Further, some embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to exemplary drawings. In adding reference numerals to components of each drawing, the same components may have the same reference numerals as much as possible even though they are indicated in different drawings. In addition, in describing the present invention, if it is determined that a detailed description of a related known configuration or function may obscure the gist of the present invention, the detailed description may be omitted.

In describing the components of the present invention, terms such as first, second, A, B, (a), (b), etc. may be used. These terms are only for distinguishing the elements from other elements, and the essence, order, order, or number of the elements are not limited by the terms. When it is described that a component is “connected”, “coupled” or “connected” to another component, the component may be directly connected or connected to the other component, but other components may be interposed between each component. It should be understood that each component may be “interposed” or “connected”, “coupled” or “connected” through another component.

In addition, in implementing the present invention, components may be subdivided for convenience of description, but these components may be implemented in one device or module, or one component may include a plurality of devices or modules. It may be implemented by being divided into .

In the present specification, a device that an individual carries or is provided to an individual emits light in various patterns and also includes an auxiliary vibration function is referred to as a lighting device. It may be carried by individuals at a concert hall, concert, etc., or may be provided as a fixed device placed at the individual's seat.

Next, a pattern in which a lighting device emits light, blinks, or provides vibration in addition to it is called a pattern, and a combination of one or more patterns is called a scenario.

The lighting device may store the above-described scenario by including a predetermined storage unit and may operate according to the scenario. In particular, the lighting device includes a communication unit, and may select a scenario or operate according to the scenario according to information received by the communication unit. Let's look at this in more detail.

1 is a view showing the configuration of a writing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. The lighting device 100 includes a storage unit 110 for storing a scenario, a light source unit 190 for outputting light, a communication unit 160 for receiving a control message for controlling the operation of the scenario, and a controller 150 for controlling them. is composed The storage unit 110 is a space for storing information necessary for the writing device 100 to operate, that is, a pattern or a scenario including a pattern, and uses a non-volatile memory such as a flash memory as an embodiment.

The communication unit 160 uses radio frequency (RF) communication such as Bluetooth, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), WiFi, ZigBee, and UWB, and provides a function of transmitting and receiving information with external devices.

The light source unit 190 emits, blinks, or adjusts brightness of a specific color according to the information stored in the storage unit 110 and the control of the control unit 150 . The light source unit 190 is made of an LED bulb or a specific light emitting material and can output light.

The control unit 150 communicates with a separate communication device (cell phone, tablet computer, etc.) using the communication unit 160 to receive the above-described scenario and store it in the storage unit 110 . Then, the control unit 150 communicates with another control device using the communication unit 160 to operate, that is, activate the light source unit 190 based on the above-described scenario. According to an embodiment of the scenario activation, the controller 150 controls the light source unit 190 according to a pattern set in a scenario. That is, the control unit 150 may control the light source unit 190 according to a scenario stored in the storage unit 110 and a control message received by the communication unit 160 .

The RTC unit 180 provides a real time clock, which provides accurate time information so that scenarios can be activated at a specific time. The RTC unit 180 may operate in synchronization with all lighting devices. In addition, time information included in the control message received by the communication unit 160, that is, time information indicating the start or end of a specific scenario or specific pattern in the control message, is preset with a difference from the current time of the RTC unit 180. When the interval (eg, 1 minute or 5 minutes, etc.) or more, the control unit 150 may store the control message in the storage unit 110 as a scenario.

The storage unit 110 may store group information of the lighting device in addition to the scenario. Scenarios can be configured for each group, and even when all scenarios are downloaded, the lighting device can operate according to the scenario of a specific group according to the group information of the storage unit.

2 is a diagram showing the configuration of a scenario according to an embodiment of the present invention. The scenario may include all patterns in which the lighting device 100 can operate. The scenario may instruct control of the light output of the light source unit of the lighting apparatus 100 .

