(Embodiment)
[composition]
First, the configuration of the lighting system according to the embodiment will be described. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration of a lighting system according to an embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the lighting system 100 includes a plurality of lighting fixtures 10, a lighting controller 20, and an information terminal 30. The lighting system 100 may include a plurality of lighting controllers 20.

First, the lighting fixture 10 will be described. The lighting fixture 10 is a base light or the like installed on the ceiling of the indoor space to illuminate the indoor space, and the light emission is controlled by the lighting controller 20. The communication between the lighting fixture 10 and the lighting controller 20 is, for example, wireless communication, but may be wired communication. The mode of the lighting fixture 10 is not particularly limited, and may be a ceiling light, a downlight, a spotlight, or the like.

Next, the lighting controller 20 will be described. The lighting controller 20 emits light of at least a part of the plurality of lighting equipment 10 by transmitting a control command to at least a part of the plurality of lighting equipment 10 based on the user's operation performed on the information terminal 30. Take control. Specifically, the lighting controller 20 controls the light emission of at least a part of the plurality of lighting fixtures 10 based on the control instruction signal received from the information terminal 30. The light emission control here includes lighting control, extinguishing control, dimming control, toning control, and the like. The communication between the lighting controller 20 and the lighting fixture 10 is, for example, wireless communication (more specifically, radio wave communication).

Next, the configuration of the information terminal 30 will be described. The information terminal 30 accepts the user's operation and transmits a control command to the lighting controller 20 according to the accepted operation. The information terminal 30 is, for example, a smartphone, a tablet terminal, or a mobile terminal such as a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant). Further, the information terminal 30 may be a dedicated remote controller used in the lighting system 100. The information terminal 30 includes an operation reception unit 31, a display unit 32, a wireless communication unit 33, a control unit 34, a storage unit 35, an acceleration sensor 36, a camera 37, and a microphone 38.

The microphone 38 acquires voice and outputs a voice signal according to the acquired voice. Specifically, the microphone 38 is a condenser microphone, a dynamic microphone, a MEMS microphone, or the like.

[Initial setting operation]
Next, the initial setting operation of the lighting system 100 will be described. FIG. 2 is a sequence diagram of the initial setting operation of the lighting system 100. The initial setting operation of FIG. 2 is performed, for example, after a plurality of lighting fixtures 10 are installed on the ceiling by the installer. The installer is an example of a user.

First, the operation reception unit 31 of the information terminal 30 receives a start operation instructing the start of the initial setting operation (S11). The operation reception unit 31 receives, for example, a start operation from the installer.

The control unit 34 displays the initial setting screen including the map image on the display unit 32 based on the start operation received by the operation reception unit 31 (S12). FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of the initial setting screen. The map image 32m is a view seen from the upper surface of the area where the plurality of lighting fixtures 10 are installed, and in the example of FIG. 3, the installation positions P1 to P6 of the lighting fixtures are indicated by circles. That is, the map image 32m is an image showing the installation positions of the plurality of lighting fixtures 10. The plurality of icons 32a on the initial setting screen of FIG. 3 are not actually displayed at the time of step S12, but are displayed in step S17 described later.

Further, the control unit 34 causes the wireless communication unit 33 to transmit a request for a MAC (Media Access Control) address based on the start operation received by the operation reception unit 31 (S13). The request for the MAC address is broadcasted by the lighting controller 20 to the plurality of lighting fixtures 10 (S14).

When each of the plurality of luminaires 10 receives the request for the MAC address, it transmits the MAC address of the luminaire as a response to the request (S15). The MAC address is relayed by the lighting controller 20 and acquired by the wireless communication unit 33 (S16). The acquired MAC address is stored in the storage unit 35.

When a plurality of MAC addresses are acquired by the wireless communication unit 33, the control unit 34 displays a plurality of icons 32a corresponding to the plurality of MAC addresses on the initial setting screen on the display unit 32 (S17). The plurality of icons 32a are icons to be operated by the installer in order for the installer to select a plurality of MAC addresses.

