In other words, the preset button can preset the corresponding light-emitting form. For example, the preset button can preset the color and the blinking frequency of the light to be emitted by the light-emitting device (for example, the light color is yellow and the blinking frequency is 5 Hz). When the preset button is pressed, the main control signal is generated, and when the illuminating device receives the main control signal, the set color and the flicker frequency (ie, yellow light and the flicker frequency is 5 Hz) is issued.

In one embodiment, the manipulation interface includes a display screen for displaying a light output form of the illumination device corresponding to the main control signal or the at least one sub control signal.

Thereby, the problem that the illumination devices of different structural aspects are not synchronized due to errors in reception or light-emitting processing can be avoided.

Please refer to the first block diagram, which is the system block diagram of the synchronous lighting control system. The synchronous lighting control system 1 includes a plurality of light-emitting devices 20 having a host 10 and a host computer 10. The host 10 includes a control module 11, a manipulation interface 12, and a wireless transmission module 13. The control module 11 generates a main control signal according to an input signal (which can be an external signal or a signal input by the operator). The main control signal includes variable parameters, wherein the main control signal can be used to control the illumination device 20 The variable parameter may be a parameter corresponding to the color, brightness, brightness or flicker frequency of the light emitted by the control device 20.

The control interface 12 includes a parameter adjustment unit 121, and the parameter adjustment unit 121 is configured to transmit a variable parameter between the plurality of positions to adjust the main control signal (that is, adjust the main control signal to control the light-emitting device 20). At least one sub-control signal is formed by the color, brightness, brightness, or flicker frequency of the light. In other words, the operator can adjust the color, brightness, brightness, or flicker frequency of the illumination device 20 by moving the position of the parameter adjustment unit 121. The wireless transmitting module 13 transmits the main control signal or the sub-control signal through a wireless transmission technology (for example, WiFi, RF, Zigbee, Z-Wave, etc.).

The light-emitting device 20 may be a fluorescent rod (as shown in FIG. 5), a strip light, a display screen, a light-emitting bracelet, or a light-emitting cap. The plurality of light-emitting devices 20 are communicatively coupled to the host 10 and disposed within the transmission range of the wireless transmitting module 13 of the host 10, wherein each of the light-emitting devices 20 includes a receiving unit 21, a driving unit 22, and a light source 23 (the light source 23 can be an LED) The receiving unit 21 receives the main control signal or the sub-control signal, and the driving unit 22 instantly changes the light-emitting form of the light source 23 according to the main control signal or the sub-control signal received by the receiving unit 21, so that The illuminating device 20 simultaneously changes the illuminating light. For example, the host 10 may first send a main control signal to the illuminating device 20, so that each illuminating device 20 synchronizes the main control signal to emit light, and the operator may then adjust the variable parameters of the main control signal through the parameter adjusting unit 121 to form a variable. Sub-control signal. At this time, the host 10 immediately sends the sub-control signal to cause the illuminating device 20 to synchronize the sub-control signals to change the light output form.

In this way, the operator can control and change the light-emitting form of the plurality of light-emitting devices 20 through the host 10 to achieve excellent lighting and visual effects, and the parameter adjustment unit 121 of the manipulation interface 12 can be instantly changed or Fine-tuning the technical characteristics of the partial variable parameters of the main control signal can achieve a more varied and detailed light-emitting form of the plurality of light-emitting devices 20, and it is easier to adjust the desired light-emitting form and effect.

Please refer to FIG. 2, which is a system block diagram of another embodiment of the present synchronous lighting control system. In this embodiment, since the light-emitting device 20 is generally in a movable type (such as the above-mentioned fluorescent stick, strip light, display screen, light-emitting bracelet or light-emitting hat), it is required to cooperate with the wireless transmitting module 13 in actual use. The transmission range. Therefore, in this embodiment, the host 10 can cooperate with a plurality of wireless transmitting modules 13, and the connection manner between the host 10 and the wireless transmitting module 13 can be a wired connection or a wireless signal connection according to the site design, and a plurality of wireless transmitting modes can be utilized. Group 13 is suitably positioned to cover all of the illumination devices 20 within the transmission range.

