Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the smart lighting control method according to the present invention will be described in detail.

In the smart lighting control method of the present invention, a smart watch and a smart light bulb are used. The smart watch uses a product having a circular or annular bezel capable of implementing a wheel interface (rotary type encoder), for example, Samsung Gear S2. Can be. Here, the communication system uses wireless Internet as a model using Bluetooth without 3G. The Bluetooth version is 4.1, and the wireless LAN is connected using 802.11 b / g / n 2.4GHz. Here, the smart watch applied as an embodiment of the present invention is a Tizen operating system of a gear S2 having a circular bezel. It is developed based on the Web Application Platform and uses the Tizen Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for development tools. SDK version is developed using 2.4.0 Rev4.

The smart light bulb has an LED lamp (light bulb), a control unit for controlling the LED lamp, and a communication unit, and the basic specifications of the LED lamp are E26 base, A19 size, and 15,000 hours life. Its brightness is 600lm at 6500K, 600lm at 4000K, 510lm at 3000K, and 360lm at 2000K. It is desirable to express 2000K ~ 6500K color temperature and 16 million colors.

A wireless communication interface device connecting a smart watch and a smart light bulb, for example, a bridge may be used. The frequency band ranges from 2400 to 2483.5 MHz, and multiple lamps can be controlled by a single bridge.

1 is a schematic system configuration diagram of a smart lighting control system in which a lighting control method according to the present invention is implemented, and FIG. 2 is a diagram schematically illustrating control of a smart light bulb 30 by a smart watch.

As shown in Figure 1, the smart lighting control system may be composed of a wearable smart watch 10 and one or more smart light bulbs 30 and a bridge 20 between them, as shown in the rain. In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the bridge 20 may be connected to a separate authentication server 40 for maintaining access security to the smart light bulb 30. The authentication server 40 may obtain authentication information including a security ID and IP for controlling lighting properties of the smart light bulb 30 through communication with the bridge 20. The bridge 20 may be provided with a link button 21 to allow smart connection.

As shown in FIG. 2, when the IP and ID are requested using the panel interface of the smart watch 10, the ID and IP obtained from the authentication server 40 are provided to the smart watch 10. Then, the smart watch 10 selects the properties of the lighting, such as power, saturation, brightness, color temperature, etc., to be adjusted, and then passes through the bridge 20, and the bridge 20 transmits it to the smart light bulb. The smart light bulb 30 receiving the command performs the command and transmits the result (complete / error) to the smart watch 10 through the bridge 20. The smart watch 10 accesses the smart light bulb 30 using the security ID and IP, and through this, the lighting state (property) of the smart light bulb 30 can be controlled with desired properties.

3.3 Wearable device system

There is also a smart watch having a square screen, but the present invention was designed based on a smart watch 10 having a rotatable circular bezel 11 as shown in FIG. 3. As a background of the touch panel 12 of the smart watch 10, a color spectrum may be arranged in a circle according to a value to which a color tone is adjusted. Selection menus such as brightness, saturation, and color temperature of the smart lamp may be located inside the touch panel 12.

After connecting the smart light bulb and rotating the circular bezel 11 to the right for lighting control, for example, the color tone of the smart light bulb 30 may be changed. At this time, the number of steps may be made, for example, in 24 steps. The color range can be adjusted within the range of 0 to 65535. In addition, a menu item such as color temperature, brightness, and saturation may be displayed on the touch panel (screen) of the smart watch 10, and when one of these is selected, the circular bezel 11 is rotated to the left. When the property to be changed can be changed. Before selection, a specific item may be set to change, for example, saturation. That is, if there is no other property selection after connecting with the smart light bulb 10, the saturation of the smart light bulb 10 changes immediately when the circular bezel 11 is rotated to the left. All three properties of saturation, brightness, and color temperature may be set to increase by a predetermined value, for example, 1 for each property value when the circular bezel 11 is rotated. In addition, the saturation value can be adjusted within a range of 0 to 254, a color temperature value of 2000 to 6500K, and a brightness value of 1 to 254.

