It is explanatory drawing which shows the relationship between the content of the operation performed to a dedicated controller, the operation signal, and the content of the process performed by the control part for illumination. It is a flowchart which shows an example of the process which the control part for sound performs.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a schematic block diagram showing a part of the configuration of the illumination device 1 according to the present embodiment, and the other configuration is shown as a schematic cross-sectional view. In FIG. 1, hatching indicating the cross section and the internal structure are omitted as appropriate.

The lighting device 1 is used by being attached to a power supply unit 90a (an object to which the lighting device 1 is attached) installed on the ceiling 90 of the room. The power supply unit 90a is configured by a hooking ceiling, a hooking rosette, and the like, and the lighting device 1 is suspended by engaging a hooking metal fitting of the power supply connecting unit 11 described later. The power supply unit 90a receives supply of commercial power from the outside and supplies it to the lighting device 1 via a hook. Supply / non-supply of power from the power supply unit 90 a to the lighting device 1 is switched by a wall switch 100 provided on the indoor wall 110. Therefore, the lighting device 1 is turned on / off by the wall switch 100. That is, the wall switch 100 switches the lighting device 1 on / off. The wall switch 100 may be any switch as long as it switches between supply and non-supply of power to the lighting device 1, and its structure and position are arbitrary.

The lighting device 1 includes a power supply connecting part 11, a hanging member 12, a lighting part 13, and an acoustic device 20.

The power supply connection unit 11 is a member that attaches the lighting device 1 to the ceiling 90 by being attached to the power supply unit 90a and receives supply of commercial power from the power supply unit 90a. The power connection part 11 includes a substantially cylindrical power connection part main body 11a and two claws 11b.

The power supply connection part main body 11a is provided with a hook metal fitting, and accommodates an adapter etc. inside. The user inserts the hook metal into the insertion hole of the power supply unit 90a and rotates the power supply connection unit 11 to attach the power supply connection unit 11 to the power supply unit 90a. When the hook is engaged with the power supply unit 90a, the power supply connection unit 11 is prevented from dropping and dropping. The adapter in the power supply connection unit 11 converts AC power supplied from the power supply unit 90a into DC power.
One end portions of the wires L1 and L2 are connected to the adapter in the power supply connecting portion main body 11a through respective connectors. The other end of the wiring L1 is connected to the acoustic device 20 via a connector. The other end of the wiring L2 is connected to the illumination unit 13 via a connector. When the wall switch 100 is turned on, AC power (commercial power) is supplied from the power supply unit 90a to the adapter of the power supply connection unit main body 11a. The adapter includes a rectifier, a smoothing circuit, and the like, converts the supplied AC power into DC power for the audio device 20, and supplies the DC power to the audio device 20 via the wiring L1. In addition, the adapter converts the supplied AC power into DC power for the illumination unit 13 and supplies it to the illumination unit 13 via the wiring L2.
As described above, the power supply connection unit main body 11a has a role of supplying the power supplied from the power supply unit 90a to the acoustic device 20 and the illumination unit 13 when the wall switch 100 is turned on. The wiring L1 and the wiring L2 are connected in parallel to the power supply connecting portion main body 11a. As a result, the power from the power supply unit 90a is individually supplied to the acoustic device 20 and the illumination unit 13 from the power supply connection unit main body 11a.

Two through holes are formed in the outer peripheral surface of the casing of the power supply connection body 11a. A claw 11b projects from each of the two through holes. In addition, it is not restricted to this embodiment, The number of the claws 11b may be three or more. Each of the claws 11b is urged toward the outside of the power supply connection portion main body 11a by an elastic member such as a spring inside the power supply connection portion main body 11a. The bottom surface of the tip of the claw 11b is formed in a wedge shape so that the tip is thin. For this reason, when a pressing force is applied to the lower surface of the tip of the claw 11b, the claw 11b is retracted into the power supply connecting portion main body 11a.

As described above, in this embodiment, when the wall switch 100 is turned on, power is supplied to the acoustic device 20 and the illumination unit 13 via the power supply connection unit main body 11a. And the audio equipment 20 and the illumination part 13 will be in the state which can operate | move. In this embodiment, when the acoustic device 20 becomes operable by supplying power, the power of the acoustic device 20 is turned on. The operable state includes a so-called sleep state, standby state, and the like, a power saving state, a standby state, and the like.
Similarly, the fact that the illumination unit 13 can be operated by supplying electric power is referred to as turning on the power of the illumination unit 13. Note that the operable state includes a sleep state, a standby state, and the like. In this embodiment, it is considered that the power of the lighting apparatus 1 is turned on when the power of the acoustic device 20 and the lighting unit 13 is turned on.

The suspension member 12 is made of metal, synthetic resin, or the like, and includes a cylindrical portion 12a and a flange 12b. The cylindrical portion 12a has a cylindrical shape. The flange 12b protrudes from the lower end (end portion on the illumination unit 13 side) of the cylindrical portion 12a to the outside in the radial direction (horizontal direction) of the cylindrical portion 12a.

