FIG. 1 is a view showing a control system (hereinafter referred to as a control system) of a control target apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 2A to 4 are views showing various examples in which the control system shown in FIG. And FIG. 6 is a view for explaining an operation of controlling illumination using the user terminal of FIG.

1, a control system 90 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a user terminal device 100, a communication network 110, a control device 120, a part of a plurality of controlled devices 130, Includes all.

Here, including some or all of them may be configured such that some components such as the sensing unit 130a are omitted, or that some components such as the control device 120 are not limited to hardware and software, Or may be integrated with other components such as the control target device 130, and the like. For example, when the user terminal device 100 performs the function of the control device 120, the user terminal device 100 can directly control the plurality of control target devices 130. It is to be understood, however, that they are included in their entirety in order to facilitate a thorough understanding of the invention.

The control target device 130 means various devices that can be controlled by the control device 120. [ The control target device 130 may be various types of devices depending on the environment in which the control system 90 is installed or the nature of the control system 90. [ For example, when the control system 90 is installed in an environment such as a home or an office, the control target device 130 may be various devices used in the environment, such as various lighting devices, air conditioning and heating appliances, home appliances, blinds, have.

Prior to the detailed description, the control system 90 according to the embodiment of the present invention not only includes a lighting system, but also includes a system 90A for automatically calculating a ratio (or magnification) A sound control system 90B as in FIG. 2B, a system 90C for controlling the overall temperature in the house as in FIG. 2C, and a blind control system 90D as in FIG. 2D.

In these systems, the embodiment of the present invention collectively controls the control target devices, such as an electronic device or a sound device, to which the group is set according to the ratio of the adjustment value adjusted by the user. In other words, when the user individually controls the setting target values for the control target devices, when the control target devices are collectively controlled within one group, the set value is adjusted by the ratio of the adjusted values. For example, when the target sound volume is set for each sound device as shown in FIG. 2B, the target sound volume is adjusted by the ratio of the sound volume when the user collectively lowers the volume for the group. If the target temperature is set for each space in the house as shown in FIG. 2C, the target temperature is adjusted according to the batch control. When the target state such as the height of the blind is set for each window as shown in FIG. 2D, The height may be adjusted or the blocking direction of the blind for blocking light may be changed.

More specifically, in the control system 90A shown in Fig. 2A, a plurality of cooling apparatuses 200A to 230A provided in the home, for example, as the plurality of control target apparatuses 130 in Fig. 1, The user terminal device 100 or the control device 120 controls the temperature of each of the cooling devices 200A and 200B to quickly perform the setting specified by the user, 210A, 220A, and 230A, respectively. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, it becomes possible to automatically calculate the ratio when controlling several devices at a time.

In the control system 90B shown in FIG. 2B, for example, when a plurality of sound devices 200B to 230B provided in the home are operated as the plurality of control target devices 130 in FIG. 1, The user terminal device 100 or the control device 120 may control the sound of the plurality of sound devices 200B and 230B collectively through the user terminal device 100 or the control device 120 of FIG. The sounding devices 200B, 210B, 220B and 230B transmit the volume values of the different sizes to the sounding devices 200B, 210B, 220B and 230B, and the sounding devices 200B, 210B, It can be possible. Here, the rate control means that each of the sound apparatuses 200B, 210B, 220B, and 230B re-adjusts (or resets) a preset value in consideration of the ratio of the adjusted values collectively adjusted.

For example, in the temperature control system 90C as shown in FIG. 2C, when the user controls the entire house temperature through the user terminal device 100 or the control device 120 of FIG. 1 to increase the temperature by about 3 degrees, The cooling or heating devices may be controlled by reflecting different values depending on a relative value, that is, a collectively adjusted ratio, based on a preset temperature. In other words, even if the whole temperature is raised by 3 °, the living room can rise by 1 ° and the living room can rise by 3 ° according to the preset values for each room.

The control system 90D of the blind apparatus shown in Fig. 2D is not much different from the above. In other words, when the user blinds a plurality of blind devices 200D to 220D in the house collectively through the user terminal device 100 or the control device 120 in Fig. 1, the blind devices 200D, 210D, and 220D is controlled based on the blind height set by the user in consideration of the amount of light of each window in the time window, and the blinds are lowered according to different adjustment values. Of course, if you raise the blinds, you can do the same thing.

