　（５）複数の照明器具

A plurality of lighting fixtures 5 are distributed and installed in a plurality of rooms, for example. A plurality of lighting fixtures 5 have a communication function.
　複数の照明器具５は、コントローラ４から送信される制御信号により制御される。制御信号は、制御対象の照明器具５の通信用のアドレスを含む。 A plurality of lighting fixtures 5 are controlled by control signals transmitted from the controller 4 . The control signal includes an address for communication of the lighting fixture 5 to be controlled.

　（６）登録手順
　次に、図２～図４を参照して、本開示に係る登録方法の手順、すなわち、機器ＩＤと照明器具５の設置場所とを対応付ける手順について、その一例を説明する。なお、図２に示すシーケンスは、本開示に係る登録方法の一例を示しているに過ぎず、処理の順序が適宜変更されてもよいし、処理が適宜追加又は省略されてもよい。 (6) Registration Procedure Next, with reference to FIGS. 2 to 4, an example of the procedure of the registration method according to the present disclosure, that is, the procedure of associating the device ID with the installation location of the lighting device 5 will be described. Note that the sequence shown in FIG. 2 merely shows an example of the registration method according to the present disclosure, and the order of processing may be changed as appropriate, and processing may be added or omitted as appropriate.
　コントローラ４は、複数の照明器具５の各々に、機器ＩＤを割り当てる（ステップＳＴ１）。照明器具５ごとに異なる機器ＩＤが割り当てられる。機器ＩＤを割り当てる処理は、コントローラ４により自動で行われる。コントローラ４の記憶部４２は、各照明器具５に割り当てられた機器ＩＤと、各照明器具５の通信用のアドレスと、の対応関係を表す対応テーブルを記憶する。機器ＩＤを割り当てる処理は、例えば、複数の照明器具５とコントローラ４とが施設に設置され、複数の照明器具５とコントローラ４との間の通信が確立された際に行われる。 The controller 4 assigns a device ID to each of the plurality of lighting fixtures 5 (step ST1). A different device ID is assigned to each lighting device 5 . The process of assigning the device ID is automatically performed by the controller 4 . The storage unit 42 of the controller 4 stores a correspondence table representing the correspondence between the device ID assigned to each lighting fixture 5 and the communication address of each lighting fixture 5 . The process of assigning device IDs is performed, for example, when a plurality of lighting fixtures 5 and a controller 4 are installed in a facility and communication between the lighting fixtures 5 and the controller 4 is established.
　また、撮像装置３は、設置データを取得し、撮像装置３の記憶部３２に記憶する（ステップＳＴ２）。設置データは、例えば、施設のＢＩＭ(Building Information Modeling)データである。設置データは、例えば、登録システム１の記憶部１２に予め記憶されていて、登録システム１の通信部１１を介して撮像装置３へ送信されてもよい。あるいは、設置データは、フラッシュメモリ等の非一時的通信媒体、又はネットワークを介して撮像装置３へ提供されてもよい。 Also, the imaging device 3 acquires the installation data and stores it in the storage unit 32 of the imaging device 3 (step ST2). The installation data is, for example, facility BIM (Building Information Modeling) data. The installation data may be stored in advance in the storage unit 12 of the registration system 1 and transmitted to the imaging device 3 via the communication unit 11 of the registration system 1, for example. Alternatively, the installation data may be provided to the imaging device 3 via a non-transitory communication medium such as flash memory or a network.
　撮像装置３には、登録方法を実現するための所定のアプリケーションが実装されている。作業者は、撮像装置３を操作して、上記アプリケーションを起動させる。すると、図３に示すように、複数の照明器具５の各々の設置場所を示す画像が、出力ＩＦ３６（ここでは、ディスプレイ）に表示される。図３では、複数の照明器具５の設置場所をそれぞれ、設置場所Ｃ１～Ｃ１２として表している。また、図３では、複数の照明器具５の設置場所は、施設の図面に表示されている。 A predetermined application for implementing the registration method is installed in the imaging device 3 . The operator operates the imaging device 3 to start the application. Then, as shown in FIG. 3, an image showing the installation location of each of the plurality of lighting fixtures 5 is displayed on the output IF 36 (here, the display). In FIG. 3, the installation locations of the plurality of lighting fixtures 5 are represented as installation locations C1 to C12, respectively. Also, in FIG. 3, the installation locations of the plurality of lighting fixtures 5 are displayed on the drawing of the facility.
　作業者は、これから撮像装置３を用いて照明器具５を撮像する際の撮像装置３の位置及び向きを、撮像装置３を操作して設定する（ステップＳＴ３）。撮像装置３の出力ＩＦ３６には、設定された位置及び向きが表示される。図３では、具体的には、設定された位置が円６１で示され、設定された向きが矢印６２で示されている。作業者は、設定した位置及び向きで撮像する準備をする。 The operator operates the imaging device 3 to set the position and orientation of the imaging device 3 when imaging the lighting fixture 5 using the imaging device 3 (step ST3). The set position and orientation are displayed on the output IF 36 of the imaging device 3 . Specifically, in FIG. 3 , the set position is indicated by a circle 61 and the set direction is indicated by an arrow 62 . The operator prepares for imaging at the set position and orientation.
