[Prior Art] Various light sources are utilized for illumination or display. Most of the light sources are now incandescent and fluorescent. In recent years, LEDs have been used. LEDs have a long life and consume less power, so LEDs are more likely to be widely used in the future. Some of them are now also used in traffic signals or car backlights. In the display, the emergency light is once semi-permanently illuminated and less extinguished. This is necessary for accidents such as fires and disasters. Most emergency lights are installed in conspicuous places such as buildings, theaters, cinemas, hospitals, airports, and stations. Today's emergency lights are mostly used as light sources to use fluorescent lights. Under the emergency light, it is considered that the external power is cut off during a disaster, so that the internal battery is used for display in an emergency. In order to effectively utilize limited power, a fluorescent lamp that is superior in power efficiency to incandescent lamps is used. However, the waiter uses a light source with excellent power efficiency or reduces the maintenance cost of the light source that has been used for a long time. As described above, the LED is excellent in electric power efficiency and has a long life. However, it has not been considered to be suitable for use in an emergency lamp. For example, it is described in Patent Document 1 (Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. Hei 9- 1 90 8 4), and has a display during charging. Equivalent (2) (2) 1339030 An example of using an LED is shown, but the LED is not used as the main light source of the emergency light. Also, the emergency light that is generally provided is only visually displayed where there is an emergency or emergency stair. In addition, as for the information of the above-mentioned, it is described in the patent document 2 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. Hei 8-299475), and the guidance mechanism for the sound is provided, or is described in Patent Document 3 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. Hei 8-6703 ), radio broadcasters, etc. But the sound output is extremely power hungry. Therefore, at the same time as the visual display of the emergency exit of the first item of the emergency light, in order to perform such sound output, it is necessary to load a large-capacity battery, which is a disadvantage of being expensive and increasing the size of the device. On the other hand, the high-speed response characteristic of the LED enables high-speed modulation, and therefore, the use of the LED for optical data transmission is also performed. Using this point, we also know the idea of lighting and communication at the same time. However, the usual lighting fixtures are turned off when power is stopped during a disaster. Therefore, it is not possible to perform any use in an emergency, or to consider that the transmission system in an emergency is not constructed. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the invention is to provide an emergency light having a light source excellent in electric power efficiency and long life, and to provide such an emergency light source as a source of data in an emergency. Emergency light wireless data transmission system and emergency lights used in the system"

By suppressing the consumption of the battery by the high power efficiency of the feature of L E'D, it is possible to achieve downsizing of the device for miniaturization of the battery or long-term luminescence time. It also has a long life, so it can increase the maintenance interval of light source replacement, etc., and can reduce the maintenance cost. Further, the LED is excellent in the impact resistance, and provides an emergency lamp that can be used without damaging the disaster. In addition, in such an emergency light, a memory means for storing data stored in an emergency, and a light modulation means for controlling the amount of light supplied to the LED and controlling the amount of light emitted or extinguished by the LED based on the data memorized by the memory means are provided. And the composition of the data transmitted by light. As described above, the LED has a better response characteristic, and thus the modulation according to the data can be performed, and the light for display can be directly used for data transmission. With this configuration, an emergency light that previously only displays an emergency exit or an emergency stairs can be used as a source of information in an emergency. At this time, it is still possible to use the light source as an emergency light, and therefore, it does not consume a large amount of electric power with the light source as the sound output or the like, and the power consumption of the X light source can be performed. Therefore, in order to perform such a data transfer function, it is not necessary to reload a large-capacity battery, and it is possible to act as a source of information by being loaded on the battery for display. Further, there is a demodulation means for separating and transmitting data transmitted by a voltage superimposed on the external power source in a state driven by an external power source other than an emergency; and the data obtained by the demodulation means is memorized in the memory. means. According to this configuration, the data to be transmitted in an emergency can be transmitted to each of the emergency lights via a power line in an emergency. Thereby, it is possible to easily perform setting, updating, etc. of the data to be transmitted in an emergency. Moreover, the emergency light wireless data transmission system of the present invention belongs to the emergency light wireless