Meanwhile, the control system 90 according to the embodiment of the present invention can adjust the separately set set values by further considering the peripheral condition of the control target device when changing the set value according to the ratio. In other words, by considering the presence of the user as shown in FIG. 3A, the sound device of the space in which the user is located can increase the volume adjustment ratio as compared with other devices, The volume can be adjusted differently depending on whether it is watching a movie or watching a movie, and a batch adjusted ratio. In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, when the temperature of the house is lowered collectively through the air conditioner or the heating device, the collectively adjusted ratio can be reflected and operated.

More specifically, in the control system 90B of FIG. 2B, when a user collectively adjusts sounds for a plurality of sound apparatuses 200B to 230B, the sound apparatuses 200B, 210B, 220B, and 230B are collectively adjusted The adjustment value according to the ratio can be reflected to the sound device 200B of the living room in which the user is located as shown in FIG. 3 (a). In this way, the control system 90B of FIG. 2B can detect the surroundings such as the presence or absence of the user and control the ratio according to the detection result.

Each of the sound apparatuses 200B, 210B, 220B, and 230B shown in FIG. 2B may be implemented by a user terminal device 100 or a plurality of sound devices 200B and 230B according to the type of content Each of the sound apparatuses 200B, 210B, 220B, and 230B may operate at different ratios. As a result, a dynamic operation can be performed as shown in FIG. 3 (b). For example, the volume adjustment ratio of the audio device 230B such as a TV can be adjusted to be higher than that of the other audio devices 200B and 220B.

As shown in FIG. 4, the control systems 90A and 90C of FIGS. 2A and 2C can be configured to control the cooling or heating devices provided in the home to be controlled by the surrounding conditions such as the user's position, the width of the corresponding space, , External temperature, energy consumption, and so on. 4, the air conditioners 400, 410, and 420 are operated by applying different air volumes to each other. In other words, . In other words, the air volume of the air conditioner 400 in the living room having a large space can be made stronger than the air conditioners 410 and 420 in the other space having a narrow space.

As described above, the control system 90 of FIG. 1 can be variously modified, but the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the above contents. However, for convenience of explanation, a lighting system will be described below as an example.

1, the user terminal 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a mobile phone such as a smart phone for performing wired / wireless communication, a tablet PC, a notebook PC, a desktop PC, and a PDA (Personal Digital Assistants) do. The user terminal device 100 is connected to the communication network 110 and communicates with the control device 120. At this time, the user terminal device 100 can communicate with the control device 120 via the access point 111 in the communication network 110 have. Of course, if the user terminal device 100 performs the operation of the control device 120, the user terminal device 100 can directly control the plurality of control target devices 130. [

The user terminal device 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention collectively adjusts a plurality of control target devices 130 in units of groups through an interface with a user. To this end, the user terminal device 100 may execute an application (or program) stored therein. For example, if the plurality of control target devices 130 is a lighting device, the user terminal device 100 displays a UI window as shown in Figs. 5 (a) to 5 (c) can do. The UI window includes an individual control object 510 for individual control of the illuminating device and a collective control object 520 for collectively controlling a plurality of illuminating devices in the group. The user sets a group for the arbitrary lighting devices (LED1 to LED3) through the UI window as shown in FIG. 5 (a), and individually sets the target illuminance values for the respective lighting devices. Accordingly, the batch control object 520 shown in FIG. 5 (b) indicates the average value of the individually set target illuminance values. 5 (b), the user terminal device 100 adjusts the setting values of the individually set lighting devices to reflect the ratio of the adjustment values, when the collective control object 520 is adjusted to change the target illuminance values 5 (c).

Suppose, for example, that the user individually adjusts the illumination devices to have illumination values of 50, 30, and 100 lux, respectively, by adjusting the individual control objects 510 of the UI window as in FIG. 5 (a). In this case, the batch control object 520 of the UI window displays 60 lux representing the average value of the individually set illumination values as shown in FIG. 5 (b). Then, when the user changes the batch control object 520 to 30 lux, the lighting devices indicate 25, 15 and 50 lux, respectively. This means that since the batch control object 520 has been down by 50% for the mean value 60 lux, each lighting device has reflected its individual set illumination value < RTI ID = 0.0 > Respectively, by a ratio of 1/2.

