Description

[0001] Lighting control scheduling system [0002]

The present invention relates to an illumination control scheduling system, and more particularly, to an illumination control scheduling system based on a development software language intersection technology for real-time function expansion.

The lighting control scheduling system adjusts the brightness of networked LED lights and changes the color temperature. The lighting control scheduling system also collects information from the connected sensors and utilizes the information gathered through the public internet network to control the LED lighting.

Most of these lighting control scheduling systems have the disadvantage of re-installing and reinstalling the software in order to expand the function after the development is completed.

In other words, if there is a need to add or change during the actual operation, the lighting control scheduling system in operation must be stopped, the software must be modified, and then the operation must be performed again. Also, since the software development language of such a scheduling system is often unified into one type, it is limited to the corresponding development language and has a disadvantage that it is difficult to expand various functions.

In this way, the software development of the lighting control scheduling system creates a program using a unified development language, and the participation of developers using various development languages is limited. Accordingly, a program created in accordance with the requirements can not be immediately applied to the additional request function when the program is started once, and the program must be stopped, re-executed, and then re-executed. For example, when there is a basic function for performing a specific lighting control on a specific weather change, and there is an extension function for performing a specific lighting control by reacting with a specific traffic change according to a user's request, The control scheduling system technology must stop the program, re-execute the software and run it again.

1 is a configuration diagram of a lighting control scheduling system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The illumination control scheduling system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a light control scheduler basic function 100 that provides basic functions related to lighting control, a light control scheduler extension function 200 that provides a real time new function, And cross-language connections 110 and 210 that provide cross-language based interworking.

Here, the cross-language connection unit 110 is connected to the illumination control scheduler basic function unit 100, and the cross-language connection unit 210 is connected to the illumination control scheduler extension function 200 capable of real-time function expansion.

The lighting control scheduler basic function unit 100 and the lighting control scheduler expansion function unit 200 use programs written in different software development languages.

The illumination control scheduler basic function unit 100 and the illumination control scheduler expansion function unit 200 can call each other's functions through the cross language connections 110 and 210. [

The cross-language connections 110 and 210 each have a promised remote procedure call list.

In an embodiment of the present invention, cross language refers to different programming languages.

If there is a program written in Software Development Language 1, in a program written in Software Development Language 2, a method that can link each other in order to use the functions of the program written in Software Development Language 1 is needed. In an embodiment of the present invention, this can be solved through cross language.

For example, assuming that the function of controlling lighting in C language is already implemented, in order to use it in a program made in JAVA language, it is necessary to rewrite contents of C language program in JAVA language. In the past, there has been a need for effort. In an embodiment of the present invention, a cross language is used in which C language and JAVA language can be interpreted simultaneously. When the functions of each other are called by using the cross language, the program written in the respective language can be used as it is. In the embodiment of the present invention, this is called a remote procedure call.

2 is an internal block diagram of the illumination control scheduler basic function 100 shown in FIG.

The illumination control scheduler basic function unit 100 includes a manual control function for turning on and off the lights 10a to 10n as the input commands are provided and adjusting the brightness and automatically turning on and off the lights 10a- Off or brightness control of the image.

The illumination control scheduler basic function unit 100 includes a schedule-based scheduling unit 112, a database management unit 113, a weather / climate information reception unit 114, a national disaster information reception unit 115, a power management operation unit 116, And a control network unit 117.

The schedule-based scheduling unit 112 can perform the registered light control operation based on the date and time when it matches the date and time (i.e., schedule). That is, the schedule-based scheduling unit 112 may perform the registered illumination control operation according to a schedule.

The database management unit 113 stores the illumination control operation as a database. In addition, the database management unit 113 can perform a correction or reading function for the stored lighting control operation, and can manage based on the searching and sorting function.

The weather / climate information receiving unit 114 can receive weather or weather information provided from the public Internet or the like.

The national disaster information receiving unit 115 can receive disaster information, disaster news, disaster information, and the like provided from the public Internet or the like.

The power management operation unit 116 may measure the amount of electric power used for lighting control, and output an estimated cost or the like.