transmission using the emergency light that can illuminate the light source without an external power source in the emergency when the -6 - (4) (4) 1339030 emergency is transmitted to the terminal means. The system is characterized in that: the emergency light has a battery, an LED as the light source, a memory means for storing data to be transmitted when the battery is urgent, and a data stored according to the memory means to control the power supplied to the LED and control the LED. a light modulation means for illuminating or extinguishing; the terminal means is a light receiving means for receiving light emitted from an LED of an emergency lamp and converting it into an electrical signal, and demodulating an electrical signal output from the light receiving means to obtain data Demodulation means. With this configuration, data can be transmitted to the terminal means from the emergency light by the light in an emergency. For example, in the terminal means, various information such as an evacuation route or a notification destination such as a map or an article of the floor can be displayed, and the evacuation guidance of the user can be smoothly performed in an emergency. [Embodiment] FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of an emergency light and emergency light wireless data transmission system according to the present invention. FIG. 2 is an explanatory view showing an example of an LED array as a light source. In the figure, 1 is an emergency light, 2 is a portable terminal, 1] is a battery, 12 is a switching unit, 3 is an LED array, 14 is a modulation and demodulation unit, 2 is a light receiving unit, and 22 is a demodulation unit. 23 is a display unit, and 3 1 is a cover. The emergency light 1 has a battery 11 as a power source together with an external power source, and has a switching unit for switching the power supply from the battery 11 when power supply from the external power source is stopped, similarly to the conventional emergency light. . In the present invention, as the light source for illumination, the LED array 13 is used instead of the conventional fluorescent lamp (5) (5) 1339030. In Fig. 2, an example of an LED array [3 shape] is shown. In the example shown in Fig. 2(A), the LED array 13 is provided in the lid body 3 1 of the pictographic literature or the like in the same manner as a general emergency lamp. In this form of the user, as shown in Fig. 2(B), the same rod-shaped LED array as the fluorescent lamp is used. For example, the LED elements can be arranged in a plurality of columns. Further, in the case of such an LED array 13, it is possible to replace the fluorescent lamp in the emergency light used in the general use with the fluorescent lamp as the second (B) in place of the fluorescent lamp as the direct current lighting. The array 13 can constitute the emergency light of the present invention. At this time, when AC power is supplied from the power line, the AC/DC converter is converted to DC and driven. Further, in the emergency lamp used for the fluorescent lamp for AC lighting, a DC/AC converter is provided in the LED array 13, and it can be used when the battery 11 is driven. Further, by using the LED array 13 having a shape instead of such a fluorescent lamp, it is possible to make the appearance without any change from the previous emergency lamp. As shown in the second (C) diagram, in addition to the configuration constituting the replacement of the previous illumination tubes, the display of the pictographs or the like formed on the lid body 31 can be directly displayed by the LED array 13. Composition. In the case of pictographs such as emergency exits, pictographs are generally formed in white and green. Thus, pictograms can be formed by appropriately arranging white LEDs and green LEDs. Of course, the LEDs are arranged in the same manner as the color display device, and the pictograms or the like can be displayed. Further, it is preferable to use transparency as the cover 31 at this time. Thus, as the light source of the emergency light 1, by using the LED array, the -8-(6)(6)1339030 LED has a low power consumption characteristic, so that the same lighting time as before can be achieved even with a small battery capacity. The battery 1 can be miniaturized, and even the emergency lamp 1 can be reduced in size, weight, and cost. On the other hand, if the battery capacity is the same, the lighting can be continued for a long time, and the display for evacuation guidance during a disaster can be displayed for a long time. Moreover, the LED is a long-lived one, thereby extending the interval of maintenance of the so-called replacement light source, or reducing the number of repairs and reducing maintenance costs. Of course, it is also expected to perform maintenance for the maintenance of performance such as the life of the dirt or the battery, and the lighting check at the time of the disaster. Moreover, LEDs have high impact resistance and can avoid light source damage in the event of a disaster, and it is expected to continue lighting. In the emergency light 1 of the present invention shown in Fig. 1, a modulation/demodulation unit 4, a data memory unit 15 and a light modulation unit 16 are provided. Here, data is transmitted to the emergency light 1 by means of a communication method using a power line of an external power source. The modulation/demodulation unit 14 is configured to demodulate the modulated data transmitted by the voltage superimposed on the external power source, and is stored in the data memory 15 after demodulation. For example, 'by sending a data to be transmitted by the emergency light 1 in an emergency when using a power line from a computer or