In this operation process, the user terminal device 100 can further execute various functions. 6 (a) shows an example in which a lock function is set for a lighting device designated by the user during batch control. In the case of the illumination device having the lock function, the operation is not performed at the time of batch control. 6A, a lock object 630 may be displayed on an individual control object 610 corresponding to the illumination device, and only the remaining individual control objects 610 may be displayed as a batch control value Of the total. 6 (b), if the user performs an operation such as tapping 640 of the batch control object 620 to control the batch control as an absolute value rather than a ratio control, The set values of the individual control objects 610 are adjusted to the absolute values of the adjustment values adjusted for the individual control objects 610 and 620, respectively. 6 (c), if the user wants to operate all of the individual illumination devices at the maximum illumination value and adjusts the collective control object 620 to the maximum, the individual control objects 610 are all adjusted to the maximum For example, when a predetermined time elapses or when there is a separate instruction from the user. At this time, the memory object 650 may be displayed on the screen. As a result, the user terminal 100 can continuously perform the rate control according to the embodiment of the present invention. Of course, such a scheme can be applied to the case where all the individual control objects 610 are adjusted to the minimum. In addition, the user terminal device 100 can limit the maximum value that can be adjusted according to the circumstance of the illuminating device as shown in (d) of FIG. 6 at the time of collective control. For example, a lighting device located at a window may not exceed a maximum value even if the amount of light entering from the outside exceeds a threshold value, even if it is included in a group operated by a batch control.

In order to perform the above functions, the user terminal device 100 receives information on a plurality of control target devices 130 registered in the control device 120, for example, a lighting device through initial loading. As a result, the user terminal device 100 shares information on the control device 120 and the plurality of control target devices 130, and as a result, the user can access a plurality of control target devices 130 installed in a certain space, The terminal device 100 can grasp it at a glance. When collectively adjusting the plurality of control target apparatuses 130, the user terminal apparatus 100 further includes group information for the plurality of control target apparatuses 130 set by the user and setting values of the individual control target apparatuses 130_1 to 130_N Or the like, to the control device 120 so that information on the information can be shared. If the user terminal device 100 provides additional information related to the up and down directions of the group information and the illuminance value together with the adjustment value collectively controlled by the user, the control device 120 may reflect the control information to the plurality of control target devices 130 Can be controlled. Of course, in the course of this process, the user terminal device 100 may provide the adjustment value in the form of a ratio value instead of an absolute value. For example, if the adjustment value is 20 lux upward, it does not provide upstream information along with information about 20, but rather provides a ratio value and uplink information for 20 lux.

The user terminal device 100 has been described with reference to FIGS. 5 (a) through 5 (c) for convenience of operation. In the UI window displayed on the screen, Adjusting the object 520 has been described. However, in the embodiment of the present invention, the drag operation is not particularly limited. For example, the adjustment value may be changed by operating a button formed adjacent to the batch control object 520. [ In addition, the adjustment value can be changed by voice control or motion control. In this case, the user terminal device 100 may change the adjustment value by analyzing the voice received through the microphone, and in the case of the motion control, analyze the image input through the camera to change the adjustment value. In the motion control, for example, the direction and the adjustment width of the adjustment value may be determined using the movement of the hand and the movement speed, and then the change can be changed.

The communication network 110 of FIG. 1 includes both wired and wireless communication networks. Here, the wired network includes an Internet network such as a cable network or a public switched telephone network (PSTN), and the wireless communication network includes means such as CDMA, WCDMA, GSM, Evolved Packet Core (EPC), Long Term Evolution (LTE) to be. Therefore, when the communication network 110 is a wired communication network, the user terminal 100 can access the exchange of a telephone office or the like, but in the case of a wireless communication network, the user terminal 100 accesses an SGSN or a Gateway GPRS Support Node (GGSN) , Base Station Transmission (BTS), NodeB, e-NodeB, and the like. The communication network 110 plays a role of collectively adjusting a plurality of control target devices 130 in the user terminal device 100 and transmitting the processed data to the control device 120 according to an embodiment of the present invention .

The communication network 110 includes a small base station or access point 111 such as a femto or pico base station, which is installed in a large number of buildings. Here, the femto or pico base station is classified according to the maximum number of the user terminal 100 that can access the small base station. Of course, the access point 111 includes a user terminal 100 and a short-range communication module for performing short-range communication such as ZigBee and Wi-Fi. In the embodiment of the present invention, the short-range communication includes a wide variety of radio frequency (RF) and ultra wideband (UWB) communications such as Bluetooth, Zigbee, IrDA, UHF and VHF Standard. Accordingly, the access point 111 extracts the location of the data packet, designates the best communication path to the extracted location, and transmits the data packet transmitted from the control device 120 along the designated communication path to the user terminal 100 ). ≪ / RTI > In the meantime, although the access point 111 is connected to the controller 120 by wire, it is also possible to connect the access point 111 wirelessly.