Next, the operation reception unit 31 accepts a selection operation of a plurality of icons 32a (S18). The selection operation is, for example, a tap operation to any one of the plurality of icons 32a. The control unit 34 causes the wireless communication unit 33 to transmit a blinking command based on the selection operation received by the operation reception unit 31 (S19). In the blinking command, the MAC address corresponding to the selected icon 32a is specified. The blinking command is a signal for selectively blinking the lighting fixture 10 having the MAC address among the plurality of lighting fixtures 10. The blinking command is relayed by the lighting controller 20 and received by each of the plurality of lighting fixtures 10 (S20).

Of the plurality of lighting fixtures 10, the lighting fixture 10 having the MAC address specified by the blinking command (that is, the lighting fixture 10 subject to the blinking command) blinks when the blinking command is received (S21).

The installer operating the information terminal 30 visually confirms the actual installation position of the blinking luminaire 10 (S22), and the installation position of the blinking luminaire 10 on the map image 32 m ( For example, one of the installation positions P1 to P6) is selected. The operation reception unit 31 accepts the installer to select the installation position of the lighting fixture 10 in the map image 32 m (S23). Then, the control unit 34 stores the MAC address indicated by the icon 32a selected in step S18 in the storage unit 35 in association with the installation position selected in step S23 (S24). Further, the control unit 34 cancels the display of the icon 32a for which the association has been completed (S25). That is, the number of the plurality of icons 32a displayed in step S17 is reduced by one.

The processes of steps S18 to S25 are repeated until the association between all the icons 32a (MAC addresses) and the installation positions is completed. As a result, the storage unit 35 stores the correspondence information indicating the correspondence relationship between the MAC addresses of the plurality of lighting fixtures 10 and their installation positions. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of correspondence information.

When the corresponding information is stored in the storage unit 35 in this way, the lighting system 100 sets the lighting fixture 10 installed at the installation position by designating the installation position through the map image displayed on the information terminal 30. It becomes possible to control the light emission.

[Example 1 of hold processing]
As described in step S22 above, the collation between the actual installation position of the lighting fixture 10 and the position on the map image 32 m is performed visually by the installer. Then, when there are hundreds to thousands of a plurality of lighting fixtures 10 and they are installed in a vast space, the installer may find that the blinking lighting fixture 10 is far away from the installer. It may not be possible to grasp the exact installation position of the blinking lighting fixture 10. Since the icon 32a corresponding to such the lighting fixture 10 is not associated with the installation position, it remains in the initial setting screen, and it becomes difficult to understand the progress of the association work with the icon installation position. ..

Therefore, the control unit 34 displays a window (object) for a hold operation (an example of a hold operation) for holding the association of the icon 32a selected in step S18 with the installation position on the initial setting screen, and holds the icon 32a. Based on the operation, the display of the icon 32a whose association with the installation position is suspended is released. The window is displayed, for example, by tapping the dedicated button 32b, but may be displayed by long-pressing the icon 32a. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of an initial setting screen in which a window for a hold operation is superimposed and displayed. FIG. 6 is a flowchart of Example 1 of information processing (hereinafter, also referred to as hold processing) performed by the information terminal 30 when the association with the installation position of the icon is held.

As shown in FIG. 5, the hold operation window 32c includes a box selection button 32c1, an insert button 32c2, and an eject button 32c3. As shown in FIG. 6, after performing the selection operation of the plurality of icons 32a (S30), the installer taps the dedicated button 32b when the accurate installation position of the blinking lighting fixture 10 cannot be grasped. Operate (S31). When such an operation is received by the operation receiving unit 31, the control unit 34 superimposes and displays the window 32c on the initial setting screen (S32). The installer taps the box selection button 32c1 (S33), and then taps the insert button 32c2 (S34). When such a series of operations is received (in other words, detected) by the operation receiving unit 31, the control unit 34 stores the selected icon 32a in the selected box (S35). After that, the control unit 34 deletes the stored icon 32a from the display list of the plurality of icons 32a (S36). That is, the display of the stored icon 32a is canceled.

