DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION: TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates generally to the field of illumination. More specifically, a lighting system has a plurality of light source units, each light source unit includes a smart controller and a central controller having a command signal to the light source unit, the system capable of generating variable colors Light. [Prior Art] A lighting unit (for example) for generating a light of a variable color is generally known, such as a lighting space. FIG. 1 schematically illustrates a lighting unit 100 of a known design, comprising a light source 1 〇 2, a driver 101 for driving the light source 1 , 2, and a local controller 11 for controlling the driver 101 Hey. The controller 110 and the driver 101 can also be integrated. The light source 1〇2 is capable of producing light of a variable color in the -color space. In a typical example, the light source includes a plurality of monochromatic light units, each of which emits light having a particular color, and the respective color units of the different light units are different from each other. Thus, all of the light produced by the light source is a mixture of light emitted by a plurality of monochromatic light units as a whole. The color of the entire light mixture can be changed by changing the relative intensities of the different monochromatic light units. The monochromatic light units can be of different types, such as, for example, TL lamps, halogen lamps, LEDs, and the like. Since the system for generating variable color light is known per se, a more detailed description and explanation of its design and function is omitted herein. However, the following comments. In the case where the light source comprises a plurality of monochromatic light units, it is possible to produce light units of the same color to increase (if desired) the intensity of the color. It is further possible that each controller 100 can control two or more drives 140574.doc 201007055. For example, 'changing lighting colors are used in homes, restaurants, conference rooms, streets, etc.' to create a comfy atmosphere, or for use in shops, etc., to create lighting that is adapted to show the color of the product. The color of choice - the color can be fixed, but the color can be changed in order for the viewer to achieve a certain pleasure, feeling, interest and/or artistic impression. In the case of a relatively large space for illumination, a relatively large amount of light source is required. This can be implemented by having a controller for controlling a plurality of driver/light source combinations, but such solutions have disadvantages. If you use the control to route the coupling drive to the controller, these wiring and wiring installations are highly responsible. If the driver is coupled to the controller via a wireless communication network, problems with regard to reliability, such as problems caused by signal interference, poor reception, data collisions, and the like, and potential problems of mutual interference of adjacent systems can be expected. In addition, if you use a battery-powered repeater node, extreme data traffic can quickly drain the battery. • A system design that avoids or at least reduces these problems is illustrated in FIG. The picture shows the kind of lighting system! The lighting system i comprises a plurality of lighting units 1 that are coupled to a central unit 4 via a communication network 3. The communication. Network 3 can be wired, but should be wireless, such as radio frequency (RF), zigbee · #. Each-lighting single woo has a design as described above, including its own end controller m; the fact that each lighting unit has its own intelligence embodied by its exclusive local controller 110, this feature is referred to It is "distributed intelligence." Each controller 100 is provided with an analysis blueprint memory (1) for storing a definition-color analysis blueprint (10). The color analysis 140574.doc 201007055 The blueprint generally means the color and intensity of the work as a time function. Those skilled in the art should be aware that the color of light can be represented by the coordinates of one of the color points in a color space. In this representation, the change-color corresponds to the displacement from one color point to another in the color office or the color of the system. In addition, a sequence of colors corresponds to the color in the color space. The point-set 'the set is indicated as a color path. Dynamically changing the color can be indicated as "traveling" the path. More generally, dynamically changing the color of the illumination can be indicated as "touring" throughout the color space. A color analysis blueprint can be defined as a collection of consecutive color points, but can also be defined as a function of a combination of description and green output intensity and a combination of travel speeds, which can be weird, but can also depend on The location of the path. Preferably, but not necessarily, the color space is defined by hue ^1, saturation 8, and brightness B. System 1 is capable of operating in two modes of operation. A first mode is indicated as a teaching/learning mode. In the teaching/learning mode, the central controller 2 communicates the data defining the color analysis blueprint to the individual local controllers 110' of the plurality of lighting units m and the local controller n stores the data to its associated analytical blueprint memory. In body 111.

A second mode can be indicated as an execution mode. In the execution mode Yin, each local controller U0 can independently operate 140574.doc -6 - 201007055 independently of all other local controllers to control its associated driver 101 (such as) by its own The blueprint memory U1 reads the data to execute the color analysis blueprint stored in the memory 1U. Therefore, the data communication system via the communication network 3 is basically limited to the teaching/study mode. In this case, the data speed is hardly a problem, and the controller can communicate with the local controller at a relatively low data rate. If a data error occurs, there is a agreement to detect and correct the errors. It is possible to pre-complete the loading analysis blueprint data to the unit 1 command. On the other hand, in the execution mode, the execution of the blueprint to be analyzed is not dependent on the data traffic via the communication network 3. US Patent No. US-A-5/0.275.626 discloses an illumination system having a plurality of illumination units, each illumination unit including a local end controller and a memory, and the illumination system further has one or more Central controller. Upon receiving a command signal, the local controller controls its associated light source based on the information in its memory. • U.S. Patent No. 2/6/32,065 discloses an illumination system having a plurality of illumination units, each illumination unit including a local end controller and a memory, and the illumination system further having a main controller. The memory includes at least one command file, for example, defining one dimming from 1% to 〇% in a pre-interval interval. Once the receiving-dimming command is received, the controller selects the corresponding command file and The associated light source is dimmed autonomously during the predetermined time interval. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The system disclosed in these documents can be adapted to control a large central location 140574.doc 201007055

However, problems arise when it is believed that the light sources should collaborate in a coordinated and coordinated manner. Assume that the street is illuminated by one of several hundred light sources, each light (four) having the same analysis blueprint stored in its memory, defining a closed path that continues to travel in the color space, thus (for example) continuously Produces blue 'green-yellow-pick-red-red_purple-blue. Each local controller uses timing information based on its internal clock signal to travel through the defined color path. These internal clocks have never been perfectly matched to each other, so, after a period of time, the resulting light-effect shirts are reconciled. For example, it may even be that at the moment when the two light sources should produce yellow, the light source produces red light, and the other light source produces green light. If the command file or analysis blueprint is only for a relatively limited time interval, then this The problem is almost * will be noticed, but it is unacceptable after an extended period of time. The US Patent Purchase _/G(1) side number describes that each light source should have an instant clock, but this will increase the cost. One of the objects of the present invention is to solve or At least reduce these problems.