The lighting control network unit 117 is responsible for the communication network functions necessary to control the plurality of lights 10a to 10n and can interpret or generate the lighting control information according to a predetermined protocol.

In FIG. 2, the cross-language connection unit 110 includes a remote procedure call server unit 111. The remote procedure call server unit 111 can perform a function of calling actual light control functions (e.g., illumination on / off, etc.) according to the selected remote procedure call.

Although the cross-language connection unit 110 is connected to the illumination control scheduler basic function unit 100, it may be included as needed.

3 is an internal configuration diagram of the illumination control scheduler extension function 200 shown in FIG.

Unlike the basic control operation of the illumination, the illumination control scheduler expanding function unit 200 is responsible for input processing such as a user's control command. When the control command of the user is inputted, the illumination control scheduler extension function unit 200 delivers the processing result to the illumination control scheduler basic function unit 100, and outputs the processing result to the graphic screen.

The illumination control scheduler expansion function unit 200 includes a time / calendar unit 211, a three-dimensional data structure unit 212, a user input processing unit 213, and a graphic display unit 214.

The time / calendar unit 211 has time and calendar information for knowing a schedule. The time / calendar unit 211 may provide time and date information in response to a request for a current time or a specific time in the system.

The three-dimensional data structure unit 212 stores the shape or the connection structure in which the lights 10a to 10n are arranged in the building as three-dimensional data. Here, the three-dimensional data may include, for example, location information of a specific illumination (that is, information on the number of floors, a lake, a layout space, etc.). In other words, when the lights 10a to 10n are arranged in the building, it is preferable that the shape or the connection structure in which the lights 10a to 10n are arranged is formed of three-dimensional data of X, Y and Z shapes. Thus, for example, information such as "Illumination is arranged in a few rows and a few columns in a three-story building" can be three-dimensional data.

The user input processor 213 receives the user's illumination control commands (on / off, brightness control, etc.), interprets the commands, and calls the corresponding cross language function.

In other words, the user input processing unit 213 interprets a button, a menu, or a numerical input corresponding to the graphic user interface presented on the screen, and calls a corresponding cross language function.

The graphic display unit 214 can visualize information in the form of a picture, a chart, a text, and the like on a screen constituted by a flat panel display device. The graphic display unit 214 may be a graphical user interface (GUI) for facilitating user input.

In FIG. 3, the cross language connection 210 includes a remote procedure call client 215. The remote procedure call client unit 215 may select the remote procedure call corresponding to the incoming light control user input. Although the cross-language connection unit 210 is connected to the illumination control scheduler extension function unit 200, it may be included as needed.

Since the cross language connections 110 and 210 have mutually agreed remote call order lists, when the light control user input is received in the remote order call client unit 215, the remote order call client unit 215 receives the corresponding remote procedure And sends the selected call to the remote procedure call server unit 111. [ Thereby, the remote procedure call server unit 111 calls the actual lighting control (illumination on / off, etc.) function according to the selected remote procedure call.

4 is a diagram illustrating an operation flow of a lighting control scheduling system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

First, the remote control calling interface for the function that the lighting control scheduler basic function unit 100 requests or extends is used (S100).

Accordingly, the remote procedure call server unit 111 performs the cross language operation for the remote procedure call interface and the remote procedure call client unit 215 accepts the cross language operation (S110).

The remote procedure call client unit 215 then requests the light control scheduler extension function 200 to execute the remote procedure call interface for the function to be requested or extended (S120).

Accordingly, the lighting control scheduler extension function 200 executes the function to be requested or extended, and then transmits the result to the remote procedure call client unit 215 (S130).

The remote procedure call client unit 215 transfers the results from the light control scheduler extension function 200 to the light control scheduler basic function 100 through the cross language operation with the remote procedure call server unit 111 S140, S150).

As described above, an optimal embodiment has been disclosed in the drawings and specification. Although specific terms have been employed herein, they are used for purposes of illustration only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention as defined in the claims or the claims. Therefore, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications and equivalent embodiments are possible without departing from the scope of the present invention.