On the other hand, when the installer wants to return the icons stored in the box to the display list of the plurality of icons 32a, the installer taps the box selection button 32c1 (S37), and then taps the eject button 32c3. (S38). When such a series of operations is received by the operation reception unit 31, the control unit 34 returns the icons 32a stored in the box to the display list of the plurality of icons 32a (S39).

In this way, by putting the icon 32a that cannot be associated with the installation position on hold and deleting it from the initial setting screen, the installer mistakenly selects the icon 32a that could not be associated once again. Is suppressed. That is, the installer can improve the efficiency of the work of associating the icon 32a with the installation position. Further, since both the icon 32a for which the association work has been completed and the held icon 32a are not displayed, the installer can easily grasp the progress of the association work for the installation position of the icon 32a. ..

The icon 32a may be simply put on hold, but may be grouped (sorted) using a plurality of boxes as described above. That is, it can be said that the operation on the window 32c includes a sorting operation for dividing the selected icon 32a into a plurality of groups and holding the window (specifically, a tap operation on the plurality of box selection buttons 32c1). ..

For example, the installer stores the icon 32a of the lighting fixture 10 located far to the right of his / her current position in the box 1, and stores the icon 32a of the lighting fixture 10 located far to the left of his / her current position in the box 2. It is possible to group the lighting fixtures 10 according to the installation position of the lighting fixtures 10 which are visually confirmed by storing them in. Then, the installer moves the icon 32a stored in the box 1 to the display list of the plurality of icons 32a after moving far to the right from the current position, so that the installation position of the lighting fixture 10 corresponding to the icon 32a can be set. It will be easier to understand. That is, according to the configuration in which the icons 32a on hold are grouped, it is possible to improve the efficiency of the work of associating the icons 32a with the installation positions.

By the way, the installer can also cancel the display of the window 32c. When the operation reception unit 31 accepts a tap operation to the dedicated button 32b while the window 32c is displayed, the control unit 34 cancels the display of the window 32c. The control unit 34 measures the time from the start of the display of the window 32c, and the display of the window 32c may be canceled after a certain period of time has elapsed from the start of the display of the window 32c.

[Example of window modification in Hold Processing Example 1]
As described above, it is assumed that the boxes are used for grouping according to the installation position of the luminaire 10 visually confirmed. Therefore, the display name of the box selection button 32c1 may be a direction name such as "north", "south", or "west". FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a window 32d in which the name of the direction is adopted as the display name of the box selection button 32c1. The name of the box selection button 32c1 may be arbitrarily set by the installer or the like.

Further, in the window 32c (or window 32d), a plurality of box selection buttons 32c1 (an example of a plurality of group icons) corresponding to a plurality of groups are displayed in a list, and the selected icon 32a has a plurality of sorting destination groups. Of the box selection buttons 32c1 of the above, the group was switched to the group indicated by the tapped box selection button 32c1. However, it is not essential that the box selection button 32c1 is displayed in a list.

For example, the window 32c may include a switching button 32e1 for switching which group the selected icon 32a is sorted into. FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a window 32e including a switching button. The operation to the switching button 32e1 is another example of the sorting operation. Each time the switching button 32e1 is operated, the name of the current box displayed on the box name display unit 32e2 is switched. That is, the group to which the selected icon 32a is sorted is switched according to the number of times the switching button 32e1 is tapped.

[Example 2 of hold processing]
Next, Example 2 of the hold process will be described. FIG. 9 is a flowchart of Example 2 of the hold process. As shown in FIG. 9, when the installer cannot grasp the exact installation position of the blinking lighting fixture 10 after performing the selection operation of the plurality of icons 32a (S41), the installer selects the selected icon 32a. Press and hold (S42). When the long press operation is received by the operation reception unit 31, the control unit 34 superimposes and displays a plurality of windows 32f on the initial setting screen around the selected icon 32a (for example, up and down) (S43). FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of an initial setting screen in which a plurality of windows 32f are superimposed and displayed.

