influence on the illuminance in such area.

To this end, by comparing the amplitude of the frequency domain of the illuminance information with a threshold value, it is determined whether or not the influence of the lighting device, and if the threshold value or more, determine the degree of illuminance influence of the lighting device, included in the threshold value or more. The same zone is set for the lighting device to be used. For example, as shown in FIG. 8, when illuminance information for three lighting devices having blinking frequencies of 10 [Hz], 15 [Hz], and 20 [Hz] exists, amplitudes of these illuminance information are present. Is compared with a threshold value, and for a lighting device having a blinking frequency of 15 [Hz] that is equal to or lower than the threshold, it is determined that the lighting device has no influence in the corresponding area, that is, the zone, and the blinking frequency that is greater than the threshold 10 For luminaires with [Hz] and 20 [Hz], set the luminaire to be influential in the zone.

After the step S308, the zone setting information for the lighting device in which the zone is set is displayed (S310). For example, if three lighting devices having the flashing frequencies 10 [Hz], 15 [Hz], and 20 [Hz] are set to the same zone, identification information of each lighting device included in the zone as zone setting information and Zone identification information corresponding thereto is displayed.

After the step S310, the zone setting for the lighting device included in the zone setting information is corrected (S112). As the zone setting information, some or all of the lighting devices are deleted or added according to a user's selection among the lighting devices belonging to the zone.

FIG. 9 is a block diagram illustrating an electronic device for setting a lighting device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, and includes a user interface 500, a processor 510, a communication interface 520, and an image detector 530. And a memory 540 and the like.

The user interface 500 detects a setting mode request for the lighting device, and transmits the detected result to the processor 510. To this end, the user interface unit 500 displays a dialog for receiving a setting mode request from the user, and detects whether the setting mode is requested for the lighting device of the user from the information input through the dialog.

When receiving the detection result of the setting mode request from the user interface 500, the processor 510 controls to transmit a control signal corresponding to each of the at least one lighting device to each lighting device.

The processor 510 provides the lighting devices 20 with a unique control signal for each lighting device to be identified with each other, instructing the lighting devices to be in a blinking operation according to the control signal. The processor 510 instructs the lighting devices 20 to blink using a control signal of any one of a blinking frequency, a blinking duty cycle, and a blinking binary data. That is, the processor 510 instructs each lighting device to be turned on / off by varying a blinking frequency, or instructs each lighting device to be turned on / off by varying a blinking duty cycle, or for each lighting device. Flashing Instructs to turn on / off binary data differently.

The communication interface 520 transmits the control signal to each of the lighting devices under the control of the processor 510. The control signal is transmitted to the lighting devices 20 via wired or wireless network 30, respectively. Accordingly, each of the lighting devices 20 turns on / off the lighting according to the corresponding blinking frequency, blinking duty cycle or blinking binary data.

When each lighting device blinks according to a unique control signal, the image detection unit 530 detects image information of the lighting device, and transmits the detected result to the processor 510.

FIG. 10 is a block diagram illustrating an image detector illustrated in FIG. 9, and includes an image capturing module 600, an image editing module 610, an image sampling module 620, and an image encoding module 630. do.

The image capturing module 600 photographs a lighting device blinking according to a control signal for a predetermined time and transmits the photographed result to the image editing module 610. As shown in FIG. 4, the image capturing module 600 captures an image for a predetermined time with respect to a lighting device having a blinking frequency of 10 [Hz], 15 [Hz], and 20 [Hz]. In this case, the image capturing module 600 photographs each lighting device to be included on one screen, and minimizes the exposure of the camera when photographing, so that each of the lighting devices can be distinguished.

In addition, the image capturing module 600 may photograph sequentially for a predetermined time when photographing each lighting device. That is, the image capturing module 600 sequentially photographs the lighting apparatuses for a predetermined time by using the photographing technique.

The image editing module 610 adjusts a photographing area of the photographed image and transmits the image of which the photographing area is adjusted to the image sampling module 620. The image editing module 610 enlarges or reduces the size of the region in which the image is captured by using a screen size adjusting module (not shown) or selects a predetermined region of the image captured by the region selection module (not shown).

The image sampling module 620 samples the photographed image and transmits the sampled image information to the image encoding module 630. The image sampling module 620 samples a predetermined sampling time with respect to an image photographed for a predetermined time. When the sampling frequency is not secured at the time of sampling, the image sampling module 620 delays an equivalent time sampling technique, that is, a sampling period for the captured image by a predetermined interval. Equivalent time sampling is used when sampling relatively fast repeating signals.

The image encoding module 630 encodes the sampled image information and transmits the encoded result to the processor 510. The image encoding module 630 encodes image information by using image information corresponding to the difference of the sampled image information.

The processor 510 determines whether the detected image information matches a control signal of each lighting device, and sets a lighting device in which the control signal and the image information match among the lighting devices as a group. For example, the processor 510 checks the identification information 10 [Hz], 15 [Hz], and 20 [Hz] of each lighting device identified through the encoding of the image information, and then checks the identified blinking frequency with the control signal. Match

Thereafter, the processor 510 sets a group for the lighting device corresponding to the image information by using the image information matched with the control signal. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, if three lighting devices having blinking frequencies of 10 [Hz], 15 [Hz], and 20 [Hz] are included in one image information, the processor 510 may perform this method. Lighting devices included in one piece of image information are set in the same group.

Meanwhile, the processor 510 may have program information necessary for the above-described operation itself or may be stored in the memory 540. The memory 540 includes program information for controlling to transmit a control signal corresponding to each of at least one lighting device to each of the lighting devices, and program information for detecting image information of each of the lighting devices controlled according to the control signal. Program information for determining whether the detected image information matches the control signal of each of the lighting devices, and a program for setting a lighting device to which the control signal and the image information match among the lighting devices as a group. Information is stored. The memory 540 also stores group setting information.