　作業者は、撮像装置３に所定の操作をする。これにより、撮像装置３は、設定された位置及び向きに関する情報を登録システム１へ送信する（ステップＳＴ４）。 The operator performs a predetermined operation on the imaging device 3. Thereby, the imaging device 3 transmits information about the set position and orientation to the registration system 1 (step ST4).
　さらに、作業者は、撮像装置３に別の所定の操作をする。これにより、撮像装置３は、制御要求信号を出力する（ステップＳＴ５）。制御要求信号は、登録システム１にて受信される。すると、登録システム１は、複数の照明器具５のうち制御対象の照明器具５の点灯に関する状態を変化させるための指令信号を、コントローラ４へ送信する（ステップＳＴ６）。指令信号は、制御対象の照明器具５の機器ＩＤを含む。コントローラ４は、指令信号を受信すると、制御信号を制御対象の照明器具５へ送信して（ステップＳＴ７）、制御対象の照明器具５の点灯に関する状態を変化させる。 Furthermore, the operator performs another predetermined operation on the imaging device 3. As a result, the imaging device 3 outputs a control request signal (step ST5). The control request signal is received by the registration system 1 . Then, the registration system 1 transmits to the controller 4 a command signal for changing the lighting state of the lighting fixture 5 to be controlled among the plurality of lighting fixtures 5 (step ST6). The command signal includes the device ID of the lighting fixture 5 to be controlled. Upon receiving the command signal, the controller 4 transmits a control signal to the lighting fixture 5 to be controlled (step ST7) to change the lighting state of the lighting fixture 5 to be controlled.
　このように、第１ステップでは撮像装置３は、制御要求信号を出力し、コントローラ４は、制御要求信号を受信することをトリガとして、制御対象の照明器具５へ制御信号を送信する。なお、「コントローラ４は、制御要求信号を受信することをトリガとして」とは、撮像装置３からコントローラ４へ直接に制御要求信号が送信され、これをコントローラ４が受信することをトリガとすることを含む。ただし、これに限らず、「コントローラ４は、制御要求信号を受信することをトリガとして」とは、本実施形態のように、撮像装置３が制御要求信号を登録システム１へ送信し、登録システム１が制御要求信号又はこれに相当する信号（指令信号）をコントローラ４に送信し、これをコントローラ４が受信することをトリガとすることも含む。 Thus, in the first step, the imaging device 3 outputs a control request signal, and the controller 4 uses reception of the control request signal as a trigger to transmit a control signal to the lighting fixture 5 to be controlled. Note that "the controller 4 is triggered by receiving the control request signal" means that the control request signal is directly transmitted from the imaging device 3 to the controller 4, and the controller 4 receives the signal as a trigger. including. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and "the controller 4 is triggered by receiving a control request signal" means that the imaging device 3 transmits a control request signal to the registration system 1 and the registration system 1 sends a control request signal or a signal (command signal) corresponding to this to the controller 4, and the controller 4 receives this as a trigger.
　本実施形態では、照明器具５は、制御信号を受信すると、点滅する（ステップＳＴ８）。つまり、制御信号は、制御対象の照明器具５を点滅させるための信号である。 In this embodiment, the lighting fixture 5 blinks when receiving the control signal (step ST8). That is, the control signal is a signal for blinking the lighting device 5 to be controlled.
　制御対象の照明器具５の点灯に関する状態が変化する際に、作業者は、ステップＳＴ３で設定した位置及び向きで、撮像装置３により照明器具５を撮像する（ステップＳＴ９）。より詳細には、撮像装置３は、間隔をあけて複数回、撮像する。点灯に関する状態が変化する際に撮像するとは、上記状態が変化する前から撮像を開始することと、変化してから撮像を開始することと、のいずれをも含む意味である。 When the lighting state of the lighting fixture 5 to be controlled changes, the operator captures an image of the lighting fixture 5 with the imaging device 3 at the position and orientation set in step ST3 (step ST9). More specifically, the imaging device 3 takes multiple images at intervals. Capturing an image when the lighting-related state changes includes both starting the imaging before the state changes and starting the imaging after the state changes.
　例えば、撮像装置３は、１秒間隔で撮像する。撮像する時点と、次に撮像する時点と、の間隔は、ステップＳＴ８で照明器具５が点滅する周期よりも短いことが好ましい。図４は、撮像により生成された画像の一例である。図４には、天井に設置された複数の照明器具５が写っている。 For example, the imaging device 3 takes images at intervals of 1 second. It is preferable that the interval between the image capturing time and the next image capturing time be shorter than the cycle in which the lighting device 5 blinks in step ST8. FIG. 4 is an example of an image generated by imaging. FIG. 4 shows a plurality of lighting fixtures 5 installed on the ceiling.
