The transmitting unit 130 sends control information to the lamp end, and in particular, transmits the control signal in a wireless transmission manner. The control unit 140 receives the control information and converts it into a signal suitable for controlling the luminaire. In particular, the control unit 140 receives wireless control signals from other devices to control the operation of the luminaire in a variety of ways.

As shown in FIGS. 7 to 11, there is an LED lamp control apparatus according to a second preferred embodiment of the present invention.

In the LED lamp control device according to the embodiment of the invention, since the LED lamp control device is completely independent from the LED lamp, and it is desired to control a large number of LED lamps through a single LED lamp control device, a large number of LED lamps are controlled according to the LED lamp The control of the device to cooperatively change the light display, the LED light fixture control device according to an embodiment of the present invention preferably employs Zigbee wireless communication.

Specifically, since the control signal transmitted by the LED lamp control apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention is used to control the LED lamp to change the light display, the signal does not need to contain a large amount of data content, and therefore, although the Zigbee wireless communication method has a low The characteristics of the data rate, but does not affect the control performance of the LED luminaire control device according to the embodiment of the present invention, and can take advantage of the low cost and low power consumption of the Zigbee wireless communication method.

In addition, since the LED lamp control apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention desires to control a large number of LED lamps through a single LED lamp control device, and the distribution of the plurality of LED lamps may be relatively disordered, the Zigbee wireless communication method has The support of a large number of nodes, support for multiple network topologies, low complexity, self-organizing features can better support the LED luminaire control device and the topology of a large number of controlled LED luminaires according to embodiments of the present invention. Therefore, even if the positions of the respective controlled LED lamps are different, the synchronization of the display lights of the respective controlled LED lamps can be ensured, thereby improving the performance of the light display of the LED lamps.

Therefore, although as described above, various wireless communication methods are available for use in accordance with embodiments of the present invention. The LED lamp control device, but the LED lamp control device according to the embodiment of the present invention preferably adopts the Zigbee wireless communication method, and with the technical solution of the present invention, the unexpected effect as described above can be obtained by using the Zigbee wireless communication method.

In the above LED lamp control device, further comprising: a power supply unit for supplying power to the audio signal acquisition unit, the processing unit, and the transmission unit.

For example, the power supply unit may include an alternating current-direct current (AC-DC) converter, and may include a transformer to convert the input voltage to a voltage suitable for each unit. For example, the power supply unit can convert a 5V AC input voltage into a 3.3V DC voltage and output it to a transmitting unit that is a Zigbee wireless transmission module.

The LED lamp control device further includes: a wireless receiving unit configured to receive a control command sent from the outside; wherein the processing unit is further configured to generate a light for controlling the LED light according to the received audio signal and the control command The control signal displayed.

The light display of the luminaire. For example, the control command can come from other users. When the user wishes to adjust the light display of the LED fixture autonomously, the control command can be used to achieve its purpose.

Specifically, according to the specific type of the user's control command, the control command received by the wireless receiving unit may be directly sent by the sending unit to the LED light fixture to control the light display of the LED. For example, when the user wishes to adjust the parameters of the LED display, such as the color, brightness, frequency, etc., which can be directly controlled, such control commands can be directly sent to the LED luminaire. However, in some cases, the user's need for a light display change of an LED luminaire may not be directly reflected as a change in the parameters of the LED luminaire that can be directly controlled. For example, users want to speed up the color conversion of LED luminaires with rhythmic audio, or to use a specific form of light display transformation depending on the type of audio. At this time, the processing unit in the LED lamp control apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention is required to process the received in combination with the user's control command.

The command is sent to the wireless receiving module. Thereafter, the LED lamp control device according to an embodiment of the present invention directly transmits the LED lamp control device to the LED lamp according to the specific content of the control command or sends it to the LED lamp after being processed.

As described above, the LED lamp control apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention can be completely independent of the sound system and the LED lamp itself, and thus can be manufactured as a stand-alone device. For example, an LED luminaire control device in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention can be fabricated as a portable light control box for use in a variety of application scenarios.

For example, the light control box can be adapted for KTV scenes: when the user sings in the KTV, if desired to be more entertaining, the user can use the light control box to adjust the KTV package according to the song being played. The light in the room is displayed, which significantly enhances the atmosphere. Moreover, the user can connect the light control box through the mobile phone, thereby further adjusting the light display in the private room according to the user's preference, which obviously has great attraction to the user.

Moreover, due to its portability, this kind of lighting control box does not need to be installed in each KTV room. For KTV managers, only a certain number of such lighting control boxes need to be prepared and needed by customers. It is rented out to customers or offered to customers as other kinds of value-added services. In this way, on the one hand, the user satisfaction is improved, and on the other hand, the hardware procurement cost of the KTV manager can be saved.

In the LED lamp control apparatus according to the embodiment of the invention, the processing unit may use appropriate software to generate a light display transformation for controlling the LED luminaire according to specific needs. Also, the software that controls the light display transformation is updatable. For example, users can get software by downloading from the network to get More lights show the form of the transformation. Users can also design their own lighting transformations for different audios to achieve a personalized custom lighting display. These can significantly enhance the functionality of the LED luminaire control device according to an embodiment of the present invention and improve the display performance of the LED luminaire.