Hereinafter, FIG. 4 is a flowchart of a specific smart lighting control method according to the present invention, and FIG. 5 is a view for explaining the operation of the actual smart watch 10 in relation to each step of FIG. 4. Hereinafter, a connection method and operation of the smart watch and the smart light bulb according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5.

First, an operation by the smart watch 10 will be described first with reference to FIG. 5.

Using the smart phone 10, the IP and the bridge security ID are requested and obtained (A), and then the rough property control and control (20) are performed (B). Following the control of the smart light bulb, if the sensitivity is selected according to the user's selection (C), the ID, nickname, and time information of the separately extracted user are extracted (D) and finally databased through information profiling (E). . In this process, a connection button may be provided to allow the connection to the bridge, and when the button is pressed, the smart watch can search for it and make the connection possible. An example of such a method is the Brutus connection method.

Referring to FIG. 4, the smart watch 10 accesses the authentication server 40 through the bridge 30 and extracts the IP connected to the smart light bulb 30 (S41). At this time, as can be understood through the description of FIG. 1, since the smart watch 10 and the smart light bulb 30 cannot directly communicate, the bridge 20 between the smart watch 10 and the smart light bulb 30 is Used as a communication repeater. The smart watch 10 and the bridge 20 communicate with each other using an HTTP protocol.

First, in order to control the smart lamp 30, it is necessary to know the ID of the bridge 20. To this end, a security ID that allows the authentication server 20 to communicate with the smart lamp 30 using the connected IP address is extracted (S42).

After securing the IP and ID in this way, the control properties and speed adjustment values selected from the smart watch 10 are transmitted to the bridge 20 (command, S44) to control lighting properties such as brightness, saturation, color temperature, etc. S45), and also read the current state of the smart light bulb (30). Meanwhile, according to the present invention, a process for profiling a user's personal emotion information (S48) may be separately performed. In this case, when the user selects the individual emotion or state through the touch panel of the smart watch 10 (S46), the user's ID, nickname, and time information are extracted separately (S47) and the personal emotion information profile (S48). To save. In the emotion information profile (S38), the user's ID, nickname, time information, and the like, along with the attribute of the lighting selected in step S43, may be stored in the form of a database.

Hereinafter, a method for controlling a smart light bulb will be described in detail.

As described above, in order to control the smart light bulb 30, the extracted IP and ID are used to communicate with the authentication server 40 through the bridge 20. At this time, using the PUT method of the HTTP protocol, a command is sent to the power source, color tone, brightness, etc. of the light bulb in JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) format. And you can use the GET method to know the current state of the bulb.

<Code 1> Below is an example of the source code of the GET method (method or function) for checking the status of the smart light bulb 30.

<Code 1>

 Here, when the smart watch and the smart light bulb are connected, for example, when the circular bezel 11 is rotated to the right, the hue of the lighting is changed, and when it is rotated to the left, the saturation can be changed. In addition, if the attribute is changed in the list displayed on the touch panel of the smart watch 10, brightness and color temperature may also be controlled by a wheel interface.

<Code 2> below is the source code that detects the change in the attribute value due to the rotation of the circular bezel in the smart watch 10, and changes the attribute value according to the selected value when changing the color tone in the clockwise rotation and the counterclockwise rotation. Here, in the above source code, the function CT_CHANGE () is a thermal temperature change function, BRI_CHANGE () is a luminance change function, and SAT_CHANGE () is a saturation change function.

As described above, the touch panel of the smart watch used to change the properties of the smart light bulb has the edge of the circular touch panel so that the user can predict how much the light is for each property before changing when changing the properties of the light. Two status bars can be created and placed on the part. When changing the saturation, brightness, and color temperature, the status bar inside changes the value each time the wheel is rotated, and the status bar on the outside shows the color of the corresponding hue.

<Code 3>

The code 3 above illustrates the source code for the color temperature change function.