　図４では、設置場所Ｃ１にある照明器具５が制御対象の照明器具５であって、点滅において消灯した状態である。ただし、登録システム１及びコントローラ４では、いずれの機器ＩＤがいずれの設置場所の照明器具５と対応しているかが未知であるため、場合によっては、撮像装置３の撮像範囲外に、制御対象の照明器具５が存在する場合もある。まずは、図４のように撮像範囲内に制御対象の照明器具５が存在する場合を想定して説明する。 In FIG. 4, the lighting fixture 5 at the installation location C1 is the lighting fixture 5 to be controlled, and is turned off by blinking. However, in the registration system 1 and the controller 4, it is unknown which device ID corresponds to which lighting fixture 5 at which installation location. A lighting fixture 5 may also be present. First, as shown in FIG. 4, the description will be made assuming that the lighting device 5 to be controlled exists within the imaging range.
　撮像装置３は、照明器具５を撮像して生成された画像を登録システム１へ送信する（ステップＳＴ１０）。登録システム１の導出部２１は、ステップＳＴ３で設定された撮像装置３の位置及び向きに関する情報と、ステップＳＴ１０で取得した画像と、に基づいて、制御対象の照明器具５の設置場所を求める。 The imaging device 3 transmits an image generated by imaging the lighting device 5 to the registration system 1 (step ST10). The derivation unit 21 of the registration system 1 obtains the installation location of the lighting fixture 5 to be controlled based on the information about the position and orientation of the imaging device 3 set in step ST3 and the image acquired in step ST10.
　つまり、導出部２１は、画像（図４参照）を解析することで、画像中の各照明器具５と、設置データ（図３参照）に示される各照明器具５の設置場所と、を対応付けることができる。 That is, the derivation unit 21 analyzes the image (see FIG. 4) to associate each lighting fixture 5 in the image with the installation location of each lighting fixture 5 indicated in the installation data (see FIG. 3). can be done.
　また、制御対象の照明器具５はステップＳＴ８で点滅するため、連続して撮影して生成された複数の画像のうち、一部の画像では、制御対象の照明器具５が消灯しており（図４参照）、別の画像では、制御対象の照明器具５が点灯している状態となる。よって、導出部２１は、画像を解析することで、画像中の照明器具５のうちいずれの照明器具５が制御対象の照明器具５であるか、特定することができる。例えば、撮像装置３で生成された２つの画像（点灯時の画像及び消灯時の画像）の差分を取ることで、制御対象の照明器具５の明るさの変化を検出すればよい。これにより、図４に示す例では、設置場所Ｃ１にある照明器具５が制御対象の照明器具５であると特定できる。 In addition, since the lighting fixture 5 to be controlled flashes in step ST8, the lighting fixture 5 to be controlled is turned off in some of the images generated by continuously capturing the images (Fig. 4), in another image, the lighting fixture 5 to be controlled is illuminated. Therefore, by analyzing the image, the derivation unit 21 can identify which of the lighting fixtures 5 in the image is the lighting fixture 5 to be controlled. For example, a change in brightness of the lighting fixture 5 to be controlled may be detected by taking a difference between two images (an image when the light is on and an image when the light is off) generated by the imaging device 3 . As a result, in the example shown in FIG. 4, the lighting fixture 5 at the installation location C1 can be identified as the lighting fixture 5 to be controlled.
　そして、制御対象の照明器具５の点灯に関する状態を変化させる（点滅させる）際には、コントローラ４は、制御対象の照明器具５の機器ＩＤに対応したアドレスを制御信号に含ませている。ステップＳＴ８で点灯に関する状態が変化した照明器具５（設置場所Ｃ１にある照明器具５）は、複数の照明器具５のうち、この機器ＩＤが割り当てられた照明器具５である。よって、導出部２１は、制御対象の照明器具５の機器ＩＤと、設置データにおける制御対象の照明器具５の設置場所と、を対応付けることができる（ステップＳＴ１１）。 When changing (blinking) the lighting state of the lighting fixture 5 to be controlled, the controller 4 includes an address corresponding to the device ID of the lighting fixture 5 to be controlled in the control signal. The lighting fixture 5 (the lighting fixture 5 at the installation location C1) whose lighting state has changed in step ST8 is the lighting fixture 5 assigned with this device ID among the plurality of lighting fixtures 5 . Therefore, the deriving unit 21 can associate the device ID of the lighting fixture 5 to be controlled with the installation location of the lighting fixture 5 to be controlled in the installation data (step ST11).
　登録部２２は、制御対象の照明器具５の機器ＩＤと設置データにおける制御対象の照明器具５の設置場所との対応付けをコントローラ４に登録（記憶）する。より詳細には、登録部２２は、対応付けの情報を、通信部１１を介してコントローラ４へ送信し（ステップＳＴ１２）、これに応じてコントローラ４は、対応付けを記憶部４２に記憶する（ステップＳＴ１３）。 The registration unit 22 registers (stores) in the controller 4 the correspondence between the device ID of the lighting fixture 5 to be controlled and the installation location of the lighting fixture 5 to be controlled in the installation data. More specifically, the registration unit 22 transmits information on the correspondence to the controller 4 via the communication unit 11 (step ST12), and the controller 4 stores the correspondence in the storage unit 42 (step ST12). step ST13).