the like, and sending the data to an emergency light via an external power source other than during an emergency] can be easily stored in the data memory. Body 1 5 . Further, various information such as the data stored in the data memory 〖5 or the state of the emergency light I can be changed and transmitted via the power line. Thereby, it is also possible to remotely confirm the operation of rewriting the data or confirming the emergency light. Further, when the communication in the two directions is not performed, the modulation/demodulation unit 14 is configured only as a demodulation function. Further, when the data memory is to be stored in advance in an emergency, the modulation/demodulation unit 14 is not required. -9- (7) (7) 1339030 The data memory 1 5 can store the data sent in an emergency. This information is worthwhile for the low-power consumption. Also, it must be made that the data that is memorized will not be erased when the power is switched. For example, it is preferable to constitute a rewritable ROM ’ or an invariant RAM. When detecting that the switching unit 12 switches the power source from the external power source to the battery 1 1 or the like, the light modulation unit 16 reads the data stored in the data memory J 5 in an emergency, and modulates and overlaps. The power waveform supplied to the LED array 丨3. Thereby, the illuminating light of the LED array 13 is controlled by the optical modulation unit 16 to control the dot reduction or the amount of light. This allows for the transmission of data by light. Of course, in addition to the emergency, the data stored in the -memory memory 15 is modulated and supplied to the LED array 13 for data transmission. At this time, the information that must be transmitted in an emergency may be different. The portable terminal 2 is a PDA or a mobile phone having a camera, and includes a light receiving unit 21, a demodulation unit 22, a display unit 23, and the like. The demodulation unit 22 extracts a data signal modulated from the output electric signal from the light receiving unit 21, and demodulates the data signal to obtain the data. The obtained data can be used for various purposes, but is displayed on the display unit 23. As a result, the data transmitted from the emergency light 1 by the light is displayed on the display unit 23 in an emergency. For example, a character or an image such as a map of an emergency exit or an evacuation route provided on the floor may be displayed on the display unit 23. In addition, voice information can also be transmitted, and if a speaker is installed in the mobile phone, the sound information can be simply obtained. An example of the operation and use of the embodiment of the emergency light and emergency light wireless data transmission system of the present invention will be described. In the emergency light 1, the data sent in the emergency is stored in advance for the data memory. As a method of the 10th (8) (8) 1339030, the power line communication is used as described above, and the data of the waveform of the external power source is superimposed and transmitted, and the modulated data transmitted from the external power source is obtained by the emergency light 1. It is obtained by demodulation, or it can be carried out by storing the data in the ROM or the like in advance, and then mounting the ROM as a data element in the emergency light. For example, a memory card or the like may be installed. In the event of an emergency, the light modulation unit 16 reads the data from the data memory 15 and modulates it, superimposing on the power supply waveform supplied to the LED array 13. The LED array 13 is driven by the overlapped power of the modulated data, and the LED array 13 is capable of emitting 'and controlling the amount of light emitted or turned off, and the light can be sent out by the light.> Further, the holder of the portable terminal 2 is By accommodating the carried terminal 2 toward the emergency light 1 in an emergency, it is possible to receive data transmitted from the emergency light by light. For example, when you are in an emergency, you don't know where you are. If you take refuge in an emergency light, you don't know how much you need to take refuge. However, in the present invention, from the emergency light, it is possible to visually (or sound, etc.) obtain the name of the building or the number of floors, the map of the floor or the map of the evacuation route, and then only a few meters to the emergency exit, etc. More detailed information that emergency lights cannot get. Therefore, some degree of uneasiness is alleviated, and evacuation can be performed more agilely. The portable terminal 2 is more battery-driven, and thus can be effectively utilized in an emergency. Therefore, by using an emergency light that emits light without an external power source in an emergency, and the portable terminal 2 that does not require an external power supply, evacuation can be smoothly performed even when the external power source is turned off in an emergency. -11 - 1339030 (9) In the emergency light 1 of the present invention, the electric power required for the operation of the optical modulation unit 16 or the like is required, and the electric power required for the operation of the electronic circuit portion is extremely small as compared with the electric power for the light emission. Therefore, even with such a light-transmitting data transmission function, it is almost unnecessary to enhance the battery 11' of the emergency light I, for example, compared with a configuration in which electric waves or sounds are emitted in addition to light, and it is not necessary to additionally provide a significant