A step 0.2 in which the shape information is determined according to a selection object selected by a user among the plurality of selection objects;
A 0.3 step in which a color table is additionally displayed on the display unit of the terminal;
A 0.4 step in which the color of the selected selection object is determined using the color table; And
Further comprising; 0.5 step of determining the color information according to the determined color of the selected object;

The lighting device is a plurality,
A first coupling member is provided at one end of each of the plurality of lighting devices, and a second coupling member corresponding to the first coupling member is provided at the other end,
The first coupling member of the first lighting device among the plurality of lighting devices is coupled to the second coupling member of the second lighting device among the plurality of lighting devices, so that the first lighting device and the second lighting device are connectable,

The first information,
Group emission pattern information including the emission shape and emission color associated with the first illumination device interconnected through the first coupling member and the second coupling member among the plurality of lighting devices and time information to which the group emission pattern is applied More included,

When the group light emission pattern is plural,
The first lighting device is output according to a first group emission pattern among the plurality of group emission patterns,
When a predetermined first time elapses, the first lighting device is output according to a second group emission pattern different from the first group emission pattern among the plurality of group emission patterns,

After the second step,
And a third step in which light emitted from the first RGB LED is extended and transmitted to the outside based on at least one polygonal surface disposed on the surface of the outer housing of the lighting device by induced scattering or reflection. Control method of a lighting device, characterized in that.
The method of claim 11,
The shape information includes at least one of text and images,
The size of the shape information is a control method of a lighting device, characterized in that can be changed over time. delete delete delete The method of claim 11,
Between the second step and the third step,
A 2-1 step in which the lighting device establishes a network with at least one other lighting device in the vicinity; And
And 2-2 steps of transmitting the first information to the lighting device having built the network.
The method of claim 11,
Between the second step and the third step,
Step 2-3 of receiving an emergency event occurrence from the terminal; And
And 2-4 steps of emitting the plurality of RGB LEDs according to a preset pattern for notifying the structure to the outside.
