Description

Interactive lighting effect device and the development of the interactive lighting effect device Method of light effect pattern

The present invention relates to a method of arranging luminous effect patterns of interactive luminous effect devices; in particular, to a method of dynamically and interactively arranging luminous effect patterns of one or more interactive luminous effect devices located at an event venue. Generate dynamic and interactive glowing effects on a large scale.

Interactive luminous effect devices such as LED luminous wristbands are very common portable electronic devices, often used to achieve large-scale interactive luminous effects in various event venues, such as concerts, sports events, mass gatherings, church activities, Political gatherings, educational institution gatherings, etc., when the interactive lighting effect device operates under a coordinated lighting pattern, can produce large-scale continuous lighting visual effects. Radio frequency transmitters, light controllers, and proprietary control software installed in a laptop or personal computer can be used to remotely control these interactive light effect devices (eg, LED lights) Wrist strap, hand-held LED light stick).

The traditional method of programming or configuring luminous effect patterns and sequences for interactive luminous effect devices includes several steps, which require a wired connection (such as a USB cable) in advance before the interactive luminous effect device is transported to the venue location. A user who carries an interactive light effect device in a concert venue pre-matches seat information, and writes data related to the pattern of the light effect into the microcontroller (MCU) memory of each interactive light effect device. Therefore, in order to achieve The luminous effect performance of the entire event venue in the column must inevitably store a large amount of luminous control data in the MCU memory for matching a large number of necessary luminous effect changes. In addition, all the above steps for configuring the luminous effect patterns/sequences are usually carried out one by one for each interactive luminous effect device in the factory during the manufacturing stage/process of the interactive luminous effect device. A set of pre-programmed lighting effect data may include identification information for each interactive lighting effect device, corresponding pre-matched seat information assigned to the user carrying the interactive lighting effect device, and corresponding lighting effect pattern data (this is a A series of timed lighting effect data values, including specific lighting colors to produce corresponding lighting effects). After completing the above programming configuration of each interactive lighting effect device, they need to be transported or transported to the concert or event venue, and they need to be manually placed one by one on each designated seat position of each interactive lighting effect device , So it takes a long time to complete. For example, an interactive lighting effect device with an interactive lighting effect device ID number 2538491 is assigned to the seat of area number A, row number 2, and seat number 5, so it must be placed on that particular seat; Another interactive lighting effect device with an interactive lighting effect device ID number of 2538492 is assigned to the seat of area number A, row number 2, and seat number 6. In addition, any accidental misalignment or incorrect placement of any luminous effect device (for example: the interactive luminous effect device belonging to seating area B, row number 6, seat number 2 is incorrectly placed in seating area B, row number 7, seat number 2 Position), the visual quality of the luminous effect performance will be poor or deteriorated due to the occurrence of luminous color spots or abnormalities. In addition, since all the luminous effect pattern sequence data has been written into the storage of each interactive luminous effect device in advance during the manufacturing stage, and the configuration/programming of the luminous effect pattern sequence data needs to be performed under a cumbersome manual process Therefore, it takes a lot of manpower to complete it. Therefore, during the performance of the lighting effect at the event venue, any spontaneous or dynamic lighting effect changes cannot be realized or updated in time.

Jason Charles Regler et al., US Patent Application Publication No. 20140184386, disclose another conventional method for configuring a glow effect wristband, in which each seating area is assigned to a unique area address of the corresponding wristband, and the corresponding To program the wristband, To allow the lighting controller to configure the target wristband on a selective partition basis. However, the interactive lighting effect device (ie, wristband) taught by Jason Charles Regler in the above patent application still needs to perform the steps of pre-configuring or pre-allocating the unique area address of each corresponding wristband, and one by one The address is written into the memory of each wristband. In addition, it is still necessary to manually place the wristband near the corresponding area partition of the event venue (ie, a kiosk at a specific entry point in the corresponding area partition according to the area layout) to allow access via the Internet at the point of sale or at another point Programming. In addition, because the wristbands must be grouped according to a corresponding regional partition of the kiosk, when an event participant enters an entry point but wants to go to a different regional partition of the event venue, it will severely limit the convenience for the event participant to enter Sex.

Therefore, it is necessary to provide a more effective and flexible method and system for the dynamic configuration of the luminous effect patterns and sequences of the interactive luminous effect device on a large scale during the luminous effect performance at the event venue.

When the device QR code/barcode digital string match is found, the corresponding identification address data and its data content are written or copied to the second storage address (for example, the data content of "AACCBB" can be Hexadecimal) stored in the second storage address: "0x0A", "0x0A", "0x0C", "0x0C", "0x0B", "0x0B"). In step S54, the data of the first storage address (including the area code data extracted from the QR code/barcode of the event ticket) and the data of the second storage (including the device from the interactive luminous effect device The data content of the identification address data extracted from the QR code/barcode label) are combined or appended together to form a matching data in the third storage address, as shown in the example in FIG. 11. In step S55, a preamble, a header, and a cyclic check code (CRC check) are added to the matching data, and stored in the fourth storage address, and then used The wireless transmitter of the interactive lighting effect control system 10 broadcasts the data stored in the fourth memory address to the interactive lighting effect device through a plurality of first RF data bursts.