For example, when an access point 111 in a communication network 110, for example, a user terminal device 100, is connected to and operates in a wireless router within an arbitrary space such as a home, the access point 111 transmits data to the user terminal 100 To the control device 120. The control device 120 may be a microprocessor. The data provided by the control device 120 may be provided to the user terminal device 100. In other words, when an application for collectively adjusting a plurality of control target devices 130 is executed while the user terminal device 100 is connected to the access point 111 in the communication network 110, And the control device 120 can perform a loading operation through the access point 111. [ Accordingly, the user terminal device 100 and the control device 120 can share information on the plurality of control target devices 130.

The control device 120 controls the plurality of control target devices 130 by an instruction from the user terminal device 100. [ To this end, the control device 120 is interlocked with the DB 120a, and various information necessary for controlling the plurality of control target devices 130 is stored in the DB 120a. For example, the control device 120 may store various information such as a device ID and location information for a plurality of control target devices 130 installed in an arbitrary space in the DB 120a. The control device 120 can acquire the device ID and the like through the non-contact short distance communication (NFC) with a plurality of the control target devices 130 and the acquired individual control target devices 130_1 to 130_N of the acquired device ID are normally installed , The individual control target devices 130_1 to 130_N can be registered in the DB 120a. Here, the registration process can be more advantageously used to distinguish the control area when the control device 120 is used as a communication device. For example, there should be no control over the lighting of neighboring houses within an apartment complex. Also, the registered individual control target devices 130_1 to 130_N can be deleted through the user terminal device 100 or via the non-contact short distance communication. For example, if the same device ID is reacquired for the registered device ID, it can be determined that the device ID is deleted. Further, the DB 120a stores the group information set by the user through the user terminal device 100 with respect to the plurality of control target devices 130, and the individual setting values for the individual control target devices 130_1 to 130_N and It is also possible to store the average value information for the individual setting values in the group.

When the control unit 120 receives an adjustment value for collectively controlling a plurality of control target devices 130 belonging to the group together with group information for a specific group from the user terminal device 100, The value can be used to calculate the ratio. Of course, if the user terminal device 100 is provided in the form of a ratio value, such a calculation process can be omitted. Thereafter, the control device 120 may adjust the setting values of the plurality of control target devices 130 belonging to the group according to the calculated ratio value, and then store the information in the DB 120a. In addition, the control device 120 controls the plurality of control target devices 130 belonging to the same group with the adjusted set values. For example, if the plurality of control target devices 130 is a lighting device, the control device 120 may generate a control signal for adjusting the illumination value of the illumination device and provide the control signal to the plurality of control target devices 130. [ In this case, the control signal may be a switching signal for adjusting the magnitude of the voltage applied to the plurality of control target devices 130, or a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal for controlling the time of applying the current.

Also, the control device 120 may adjust the setting values of the plurality of control target devices 130 by reflecting various functions set by the user terminal device 100 at the time of batch control. For example, when there is a lock setting for the specific control target devices 130_1 and 130_N, it is possible to control the previous control target devices 130_1 and 130_N to keep the set values unchanged. When the absolute value of the received adjustment value is set to be controlled to an absolute value instead of the ratio control value, the set values of the plurality of control target devices 130 can be adjusted with the calculated absolute value. The related contents have been fully described with reference to FIG. 6, so that further explanation will be omitted.

Furthermore, the control device 120 according to the embodiment of the present invention may automatically determine whether the control method is a ratio control method or an absolute value control method, and may operate in a control method using an absolute value according to a determination result. For example, when an adjustment value is received from the user terminal device 100, the control device 120 determines whether the setting values for the plurality of control target devices 130 individually set by the user are the same. If the set values are all the same, the control device 120 adjusts the set values for the plurality of control target devices 130 with an absolute value. 6 (b), the control device 120 uses a manual method set by the user to control the plurality of control target devices 130 by using the absolute value, or the automatic method as described above And may optionally be used.