Please refer to Figure 3 for a plan view of the creative lighting control system applied to the performance venue. In the present embodiment, the front is the performance stage 30, and the auditorium 31 is divided into the ABC three areas. In this embodiment, the host 10 is disposed on one side of the performance stage 30, and the ABC three areas are respectively provided with a wireless transmission module 13 To ensure that all of the illumination devices 20 of the auditorium 31 are within the transmission range. For example, in the concert, the lighting device 20 may be a fluorescent stick that is issued to the participant. Under the control of the synchronized lighting control system 1 of the present embodiment, the fluorescent bar may simultaneously generate a flicker to match the on-site atmosphere.

Please refer to FIG. 4, which is a system block diagram of still another embodiment of the creative synchronous lighting control system. The input signal is the sound signal 15. For example, the host 10 can be configured with a sound sensing unit 14 to receive the above-described sound signal 15. In an embodiment, the sound sensing unit 14 may be a microphone, and the sound signal 15 may be a sound sung by a live microphone or a played song. In another embodiment, the sound sensing unit 14 can be an audio in module, and the sound signal 15 is a digital or analog sound source signal. The control module 11 generates a main control signal according to the sound signal 15. The main control signal can control the color, brightness, brightness, or flicker frequency of the light source 23. The sound sensing unit 14 can generate the sound according to the sound frequency, volume, syllable, and the like. For example, in the concert, the illuminating device 20 can be a fluorescent stick on the viewer's hand, and under the control of the creative synchronous lighting control system, the fluorescent stick can automatically generate the synchronized light changes in the whole field along with the music, thereby improving The overall performance of the event is a sense of presence.

As shown in Fig. 6, a specific embodiment of the creation control interface is shown. In this embodiment, the manipulation interface 12 is a dimming platform located on one side of the host 10. The parameter adjustment unit 121 of the manipulation interface 12 includes a flicker frequency adjustment unit 122, a color adjustment unit 123, and a brightness adjustment unit 124. The parameter adjustment unit 121 is a linear adjustment component. That is to say, each parameter adjustment unit 121 can be slidably displaced along a linear track to a plurality of positions according to an operator's force to respectively adjust the variable parameters of the main control signal. . The variable parameter may be the color, brightness, and flicker frequency of the light emitted by the corresponding illuminating device 20, and the swaying of the illuminating color adjusting unit 123 may adjust the color or color depth of the light emitted by the illuminating device 20. For example, the color adjusting unit 123 can respectively control the three primary colors (red, green, and blue) for the three linear adjusting members, so that the three linear adjusting members can be respectively moved to different positions to change the color or change the color depth (for example, The darker the color will move up, the brighter the brightness will be). Relatively speaking, the brightness of the control brightness adjusting unit 124 can change the brightness of the light emitted by the light-emitting device 20, and the sliding of the control flicker frequency adjusting unit 122 can change the blinking frequency of the light emitted by the light-emitting device 20 (for example, moving upwards) The higher the flashing frequency). In addition, in the embodiment, the brightness adjusting unit 124 can be integrated with the color adjusting unit 123, that is, changing the color or color depth of the light emitted by the light emitting device 20 through the color adjusting unit 123 also changes the brightness of the light.

It is worth mentioning that the frequency at which the wireless transmitting module 13 sends the main control signal or the sub-control signal is proportional to the blinking frequency. In other words, the faster the frequency at which the wireless transmitting module 13 transmits the main control signal or the sub-control signal, the faster the blinking frequency of the light emitted by the illuminating device 20. The reason is that the faster the blinking frequency of the light, the more easily the situation is caused by the error of the type of the different light-emitting device 20. For example, when the fluorescent bar and the display receive the main control signal or the sub-control signal to generate a blinking frequency of light, the time may be unsynchronized with the time of emitting light due to different display modes or internal configurations. This is more obvious for control signals with faster blinking frequencies. Therefore, the frequency at which the present invention transmits the main control signal or the sub-control signal through the wireless transmitting module 13 is proportional to the flicker frequency, that is, the faster the flicker frequency is, the faster the relative frequency is transmitted, thereby continuously re-correcting the flicker frequency to avoid the above. Unsynchronized situations occur.