Timing. Further advantageous explanations are mentioned in the subsidiary technical solution. [Embodiment] FIG. 2 is not intended to be used for explaining the operation of the system i according to the present invention: a sequence diagram. The drawing is not in the first time interval. The system is in the teaching/preparation mode. During this mode, the data message 21 is cut from the central controller to the local controller of the lighting unit (10) for storing a color analysis blue 140574. Doc -8 - 201007055 This is in the respective memory 111. The digital code implements this start signal after the first time interval. The system can be in a standby mode t during which the light source 102 is inactive or stationary, and the local controller is corrected to wait from the central controller 2 The start signal 22 can indicate the beginning of the execution mode by any suitable start signal 22. Once the start signal is received 22', the local control of the illumination unit begins to execute the color analysis blueprint stored in each of the memory (1) such as the basin. Repeatedly, the central controller increments the synchronization signal 23. These synchronization signals 23 may be simple pulses transmitted at (iv) time intervals (for example, per second - times), however it should be noted that the periodicity of such time intervals is not a requirement. Alternatively, the sync signal is heard as a more detailed signal containing time information. Each local controller 110 is provided with a local clock device 122, which receives the signal from a local system clock 121 (see Fig. υ based on the signal; the local controller UO is at its local clock) The number of times the analysis blueprint is executed is calculated based on the timing signal st of the device 122. Over time, between the time represented by the local clock device m and the time of other local illumination units (10) can be developed differently. One of the inaccuracies caused by the inaccuracy of the end system clock and the fate of the valley's cause the different analysis blueprints to be executed asynchronously. This is blocked because each local controller 11 is sent once the number 23 is sent - the command money w The corresponding material is used to adjust the timing of the time-of-flight device 122. This 'during the execution mode, there are only very few traffic on the communication network, so that data collision and the like are not expected. 140574. Doc 201007055 In the practice example, a color analysis blueprint for one of the durations including _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Assume that this analysis blueprint is instantaneous by the central government. Suppose that the continuation time of the analysis template is subdivided into consecutive time frames of (10) milliseconds (or other suitable duration) by defining three byte colores per time frame ^ Γ θ1 RGB or HSB. During the per-time frame, these three bytes define a constant $# during the frame period. # π B + ° The color form of the 对于 for instant signal transmission needs to be transmitted by the central controller via the communication network for 3_bits/sec. According to the present invention, the analysis blueprint duration of 3_sec can be subdivided into 1 time interval 'each time interval is 36 time frames. In each time interval, three color functions are defined, a color function tone, a color function saturation, and a color function brightness. The per-color function of the timing development (tnne devel〇pment) close to the corresponding color index (H, s, Β) during the corresponding time interval is defined by 6 bytes, and a bit 7L group defines the amplitude and five bits. A tuple defines the coefficient of a polynomial. Thus, the parent time interval must send 1 8 bytes. For each time interval and 100 lighting units, i 8〇〇 位 bytes must be sent. Suppose you need to transfer at a rate of 3,000 bytes/sec as above, and the transmission time takes 600 seconds (1 〇 minutes), which means that the teaching/learning mode takes 1 minute (and may take some time longer) Used for data correction). False 6 and the system clock has 〇. 5 % one error: no synchronization, then the analysis blueprints corresponding to each other may have a delay of 8 seconds after one hour. It should be noted that the higher the accuracy of the clock, the higher the cost is actually required. Assume that one of the maximum delays of 1 00 milliseconds (corresponding to a time frame) is 140574.doc 201007055 This corresponds to a 20 second exercise time. In this way, the execution of the central controller only needs to send a synchronization byte every 2 seconds, which can ignore the data traffic. The system provides a decentralized intelligent lighting system

The invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments; even, some variations and modifications may be made within the scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims. For example, it should be noted that with regard to the same analytical blueprint, the line mode and the teaching/learning mode are usually separated in time. However, when an analysis blueprint is executed, information about the next analysis blue (teaching/learning mode) can be received. Further, a plurality of analysis blueprints can be defined during the teaching/learning mode, and during the execution mode, the central controller can transmit different start signals to start different analysis transcripts. Although it is most appropriate to erase the color (4), this issue is not limited to the use of HSB space only. Similarly, the invention can be implemented using an analysis blueprint defined as a lookup table or a time gate function. In addition, a local controller can be designed to control the light source based on the deleted data, and the job data can be calculated from the deleted value based on a predetermined formula or on a predetermined lookup table. Although the present invention is most useful when the communication network 3 is a wireless network, the present invention may be implemented or also in the case of communication by a solid physical medium (such as a line, an optical fiber, etc.). Useful. The execution mode may be initiated by the central controller 2 in response to receiving a user command via the user interface uj or upon reaching a fixed time. The central controller 2 can also respond to a sensor (such as a motion detector, a pressure sensor, a presence detector, a proximity sensor, a temperature sensor, a light sensor). , a radio frequency identification (RFID) sensor, etc. - the trigger signal begins execution mode.