The group identification information is information for identifying when a plurality of lighting devices arranged in a space are divided into n groups and have different scenarios for each group. The scenario identification information is information included when a control device, which will be described later, instructs each lighting device to operate according to a specific scenario. For example, when the control device transmits a command message saying “scenario 002 operation”, the lighting device executes “002” in the scenario identification information. However, when divided into a plurality of groups, the writing device may operate according to the set group number. For example, if the lighting device is the third group (GROUP3), if a command message “Operate scenario 002” is received from the control device, the corresponding pattern “G / GRAD_30 / R / Repeat 60” can be operated. StartTime is information on the time to operate the scenario. If there is time information, the control unit 150 checks the RTC unit 180 even if there is no command from the external control device, and the light source unit 190 determines the specific time according to the pattern at the set time. It allows you to perform various actions such as flashing and emitting colored light.

When StartTime is "NULL", it means that the operation of the corresponding scenario operates only according to the message instruction of the control device.

The pattern may be a color of the light emitted by the light source unit 190, a time period for emitting light, a repeating cycle, or a blinking or off cycle. For example, R, G, and B indicate red, green, and blue, respectively. When the light source unit 190 can control the light more precisely, it can also output a color combining RGB. For example, the RGB value may also indicate a 3-bit value indicating on/off, respectively. In case of indicating with RGB 256 colors, each of R, G, and B may be expressed as 1 byte (8 bits), that is, 3 bytes in defining RGB.

Alternatively, depending on the characteristics of the light source unit 190 , R (red) has 16 color ranges, G (green) has 16 color ranges, and B (blue) has a range of colors. With 16 types, colors can be defined with a total of 12 bits, with 4 bits each for R, G, and B. Or, with a smaller number, the range of colors that R (red) can have is 4, the range of colors that G (green) can have, and the range of colors that B (blue) can have is 4 types. A color can be defined with a total of 6 bits, with 2 bits each for R, G, and B.

A pattern may be configured by displaying the color of the light source unit in each of RGB, R/G/B, or a specific binary or hexadecimal number using the various methods described above. In addition, the ON and OFF of the light source, and the time (seconds) for maintaining it can be both. In addition, the number of repetitions or time can be set to REPEAT.

GRAD is a pattern in which the light source part gradually changes with a gradation. In one embodiment, the scenario "002" of the first group is "R / GRAD_10 / B / REPEAT_60 ", the color of the light source changes from red to blue in a gradation for 10 seconds, and this is repeated 60 times (or repeating 60 seconds) means to do BLINK indicates blinking.

The configuration of the pattern may vary according to the characteristics of the light source unit 190, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

In addition, FIG. 2 shows all scenarios for each group, and when the lighting device 100 is not set to a specific group, scenarios of all groups may be received from the communication device. Alternatively, when the lighting device 100 is set as a group, only the scenario of the corresponding group may be received. In addition, even when the lighting device 100 is set to a specific group, scenarios of all groups may be received from the communication device. The received scenario is stored in the storage 110 .

Referring to the scenario of FIG. 2 , the scenario may be configured with a pattern including information indicating the color or brightness of the light output by the light source unit 190 . In addition, a scenario may be configured with a pattern including information indicating a time of an operation in which the light source unit 190 outputs, blinks, or turns on/off light.

1 and 2, the lighting device performs the function of lighting in a space with a large number of people, such as a performance hall, and these lighting devices can be controlled in large quantities. In particular, a control message for controlling a lighting device may be relayed between a control device and a lighting device to be described later by using RF devices to control a large number of lighting devices. In particular, when control is transmitted to tens of thousands of communication nodes at the same time, the probability of occurrence of a communication short circuit and delay may increase. When the present invention is applied, the scenario can be stored in advance to trigger a specific scenario. In this way, communication omissions and short circuits can be prevented in advance by sending a message indicating a scenario to be performed by lighting devices in real time. Therefore, it is possible to solve problems such as reception omission or short circuit, which occur in the process of controlling a large amount of lighting in the prior art, or delay problems caused by an increase in the amount of data.