　以上のプロセスにより、１つの照明器具５について、機器ＩＤと設置場所との対応付けが登録される。また、撮像装置３の撮像範囲外に制御対象の照明器具５が存在した場合には、ステップＳＴ１１での対応付けに失敗し、ステップＳＴ１３における登録がなされない。 Through the above process, the correspondence between the device ID and the installation location is registered for one lighting fixture 5 . Further, when the lighting fixture 5 to be controlled exists outside the imaging range of the imaging device 3, the association in step ST11 fails, and the registration in step ST13 is not performed.
　ステップＳＴ１１において対応付けが成功した場合、及び、失敗した場合のいずれにおいても、登録システム１は、次の処理を実行する。次の処理では、登録システム１は、制御対象の照明器具５を、別の照明器具５へと変更して、ステップＳＴ５～ＳＴ１３を実行する。制御対象の照明器具５を別の照明器具５へと変更するとは、要するに、登録システム１からコントローラ４に出力する指令信号に含まれる機器ＩＤを、ある照明器具５に対応する機器ＩＤから、別の照明器具５に対応する機器ＩＤへと変更することである。これにより、コントローラ４から出力する制御信号に含まれるアドレスは、ある照明器具５の機器ＩＤに対応するアドレスから、別の照明器具５の機器ＩＤに対応するアドレスへと変更される。 The registration system 1 performs the following processing regardless of whether the association is successful or unsuccessful in step ST11. In the next process, the registration system 1 changes the lighting fixture 5 to be controlled to another lighting fixture 5, and executes steps ST5 to ST13. Changing the lighting fixture 5 to be controlled to another lighting fixture 5 means, in short, changing the device ID included in the command signal output from the registration system 1 to the controller 4 from the device ID corresponding to a certain lighting fixture 5 to another lighting fixture 5 . is changed to the device ID corresponding to the lighting device 5 of the above. As a result, the address included in the control signal output from the controller 4 is changed from an address corresponding to the device ID of one lighting device 5 to an address corresponding to the device ID of another lighting device 5 .
　例えば、コントローラ４にそれぞれ機器ＩＤが登録された複数の照明器具５のうち全ての照明器具５が、１回ずつ制御対象の照明器具５として選択されるまで、登録システム１は、制御対象の照明器具５を順次入れ替える。 For example, until all the lighting fixtures 5 among the plurality of lighting fixtures 5 whose device IDs are registered in the controller 4 are selected once as the lighting fixtures 5 to be controlled, the registration system 1 continues to register the lighting fixtures to be controlled. The instruments 5 are replaced one by one.
　撮像装置３がステップＳＴ３で設定された位置及び向きにある状態で、全ての照明器具５が順番に制御対象の照明器具５として選択されて点滅し、その度に撮像装置３は、撮像範囲内の照明器具５を撮像する。例えば、図３の円６１及び矢印６２で示す位置及び向きで撮像する場合には、図４に示すように、設置場所Ｃ１～Ｃ４にある４つの照明器具５が撮像範囲内にある。そして、この４つの照明器具５のうちいずれかが制御対象の照明器具５として選択される度に、撮像装置３で生成された画像に基づいて、制御対象の照明器具５の点滅が登録システム１に認識され、制御対象の照明器具５の機器ＩＤと設置場所とが対応付けられる。最終的に、設置場所Ｃ１～Ｃ４にある４つの照明器具５の各々の機器ＩＤと設置場所とが対応付けられ、コントローラ４に登録される。 In the state where the imaging device 3 is in the position and orientation set in step ST3, all the lighting fixtures 5 are selected in order as the lighting fixtures 5 to be controlled and flash, and each time the imaging device 3 is positioned within the imaging range. , the lighting fixture 5 is imaged. For example, when imaging at the position and orientation indicated by the circle 61 and arrow 62 in FIG. 3, four lighting fixtures 5 at installation locations C1 to C4 are within the imaging range as shown in FIG. Each time one of the four lighting fixtures 5 is selected as the lighting fixture 5 to be controlled, the lighting fixture 5 to be controlled blinks based on the image generated by the imaging device 3. , and the device ID and installation location of the lighting fixture 5 to be controlled are associated with each other. Finally, the device IDs and installation locations of the four lighting fixtures 5 at the installation locations C1 to C4 are associated with each other and registered in the controller 4 .
　以上により、撮像範囲内の全ての照明器具５について、機器ＩＤと設置場所との対応付けが登録される。次は、別の撮像範囲内の照明器具５についても同様に、機器ＩＤと設置場所との対応付けを登録することになる。 As described above, the correspondence between the device ID and the installation location is registered for all the lighting fixtures 5 within the imaging range. Next, the correspondence between the device ID and the installation location is similarly registered for the lighting device 5 within another imaging range.
