Third Embodiment

As shown in FIG. 3, the smart lighting apparatus 100 according to the third embodiment of the present invention may control lighting colors, lighting brightness, and the like according to an external environment to provide customized lighting considering user's emotion. Can be.

To this end, the lighting control unit of the smart lighting device 100 may receive at least one information of the air temperature, humidity, current time, sunshine, noise, body temperature from a plurality of sensors attached to the outside. That is, in order to implement emotional lighting according to the surrounding environment, the surrounding environment where the lighting is installed must be sensed more accurately, so that the user can collect the surrounding environment information through various sensors.

For example, since the air temperature sensor and the humidity sensor may collect external weather information such as sunny days, cloudy days, rainy days, and snowy days, the light control unit may illuminate a bright atmosphere on a sunny day, and have a moody atmosphere on a rainy day. By producing the lighting color, it is possible to provide lighting that matches the user's emotion.

In addition, by matching the information received from the various sensors with the pre-stored emotion mode DB, it is possible to irradiate light after determining the illumination intensity, illumination color, blinking and irradiation time according to the matching emotion mode. That is, in the emotional mode DB, various emotional modes (ex. 100 levels) are prepared according to conditions such as air temperature, humidity, current time, sunshine, noise, and the like. After extracting the emotion mode corresponding to the current sensor value (step 15), a preset illumination color, illumination brightness, etc. may be provided for the emotion mode.

That is, in the embodiment of the present invention, by using various sensor values such as air temperature, humidity, current time, sunshine, noise, and user body temperature in the image capturing space at the same time, more detailed and accurate user emotions can be extracted. It has the advantage of controlling the lighting with various step settings.

Fourth Example

That is, in the fourth embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of objects included in the image may be extracted by analyzing the image photographed by the camera unit 110. The extracted object is provided to the user, and the user may select an object for tracking shooting through the external terminal 200 or the like.

Afterwards, the tracking control unit (not shown) may track the selected object through the camera rotation and zoom function through the pan, tilt, and zoom functions even if the object selected by the user moves.

As an example of the tracking method, the tracking control unit (not shown) may use a method of controlling the rotation of the camera so that the extracted center point or feature point matches the center point of the camera by extracting the center point or feature point of the selected object.

More specifically, when the object selected by the user is a newborn baby in the newborn room, the tracking control unit extracts a feature point (ex. Nose) of the newborn, and then the camera corresponds to the movement of the newborn so that the nose of the newborn is positioned at the center of the camera. You can rotate to track the shot.

That is, in such a case, the tracking shooting may be performed only on the object of interest to the user in the desired shooting area, thereby eliminating unnecessary image shooting and providing a customized shooting image that meets the user's needs.

In another embodiment of the present invention, a warning is sent to a user, an emergency contact, etc. when a preset emergency (eg, smoke sensor value is greater than a preset value or an external user shot that is not stored) occurs within a time range set by the user. Therefore, it is possible to take a picture more suitable for the user's convenience.

For example, if the smoke sensor value is detected above the preset value in the time zone set by the user, it is assumed that a fire has occurred, it is possible to send a warning alarm, warning message, etc. to the user, emergency contact, etc. The lighting may also be controlled to make it easier for the user to recognize.