In addition, if the scenario storage method of the present specification is applied, control reliability can be improved by repeatedly transmitting only a message (start message) for activating a scenario.

3 is a diagram illustrating a process of storing a scenario in a storage unit of a lighting device according to an embodiment of the present invention. The software (application, app) installed in the communication device 10 receives the scenario from the server device 20 that provides the scenario and provides it to the lighting device 100 .

First, the server device 20 creates and uploads a scenario grouped by seat or time (S31). Scenarios may be designed by a planner, and may be composed of patterns as shown in FIG. 2 above. It has been seen in FIG. 2 that the pattern can be designed in various ways, such as allowing the lighting device to operate with a specific color after the start of a specific song.

And the app of the communication device 10 receives the scenario from the server device 20 (S32). The communication device 10 stores the received scenario (S33).

The user of the communication device 10 sets group information of the scenario to be used ( S34 ), which may vary depending on which location, which seat, or which ticket the user purchases.

In addition, before receiving the scenario download, the audience can input information by using the app of the communication device 10 by QR code tagging or by directly inputting numbers and letters for a ticket number or a ticket seat number. Alternatively, you can enter your ID and password and enter your seat number.

After storing the scenario according to various embodiments (S33) and setting group information (S34), the communication device 10 transmits the scenario to the writing device 100 (S35). The writing device 100 and the communication device 10 may be paired using short-range communication such as Bluetooth or BLE, and based on this, a scenario stored in the communication device 10 may be transmitted to the writing device 100 . The writing device 100 may store the scenario in the storage unit ( S36 ), and optionally transmit an acknowledgment message (ACK) indicating that the scenario storage is completed to the communication device 10 .

In FIG. 3 , the scenario transmission of S32 may transmit scenarios of all groups. In addition, when the communication device 10 sets a group in advance, for example, when group information such as ticket information or seat information is set before S32, the server device 20 in S32 determines the scenario used for the group and the entire group. Scenarios commonly applied to a group can be selected and transmitted.

4 is a view showing the configuration of a control device according to an embodiment of the present invention. The control device 500 includes a storage unit 510 for storing information such as a scenario and a control message, a display unit 520 for outputting information, and a communication unit 560 for transmitting a message for controlling a plurality of lighting devices; It is composed of a control unit 550 that controls them. Also, an interface unit 530 for a planner to change, control, or generate a scenario in real time may be selectively provided.

In more detail, the controller 550 starts a stored scenario, stops a currently running scenario, or generates a control message indicating a specific pattern. In addition, the interface unit 530 may be configured as a touch screen or a button, and may receive input information required to generate a control message. In addition, the control device 500 further includes a display unit 520 , and the control unit 550 may simulate a stored scenario or control message and output it to the display unit. The simulation can simulate the operation of current lighting devices, and can simulate in advance the operation of future lighting devices.

The control device 500 is a device possessed by a planner or a person in charge of controlling lighting at a concert hall or a concert, and may be a computer, a smartphone, a tablet computer, or the like.

The display unit 520 of the control device 500 operates according to a scenario stored in the storage unit 510 or a new control device 500 in the same way that a plurality of lighting devices in the performance hall operate according to the scenario. ), the scenario activation status can be displayed.

5 is a diagram illustrating a control process between a control device and a lighting device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The control device 500 generates a control message to be transmitted to a plurality of writing devices (S61). As an embodiment of the control message for controlling the operation of the lighting device, a scenario number to be specifically performed may be indicated. As shown in Control_Message below, a control message can be configured to include information about the current time, scenario number, and start time.

Control_Message = "19:25 / Scenario 003 / 19:30"

Alternatively, it may instruct to stop the currently running scenario.

Control_Message = "19:25 / STOP_SCENARIO / 19:26"

Alternatively, it may instruct to restart the currently running scenario.