　すなわち、作業者は、撮像装置３の位置及び向きを新たに設定する（ステップＳＴ３）。撮像装置３は、設定された位置及び向きに関する情報を登録システム１へ送信する（ステップＳＴ４）。作業者は、設定した位置及び向きで撮像する準備をする。その後、複数の照明器具５を順次、制御対象の照明器具５として、ステップＳ５～Ｓ１３を繰り返す。これにより、新たに設定された位置及び向きで撮像される照明器具５について、機器ＩＤと設置場所との対応付けが登録される。なお、既に対応付けが登録された照明器具５は、以降は制御対象の照明器具５として選択される必要はない。また、撮像範囲内の全ての照明器具５について対応付けが完了した場合は、その撮像範囲における対応付けのための工程を終了してもよい。 That is, the operator newly sets the position and orientation of the imaging device 3 (step ST3). The imaging device 3 transmits information about the set position and orientation to the registration system 1 (step ST4). The operator prepares for imaging at the set position and orientation. After that, steps S5 to S13 are repeated with a plurality of lighting fixtures 5 being sequentially set as lighting fixtures 5 to be controlled. As a result, the correspondence between the device ID and the installation location is registered for the lighting fixture 5 imaged at the newly set position and orientation. Note that the lighting fixtures 5 whose association has already been registered do not need to be selected as the lighting fixtures 5 to be controlled thereafter. Also, when the association is completed for all the lighting fixtures 5 within the imaging range, the process for associating within the imaging range may be terminated.
　ステップＳＴ３～ＳＴ１３を繰り返すことで、全ての照明器具５の対応付けを登録することができる。以上により、本実施形態の登録方法の実施が完了する。 By repeating steps ST3 to ST13, the association of all lighting fixtures 5 can be registered. By the above, implementation of the registration method of this embodiment is completed.
　このように、本実施形態の登録方法では、撮像装置３の位置及び向きのうち少なくとも一方を変更して、照明器具５を撮像する第２ステップを複数回繰り返す。つまり、Ｎ回目の第２ステップと、Ｍ（Ｍ≠Ｎ）回目の第２ステップとでは、撮像装置３の位置及び向きのうち少なくとも一方が異なる。 Thus, in the registration method of the present embodiment, at least one of the position and orientation of the imaging device 3 is changed, and the second step of imaging the lighting device 5 is repeated multiple times. That is, at least one of the position and orientation of the imaging device 3 differs between the N-th second step and the M (M≠N)-th second step.
　以上説明した登録方法によれば、機器ＩＤと、設置データに示される照明器具５の設置場所と、を容易に対応付けられる。比較例として、ある機器ＩＤの照明器具５の点灯に関する状態が変化した場合に、変化があった照明器具５を作業者が目視で確認し、その照明器具５の位置を作業者が携帯端末３Ａに入力することで、機器ＩＤと設置場所とを対応付ける態様が考えられる。このような態様と比較して、本実施形態の登録方法では、作業者の作業の手間を減らすことができる。また、作業者の確認不足により誤った対応付けがなされる可能性を低減できる。 According to the registration method described above, the device ID can be easily associated with the installation location of the lighting device 5 indicated in the installation data. As a comparative example, when the lighting state of a lighting fixture 5 with a certain device ID changes, the operator visually confirms the lighting fixture 5 that has changed, and the position of the lighting fixture 5 is determined by the worker using the portable terminal 3A. , the device ID and the installation location may be associated with each other. Compared to such an aspect, the registration method of the present embodiment can reduce the labor of the operator. In addition, it is possible to reduce the possibility of erroneous association being made due to lack of confirmation by the operator.
　（変形例１）
　以下、変形例１に係る登録方法について説明する。実施形態と同様の構成については、同一の符号を付して説明を省略する。 (Modification 1)
A registration method according to Modification 1 will be described below. Configurations similar to those of the embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and descriptions thereof are omitted.
　本変形例１では、制御信号は、制御対象の照明器具５の明るさを増加させるための信号である。この場合も、導出部２１は、画像を解析することで、画像中の照明器具５のうちいずれの照明器具５が制御対象の照明器具５であるか、特定することができる。 In Modification 1, the control signal is a signal for increasing the brightness of the lighting fixture 5 to be controlled. Also in this case, the deriving unit 21 can identify which lighting fixture 5 among the lighting fixtures 5 in the image is the lighting fixture 5 to be controlled by analyzing the image.
　例えば、導出部２１は、撮像装置３で生成された２つの画像（増光前の画像及び増光後の画像）の差分を取ることで、制御対象の照明器具５の明るさの変化を検出すればよい。 For example, the derivation unit 21 detects a change in brightness of the lighting fixture 5 to be controlled by taking the difference between the two images (the image before and after the brightness enhancement) generated by the imaging device 3. good.
　あるいは、導出部２１は、撮像装置３で撮像された画像に写っている複数の照明器具５のうち、最も明るい照明器具５が制御対象の照明器具５であると特定すればよい。 Alternatively, the derivation unit 21 may specify that the brightest lighting fixture 5 among the plurality of lighting fixtures 5 captured in the image captured by the imaging device 3 is the lighting fixture 5 to be controlled.