After setting the group, the user interface 500 displays the group setting information for the lighting apparatus in which the group is set. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 4, the user interface unit 500 may set a group if three lighting devices having blinking frequencies of 10 [Hz], 15 [Hz], and 20 [Hz] are set to the same group. As the information, identification information of each lighting device included in the group and group identification information corresponding thereto are displayed.

In addition, the user interface 500 modifies the group setting for the lighting device included in the group setting information. According to the user's selection, the user interface unit 500 deletes or adds some or all of the lighting devices selected by the user among the lighting devices belonging to the group as the group setting information.

FIG. 11 is a block diagram of another embodiment for describing an electronic device for setting a lighting apparatus according to the present invention, and includes a user interface 700, a processor 710, a communication interface 720, and an illuminance detector 730. ), A memory 740, and the like.

The user interface 700 detects a setting mode request for the lighting device, and transmits the detected result to the processor 710. To this end, the user interface 700 displays a dialog for receiving a setting mode request from the user, and detects whether the setting mode is requested for the lighting device of the user from the information input through the dialog.

When receiving the detection result of the setting mode request from the user interface unit 700, the processor 710 controls to transmit a control signal corresponding to each of the at least one lighting device to each lighting device.

The processor 710 provides the lighting devices 20 with a unique control signal for each lighting device to be identified with each other, instructing the lighting devices to be in blinking operation according to the control signal. The processor 710 instructs the lighting devices 20 to blink using a control signal of any one of a blinking frequency, a blinking duty cycle, and a blinking binary data.

The communication interface 720 transmits the control signal to each of the lighting devices under the control of the processor 710. The control signal is transmitted to the lighting devices 20 via wired or wireless network 30, respectively. Accordingly, each of the lighting devices 20 turns on / off the lighting according to the corresponding blinking frequency, blinking duty cycle or blinking binary data.

The illuminance detector 730 detects illuminance information of the illuminator when each illuminator is blinking according to a unique control signal, and transmits the detected result to the processor 710.

FIG. 12 is a block diagram illustrating an exemplary illuminance detector illustrated in FIG. 11, and includes an illuminance measuring module 800, an illuminance sampling module 810, an information conversion module 820, and an illuminance encoding module 830. do.

The illuminance measuring module 800 measures illuminance for a lighting device blinking according to a control signal for a predetermined time, and transmits the measured result to the illuminance sampling module 810. To this end, the illuminance measurement module 800 is provided with an illuminance sensor (not shown).

The illuminance sampling module 810 samples the measured illuminance and transmits the sampled illuminance information to the information conversion module 820. The illuminance sampling module 810 samples a predetermined sampling time with respect to the illuminance measured for a predetermined time. If the sampling frequency is not secured at the time of sampling, the illuminance sampling module 810 delays an equivalent time sampling technique, that is, a sampling period for the captured image by a predetermined interval. Equivalent time sampling is used when sampling relatively fast repeating signals.

The information conversion module 820 converts the sampled illuminance information into the frequency domain, and transmits the converted result to the illuminance encoding module 830. The sampled illuminance information corresponds to the synthesized illuminance information for the plurality of lighting devices. Therefore, in order to distinguish a light source for each lighting device from the synthesized illuminance of the plurality of lighting devices, it is necessary to convert the frequency domain. As shown in FIG. 8, by converting the illuminance information sampled by the information conversion module 820 into the frequency domain, the three lighting apparatuses having flashing frequencies of 10 [Hz], 15 [Hz], and 20 [Hz] are used. It can be confirmed that the illumination information is configured.

The illuminance encoding module 830 encodes the illuminance information converted into the frequency domain, and transmits the encoded result to the processor 710.

The processor 710 determines whether the detected illuminance information matches the control signal of each of the lighting devices, and sets the lighting device to which the control signal and the illumination information match among the lighting devices as Zone. For example, the processor 710 checks the identification information 10 [Hz], 15 [Hz], and 20 [Hz] of each lighting device identified through the encoding of illuminance information, thereby determining the identified blinking frequency with the control signal. Match

Thereafter, the processor 710 sets a zone for the lighting device corresponding to the illumination information by using the illumination information matched with the control signal. The processor 710 compares the amplitude of the frequency domain of the illuminance information with a threshold value to determine the degree of illuminance influence and sets the same zone for the lighting device included in the threshold value or more. For example, as shown in FIG. 8, when there is illuminance information for three lighting devices having blinking frequencies of 10 [Hz], 15 [Hz], and 20 [Hz], the processor 710 may be configured. By comparing the amplitude of the illuminance information with a threshold value, a lighting device having a blinking frequency of 15 [Hz] corresponding to the threshold value or less is determined as a lighting device having no influence in the corresponding area, that is, the zone. For luminaires with greater flashing frequencies 10 [Hz] and 20 [Hz], set the luminaire to be influential in the zone.

On the other hand, the processor 710 may have its own program information necessary for the above-described operation, or may be stored in the memory 740. The memory 740 may include program information for controlling to transmit a control signal corresponding to each of at least one lighting device to each of the lighting devices, and program information for detecting illumination information of each of the lighting devices controlled according to the control signal. Program information for determining whether the detected illuminance information matches the control signal of each of the lighting devices, program information for setting the lighting device to which the control signal and the illuminance information match among the lighting devices as a zone, and the like. Saving. The memory 740 also stores zone setting information.

After setting the zone, the user interface unit 700 displays zone setting information for the lighting device in which the zone is set.