Control_Message = "19:25 / RESTART_SCENARIO / 19:26"

Alternatively, the light source of the lighting device may be controlled to emit light in a corresponding color by simply turning off or turning on the entire lighting device, or providing specific color information (RGB).

That is, the control message may be a message for starting a scenario stored in each lighting device 100 , stopping a currently operating scenario, or indicating a specific pattern. Accordingly, the control message may include information instructing the lighting devices to operate in common, or may include information for controlling different scenarios stored in advance in the lighting device. Scenario control may be various information such as changing a scenario, controlling a lighting device operating according to a scenario to execute another scenario, or changing a scenario.

In particular, in the present invention, since the control message is transmitted through broadcasting, the control messages received by the writing devices are the same. However, when the lighting devices interpret and apply the corresponding control message, it may vary depending on the scenario information stored by each.

That is, even if a control message with the same content of "Scenario 1 execution" is transmitted to all the lighting devices, if the "Scenario 1" stored in each lighting device is different, the lighting devices may perform different operations, which make it work

In addition, the control message may include specific group information. For example, when instructing on/off of lighting for lighting devices belonging to group 1, the following control message may be transmitted. Instructs the lighting devices belonging to group 1 to blink with a red light source.

Control_Message = "TO:GROUP1/LIGHT_RED_BLINK"

The aforementioned control message may be transmitted by broadcasting by relay devices of a space in which the lighting devices of group 1 are disposed. Alternatively, all relay devices broadcast without distinction of groups, but only lighting devices belonging to group 1 may receive and operate the corresponding control message.

When the control message is generated, the control device 500 transmits the control message to the transmission device 50 . A control message may be transmitted between the transmitting device 50 and the control device 500 using various communication protocols such as TCP/IP or Wi-Fi.

Meanwhile, the transmitting device 50 transmits the received control message to one or more relay devices 90a to 90n (S64 to S65). A plurality of relay devices 90a to 90n may be disposed in the entire space, such as a performance hall or a concert. A communication method between the transmitting device 50 and the relay devices 90a to 90n may use an RF method (Wi-Fi, BT, BLE, ZigBee, UWB).

The relay devices 90a to 90n transmit the received control message again in a broadcasting manner (S66 to S67). A control message is transmitted to a plurality of lighting devices 100a to 100m in a broadcasting manner, and steps S66 to S67 may be repeated two or three times. In the case of repeated transmission, all of the plurality of writing devices 100a to 100m can receive the control message accurately and the reliability of the control can be improved.

A communication method between the relay devices 90a to 90n and the lighting devices 100a to 100m may use an RF method (Wi-Fi, BT, BLE, ZigBee, UWB). Thereafter, the lighting devices 100a to 100m control the light source unit according to the received control message (S68, S69). Light source control may occur simultaneously.

When the received control message is not of the type to be executed immediately, for example, if the received control message is of the type to be executed after a certain time has elapsed, the control unit 150 of the writing device 100 relates to the instruction content or scenario included in the control message. Information may be stored in the storage unit 110 .

In addition, the control message may include identification information of each control message, and the control device 500 may store the identification number of the control message as the scenario identification number as it is. Alternatively, a separate identification code may be added when a control message is stored as a scenario in order to distinguish it from a pre-stored scenario.

Therefore, when the control device 500 that has transmitted the control message cancels the execution of the previously transmitted control message, if only the identification number of the control message to be canceled is transmitted, the control unit 150 of the writing device 100 controls the storage unit 110 ), it is possible to search for and delete the control message stored as a scenario, or to stop the operation of the scenario if it is a currently activated scenario.

Control_Message1 = "ID0010/ TO:GROUP1/ 19:25 / Scenario 003 "

In an embodiment, the aforementioned control message (Control_Message1) is as follows when switched according to the configuration of FIG. 2 .

