FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a lighting system 10 including a lighting fixture remote controller 30 according to an example of the embodiment. The lighting system 10 includes a lighting fixture remote controller 30 and a lighting fixture set or controlled by the lighting fixture remote controller 30 . The lighting fixtures are usually a plurality of second lighting fixtures 14 and a plurality of first lighting fixtures 12 arranged in the room of the building. The plurality of second lighting fixtures 14 are provided at a position that is larger than the maximum distance between two first lighting fixtures 12 from one first lighting fixture 12 among the plurality of first lighting fixtures 12 . For example, each of the plurality of second lighting fixtures 14 is provided at a position farther from the second lighting fixture 14 at one end than the maximum distance between the two first lighting fixtures 12 at both ends. The plurality of second lighting fixtures 14 are installed, for example, outside the building. The plurality of second lighting fixtures 14 may also be arranged indoors. For example, the plurality of second lighting fixtures 14 is in a position where the first lighting fixture 12 can be operated by the remote controller 30 for lighting fixtures even if it is indoors. If the second lighting fixtures 14 are operated by the remote controller 30 for lighting fixtures, the signal is controlled. It will also not reach the position of the second lighting fixture 14 normally, for example, the position where the lighting fixture remote controller 30 generates an error display or other warning. The following describes a case where a plurality of second lighting fixtures 14 are installed outdoors. The lighting fixture remote controller 30 is configured to be capable of wireless communication with each first lighting fixture 12 and each second lighting fixture 14, and sets or controls each first lighting fixture 12 and each second lighting fixture 14. Regarding the second lighting fixtures 14 , more specifically, each second lighting fixture 14 can perform wireless communication with at least the remote controller 30 for a lighting fixture that is in proximity. Hereinafter, the remote controller 30 for lighting fixtures is described as the remote controller 30 . As will be described in detail later, the remote controller 30 transmits the setting information set by the operation of the user 1 to the second lighting fixture 14, thereby setting the setting information to the second lighting fixture 14, or according to The first lighting fixture 12 is controlled by the content of the setting information set by the operation of the user 1 .

The number of first lighting fixtures 12 provided in the lighting system 10 is not particularly limited as long as there are a plurality of first lighting fixtures 12 . The number of second lighting fixtures 14 included in the lighting system 10 is not particularly limited as long as it is one or more. The plurality of first lighting fixtures 12 are, for example, ceiling lamps. The first lighting fixture 12 may also be a downlight, a spotlight, or other types. The first lighting fixture 12 is represented by a circle in FIG. 1 . The plurality of second lighting fixtures 14 are, for example, spotlights. The second lighting fixture 14 may also be other types such as garden lights.

The plurality of first lighting fixtures 12 are divided into four groups: group 1, group 2, group 3, and group 4, and each group includes the plurality of first lighting fixtures 12. In each group, the plurality of first lighting fixtures 12 are capable of wireless communication with each other.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the structure of the first lighting fixture 12 and the remote controller 30 constituting the lighting system 10 . The first lighting fixture 12 is wirelessly connected to the remote controller 30 operated by the user 1 . When the remote controller 30 is operated by the user 1, the remote controller 30 transmits a lighting control signal by the operation or based on the setting information set by the operation. In FIG. 2 , only two first lighting fixtures 12 are shown as the plurality of first lighting fixtures 12 . The first lighting fixture 12 includes a communication unit 16, a control circuit 18, a light source unit 20, and a storage unit 22. When first receiving the lighting control signal from the remote controller 30 in the same group, the first lighting fixture 12 forwards the lighting control signal to other first lighting fixtures 12 in the same group. The plurality of first lighting fixtures 12 may have the same structure, but the plurality of first lighting fixtures 12 may also have different structures. The first lighting fixture 12 that first received the lighting control signal from the remote controller 30 in the same group sends a reception confirmation signal as a reply signal to the remote controller 30 .

The communication unit 16 is an interface for wireless communication between the first lighting fixture 12 and the remote controller 30 and other first lighting fixtures 12 in the same group.

The control circuit 18 controls the communication unit 16 . The control circuit 18 controls the lighting state of the light source unit 20 based on the lighting control signal received from the remote controller 30 . The control circuit 18 has, for example, a CPU, and executes arithmetic processing in accordance with the program stored in the storage unit 22 . When the control circuit 18 first receives the lighting control signal from the remote controller 30 in the same group, it forwards the lighting control signal to other first lighting fixtures 12 in the same group. In addition, when the control circuit 18 receives the lighting control signal from the remote controller 30 for the first time in the same group, it sends a reception confirmation signal to the remote controller 30 . For example, when the control circuit 18 receives the lighting control signal from the remote controller 30 and has not yet received the forwarding of the lighting control signal from other first lighting fixtures 12, it determines that the local unit is the first remote control unit in the same group. The first lighting fixture that receives the lighting control signal sends a reception confirmation signal to the remote controller 30.

The light source unit 20 emits illumination light. For example, the light source unit 20 is an LED, a fluorescent lamp, a halogen lamp, or the like.

The storage unit 22 is implemented by ROM, RAM, HDD, flash memory, or the like. The storage unit 22 has a function of storing the received lighting control signal.

The remote controller 30 includes an operation unit 31 , a communication unit 32 , a control circuit 33 , a storage unit 34 and a timer unit 35 . The operation unit 31 accepts the operation of the user 1 and sends the content of the received operation to the control circuit 33 . When the remote controller 30 is a smartphone, the remote controller 30 has a touch panel screen that functions as an operating unit.