The cylindrical portion 12a includes two through holes 12c formed corresponding to the positions and shapes of the two claws 11b of the power supply connecting portion 11. Each claw 11b enters each through hole 12c, and the claw 11b is caught on the inner wall of the through hole 12c. Thereby, the suspension member 12 is attached to the power supply connection part 11 so that rotation is impossible. Furthermore, the cylindrical portion 12a includes a through hole 12d through which the wiring L1 that connects the acoustic device 20 and the power supply connection portion 11 passes.

A plurality of through holes for screws are provided at predetermined positions of the flange 12b. The screw 19 is screwed into a screw hole formed in the top plate of the illumination unit 13 through these through holes. Thereby, the suspension member 12 is fixed to the illumination unit 13.

The illumination unit 13 includes a light emitting unit 131, an IR (InfraRed) receiving unit 132, an illumination control unit 133, and the like.

The light emitting unit 131 includes an LED (Light Emitting Diode) and its driving device. The light emitting unit 131 emits light (turns on) or turns off under the control of the illumination control unit 133. Further, the light emitting unit 131 changes the amount of light under the control of the illumination control unit 133. The light emitted from the light emitting unit 131 is emitted to the outside of the illumination unit 13. Thereby, illumination is performed by the illumination unit 13.

The IR receiver 132 receives an operation signal from the dedicated remote controller (remote controller) 200. This operation signal is a signal indicating the operation content of the dedicated remote controller 200, that is, a button pressed by the user. The operation signal is an infrared signal (IR signal). The IR receiver 132 includes an infrared photoelectric conversion element, converts the received operation signal into an electrical signal, and sends the electrical signal to the illumination controller 133.

The dedicated remote controller 200 includes a plurality of operation buttons to which instructions to the lighting device 1 are assigned, for example, a switching button 200a, an up button 200b, and a down button 200c. The switching button 200a is for switching the light emitting unit 131 off / on. The up button 200b is for increasing the light emission amount (brightness) of the light emitting unit 131. The down button 200c is used to decrease the light emission amount (brightness) of the light emitting unit 131. The dedicated remote controller 200 transmits an operation signal indicating the operation content indicating which button is pressed (see FIG. 3). The operation signal is a signal that varies depending on the pressed button. The dedicated remote controller 200 is a remote controller dedicated to the lighting device 1 that is sold with the lighting device 1 attached. Here, being sold as being attached is, for example, being sold as one package.

The illumination control unit 133 includes a microcomputer including a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a RAM (Random Access Memory), a ROM (Read Only Memory), and various circuits. The illumination control unit 133 controls turning on / off the light emitting unit 131 and controlling the amount of light emitted from the light emitting unit 131 based on the operation signal sent from the IR receiving unit 132.

DC power is supplied from the power source connection unit body 11a to the illumination control unit 133 via the wiring L2. The illumination control unit 133 is activated by the supply of electric power. The activated lighting control unit 133 supplies the supplied power to the IR receiving unit 132 when the IR receiving unit 132 needs to be operated. In addition, the activated lighting control unit 133 controls the light emitting unit 131 based on the operation signal. For example, the illumination control unit 133 switches on / off of the light emitting unit 131 by switching supply / non-supply of power exceeding a predetermined amount of power to the light emitting unit 131. Specifically, the supply / non-supply of power exceeding a predetermined amount of power is switched by switching whether or not the current exceeding the threshold necessary for light emission is passed through the light emitting unit 131. In addition, the illumination control unit 133 adjusts the brightness of the light emitting unit 131 by adjusting the amount of power supplied to the light emitting unit 131. Here, the illumination control unit 133 adjusts the brightness of the light emitting unit 131 by adjusting the magnitude of the current to the light emitting unit 131, for example. As described above, the light emitting unit 131 emits light by supplying power exceeding the predetermined amount of power. Thereby, the power source of the illumination unit 13 is turned on, and the illumination unit 13 performs an illumination operation. Here, the illumination unit 13 performing the illumination operation means that the illumination unit 13 emits light, switches between lighting / non-lighting, and adjusts brightness according to an operation signal.

The acoustic device 20 is a device that includes at least a Bluetooth (registered trademark) transmission / reception unit 21, an acoustic control unit 22, and a speaker 23. The acoustic device 20 performs a sound output operation for reproducing and outputting sound from the speaker 23. Here, “sound” refers to all sounds composed of sound, and includes music including a song, music not including a song, sound effects, and the like. The sound output operation is an example of a non-illumination operation that is an operation other than the illumination operation.