Meanwhile, the personal emotion information profile includes a user's ID, time information, location information, lighting attributes, and emotion information. The user's ID is first created as the device's unique ID, and the user can add it by setting a nickname. Attributes of lighting store hue, saturation, color temperature, and brightness values in the session storage when the user controls the lighting. Then, when the user selects emotion when he wants to save the emotion information profile, the most recent lighting attribute value is obtained from the session storage again. Extract date and time information using a Date object, extract latitude and longitude using GPS from a smart phone connected to a smart watch using Bluetooth (Samsung Accessory Protocol), and use the obtained latitude and longitude Get the address In addition, the latitude, longitude, and address can be sent back to the smart watch using SAP to manage data using the indexed database in the smart watch.

In order to store personal information using an indexed database, the information you want to store is organized in JSON format. Then, a key path and an object store are generated and JSON-processed data is added. And when the information of the personal information profile is needed, the values of other keys of the corresponding index can be obtained using the value of the designated key path.

In the case of the existing lighting control using a smartphone, if you want to control other properties after selecting a hue, other properties such as saturation and brightness must be selected again in another property control window. Because of the use of such an interface, it is not easy to create a desired light at once, and when an unwanted light appears, a cumbersome interface process is required to select multiple properties such as hue and saturation in order to select the light. However, if the lighting is controlled by the smart watch using the wheel interface, the saturation can be simultaneously controlled while determining the hue. If the lighting is not desired, the desired lighting can be easily and easily controlled by simply changing the direction of the wheel interface. . In addition, since the color of the currently selected light is known through the color of the status bar to which the color of the currently selected light is transmitted before the value is transmitted to the light in the color tone control, the user does not need to control the light and adjust it again because it is not the desired color. In addition, when adjusting the saturation, brightness, and color temperature, not hue, the percentage is shown in the status bar so that the user can predict how much light will appear, so the user can adjust the desired level. The downside is that in the normal wheel interface, right and left rotation do not control the other property values, but control the increase or decrease in the same property values.

In the case of the wheel interface proposed by the present invention, since the right and left rotations of the wheel interface control different property values, as shown in FIG. 5, in order to decrease the property value, the wheel interface is not rotated to the opposite side, but instead of the property. After increasing the value to 100%, return to 0% and increase again to the desired value. For users new to these controls, usage can be confusing. To further control the properties of the lighting, you can make each property value increase by 1 for each rotation when the user rotates the wheel. However, because the total value of the attribute value is greater than 100, the percentage value displayed in the status bar does not increase even if the attribute value increases. Therefore, when the user controls the wheel interface, the property value is changing, but the percentage value of the status bar does not move, which can cause confusion. Also, when the user controls the property values in the process of adjusting the value, the user cannot see the specific value and must visually guess the value because the value that the user can see is not the property value but only the status bar. I can do it. Also, because there is a background task that adjusts and redisplays the color or percentage value of the status bar each time the wheel interface is operated, operating the wheel interface several steps at a time may cause the smart watch to stop working and stop working.

It is exemplified that the selected item can be changed by pushing (swiping) up or down the interface screen with a finger on such a screen.

5.2 Conclusion

In the present invention, a system for controlling lighting with a wheel interface using a circular bezel was developed. It was implemented to control the hue, saturation, brightness, and color temperature of lighting with a simple operation of rotating the circular bezel in a way that complements the limitations of the smart watch's small display screen and improves user usability. In addition, to profile the user's emotion information, the user's emotion, location, time, and lighting attribute values are stored using a database to create the user's emotion profile. Since the smart watch is always worn on the wrist by the user, there is no need to carry or prepare it to control the light, and since the wheel interface is used, the user does not need much motion to control the light and a simple rotating interface It is a system that has the advantage of allowing users to adjust the lighting in detail by using. And it does not end in the lighting control, but uses the user's time and location information to profile the user's emotion information by combining the emotion selected by the user. In this study, it was finished at the stage of storing the emotion information, but it can be used to recommend the lighting attribute value to the user or to induce the user's emotion state to be changed using the profiled information.