After that, the installer drags and drops the icon 32a to any of the plurality of windows 32f (S44). When the operation receiving unit 31 detects the drag-and-drop operation, the control unit 34 stores the selected icon 32a in the drop destination box (S45). After that, the control unit 34 deletes the stored icon 32a from the display list of the plurality of icons 32a (S46). That is, the display of the stored icon 32a is canceled. The process of returning the icon 32a stored in the box to the display list of the plurality of icons 32a and the process of canceling the display of the window 32f are, for example, the same as in Example 1 of the hold process. ..

As described above, the display of the window 32f may be performed by a long press operation on the icon 32a as a trigger, and the sorting operation may be a drag and drop operation. In step S44, instead of the drag-and-drop operation, a swipe operation or a flick operation toward any of the plurality of windows 32f may be performed. That is, the sorting operation may be a swipe operation or a flick operation.

[Example 3 of hold processing]
Next, Example 3 of the hold process will be described. FIG. 11 is a flowchart of Example 3 of the hold process. As shown in FIG. 11, after performing the selection operation of the plurality of icons 32a (S51), the installer heads to the information terminal 30 when he / she cannot grasp the exact installation position of the blinking lighting fixture 10. Move to the left or right. More specifically, the installer strongly swings to the left or right so that the information terminal 30 is accelerated. When such a movement (acceleration) is detected by the acceleration sensor 36 (S52), the control unit 34 stores the selected icon 32a in the box corresponding to the direction in which the acceleration is generated (S53). FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an example of the correspondence between the direction in which the acceleration is generated and the box. In the example of FIG. 12, when an acceleration of a predetermined value or more from the left side to the right side is detected, it is selected. The icon 32a is stored in the box 1, and when an acceleration of a predetermined value or more from the right side to the left side is detected, the selected icon 32a is stored in the box 2.

After that, the control unit 34 deletes the stored icon 32a from the display list of the plurality of icons 32a (S54). That is, the display of the stored icon 32a is canceled. The process for returning the icon 32a stored in the box to the display list of the plurality of icons 32a is, for example, the same as in Example 1 of the hold process.

As described above, the hold operation may be an operation of moving the information terminal 30 (adding acceleration to the information terminal 30). In addition, a guide display may be performed in order to inform the installer in which direction the information terminal 30 is moved to be stored in which box. For example, in FIG. 11, the window of the box 1 may be superimposed and displayed on the right end of the display unit 32, and the window of the box 2 may be superimposed and displayed on the left end of the display unit 32.

Further, in step S52, an operation of tilting the information terminal 30 may be performed instead of the operation of moving the information terminal 30. That is, the hold operation may be an operation of tilting the information terminal 30. For example, in the state of FIG. 11, when the acceleration sensor 36 detects that the information terminal 30 is tilted by a predetermined angle or more so that the right side of the information terminal 30 is lower than the left side, the selected icon 32a is a box. It is stored in 1. Further, when the acceleration sensor 36 detects that the information terminal 30 is tilted by a predetermined angle or more so that the left side of the information terminal 30 is lower than the right side, the selected icon 32a is stored in the box 2.

[Example 4 of hold processing]
Next, Example 4 of the hold process will be described. FIG. 13 is a flowchart of Example 4 of the hold process. As shown in FIG. 13, after performing the selection operation of the plurality of icons 32a (S61), if the installer cannot grasp the exact installation position of the blinking lighting fixture 10, the installer changes the direction of the face. do. The control unit 34 detects the orientation of the installer's face based on the image taken by the camera 37 (S62), and when it is determined that the installer has changed the orientation of the face, the selected icon 32a is displayed on the installer. It is stored in the box corresponding to the orientation of the face (S63). The correspondence between the face orientation and the box is, for example, the same as in FIG. When the installer turns his face to the right, the selected icon 32a is stored in box 1, and when the installer turns his face to the left, the selected icon 32a is stored in box 2. ..

After that, the control unit 34 deletes the stored icon 32a from the display list of the plurality of icons 32a (S64). That is, the display of the stored icon 32a is canceled. The process for returning the icon 32a stored in the box to the display list of the plurality of icons 32a is, for example, the same as in Example 1 of the hold process.