In addition, the control device 120 may adjust the set value by reflecting the sensing result of the sensing unit 130a interlocked with the individual control target devices 130_1 to 130_N. For example, the control unit 120 may detect the presence of a user through the sensing unit 130a as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, or may detect the amount of light flowing through the window as shown in FIG. 6, The setting value can be adjusted. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, if the maximum value for adjusting the illuminance value is set for the illumination where the light amount is large, the control is performed so as not to exceed the set maximum value.

Meanwhile, the control device 120 according to the embodiment of the present invention may be included in the communication device in the communication network 110. [ 1, the control device 120 is not a separate device configured separately from the communication network 110, but may be a bridge, a hub, and the like, which can share a plurality of lines in a general network environment, A router, and a repeater, as shown in FIG. The hub is different from a wireless router in that it is a physical layer device that divides only a plurality of ports. The bridge can be the same as a repeater in that two LANs are connected as a data link layer device. However, It is different from the repeater. The repeater plays a role in amplifying the weakened signal. A bridge can reproduce data as well as a repeater, but differs from a repeater in that the location at which data is regenerated is different. A bridge is a concept that combines a repeater and a hub. Routers connect different network layers. It operates as an IP, and routes and reports routing data according to IP. Thus, if the hub and the repeater are one-tier devices, the bridge is a two-tier device and the router is a three-tier device. Such communication apparatuses may be improved to perform the operation of the control apparatus 120 according to the embodiment of the present invention.

The plurality of control target devices 130 include a lighting device, a sound device, a blind device, a temperature control device, and the like. The illumination device according to an example may include an LED. Since such an LED can control dimming, i.e. brightness, a current source or a voltage source is required to control it. In other words, the LED can be driven by constant voltage or constant current. Accordingly, each illumination device may include a separate driving unit for constant voltage and constant current driving, which may operate according to the control signal provided by the control device 120. [ For example, according to the control of the controller 120, the magnitude of the voltage applied to the LED may be adjusted to adjust the brightness. Also, adjusting the driving time of the LED, that is, the pulse width, increases the amount of current and increases the brightness. As described above, the plurality of control target devices 130 can be controlled by the control device 120 according to various methods such as constant voltage or constant current control.

Also, the individual control target devices 130_1 and 130_N can operate according to the detection result of the sensing unit 130a. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the sensing unit 130a may be provided for each of the individual control target apparatuses 130_1 to 130_N. Here, the sensing unit 130a may determine the peripheral states of the individual control target apparatuses 130_1 and 130_N Various types of sensors may be included for sensing. Of course, the sensor is a sensor associated with the ratio control operation. For example, the sensing unit 130a may include an infrared sensor for determining the presence or absence of a user, or may include an optical sensor for determining the amount of light incident from the outside.

For example, when the plurality of control target devices 130 are illuminators, the sensing unit 130a provides the control device 120 with information on the amount of light incident from the outside, and the control device 120 controls the sensing unit 130 The illuminating device can be operated in various ways according to the detection result provided by the illuminating device 130a. For example, if the amount of light exceeds the threshold value, the controller 120 turns off the illumination device associated with the sensing unit 130a. If the amount of light detected by the sensing unit 130a exceeds the threshold, The lighting device will be turned off. In this case, the control device 120 controls only the remaining illumination devices in the same group to adjust the set value by reflecting the ratio value. 6 (e), if the user limits the maximum value that can be adjusted according to the detection result of the sensing unit 130a, the control device 120 ignores the ratio value and outputs only the maximum value of the lighting device You will be able to adjust the settings.

As described above, the user terminal device 100 controls the plurality of control target devices 130 in cooperation with the control device 120 via the communication network 110 as one embodiment of the present invention. However, it should be understood that the embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the above description. For example, the user terminal device 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention may include hardware such as a memory in the control device 120 When performing the operation of the control device 120 including the software, it may be possible to directly control the plurality of control target devices 130 directly. Also, even when the control device 120 is incorporated in the plurality of control target devices 130, the user terminal device 100 can directly control the plurality of control target devices 130.

7A and 7B are block diagrams showing the structure of the user terminal of FIG.

1, a user terminal 100 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes a communication interface unit 700, a controller 710, ), A user interface unit 720, a storage unit 730, and a group control execution unit 740.

Here, the inclusion of some or all of them means that some components such as the storage unit 730 are omitted, as in FIG. 7B, or some components such as the group control execution unit 740 are integrated into the control unit 710 The present invention will be described in its entirety for the purpose of assisting a sufficient understanding of the present invention.