In another embodiment, as long as any of the above parameters are changed via the manipulation interface, the wireless transmission module 13 immediately transmits the main control signal or the sub-control signal according to the parameter change. Therefore, the wireless transmitting module 13 continuously transmits the main control signal or the sub-control signal to transmit the main control signal or the sub-control signal. That is to say, the wireless transmitting module 13 continues to transmit to each of the light-emitting devices 20 without interruption, regardless of what signal is generated by the host 10. Therefore, it is also possible to continuously recalibrate the form of the emitted light to avoid the out-of-synchronization, that is, the wireless transmitting module 13 transmits the main control signal or at least one in response to the movement of the color adjusting unit 123 or the movement of the brightness adjusting unit 124. The sub-control signal, for the same reason as above, will not be repeated here.

As shown in FIG. 6, the control interface 12 includes a plurality of preset buttons 125 and a display screen 126, and the input signal is a preset button 125. In other words, the preset button 125 can preset the corresponding light-emitting form. For example, the preset button 125 can preset the color and the blinking frequency to be emitted by the light-emitting device 20 (for example, the light-emitting color is green and the blinking frequency is 10 Hz). When the operator presses the preset button 125, the main control signal is generated, and when the illumination device 20 receives the main control signal, the set color and the flicker frequency (ie, green light and the flicker frequency is 10 Hz) are issued. The display screen 126 can display the light-emitting form of the light-emitting device 20 corresponding to the main control signal or the sub-control signal, so that the operator can easily view whether the light-emitting form of the current light-emitting device 20 is the desired light-emitting form, so as to further carry out. Adjust the job.

In addition, the control interface 12 includes a plurality of control areas 127 (including the whole area, the A area, the B area, and the C area in this embodiment), and each of the control areas 127 is provided with the parameter adjustment unit 121 to respectively correspond to the control. The light-emitting form of a plurality of light-emitting devices 20 in different regions. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the auditorium 31 is divided into three areas A.B.C, and the parameter adjusting unit 121 of the operation area A can adjust the light-emitting form of the A-area light-emitting device 20 of the auditorium 31. If the parameter adjustment unit 121 of the B zone and the C zone is operated, the light-emitting forms of the B and C zone light-emitting devices 20 of the auditorium 31 can be respectively adjusted. The light-emitting form of the light-emitting devices 20 of the A, B, and C regions of the auditorium 31 can be adjusted by operating the parameter adjustment unit 121 of the entire area. Thereby, the light-emitting devices 20 of the A zone, the B zone and the C zone of the auditorium 31 can respectively generate different lighting effects.

Furthermore, the illuminating device 20 can be independently coded, and the control interface 12 is provided with an independent control area 128. The independent control area 128 includes an encoding input unit 129 (here, a plurality of input buttons) for independent encoding of the input. The light-emitting form of the light-emitting device 20 is individually controlled. For example, in the lottery event, the illuminating device 20 may be an illuminating bracelet or a styling cap worn by the employee. After the activity, the independent coding of the illuminating device 20 held by the winner (such as the product serial number and the serial number of the wireless transmitting module 13) is extracted. The operator inputs the independent code through the code input unit 129 to separately control the light bracelet or the styling cap to generate instant flashing light, so that the lottery activity is more interesting. In another embodiment, the plurality of illuminating devices 20 may also have the same or similar independent encoding (that is, the plurality of illuminating devices 20 are set in the same group), and the operator may input the independent encoding through the encoding input unit 129. A plurality of light emitting devices 20 in the same group emit light.

As shown in Fig. 7, another specific embodiment of the authoring manipulation interface is shown. The control panel 12a is a touch panel disposed on an electronic device (here, a smart phone, but can also be a tablet or a notebook computer). The electronic device is externally connected to the host 10 and can be connected to the host 10 For the wireless transmission of the signal and the data, the parameter adjustment unit 121 and the preset button 125 may be a slider or a button displayed on the touch panel, thereby facilitating the operator to adjust the light-emitting form of the light-emitting device 20 at different positions. In other words, the operator can move the position arbitrarily without having to operate the adjustment light on the host 10.

In summary, the operator can synchronously control and change the light-emitting form of the plurality of light-emitting devices through the creation host to achieve excellent lighting and visual effects, and instantly create an on-site atmosphere required for the activity. In addition, the parameter adjustment unit of the manipulation interface can instantly change or fine-tune the partial variable parameters of the main control signal, so that the light-emitting form of the plurality of light-emitting devices can be more varied and detailed, and the desired light-emitting form can be easily adjusted. effect.