In this way, the hold operation may be an operation in which the installer changes the orientation of the face. In addition, a guide display may be performed in order to inform the installer of which box the face is stored in which direction when the face is changed. For example, in FIG. 12, the window of the box 1 may be superimposed and displayed on the right end of the display unit 32, and the window of the box 2 may be superimposed and displayed on the left end of the display unit 32.

[Example 5 of hold processing]
Next, Example 5 of the hold process will be described. FIG. 14 is a flowchart of Example 5 of the hold process. As shown in FIG. 14, after performing the selection operation of the plurality of icons 32a (S71), the installer emits a predetermined sound when the accurate installation position of the blinking lighting fixture 10 cannot be grasped. .. When the control unit 34 detects that the installer has emitted a predetermined voice by performing voice recognition processing using the voice signal output by the microphone 38 (S72), the control unit 34 stores the voice in a box corresponding to the predetermined voice. (S73). For example, if it is determined that the installer has uttered "box 1", the selected icon 32a is stored in box 1, and if it is determined that the installer has uttered "box 2", the selected icon is selected. 32a is stored in the box 2.

After that, the control unit 34 deletes the stored icon 32a from the display list of the plurality of icons 32a (S74). That is, the display of the stored icon 32a is canceled. The process for returning the icon 32a stored in the box to the display list of the plurality of icons 32a is, for example, the same as in Example 1 of the hold process.

In this way, the hold operation may be an operation in which the installer emits a predetermined voice. In addition, a guide display may be performed in order to inform the installer of what kind of voice (word) is to be emitted and which box is stored in which box.

[Effects, etc.]
As described above, the display method is executed by the information terminal 30 having the operation reception unit 31 and the display unit 32 that accept the user's operation. The display method includes an acquisition step (S16) for acquiring the MAC addresses (identification information) of each of the plurality of installed lighting fixtures 10, a plurality of icons 32a for selecting the acquired plurality of MAC addresses, and a display method. The first display step (S12, S17) for displaying the map image 32m indicating the installation position of the plurality of lighting fixtures 10 on the display unit 32, the selection operation of the plurality of icons 32a, and the lighting fixture 10 in the map image 32m. The reception step (S18, S23) in which the operation reception unit 31 accepts the installation position selection operation and the MAC address indicated by the selected icon 32a based on the accepted selection operation are associated with the selected installation position. After the storage step (S24) to be stored, the first display release step (S25) for canceling the display of the icon for which the association with the installation position has been completed among the plurality of icons 32a, and the selection operation of the plurality of icons 32a. Prior to the installation position selection operation, a detection step for detecting a hold operation for holding the association of the selected icon 32a with the installation position, and a plurality of icons 32a based on the detected hold action. Among them, a second display release step (S36, S46, S54, S64, S74, S84) for canceling the display of the icon 32a whose association with the installation position is suspended is included. The MAC address is an example of identification information.

According to such a display method, the icon 32a that cannot be associated with the installation position is treated as a hold and deleted from the initial setting screen, so that the installer mistakenly re-identifies the icon 32a that could not be associated with the installation position. It is suppressed to make a selection. That is, the display method can support the efficiency of the work of associating the icon 32a with the installation position. Further, since both the icon 32a for which the association work has been completed and the held icon 32a are not displayed, the user can easily grasp the progress of the association work for the installation position of the icon 32a.

Further, for example, the display method further includes a second display step of displaying the window on the display unit 32, and in the detection steps (S33 to S34, S44), the operation reception unit 31 sets the operation on the window as a hold operation. To detect. The window is an example of an object, and specifically, the

window

32c, 32d, 32e, 32f, and the like.

In such a display method, the icon 32a can be treated as a hold and deleted from the initial setting screen based on the operation on the user's window.

Further, for example, the window 32f is displayed by long-pressing one of the plurality of icons 32a.

In such a display method, the window 32f can be displayed based on the long press operation on the icon 32a.