The communication interface unit 700 performs communication with the control device 120. [ Of course, as another embodiment of the present invention, the communication interface unit 700 may perform communication with a plurality of control target devices 130. [ In other words, when the user terminal device 100 directly controls the plurality of control target devices 130 without intervention of the control device 120, the communication interface 700 communicates with the plurality of control target devices 130 Can be performed.

The control unit 710 performs overall operations for controlling the communication interface unit 700, the user interface unit 720, the storage unit 730, and the group control execution unit 740 in the user terminal device 100. For example, when there is a user command for adjusting a plurality of control target devices 130 through the user interface unit 720, the control unit 710 can operate the group control execution unit 740 according to a user command have. In addition, when the user changes the adjustment values for collectively adjusting the plurality of control target devices 130 of FIG. 1 through the user interface unit 720, the control unit 710 displays information on the adjustment values The control unit 120 may control the communication interface unit 700 to provide the control signal. At this time, the control unit 710 may provide additional information indicating the group information stored in the storage unit 730 and whether the adjustment value is an upward value or a downward value, together with an adjustment value. The control unit 710 may control the communication interface unit 700 to provide the control device 120 with information on various functions set by the user through the user interface unit 720. For example, when there is a setting indicating a lock setting or a control method using an absolute value value instead of the ratio control, the control unit 710 controls the communication interface unit 700 to provide the setting information to the control device 120, Can be controlled.

The user interface unit 720 may include a display unit and a button input unit. For example, when the user interface unit 720 is composed of a touch-screen type display unit, a user command can be received by a user's touch. At this time, the button input unit may be omitted. If the user interface unit 720 is not configured as a touch screen type display unit, data corresponding to the driving of the group control execution unit 740 may be displayed on the screen, and a user command may be provided through the button input unit. Here, the button input unit may include various buttons such as a direction button and a numeric button.

The storage unit 730 stores various information to be processed in the user terminal device 100. In the embodiment of the present invention, the storage unit 730 may share information about a plurality of control target devices 130 through communication with the control device 120, and may store shared information. For example, if the user sets a group with respect to the individual control target devices 130_1 and 130_N of FIG. 1 through the user terminal device 100, the user terminal device 100 may control the plurality of control target devices And basic information such as group information for collectively adjusting the information 130.

The group control execution unit 740 stores an application for collectively adjusting a plurality of control target devices 130 through the control unit 120 of FIG. 1 and stores the application for collective adjustment under the control of the control unit 710 You can run the application. When the application is executed, the user interface unit 720 can display a UI window as shown in Figs. 5A to 5C on the screen. The UI will be discussed in detail later. Also, the group control execution unit 740 may generate an adjustment value so that the adjustment value collectively adjusted by the user is provided to the control device 120, or may calculate the ratio value so that the ratio value of the adjustment value is provided to the control device 120 Can be generated. The adjustment value or ratio value thus generated is transmitted to the communication interface unit 700 under the control of the control unit 710. [

Meanwhile, the user terminal device 100 may include various functional blocks. For example, when the user terminal device 100 controls a plurality of control target devices 130 through speech recognition or motion recognition, the user terminal device 100 may include a microphone and a camera, And an analysis module for analyzing the analysis result. In the embodiment of the present invention, various modifications can be made as long as a plurality of control target devices 130 can be grouped and a plurality of control target devices 130 can be collectively adjusted in a group. I will not.

8A and 8B are block diagrams showing the structure of the control apparatus of FIG.

1, a control device 120 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a communication interface unit 800, a control unit 810, A storage unit 820, and a set value adjuster 830. [0053]

Here, to include some or all of them may be configured such that some components such as the storage unit 820 are omitted or some components such as the setting value adjustment unit 830 are integrated into the control unit 810 as in FIG. 8B And the like, and the description is made to include all of them in order to facilitate a sufficient understanding of the invention.

The communication interface unit 800 performs communication with the user terminal device 100 and the plurality of control target devices 130. [ Through communication with the user terminal 100, the communication interface 800 can receive adjustment values for collectively adjusting the plurality of control target devices 130 by the user and various additional information corresponding thereto. Also, the user can receive information according to various setting functions set by the user terminal device 100. Also, the communication interface unit 800 can receive the detection results provided by the sensing unit 130a of FIG. 1 through the plurality of control target devices 130. FIG. In addition, the communication interface unit 800 can register the individual control target devices 130_1 to 130_N in non-contact short-distance wireless communication. For example, after the control unit 810 registers the individual control target devices 130_1 to 130_N in the storage unit 820 or the separate DB 120a, the control unit 810 receives signals from the individual control target devices 130_1 to 130_N It can be determined that the individual control target devices 130_1 to 130_N are installed. At this time, the device IDs of the individual control target devices 130_1 to 130_N can be used.