　また、本変形例１とは反対に、制御信号は、制御対象の照明器具５の明るさを減少させるための信号であってもよい。 Also, contrary to the first modification, the control signal may be a signal for reducing the brightness of the lighting fixture 5 to be controlled.
　（変形例２）
　以下、変形例２に係る登録方法について説明する。実施形態と同様の構成については、同一の符号を付して説明を省略する。また、本変形例２は、変形例１と組み合わせて実現されてもよい。 (Modification 2)
A registration method according to Modification 2 will be described below. Configurations similar to those of the embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and descriptions thereof are omitted. Moreover, the second modification may be implemented in combination with the first modification.
　本変形例２の登録方法は、補正ステップを更に有する。補正ステップでは、第２ステップで撮像装置３が少なくとも一部の照明器具５を撮像することで生成された画像の歪みを補正する。第３ステップでは、第２ステップにおいて撮像装置３が少なくとも一部の照明器具５を撮像する際の撮像装置３の位置及び向きに関する情報と、補正ステップで補正された画像と、に基づいて、制御対象の照明器具５の設置場所を求める。 The registration method of Modification 2 further includes a correction step. In the correction step, the distortion of the image generated by the imaging device 3 capturing an image of at least part of the lighting fixtures 5 in the second step is corrected. In the third step, control is performed based on information regarding the position and orientation of the imaging device 3 when the imaging device 3 captures an image of at least part of the lighting fixtures 5 in the second step and the image corrected in the correction step. The installation location of the target lighting fixture 5 is obtained.
　補正ステップは、画像処理部２４により実現される。補正ステップでは、例えば、遠近感のある画像を、平面的な画像へと補正する。また、補正ステップでは、例えば、画像のうち、中央部分と比較して引き延ばされるように歪んだ周縁部分を補正して、中央部分と整合する寸法にする。 The correction step is realized by the image processing unit 24. In the correction step, for example, an image with perspective is corrected into a planar image. Also, in the correcting step, for example, a peripheral portion of the image that is distorted such that it is elongated relative to the central portion is corrected to have dimensions that match the central portion.
　画像の歪みを補正することにより、画像に基づいて制御対象の照明器具５の設置場所を求める処理の精度を向上させることができる。 By correcting the distortion of the image, it is possible to improve the accuracy of processing for determining the installation location of the lighting fixture 5 to be controlled based on the image.
　（変形例３）
　以下、変形例３に係る登録方法について説明する。実施形態と同様の構成については、同一の符号を付して説明を省略する。また、本変形例３は、変形例１及び変形例２のうち少なくとも一方と組み合わせて実現されてもよい。 (Modification 3)
A registration method according to Modification 3 will be described below. Configurations similar to those of the embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and descriptions thereof are omitted. Moreover, the third modification may be implemented in combination with at least one of the first modification and the second modification.
　本変形例３では、撮像装置３は、複数設けられる。複数の撮像装置３は、位置及び向きのうち少なくとも一方が互いに異なるように配置される。つまり、複数の撮像装置３は、撮像範囲がそれぞれ異なるように配置される。導出部２１は、複数の撮像装置３の各々の位置及び向きに関する情報と、複数の撮像装置３で生成された複数の画像と、に基づいて、制御対象の照明器具５の設置場所と機器ＩＤとの対応付けを特定する。対応付けを特定する手法は、実施形態と同様とすればよい。 In Modification 3, a plurality of imaging devices 3 are provided. The plurality of imaging devices 3 are arranged such that at least one of their positions and orientations are different from each other. That is, the plurality of imaging devices 3 are arranged so that their imaging ranges are different from each other. The deriving unit 21 determines the installation location and the device ID of the lighting fixture 5 to be controlled based on the information about the position and orientation of each of the plurality of imaging devices 3 and the plurality of images generated by the plurality of imaging devices 3. Identify the mapping with . The method of identifying the correspondence may be the same as in the embodiment.
　本変形例３によれば、実施形態と比較して、一度により多くの照明器具５を対象として、当該照明器具５が制御対象の照明器具５であるか否かを判定することができる。 According to Modification 3, compared to the embodiment, it is possible to determine whether or not the lighting fixtures 5 are the lighting fixtures 5 to be controlled, targeting more lighting fixtures 5 at once.
　（実施形態のその他の変形例）
　以下、実施形態のその他の変形例を列挙する。以下の変形例は、適宜組み合わせて実現されてもよい。また、以下の変形例は、上述の各変形例と適宜組み合わせて実現されてもよい。 (Other modifications of the embodiment)
Other modifications of the embodiment are listed below. The following modified examples may be implemented in combination as appropriate. Moreover, the following modifications may be realized by appropriately combining with each of the modifications described above.
　登録方法は、第１～第４ステップのうち、第１ステップ及び第２ステップを有していなくてもよい。つまり、一態様に係る登録方法は、第３ステップ及び第４ステップを少なくとも有する。 The registration method does not have to include the first and second steps among the first to fourth steps. That is, the registration method according to one aspect has at least the third step and the fourth step.