Group identification information Scenario identification information StartTime pattern GROUP1 CM001 19:25 Scenario 003

As above, the control message can also be stored as a scenario. In particular, in the middle of a performance, when the control device 500 wants to change a scenario to be performed 5 to 10 minutes or later or insert a new pattern, it broadcasts a control message including a group identification number to provide a new scenario to the Laitang device. can be saved. 6 is a diagram showing an embodiment of storing a scenario in various communication methods between a writing device and a communication device according to an embodiment of the present invention. The communication device 10 may communicate with the server device 20 through LTE or Wi-Fi. When the user logs in using software installed in the communication device 10 or inputs the seat number of the ticket (S71), a scenario to be installed in the lighting device 100 to be retained by the user is received from the server device 20 (S72) ). The receiving scenario may be one or more of the scenarios distinguished into specific groups. And the communication device 10 transmits the scenario to the writing device 100 using Bluetooth or BLE. Since the scenario corresponds to a group of the lighting device 100 , the lighting device 100 operates according to the scenario or the control message of the control device without further manipulation by the user.

The embodiment of FIG. 6 may be performed before the user arrives at the performance hall. Alternatively, the embodiment of FIG. 6 may be performed when the user arrives at the performance hall.

7 is a diagram showing an embodiment of storing a scenario in various communication methods between a writing device and a communication device according to another embodiment of the present invention. Unlike FIG. 6 , the user can log in or input the seat number of the ticket, but this is done selectively. The communication device 10 requests the server device 20 to transmit the scenario (S75). Then, the server device 20 transmits the scenario to the communication device 10 . In this case, the transmitted scenario includes a plurality of groups of scenarios. When a scenario is produced for a total of five groups, all the scenarios of the five groups may be transmitted in S76.

Thereafter, multiple groups of scenarios are transmitted between the communication device 10 and the lighting device 100 using Bluetooth or BLE (S77). The lighting device 100 stores multiple groups of scenarios. Here, the communication device 10 and the writing device 100 may set a group based on the group information according to the ticket number or the user's login information. However, as shown in FIG. 7 , when the user tags the lighting device 100 to the RF tag 12 disposed at the seat of the concert hall or concert ( S78 ), the group of scenarios to be used by the lighting device 100 may be determined.

6 and 7 , the communication unit 160 of the writing device 100 receives the scenario from the communication device 10 , and the control unit 150 of the writing device 100 stores the received scenario in the storage unit 110 . do. At this time, the scenario is automatically activated when a specific time comes in interlocking with the RTC unit 180 of the lighting device 100 so that the controller 150 can control the light source unit 190 according to the contents instructed in the scenario. In addition, the control unit 150 may control the light source unit 190 according to a specific control message received by the communication unit 160 . Here, the control message may be received by the communication unit 160 once or the same message may be received repeatedly, because the control message may be transmitted in duplicate by a broadcasting method.

8 is a diagram illustrating a process in which a control device and a transmission device transmit and receive a control message and a relay device transmits it to a plurality of lighting devices using Wi-Fi according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The control device 500 is a digital device capable of communicating with an input unit and a display unit, such as a smart phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, or a computer, as an embodiment. When the control device 500 generates a control message and transmits it to the transmission device 51 through the Wi-Fi router 15, the transmission device 51 transmits the control message to a plurality of relay devices 91a to 91n. send. Each of the relay devices 91a to 91n transmits a control message to a plurality of lighting devices in a broadcasting manner that does not designate a receiver. In FIG. 8 , the transmitting device 51 and the relay devices 91a to 91n may be connected to each other by wire.

9 is a diagram illustrating a process in which a transmitting device and a relay device transmit and receive a control message using RF signal devices according to another embodiment of the present invention, and the relay device transmits the control message to a plurality of writing devices.

The control device 500 is a digital device capable of communicating with an input unit and a display unit, such as a smart phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, or a computer, as an embodiment. When the control device 500 generates a control message, the transmission device 52 for transmitting the RF signal transmits the control message to the plurality of RF relay devices 92a to 92n. Each of the relay devices 92a to 92n transmits a control message to a plurality of writing devices in a broadcasting manner that does not designate a receiver.