The control unit 810 can control overall operations of the communication interface unit 800, the storage unit 820, and the set value adjustment unit 830 in the control device 120. [ For example, when the control unit 810 receives the adjustment value transmitted from the user terminal device 100 through the communication interface unit 800, the control unit 810 may transmit the received adjustment value to the setting value adjustment unit 830. Of course, even in the case of being provided in the form of the ratio value, it can be transmitted to the setting value adjustment unit 830. The control unit 810 controls the setting of the individual control target devices 130_1 to 130_N of FIG. 1 belonging to the same group stored in the storage unit 820 or the separate DB 120a according to a request of the setting value adjustment unit 830 Value information can be provided. The control unit 810 may store the setting value information adjusted by the setting value adjusting unit 830 in the storage unit 820 or may store the setting value information in the DB 120a.

The control unit 810 controls the plurality of control target devices 130 according to the set values adjusted by the set value adjusting unit 830. [ For this, the controller 810 may generate a control signal for controlling the plurality of control target devices 130 and provide the control signals to the plurality of control target devices 130. For example, when the illuminance value of illumination is adjusted downward for specific individual control target devices 130_1 and 130_N, the controller 810 may generate and provide a control signal for lowering the magnitude of the applied voltage. In other words, the various control voltages may be applied to the individual control target devices 130_1 to 130_N, and the control unit 810 may provide a switching signal as a control signal so that a specific voltage is selected.

The storage unit 820 may temporarily store information processed in the control device 120. [ Practically, the information necessary for collectively controlling the plurality of control target devices 130 of FIG. 1 can be stored in the DB 120a linked to the control device 120. FIG. However, the controller 120 may store the information requiring temporary storage in the storage unit 820 for quick information processing.

The set value adjustment unit 830 adjusts (or calculates) the set values of the individual control target devices 130_1 to 130_N previously set by the user. If the user terminal device 100 provides the adjustment value in the form of an absolute value in the process, the setting value adjustment unit 830 can calculate the ratio value using the received adjustment value. At this time, the setting value adjusting unit 830 can use the information on the average value of the specific group. In other words, the ratio of the adjustment value to the average value in the case of the downward adjustment value can be calculated, and in the case of the upward adjustment value, the adjustment value can be calculated by subtracting the average value from the adjustable maximum value. When the ratio value is calculated as described above, the set value adjusting unit 830 adjusts the set values of the predetermined individual control target devices 130_1 to 130_N according to the calculated ratio. If the set value adjustment unit 830 receives the rate value directly from the user terminal device 100, it adjusts only the set values of the previously set individual control target devices 130_1 to 130_N. At this time, the setting value adjustment unit 830 may reflect various setting information provided by the control unit 810 when adjusting the setting value. For example, if the lock setting is made, the setting values may not be adjusted for the individual control target devices 130_1 and 130_N having the lock setting. The set value adjusted by the set value adjuster 830 may be provided to the controller 810. [

FIG. 9 is a view showing a batch control process of the lighting apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 10A and 10B are diagrams illustrating a batch control process of the lighting apparatus of FIG.

9, the user terminal 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention provides the group dimming adjustment value, i.e., the adjusted illuminance value, to the controller 120 (S900). Of course, the user terminal device 100 may display a UI window on the screen according to a user's request. The UI window includes an individual control object 1110 and a group control object 1120 as shown in FIGS. 10A and 10B . Here, the individual control object 1110 indicates predetermined setting values for the illumination devices 130'_1, 130'_2, and 130'_3 in FIG. 9, and the group control object 1120 indicates an average value . Therefore, the adjusted illuminance value means a value whose average value is adjusted.

Also, the controller 120 calculates the dimming adjustment values of the illumination devices 130'_1, 130'_2, and 130'_3 using the received dimming adjustment value (S910). More precisely, the ratio of the received dimming adjustment value is calculated, and the predetermined dimming value is individually adjusted by reflecting the calculated ratio value.