suppression of power consumption, or The means used to send the information. For example, infrared rays cannot equally avoid power consumption, and an additional transmitter must be provided. From these simplifications of reducing power consumption and the device, it is advantageous to use data transmission according to the light of the LED light source. Of course, the emergency light 1 is illuminated by the illumination of the LED array 13 in the same manner as a general emergency light to display an emergency exit or an evacuation route, and the situation in which the person having the portable terminal 2 is effective in an emergency does not change. In order to control the amount of light emitted or to be extinguished for data transmission, such a change in the amount of light is not felt by the human eye' and does not impair the function as an emergency light. As described above, the characteristics of the LED can be utilized, and thus it is possible to exhibit a function superior to that of the prior emergency lamp. Further, the data transmission according to the emergency light 1 is not limited to an emergency. The information to be stored in the data memory 15 can also be transmitted by light frequently. In addition, data other than the emergency data is stored in the data memory 15, and when the optical modulation unit 16 changes the emergency and the data is not in an emergency, the information such as the surrounding business district information or the message can be transmitted. To the portable terminal 2. The emergency light 1 does not go out once it is lit, and is constantly lit regardless of the day and night. Therefore, the user of the portable terminal 2 can frequently obtain information from the emergency light I. Moreover, as described above, the content of the data memory is rewritten with -12-(10) (10) 1339030 using power line communication, and the content can be updated frequently, so that the data can be immediately and immediately outside the emergency. The transmission to the portable terminal 2 illustrates an example of obtaining data by power line communication in the above example and a case where data is stored in advance in the data memory 15. However, it is not limited thereto, and various methods can be used as a method of feeding the data to the emergency light I. Fig. 3 is a block diagram showing another embodiment of the emergency light and emergency light wireless data transmission system of the present invention. In the figure, 41 is an antenna, and 42 is a modulation/demodulation unit. In the example shown in Fig. 3, an example is shown in which the external light is transmitted by radio waves and received by the emergency light 1 and stored in the data memory 15. The data received by the antenna 41 is demodulated in the modulation and demodulation section 42, so that the data is stored in the data memory. Receiving such information is done outside of an emergency. When it is not in an emergency, it cannot accept power from an external power source, and therefore can receive data according to such radio waves. Of course, when performing broadcast type data transmission, the modulation demodulation unit 42 may have only a demodulation function. Further, in addition to the radio waves shown in Fig. 3, data can be transmitted in advance using a communication line other than a power line such as an optical fiber or a communication cable. Further, by utilizing the power line communication that does not represent the figure 1, it is not necessary to separately provide an antenna or other electric continuation temple, and there is an advantage of transmission of acceptable data. (Effect of the Invention) As apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, by using the LED as a light source, the high power efficiency of the LED feature can suppress the consumption of the battery-13-(11)(11)1339030, and can be realized. The miniaturization of the device according to the size of the battery or the long-term luminescence time. Moreover, since the life is long, the maintenance interval for replacing the light source and the like can be extended, and the maintenance cost can be reduced. In addition, the LED is excellent in impact resistance, and can provide an emergency light that can be used without damage during a disaster. · The LED has excellent response characteristics, and thus can be utilized by controlling the point or the amount of light. As the source of the ray-based data. The emergency light is equipped with a battery inside, and it can continue to emit light when the power is turned off by a disaster or the like. By using this illuminating light, it is possible to transmit various emergency information such as the location of the emergency exit or evacuation ladder stored in advance in an emergency or the evacuation route to the emergency exit. The function of transmitting data does not require more cost than the case of separately providing a transmitting device such as a battery or an infrared ray, and does not cause more power consumption, and thus does not impair the use as an emergency. The function of the illuminated emergency light "In addition, once the emergency light is turned on, it will not be turned off semi-permanently, and it will be placed in a conspicuous place because it is not affected by the atmosphere or the season. Therefore, not only emergency information but also general information such as surrounding advertisements or notifications can be transmitted, and it is expected to be frequently used outside of an emergency, and the additional price of the emergency light can be increased. According to the present invention, various effects can be exhibited in this way.