The Bluetooth transmission / reception unit 21 includes various types of transmission / reception devices including an RF (Radio Frequency) module for Bluetooth, an antenna, and the like. This transmission / reception device performs short-range wireless communication with the external device 300 under the control of the acoustic control unit 22 by a Bluetooth wireless signal (Bluetooth radio wave). The external device 300 also supports the Bluetooth system. The Bluetooth transmission / reception unit 21 performs pairing processing with the external device 300 that is a connection partner under the control of the acoustic control unit 22 as an initial setting for short-range wireless communication. Here, the pairing process refers to an initial setting process that enables Bluetooth wireless communication between the external device 300 and the lighting apparatus 1 (here, the acoustic device 20). The Bluetooth transmitting / receiving unit 21 can communicate with the external device 300 after executing the pairing process.

The external device 300 is a device that is separate from the lighting device 1, is outside the lighting device 1, and is not dedicated to the lighting device 1. Specifically, the external device 300 is not a dedicated controller for operating only the lighting device 1, such as a mobile phone or a tablet computer, but is a device that can be used for other purposes than the general operation of the lighting device. . The Bluetooth transmission / reception unit 21 receives audio data transmitted as a radio signal from the external device 300. The Bluetooth transmitting / receiving unit 21 supplies the received audio data to the acoustic control unit 22.

The acoustic control unit 22 is composed of a microcomputer composed of a CPU, a RAM, a ROM, etc., and various circuits such as an amplifier. The acoustic control unit 22 controls the Bluetooth transmission / reception unit 21. At the same time, the acoustic control unit 22 supplies an electrical signal corresponding to the audio data to the speaker 23 based on the audio data supplied from the Bluetooth transmission / reception unit 21. When this electric signal is supplied, the speaker 23 outputs a sound corresponding to the electric signal. As a result, the speaker 23 outputs the voice represented by the voice data. As described above, the acoustic control unit 22 performs a process (voice output process) for the voice output operation.

The speaker 23 has a sound emitting surface, and the sound emitting surface is exposed from the housing of the audio device 20. The sound emitting surface is directed, for example, in a horizontal direction or a direction inclined with respect to the horizontal direction. A cover that does not interfere with audio output is attached to the housing and covers the sound emitting surface.

The acoustic device 20 in this embodiment has a substantially cylindrical shape and includes a through hole, and a suspension member 12 is inserted into the through hole. The acoustic device 20 has a substantially donut shape surrounding the hanging member 12. The acoustic device 20 is placed on the flange 12 b of the hanging member 12. Here, the acoustic device 20 is fixed to the cylindrical portion 12a of the hanging member 12 by fitting or the like. Note that the acoustic device 20 and the suspension member 12 may not be in direct contact with each other but may be in contact with each other through a vibration absorbing member. Here, the vibration absorbing member is a member for absorbing vibration of the acoustic device 20 and is made of natural rubber, synthetic resin, or the like. For example, when the acoustic device 20 is fitted to the cylindrical portion 12a, the inner wall of the through hole of the acoustic device 20 and the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 12a may be fitted via a vibration absorbing member. For example, when the acoustic device 20 is placed on the flange 12b, the acoustic device 20 may be placed on the flange 12b via a vibration absorbing member.

DC power supplied from the power supply connection unit body 11a to the audio device 20 via the wiring L1 is supplied to the audio control unit 22 and the Bluetooth transmission / reception unit 21. The illumination control unit 133 and the Bluetooth transmission / reception unit 21 are activated by the supply of electric power. Thereafter, the Bluetooth transmission / reception unit 21 performs pairing processing and performs communication with the external device 300. Further, the acoustic control unit 22 controls the Bluetooth transmission / reception unit 21 or executes an audio output process. Thus, the power supply of the audio equipment 20 is turned on by the supply of electric power, and the audio equipment 20 performs various operations such as a pairing process and an audio output operation.

A method of attaching the lighting device 1 to the ceiling 90 will be described. First, the suspension member 12 is attached to the top surface of the illumination unit 13 with screws 19. Then, the cylindrical portion 12 a of the hanging member 12 is inserted into the through hole of the acoustic device 20. At this time, the acoustic device 20 is fitted into the cylindrical portion 12a. Note that the acoustic device 20 may be simply placed on the flange 12b. The member assembled in this way is called an assembly member. On the other hand, the power supply connection part 11 is attached to the power supply part 90a. The assembly member is held horizontally (the state in FIG. 1 is horizontal). Then, the assembly member is lifted in the vertical direction as it is at a position where the power supply connecting portion 11 is surrounded by the inner wall wall of the cylindrical portion 12a. At this time, the assembly member is lifted so that the position of the claw 11b of the power supply connecting portion 11 and the position of the through hole 12c provided in the cylindrical portion 12a are matched. Then, the claw 11b of the power supply connecting part 11 is retracted by the inner wall of the cylindrical part 12a. Thereafter, when the claw 11b reaches the through hole 12c, the claw 11b comes out of the power source connecting portion main body 11a, enters the through hole 12c, and is caught by the inner wall. As a result, the assembly member is attached to the power supply connecting portion 11. In this way, the lighting device 1 is attached to the power supply unit 90a of the ceiling 90 so as not to drop off from the power supply unit 90a.