　登録システム１は、コントローラ４と、撮像装置３と、を更に備えていてもよい。登録システム１のうち、コントローラ４及び撮像装置３以外の構成と、コントローラ４と、撮像装置３とは、１つの装置に集約されていてもよいし、複数の装置に分散して設けられていてもよい。 The registration system 1 may further include a controller 4 and an imaging device 3. In the registration system 1, the configuration other than the controller 4 and the imaging device 3, the controller 4, and the imaging device 3 may be integrated into one device, or may be distributed among a plurality of devices. good too.
　必ずしも全ての照明器具５について、機器ＩＤと設置場所との対応付けが行われる必要はなく、一部の照明器具５についてのみ、機器ＩＤと設置場所との対応付けが行われてもよい。 It is not necessary to associate the device ID with the installation location for all the lighting fixtures 5 , and the device ID and the installation location may be associated only for some lighting fixtures 5 .
　作業者は、撮像範囲内の照明器具５の点灯に関する状態が変化していないと判断した場合には、撮像装置３を用いた撮像を行わなくてもよい。この場合、登録システム１は、制御対象の照明器具５の点灯に関する状態を変化させたにもかかわらず、一定時間以上、撮像装置３から画像が入力されないことをもって、制御対象の照明器具５について機器ＩＤと設置場所との対応付けが失敗したと判断してもよい。その後、登録システム１は、制御対象の照明器具５を別の照明器具５に変更すればよい。 The operator does not have to perform imaging using the imaging device 3 when determining that the lighting state of the lighting fixtures 5 within the imaging range has not changed. In this case, the registration system 1 determines that an image is not input from the imaging device 3 for a certain period of time or longer even though the lighting state of the lighting fixture 5 to be controlled is changed. It may be determined that the association between the ID and the installation location has failed. After that, the registration system 1 may change the lighting fixture 5 to be controlled to another lighting fixture 5 .
　撮像装置３が照明器具５を撮像する際の撮像装置３の位置及び向きのうち少なくとも一方が、登録システム１により自動で決定されてもよい。作業者は、撮像装置３の位置及び／又は向きを、自動で決定された位置及び／又は向きにして、撮像を行えばよい。 At least one of the position and orientation of the imaging device 3 when the imaging device 3 captures the image of the lighting equipment 5 may be automatically determined by the registration system 1 . The operator may set the position and/or orientation of the imaging device 3 to the automatically determined position and/or orientation, and perform imaging.
　撮像装置３が照明器具５を撮像する操作が、作業者により行われることは、必須ではなく、撮像装置３により自動で撮像されてもよい。 It is not essential for the operator to perform the operation for the imaging device 3 to capture the image of the lighting device 5, and the imaging device 3 may automatically capture the image.
　制御信号により、制御対象の照明器具５の点灯に関する状態が、消灯状態から点灯状態に変化してもよく、あるいは、点灯状態から消灯状態に変化してもよい。 Depending on the control signal, the lighting state of the lighting fixture 5 to be controlled may change from the off state to the on state, or may change from the on state to the off state.
　機器ＩＤと設置場所との対応付けがなされていない状態で、コントローラ４は、グループごとに照明器具５を制御可能に構成されていてもよい。例えば、グループごとに通信線が分けられていれば、コントローラ４は、特定のグループに属する照明器具５のみを制御することができる。このような場合、グループごとに、機器ＩＤと設置場所との対応付けを行うことができる。例えば、設置場所Ｃ１～Ｃ４に設置された４つの照明器具５が１つのグループに属しており、撮像装置３はこの４つの照明器具５を撮像するように設置されている場合、コントローラ４はこの４つの照明器具５を順に制御対象の照明器具５とすればよい。これにより、全ての照明器具５を順に制御対象の照明器具５とする場合と比較して、対応付けに要する時間を削減できる。 The controller 4 may be configured to be able to control the lighting fixtures 5 for each group in a state where the device ID and installation location are not associated. For example, if communication lines are divided for each group, the controller 4 can control only lighting fixtures 5 belonging to a specific group. In such a case, it is possible to associate the device ID with the installation location for each group. For example, if four lighting fixtures 5 installed at installation locations C1 to C4 belong to one group and the imaging device 3 is installed to capture images of these four lighting fixtures 5, the controller 4 The four lighting fixtures 5 may be sequentially set as the lighting fixtures 5 to be controlled. As a result, the time required for association can be reduced compared to the case where all the lighting fixtures 5 are sequentially set as the lighting fixtures 5 to be controlled.