In the embodiment of FIGS. 8 and 9 , the control message may include content indicating a specific group. In addition, a specific group is not indicated, and content for starting or stopping a scenario or controlling on/off of lighting devices may be included.

Also, here, the relay devices 91a to 91n and 92a to 92n may be disposed in a spatially dispersed form. For example, when the space of the performance hall is divided into five, five relay devices 91a to 91n and 92a to 92n may be arranged to transmit a control message to the lighting devices arranged in each of the five spaces. In addition, when the relay devices 91a to 91n and 92a to 92n broadcast the control message, they can be transmitted according to a method of simultaneous transmission and a predetermined order between the relay devices 91a to 91n and 92a to 92n.

For example, in order to exclude interference of signals transmitted by the relay devices 91a to 91n and 92a to 92n in an adjacent space, the non-adjacent relay devices 91a to among the relay devices 91a to 91n and 92a to 92n. 91n, 92a to 92n) can implement a method of transmitting a control message.

In particular, since the signal transmitted by the relay devices 91a to 91n and 92a to 92n is a signal for broadcasting a control message, specific lighting devices separate the relay devices 91a to 91n and 92a to 92n for transmitting the signal. There is no need to differentiate Accordingly, the writing device capable of receiving all signals from the two or more relay devices 91a to 91n and 92a to 92n may receive all of them, since this is the same message.

Accordingly, the control device 500 controls the relay devices 91a to 91n and 92a to 92n to broadcast so that there is no crosstalk or interference on the signals of the relay devices 91a to 91n and 92a to 92n.

10 is a diagram illustrating a process in which a control device transmits a control message by excluding signal interference according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Even when the control device 500 transmits the same type of control message, there may be a slight time difference in the transmission of the control message in order to increase the reception efficiency of the lighting devices disposed at the boundary of each relay device 91a to 91e. . For example, in the non-adjacent groups 201, 203, and 205, each of the relay devices 91a, 91c, 91e transmits a control message at 19:15:51, and another at 19:15:52. In the groups 202 and 204 , the control device 500 or the transmission device 51 may control the relay devices 91b and 91d to transmit a control message. Also, in the process of repeatedly transmitting the control message, a time difference of 1 second may be provided as described above.

Through the transmission of the time difference control message shown in FIG. 10 , it is possible to effectively transmit the control message in a situation in which a very large number of lighting devices are disposed in a very wide space.

11 is a diagram outputted from the control device in a situation in which a control message is transmitted with a time difference as in FIG. 10 . The arrangement of the groups in the performance hall of FIG. 10 corresponds to it as it is. That is, the positions of the first to fifth groups of FIG. 10 are displayed on the display unit of the control device 500 . In each group, a scenario currently being performed is displayed, which may be displayed as text or a pattern of actual lighting devices may be visually displayed.

A state in which relay devices adjacent to each group transmit control messages with a time difference is displayed. For example, GR1/GR3/GR5 corresponding to the 1/3/5 group (201, 203, 205 in FIG. 10) is performing Scenario1 and “CM001_Sent” is displayed, indicating that the control message CM001 has been transmitted. can This shows that the corresponding relay devices 91a, 91c, 91e have transmitted a control message.

Next, GR2/GR4 corresponding to the second and fourth groups (202, 204 in FIG. 10) is also performing Scenario1 and "CM001_Sending" is displayed, which indicates that the control message CM001 is being transmitted.

Although FIG. 10 shows an embodiment in which one relay device is disposed in one group, the present invention is not limited thereto. This is because groups can be placed physically apart. Accordingly, the control device 500 may or may not reflect the location of the group in the process of transmitting the control message so that signal interference does not occur.