Next, the operation of the lighting device 1 will be described. In the state where the wall switch 100 is turned off, commercial power is not supplied to the power supply connecting portion main body 11a. For this reason, power is not supplied to the illumination unit 13 and the acoustic device 20. The illumination unit 13 and the audio device 20 are powered off, and the illumination unit 13 and the audio device 20 are not operating. In this state, the lighting device 1 cannot accept any signal from the dedicated remote controller 200 or the external device 300 no matter what operation the user performs with the dedicated remote controller 200 or the external device 300.

When the user wants to operate the lighting device 1, the wall switch 100 is turned on. That is, in a state where the user is relatively close to the lighting device 1 capable of operating the wall switch 100, the state and environment of the lighting device 1 are visually confirmed. If there is no problem, the wall switch 100 is turned on. Then, the commercial power supply supplies AC power to the power supply connection unit main body 11a, and the power supply connection unit main body 11a rectifies and smoothes the AC power into DC power, and sends the wiring L2 to the acoustic control unit 22 via the wiring L1. Then, supply of DC power to the lighting control unit 133 is started. Thus, when DC power is supplied to the illumination control unit 133, the illumination control unit 133 is activated (power is turned on) and becomes operable. Then, the illumination control unit 133 executes the processing of the flowchart shown in FIG. The CPU of the lighting control unit 133 uses the program and various data stored in the ROM, and executes the processing of the flowchart shown in FIG. 2 using the RAM as the main memory. Note that the illumination control unit 133 ends the execution of the process illustrated in the flowchart of FIG. 2 when the supply of power is stopped. The illumination controller 133 first determines whether or not an operation signal has been sent from the IR receiver 132 (step S101). That is, in step S <b> 101, it is determined whether or not the operation signal is received by the IR receiver 132.

When the operation signal is received (step S101; Yes), the illumination control unit 133 executes processing according to the type of the received operation signal (step S102).

For example, as shown in FIG. 3, when the switching button 200a of the dedicated remote controller 200 is pressed, the IR signal A is transmitted as an operation signal from the dedicated remote controller 200. When the up button 200b of the dedicated remote controller 200 is pressed, the IR signal B is transmitted as an operation signal from the dedicated remote controller 200. When the down button 200c of the dedicated remote controller 200 is pressed, the IR signal C is transmitted as an operation signal from the dedicated remote controller 200. When receiving one of the IR signals A to C, the IR receiver 132 converts this signal into an electric signal. Then, the IR receiver 132 sends the converted signal to the illumination controller 133.

When the illumination control unit 133 receives the IR signal A converted into an electrical signal, the illumination control unit 133 turns off the light emitting unit 131 when the light emitting unit 131 is turned on. Specifically, when the light emitting unit 131 is lit, the illumination control unit 133 supplies the light emitting unit 131 with a current having a magnitude exceeding a threshold necessary for light emission. Then, when the light emitting unit 131 is turned off, the illumination control unit 133 supplies a current having a predetermined value (including “0”) that is equal to or less than the above threshold value. When the illumination control unit 133 receives the IR signal A converted into an electrical signal, the illumination control unit 133 turns on the light emitting unit 131 when the light emitting unit 131 is turned off. Specifically, when the light emitting unit 131 is turned off, the illumination control unit 133 does not supply the light emitting unit 131 with a current exceeding the threshold necessary for light emission. The lighting control unit 133 supplies a current having a predetermined value that is equal to or greater than the threshold value when the light emitting unit 131 is turned on. Here, the predetermined value equal to or greater than the threshold is, for example, the magnitude of the current that maximizes the brightness of the light emitting unit 131. As described above, when the switching button 200 a of the dedicated remote controller 200 is pressed, the light emitting unit 131 is switched on or off according to the state of the light emitting unit 131.

When the illumination control unit 133 receives the IR signal B converted into the electrical signal, the illumination control unit 133 increases the brightness of the light emitting unit 131 by one step when the light emitting unit 131 is turned on. Specifically, the illumination control unit 133 increases the magnitude of the current flowing through the light emitting unit 131 by a predetermined amount. Here, when the current flowing through the light emitting unit 131 is the current that maximizes the brightness of the light emitting unit 131, the illumination control unit 133 maintains the current. In addition, when the light emitting unit 131 is turned off, the illumination control unit 133 does not increase the magnitude of the current. Thus, when the up button 200b of the dedicated remote controller 200 is pressed, when the light emitting unit 131 is lit, the brightness of the light emitting unit 131 (the brightness of the illumination by the illumination unit 13) is one step brighter. Become. Further, when the light emitting unit 131 is turned off, the light emitting unit 131 is kept off. Further, when the brightness of the light emitting unit 131 is maximum, the brightness is maintained.