　本開示における登録システム１は、コンピュータシステムを含んでいる。コンピュータシステムは、ハードウェアとしてのプロセッサ及びメモリを主構成とする。コンピュータシステムのメモリに記録されたプログラムをプロセッサが実行することによって、本開示における登録システム１としての機能の少なくとも一部が実現される。プログラムは、コンピュータシステムのメモリに予め記録されてもよく、電気通信回線を通じて提供されてもよく、コンピュータシステムで読み取り可能なメモリカード、光学ディスク、ハードディスクドライブ等の非一時的記録媒体に記録されて提供されてもよい。コンピュータシステムのプロセッサは、半導体集積回路（ＩＣ）又は大規模集積回路（ＬＳＩ）を含む１ないし複数の電子回路で構成される。ここでいうＩＣ又はＬＳＩ等の集積回路は、集積の度合いによって呼び方が異なっており、システムＬＳＩ、ＶＬＳＩ（Very Large Scale Integration）、又はＵＬＳＩ（Ultra Large Scale Integration）と呼ばれる集積回路を含む。さらに、ＬＳＩの製造後にプログラムされる、ＦＰＧＡ（Field-Programmable Gate Array）、又はＬＳＩ内部の接合関係の再構成若しくはＬＳＩ内部の回路区画の再構成が可能な論理デバイスについても、プロセッサとして採用することができる。複数の電子回路は、１つのチップに集約されていてもよいし、複数のチップに分散して設けられていてもよい。複数のチップは、１つの装置に集約されていてもよいし、複数の装置に分散して設けられていてもよい。ここでいうコンピュータシステムは、１以上のプロセッサ及び１以上のメモリを有するマイクロコントローラを含む。したがって、マイクロコントローラについても、半導体集積回路又は大規模集積回路を含む１ないし複数の電子回路で構成される。 The registration system 1 in the present disclosure includes a computer system. A computer system is mainly composed of a processor and a memory as hardware. At least part of the function of the registration system 1 in the present disclosure is realized by the processor executing a program recorded in the memory of the computer system.

A processor in a computer system consists of one or more electronic circuits, including semiconductor integrated circuits (ICs) or large scale integrated circuits (LSIs). Integrated circuits such as ICs or LSIs are called differently depending on the degree of integration, and include integrated circuits called system LSI, VLSI (Very Large Scale Integration), or ULSI (Ultra Large Scale Integration). In addition, FPGAs (Field-Programmable Gate Arrays), which are programmed after the LSI is manufactured, or logic devices capable of reconfiguring the connection relationships inside the LSI or reconfiguring the circuit partitions inside the LSI, shall also be adopted as processors. can be done.

　（まとめ）
　以上説明した実施形態等から、以下の態様が開示されている。 (summary)
The following aspects are disclosed from the embodiments and the like described above.
　第１の態様に係る登録方法は、複数の照明器具（５）の各々の機器ＩＤと、複数の照明器具（５）の各々の設置場所を示す設置データにおける設置場所と、を対応付け、コントローラ（４）に登録する方法である。複数の照明器具（５）は、コントローラ（４）から割り当てられた機器ＩＤによりコントローラ（４）に識別される。登録方法は、繰返しステップと、第３ステップと、第４ステップと、を有する。繰返しステップでは、制御対象の照明器具（５）を、複数の照明器具（５）のうち所定の照明器具（５）から、複数の照明器具（５）のうち別の照明器具（５）へ順次入れ替えて、第１ステップと第２ステップとを複数回繰り返す。第１ステップでは、制御信号を、コントローラ（４）から制御対象の照明器具（５）へ送信する。制御信号は、制御対象の照明器具（５）の機器ＩＤに対応したアドレスを含む。制御信号は、制御対象の照明器具（５）の点灯に関する状態を変化させるための信号である。第２ステップでは、第１ステップで送信された制御信号により制御対象の照明器具（５）の点灯に関する状態が変化する際に、複数の照明器具（５）のうち少なくとも一部の照明器具（５）を撮像装置（３）により撮像する。第３ステップでは、第２ステップにおいて撮像装置（３）が少なくとも一部の照明器具（５）を撮像する際の撮像装置（３）の位置及び向きに関する情報と、第２ステップで撮像装置（３）が少なくとも一部の照明器具（５）を撮像することで生成された画像と、に基づいて、設置データにおける制御対象の照明器具（５）の設置場所を求め、制御対象の照明器具（５）の機器ＩＤとの対応付けを特定する。第４ステップでは、第３ステップで特定された制御対象の照明器具（５）の機器ＩＤと設置データにおける制御対象の照明器具（５）の設置場所との対応付けをコントローラ（４）に登録する。 A registration method according to a first aspect associates a device ID of each of a plurality of lighting fixtures (5) with an installation location in installation data indicating the installation location of each of the plurality of lighting fixtures (5), and a controller (4) is a method of registration. A plurality of lighting fixtures (5) are identified by the controller (4) by device IDs assigned by the controller (4). The registration method has a repeating step, a third step, and a fourth step. In the repeating step, the luminaire (5) to be controlled is sequentially shifted from a given luminaire (5) of the plurality of luminaires (5) to another luminaire (5) of the plurality of luminaires (5). The first step and the second step are repeated multiple times, alternating with each other. In a first step, a control signal is sent from the controller (4) to the luminaire (5) to be controlled.