Fig. 10 is summarized as follows. The controller may adjust the control message transmission time of the relay devices based on the degree of signal interference of the relay devices. In addition, when transmitting a group of lighting devices adjacent to each relay device and a control message targeting these groups, it is possible to adjust the control message transmission time of the relay devices. For example, it is possible to instruct all relay devices to operate in scenario 3, if the start time of scenario 3 of each group differs by 20 seconds as shown in Table 2, When information is stored in the storage unit 510 of the control device 500, the control message transmission time may be adjusted.

GR Scenario Number StartTime Relay Number GR1 Scenario003 19:50:05 Relay 01 GR2 Scenario003 19:50:25 Relay 02 GR3 Scenario003 19:50:45 Relay 03 GR4 Scenario003 19:51:05 Relay 04 GR5 Scenario003 19:51:25 Relay 05

Since the start time is different for each group, even if there is enough time to transmit the control message, Relay01 transmits the control message first to avoid signal interference, and then has a time interval of 1 second or longer for Relay02, Relay03, Relay04 , Relay05 may transmit the control message. In addition, information on the possibility of signal interference of each relay device may be stored together. That is, information on the relay devices may be separately stored in the storage unit 510 to vary the transmission time of the control message.

Relay Number Neighbor_Number Relay 01 Relay 02, Relay 05 Relay 02 Relay 01, Relay 03 Relay 04 Relay 04 Relay 03 Relay 05 Relay 01

When Relay 01 transmits a control message, it can transmit a control message simultaneously with Relay 03, which is another non-adjacent relay. And, Relay02, Relay04, and Relay05 can transmit the control message at the same time. In order to provide a time difference between the control messages described above, when the control device transmits a message to the transmission device, relay devices to be transmitted are selected and these relay devices The control device may transmit their information together to the transmitting device. For example, when the control device transmits Control_Message1 to the transmitting device along with identifier information of the relay devices, the transmitting device may deliver the received message only to the selected relay devices. Thereafter, when the control device provides identifier information of other relay devices to the transmitting device and transmits the same Control_Message1 to the transmitting device, the transmitting device delivers the received message to the newly selected relay devices again.

In FIG. 11 , the lighting devices may be controlled by touching the display unit of the control device 500 to generate a new control message or to touch the corresponding group to stop the scenario of a specific group. In addition, according to an input of an interface unit such as a touch screen of the control device 500 , the control device 500 may generate a control message to control the lighting devices through the transmitting device and the relay devices.

In addition, an interface unit for adjusting the simulation time may be configured at the bottom of the display unit as shown in 301 and 302 . 301 shows the entire time flow. If the adjustment bar 302 is moved to the point indicated by +10 minutes, it is possible to simulate the state in which the lighting devices of each group operate 10 minutes later. And when the control device 500 generates and transmits a control message after moving the adjustment bar 302 to a specific point in the future (for example, +30 minutes), it operates at that point in time (for example, 30 minutes later) Generating and transmitting a control message to be performed is an embodiment.

When implementing an embodiment of the present invention, a message for controlling the lighting device in a space in which a plurality of lighting devices are distributed can be provided to the lighting device without time delay. In addition, a plurality of lighting devices operates according to a preset pattern or scenario and transmits a control message of a short size to these lighting devices, so that a control message of a relatively short size can be transmitted to the lighting device without a time delay. In addition, since the control message can be repeatedly transmitted, even in a situation where some writing devices cannot receive the message, the message can be received again.

In addition, when implementing an embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to reduce the mutual interference of the control message by setting a time difference in the transmission of the control message according to the physical location or the configured group of a plurality of lighting devices, and by repeatedly transmitting the control message All lighting devices can receive the message.

In addition, although all of the components may be implemented as one independent hardware, some or all of the components are selectively combined to perform some or all of the functions of one or a plurality of hardware programs module It may be implemented as a computer program having Codes and code segments constituting the computer program can be easily deduced by those skilled in the art of the present invention.