When the illumination control unit 133 receives the IR signal C converted into an electrical signal, the illumination control unit 133 reduces the brightness of the light emitting unit 131 by one step when the light emitting unit 131 is turned on. Specifically, the illumination control unit 133 reduces the magnitude of the current flowing through the light emitting unit 131 by a predetermined amount. When the current flowing through the light emitting unit 131 is the current that minimizes the brightness of the light emitting unit 131, the lighting control unit 133 maintains the current. Further, when the light emitting unit 131 is turned off, the illumination control unit 133 does not reduce the magnitude of the current. Thus, when the down button 200c of the dedicated remote controller 200 is pressed, when the light emitting unit 131 is lit, the brightness of the light emitting unit 131 (the brightness of the illumination by the illumination unit 13) is one step darker. Become. Further, when the light emitting unit 131 is turned off, the light emitting unit 131 is kept off. Further, when the brightness of the light emitting unit 131 is minimum, the brightness is maintained.

When the lighting control unit 133 turns on the light emitting unit 131 or adjusts the light amount in step S102, the lighting control unit 133 turns off the light emitting unit 131 or changes the light amount in the subsequent step S102. Maintains the magnitude of the current flowing through the light emitting unit 131. By doing in this way, once the adjustment of the light amount, switching off or lighting, etc. is performed, the state of the light emitting unit 131 is maintained until the adjustment of the light amount, switching off or lighting is performed again. The

The illumination control unit 133 performs the process of step S101 again after the process of step S102 when no operation signal is received (step S101; No).

By such a series of processes, the illumination unit 13 emits light as an illumination operation, switches on / off, and changes (adjusts) the brightness of the illumination according to the operation of the dedicated remote controller 200.

On the other hand, when DC power is supplied to the acoustic control unit 22 as described above, the acoustic control unit 22 is activated (the power is turned on) and becomes operable. Then, the acoustic control unit 22 executes the processing of the flowchart shown in FIG. The CPU of the sound control unit 22 uses the program and various data stored in the ROM, and executes the processing of the flowchart shown in FIG. 4 using the RAM as the main memory. Note that the acoustic control unit 22 ends the execution of the process illustrated in the flowchart of FIG. 4 when power supply is stopped.

The acoustic control unit 22 first sets a timer initial value to a predetermined timer provided in the RAM (step S201). The timer initial value is a value corresponding to the length of the pairing process execution period (for example, 10 minutes).

Next, the acoustic control unit 22 updates the value of the predetermined timer, for example, by decreasing it by 1 (step S202). Thereafter, the sound control unit 22 determines whether or not the timer value of the predetermined timer has reached a predetermined value (for example, “0”) (step S203).

When the timer value has not reached the predetermined value (step S203; No), the acoustic control unit 22 controls the Bluetooth transmission / reception unit 21 to cause the Bluetooth transmission / reception unit 21 to start executing the pairing process (step S204). .

The Bluetooth transmission / reception unit 21 establishes a connection with the external device 300 existing in the surroundings in the pairing process. At this time, it is assumed that the external device 300 is also in a mode in which pairing can be executed. The pairing process is performed according to the following procedure.

(1) The acoustic control unit 22 puts the Bluetooth transmitting / receiving unit 21 into a pairable state. Also, the external device 300 can be paired by the user.
(2) The external device 300 searches for the Bluetooth transmission / reception unit 21. Then, the external device 300 finds the acoustic device 20.
(3) The external device 300 and the Bluetooth transmitting / receiving unit 21 perform an actual pairing process.
(4) The user inputs the personal identification number of the audio device 20 into the external device 300. Here, the personal identification number of the audio equipment 20 is predetermined and is assumed to be known to the user. A connection may be established without this input.

The Bluetooth transmission / reception unit 21 continues the pairing process until a connection with one external device 300 is established or until a process of step S208 described later is executed. For example, before the process (3) is executed, the Bluetooth transmitting / receiving unit 21 continues to accept the search signal. Here, the search signal is a signal supplied from the external device 300 when the external device 300 searches for the Bluetooth transmitting / receiving unit 21. When the connection with one external device 300 is established, the Bluetooth transmission / reception unit 21 sends information indicating the establishment to the acoustic control unit 22. After the connection is established, the Bluetooth transmission / reception unit 21 can communicate with the external device 300.

After the process of step S204, the acoustic control unit 22 determines whether or not the connection with the external device 300 is established by determining whether or not the information indicating the establishment is supplied from the Bluetooth transmission / reception unit 21. Confirmation (step S205). If the information indicating the establishment is not supplied and the connection is not established (step S205; No), the acoustic control unit 22 performs the process of step S202 again. By doing so, the acoustic control unit 22 stands by until a connection is established by the pairing process. The acoustic control unit 22 may skip the second and subsequent steps S204 so that the start of the pairing process does not overlap.

When it is determined in step S203 that the timer value has reached the predetermined value (step 203; Yes), the acoustic control unit 22 controls the Bluetooth transmission / reception unit 21 and causes the Bluetooth transmission / reception unit 21 to end the pairing process. (Step S208). For example, if the processing in (2) is being performed, the acoustic control unit 22 causes the Bluetooth transmission / reception unit 21 to finish accepting the search signal. And the control part 22 for acoustics complete | finishes this process after that. Thereafter, the acoustic control unit 22 is in a state where it cannot be operated.