Next, the control device 120 provides the dimming values adjusted in proportion to the illumination devices 130'_1, 130'_2, and 130'_3, respectively (S920). More precisely, the control device 120 may provide a control signal indicative of the adjusted dimming value. However, if the illumination devices 130'_1, 130'_2, and 130'_3 each have separate controls, then the control device 120 may control the illumination devices 130'_1, 130'_2, 130'_3, And the illuminating devices 130'_1, 130'_2, and 130'_3 can adjust the brightness using the information.

Thereafter, the illumination devices 130'_1, 130'_2, and 130'_3 may inform the control device 120 that the adjusted dimming value has been normally received (S930).

Accordingly, the controller 120 can update and store the new adjusted information on the dimming value in the DB 120a to be interlocked (S940), and can also transmit new information on the adjusted dimming value to the user terminal 100 ) (S950).

In addition, the user terminal device 100 can request information on attributes and states of the illumination devices 130'_1, 130'_2, and 130'_3 through communication with the control device 120 (S960) The server 120 may provide information about the request (S970).

Referring to FIGS. 10A and 10B, the user terminal 100 may further include an individual control object 1110 and a collective control object 1120 on the screen as shown in FIG. 10A. Can be displayed. 10A, if the user has adjusted the collective control object 1120 to the maximum, the control device 120 sets the illumination devices 130'_1, 130'_2, and 130'_3 to the maximum illumination value regardless of the ratio control . Accordingly, the individual control objects 1110 and the collective control objects 1120 indicate the maximum value on the screen of the user terminal device 100. Thereafter, the control device 120 returns to the previous state, for example, when there is a user request to continue the rate control operation. For this, the control device 120 may refer to the previous setting value information stored in the DB 120a.

On the other hand, if the user adjusts the collective control object 1120 as shown in FIG. 10B and increases the luminance value of the remaining 50 adjustable values by 25, it is increased by 1/2 from the remaining value obtained by subtracting the average value from the maximum value. The apparatus 120 controls the individually set illumination apparatuses 130'_1, 130'_2, and 130'_3 at a half rate to increase the predetermined illumination value by 1/2. The individual control objects 1110 indicating the illuminance values of 70, 50, and 30 in the UI window of the user terminal device 100 are changed to the illuminance values of 85, 75, and 65, respectively.

11 is a flowchart showing a method of driving the control apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

12, the control apparatus 120 according to the embodiment of the present invention compares an adjustment value obtained by collectively adjusting a plurality of control target apparatuses 130 in the group from the user terminal apparatus 100 (S1100). The adjustment value may be provided in the form of an absolute value or a ratio value. Also, when an adjustment value is received, the control device 120 may receive information about whether it is an upward adjustment value or a downward adjustment value.

The controller 120 then adjusts the preset values for the plurality of control target devices 130 according to the ratio of the received adjustment values (S1110). Since this has been described with reference to FIG. 10B, further explanation will be omitted.

Thereafter, the control device 120 controls the plurality of control target devices 130 according to the adjusted set values (S1120). For example, the plurality of control target devices 130 can be individually controlled. Here, the plurality of control target devices 130 may include various devices such as a sound device and a blind device in addition to the above-mentioned lighting device.

In this case, the dimming value means an adjustment value for the average value, and the dimming value can be provided in the form of an absolute value or a ratio value.

Next, the control device 120 determines whether the predetermined dimming values for the plurality of illumination devices 130'_1, 130'_2, and 130'_3 in the same group are all the same (S1210). For this purpose, the controller 120 may obtain a preset dimming value for a plurality of illuminating devices 130'_1, 130'_2, and 130'_3 belonging to the corresponding group in the DB 120a to be compared.

If not, the control device 120 adjusts the set values for the plurality of lighting devices 130'_1, 130'_2, and 130'_3 according to the received ratio of the adjusted dimming value (S1220) . The adjustment may include calculating the ratio, determining the adjustment range according to the calculated ratio, and the like.

If they are all the same, the control device 120 adjusts the set values for the plurality of illumination devices 130'_1, 130'_2, and 130'_3 to an absolute value of the adjusted dimming value (S1230). Where the adjustment may include a calculation of the absolute value. The adjusted set values may be transmitted collectively to the plurality of illuminating devices 130'_1, 130'_2, and 130'_3.

Thereafter, the control device 120 can individually or collectively control the plurality of illumination devices 130'_1, 130'_2, and 130'_3 according to the adjusted set values based on the ratio control or the absolute value control method (S1240).