If the information indicating the establishment is supplied and the connection is established (step S205; Yes), the sound control unit 22 determines whether or not predetermined data is received from the external device 300 (step S206). ). Here, the predetermined data is data related to the operation content of the external device by the user, audio data, and the like. For example, when the Bluetooth transmission / reception unit 21 receives a radio signal of audio data from the external device 300, the Bluetooth transmission / reception unit 21 supplies the audio data to the acoustic control unit 22. Further, when the user operates the external device 300 and selects the sound reproduction by the acoustic device 20, the external device 300 sequentially transmits the sound data. Then, the acoustic control unit 22 sequentially receives audio data. In such a case, it is determined that predetermined data has been received from the external device 300. When the predetermined control data is received (step S206; Yes), the sound control unit 22 executes a process using the received predetermined data (step S207). Specifically, the acoustic control unit 22 supplies an electrical signal corresponding to the audio data to the speaker 23 based on the received audio data. As a result, the speaker 23 outputs the voice represented by the voice data. After step S207, the process of step S206 is executed. In addition, when the sound control unit 22 has not received the predetermined data (step S206; No), the process of step S206 is performed again.

Note that the predetermined data includes data for specifying the volume. In such a case, when the user operates the external device 300 and designates changing the volume of the sound output from the acoustic device 20, data specifying the volume is output from the external device 300 as predetermined data. . When the sound control unit 22 receives data specifying the volume from the external device 300 via the Bluetooth transmission / reception unit 21 (step S206; Yes), the sound control unit 22 can output sound at the specified volume. The amplification factor of the audio signal of the amplifier included in the acoustic control unit 22 is changed (step S207). As described above, the sound control unit 22 adjusts the volume based on the predetermined data transmitted from the external device 300 as a process for sound output operation (sound output process).

According to the above-described series of processing, in the audio equipment 20 of this embodiment, the pairing processing is executed for a predetermined time (here, 10 minutes) after the power is turned on. If pairing is successful and connection is established within this period, processing after step S206 (processing for audio output operation (audio output processing)) is performed.

And the audio equipment 20 waits until the predetermined data is received. Then, every time predetermined data is received, the processing of step S207 (processing for outputting sound and processing for adjusting the volume) is performed. The audio equipment 20 sequentially transmits the audio data and repeats step S207, so that the acoustic device 20 outputs, for example, one piece of music as audio.

As described above, in this embodiment, the acoustic device 20 includes the Bluetooth transmitting / receiving unit 21 and the acoustic control unit 22. Here, the Bluetooth transmission / reception unit 21 wirelessly communicates with an external device 300 that is not dedicated to the lighting device 1 and receives data. The sound control unit 22 performs a sound output process based on the sound data received by the Bluetooth transmitting / receiving unit 21. And the illumination part 13 and the audio equipment 20 can operate | move for the first time only by turning on the power supply by the wall switch 100, and the illumination part 13 and the audio equipment 20 (especially Bluetooth transmission / reception part 21). For this reason, the illumination unit 13 and the acoustic device 20 can communicate with the external device 300 only after the Bluetooth transmission / reception unit 21 becomes operable. As a result, the power is turned on only by the wall switch 100, and the power is not turned on by the external device 300. Such a specific configuration is not limited to the aspect of this embodiment, and can be implemented in an appropriate form. For example, the Bluetooth transmission / reception unit 21 may be configured not to accept a signal for turning on the lighting device 1 from the external device 300 in the first place. If the lighting device 1 (the lighting unit 10 and the acoustic device 20) is turned on by the external device 300, the lighting device 1 may be turned on by a user's erroneous operation. Further, there is a case where the probability that the lighting device 1 is turned on increases due to erroneous recognition of wireless communication between the external device 300 and the lighting device 1. Furthermore, for example, the illumination unit 10 and the acoustic device 20 may be turned on from an unintended external device other than the external device 300. In these cases, there is a possibility that a malfunction may occur due to the power supply of the lighting device 1 being turned on. However, in this embodiment, the illumination unit 13 and the acoustic device 20 are configured such that the power is turned on only by the wall switch 100 and the power is not turned on by the external device 300. The Bluetooth transmission / reception unit 21 and the acoustic control unit 22 are operable when the audio device 20 is turned on, and are not operable by the external device 300. Thereby, the malfunction which arises by the power supply of the illuminating device 1 being ON can be avoided.

In this embodiment, the Bluetooth transmitting / receiving unit 21 performs a pairing process for starting wireless communication with the external device 300 for a predetermined time (here, 10 minutes) from when the acoustic device 20 is turned on. Run until you reach. Then, the Bluetooth transmitting / receiving unit 21 ends the pairing process after reaching the predetermined time. The predetermined time may be set as a time when the user is likely to be around the lighting device 1 after the user turns on the wall switch 100. In such a case, it is highly likely that the external device 300 and the audio device 20 are paired by the user. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the acoustic device 20 from being unintentionally paired with another external device after a predetermined time from when the acoustic device 20 is turned on.

The present invention is not limited to the configuration described in this embodiment, and this embodiment may be modified. The configuration of the above embodiment may be omitted as appropriate. Although the modification of this embodiment is enumerated below, only a part of the following modification may be applied to this embodiment, or a part of at least one modification may be combined with another modification. Good.

(Modification 1)
In the above-described embodiment, the illumination unit 13 is described as performing illumination on / off and adjusting the brightness of the illumination (dimming) as illumination operations. However, the lighting operation is not limited to this, and may be an operation related to lighting. The lighting operation may include an operation related to the timing of lighting on / off. Here, the operations related to the timing of lighting on / off include, for example, turning off / lighting, setting of a timer related to turning off / lighting, and turning off or turning on lighting at the time when the timer is set. The operation includes at least one. Further, the lighting operation may include an operation of changing the lighting state. Here, the operation of changing the state of the illumination is an operation including at least one of, for example, dimming, blinking the illumination, and changing the color of the illumination. Moreover, in the said embodiment, the audio equipment 20 which performs audio | voice output operation (operation | movement of audio | voice reproduction | regeneration output) is illustrated as an electronic device which performs non-illumination operation | movement other than illumination operation. The electronic device is not limited to this, and may be another device as long as it performs a non-illumination operation. The non-illumination operation may be an operation not related to illumination, and may be an operation other than the illumination operation. For example, the electronic device may be a projector that performs an operation of projecting an image on a wall as a non-illumination operation. The acoustic control unit 22 may be a process execution unit that executes a process for an operation of projecting an image on a wall.

(Modification 2)
For example, the power source of the illumination unit 10 and the power source of the audio device 20 may be turned on by the dedicated remote controller 200 and operated. For example, a power button is provided on the dedicated remote controller 200. Then, the power button is pressed and the operation signal is supplied. Thereby, the illumination unit 10 and the audio device 20 may operate, and the power of the illumination unit 10 and the audio device 20 may be turned on. Thus, the power source of the illumination unit 10 and the power source of the audio device 20 may be configured to be turned on by the dedicated operation unit of the lighting device 1. The dedicated operation unit (dedicated operation unit) of the illumination device 1 may be an operation unit that cannot be used for devices other than the illumination device 1. Note that the dedicated operation unit may be usable for another lighting device of the same type as the certain lighting device 1. Here, the other types of lighting devices of the same type may be, for example, those of the same model number or of the same type with different colors and shapes. That is, the term “dedicated” includes the concept of exclusive use in the sense that it can be used only for the same type of illumination device, in addition to the meaning of exclusive use for a certain illumination device. Specifically, for example, two or more similar types of lighting devices 1 may be operated by one dedicated operation unit. For example, when the dedicated operation unit is the dedicated remote controller 200, the operation may be performed sequentially by switching channels or the like instead of simultaneously. In such a case, the dedicated remote controller 200 only needs to be a “dedicated” lighting device, and may not be sold together with the lighting device. The dedicated operation unit may be an operation unit of a power button for turning on the power of the lighting device 1 (the lighting unit 10 and the audio device 20). Here, the power button may be provided in each of the illumination unit 10 and the acoustic device 20, or one common power button may be provided.

(Modification 3)
For example, the acoustic control unit 22 may be controlled by the illumination control unit 133. When the illumination unit 13 is turned on, the illumination control unit 133 controls the acoustic control unit 22 to activate the acoustic control unit 22. Thereby, the power source of the acoustic device 20 may be turned on.

Also, a semiconductor switch such as a field effect transistor (FET) may be provided between the acoustic control unit 22 and the Bluetooth transmission / reception unit 21 and the wiring L1. When the illumination unit 13 is turned on, the illumination control unit 133 supplies an ON signal for turning on the semiconductor switch to the semiconductor switch. As a result, power is supplied to the acoustic control unit 22 and the Bluetooth transmission / reception unit 21. In this way, the power of the acoustic device 20 may be turned on.

Furthermore, the wiring L1 may be omitted, and the lighting control unit 133 and the like and the acoustic device 20 may be connected via a power line. When the illumination unit 13 is turned on, the illumination control unit 133 starts supplying power to the acoustic device 20 (the acoustic control unit 22 and the Bluetooth transmitting / receiving unit 21), and the acoustic device 20 is turned on. You may make it do.

As illustrated in the above embodiment, the illumination unit 13 is operable based on an operation on a dedicated operation unit (dedicated operation unit) of the illumination device 1 such as the wall switch 100 and the dedicated remote controller 200 (power supply). May be turned on). The acoustic device 20 may be operable (the power is turned on) based on the lighting unit 13 being turned on.

(Modification 4)
The light emission part 131 may be comprised with light emitting elements, such as organic EL (Electro Luminescence) other than LED.

(Modification 5)
The acoustic device 20 (electronic device) and the external device 300 only need to be able to perform wireless communication. The Bluetooth transmission / reception unit 21 may be changed to another wireless communication unit that wirelessly communicates with the external device 300 and receives data. The wireless communication is preferably short-range wireless communication. The wireless communication standard may be a standard other than Bluetooth, which is an example of a short-range wireless communication standard.

(Modification 6)
In the said embodiment, the illumination part 13 and the audio equipment 20 (electronic device) have a different housing | casing, and are comprised as a separate apparatus. However, the lighting unit 13 and the acoustic device 20 (electronic device) may be housed in one housing and may be components of one device. In such a case, the one device may be directly attached to the power supply unit 90a. The illuminating device 1 should just be provided with the illumination part 13 and the audio equipment 20 (electronic device). And the power supply connection part 11 and the suspension member 12 do not need to be provided. Even in such a case, for example, a connection part with the power supply part 90a may be provided. Moreover, the illuminating device 1 may be attached to any part other than the power supply part 90a of the ceiling 90. FIG. For example, the illumination device 1 may be attached to a portion other than the power supply unit 90a so as to be driven by a battery or the like. Moreover, the illuminating device 1 may be a type placed on a floor or a table. In this case, the power source may be secured by an outlet or the like, or the power source may be secured by a battery or the like. Furthermore, a common member (device or the like) may be used for the component (component) of the illumination unit 13 and the component (component) of the audio device 20. For example, a part that executes at least a part of the process performed by the acoustic control unit 22 and a part that executes at least a part of the process performed by the illumination control unit 133 are realized by a common microcomputer or the like. Also good. For example, the acoustic control unit 22 and the illumination control unit 133 may be realized by a single microcomputer that executes the processing of the acoustic control unit 22 and the processing of the illumination control unit 133. In such a case, the illumination unit 13 and the acoustic device 20 (electronic device) are simultaneously turned on. Further, a part that executes at least a part of the process performed by the acoustic control unit 22 and a part that executes at least a part of the process performed by the Bluetooth transmission / reception unit 21 may be realized by a common microcomputer or the like. Good.

(Modification 7)
In the above-described embodiment, the pairing process is executed only during a predetermined period immediately after the audio device 20 is turned on. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the pairing process may be executed at an appropriate timing according to an instruction from the user or the like even after the predetermined period has elapsed. For example, the acoustic control unit 22 can be controlled by the illumination control unit 133. Further, a pairing instruction button is provided on the dedicated remote controller 200. The pairing instruction button is pressed, and the operation signal is supplied to the illumination control unit 133. Then, the illumination control unit 133 supplies a signal instructing pairing to the acoustic control unit 22 based on the operation signal. When the sound control unit 22 receives this signal, the sound control unit 22 may perform pairing processing in a predetermined period. The predetermined period may be the above-mentioned 10 minutes or another time. By doing in this way, even if it is a case where pairing fails, a pairing process can be performed again.

(Modification 8)
In the above-described embodiment, the power supply of the illumination unit 13 and the power supply of the acoustic device 20 (electronic device) cannot be turned on and off from the external device 300. However, the lighting device 1 may be configured so that the external device 300 can only turn off the power.

(Modification 9)
The illuminating unit 13 of the illuminating device 1 may perform operations other than turning on the power (such as dimming and timer setting) based on an operation on the external device 300. For example, when an operation for instructing the external device 300 to perform dimming or the like is performed by the user, the external device 300 transmits information representing this operation to the Bluetooth transmitting / receiving unit 21. The Bluetooth transmitting / receiving unit 21 supplies the received information to the illumination control unit 133 or to the illumination control unit 133 via the acoustic control unit 22. The illumination control unit 133 performs processing (such as dimming) according to the operation represented by the supplied information. At this time, power is supplied to the illumination unit 13 and the illumination unit 13 is turned off. At this time, the lighting unit 13 is turned on by the lighting control unit 133 when the Bluetooth transmission / reception unit 21 receives information indicating the operation of the lighting instruction from the external device 300. Here, the lighting enabled state is a dimming state where the brightness is 0%. The dimming state where the brightness is 100% is a state where the brightness is maximum. At this time, when the Bluetooth transmitting / receiving unit 21 receives information representing an operation for instructing dimming to brighten the illumination from the external device 300, the lighting unit 13 is brightened by dimming by the lighting control unit 133. As a result, the lighting is enabled. The state before the lighting enabled state is an example of a sleep state or a standby state. In such a state, the illumination unit 13 is powered on. Similarly, power is supplied to the acoustic device 20 (electronic device), and when the Bluetooth transmitting / receiving unit 21 receives some information, the acoustic control unit 22 is immediately activated and processing according to the received information. It may be configured to be in a state where it can execute (sound output processing or the like). Before the Bluetooth transmission / reception unit 21 receives the above information, the acoustic control unit 22 is in a standby state in which it is not operating. Such a state is an example of a sleep state or a standby state. In such a state, the audio device 20 is powered on.