The communication unit 32 is an interface for wireless communication between the remote controller 30 and the plurality of lighting fixtures 12 .

The control circuit 33 has a function of controlling the communication unit 32 . The control circuit 33 has, for example, a CPU, and executes arithmetic processing using a program stored in a storage unit 34 to be described later.

When the operating unit 31 is operated and the operation is an instruction to operate the lighting state of the first lighting fixture 12 , the control circuit 33 transmits the lighting control signal in the form of a wireless signal to the third lighting fixture of each group via the communication unit 32 . A lighting fixture 12 is sent. The first lighting fixture 12 in each group that initially receives the lighting control signal from the remote controller 30 forwards the lighting control signal to the other first lighting fixtures 12 in the same group. The first lighting fixture 12 that has received the lighting control signal from the remote controller 30 or another first lighting fixture 12 controls lighting of the light source unit 20 based on the content of the lighting control signal. Thereby, the user 1 with the remote controller 30 can operate the lighting state of each first lighting fixture 12 of a plurality of groups.

Furthermore, the control circuit 33 has the following two functions: (1) a function of transmitting a lighting control signal to the lighting fixture during lighting control based on the content of the setting information related to the timer unit 35 described later; and ( 2) The control circuit 33 is configured to transmit all data of the setting information to the function of the lighting fixture, so that it can select which of the functions (1) and (2) is to be executed depending on the state.

For example, when the first lighting fixture 12 is controlled based on the content of the setting information, the control circuit 33 is caused to perform the function (1), and when the second lighting fixture 14 (FIG. 1) is controlled based on the content of the setting information, the control circuit 33 is caused to perform the function (1). Execute function (2). Therefore, the operation part 31 of the first lighting fixture 12 may be provided with a switching part such as a button or a switch that switches the operation of the first lighting fixture 12 and the operation of the second lighting fixture 14 . In addition, when the signal is transmitted from the remote controller 30 to the plurality of first lighting fixtures 12, the reception confirmation signal is transmitted from the plurality of first lighting fixtures 12 to the remote controller 30, and when the signal is transmitted from the remote controller 30 to the second lighting fixture 14 , a reception confirmation signal is sent from the few second lighting fixtures 14 to the remote controller 30 . Therefore, the control circuit 33 may be configured to switch the control circuit 33 to perform the function (1) or the function (2) according to the number of reception confirmation signals received by the remote controller 30 .

When the operation unit 31 is operated and the operation is an instruction to control the first lighting fixture 12 based on the content of the setting information, the control circuit 33 executes the function (1). At this time, the control circuit 33 stores the setting information in the storage unit 34 and controls the first lighting fixtures 12 of each group based on the content of the setting information.

The setting information includes timer relationship information and data for setting or controlling the first lighting fixture 12 or the second lighting fixture 14 . The timer relationship information includes one or more of the current time, the timer setting time, the lighting state when the timer is activated, repetition information, and day of the week information. The timer setting time indicates the time when lighting control starts or ends. The amount of data of these setting information is large. Therefore, unlike the embodiment, all data of the setting information is transmitted from the remote controller to each first lighting fixture, and each first lighting fixture performs lighting control based on the content of the setting information, for example, when the timer setting time is reached. In the structure, the amount of data sent from the remote controller to each first lighting fixture increases. In this case, when there are reply signals from many first lighting fixtures to the remote controller, communication errors are likely to occur when the remote controller sends signals to each first lighting fixture, and the first lighting fixture where the communication error occurred cannot be operated. lighting fixture, therefore there is a possibility that the operability of the first lighting fixture is reduced. In the embodiment, the remote controller 30 has a control circuit 33 that controls the first lighting fixture 12 according to the content of the setting information. The control circuit 33 has (1) transmitting lighting during lighting control according to the content of the setting information. Control signal function. In addition, the first lighting fixture 12 controls lighting based on receipt of the lighting control signal. Accordingly, since communication errors are less likely to occur in transmission from the remote controller 30 , operability of the first lighting fixtures 12 when there are reply signals from many first lighting fixtures 12 to the remote controller 30 can be improved. In addition, a setting (configuration) that does not require replying to the lighting control signal may be used. In this case, communication performance is further improved and operability is also improved.

Specifically, the remote controller 30 has the storage part 34 and the timer part 35 as mentioned above. The storage unit 34 is implemented by ROM, RAM, HDD, flash memory, or the like. The storage unit 34 has a function of storing instructions for lighting control performed by operating the operation unit 31 . In addition, when the setting information is set by operating the operation unit 31, the storage unit 34 stores the setting information. In addition, the storage unit 34 stores programs. The control circuit 33 can control the first lighting fixture 12 based on the content of the setting information by executing the program stored in the storage unit 34 . In addition, the remote controller 30 is provided with a battery as a power source, and the setting information stored in the storage unit 34 is not erased when the power of the remote controller 30 is turned off.

The timer unit 35 measures time. The control circuit 33 calculates the difference between the start time of the lighting control at the timer set time and the current time as the set time, and causes the timer unit 35 to count the set time. In this case, the control circuit 33 sends a lighting control signal to each group. The control circuit 33 may use the day of the week information to determine whether the current day of the week is the day of the week to start the lighting control, and if the determination is positive, send the lighting control signal at the start time of the lighting control. In addition, when the lighting control signal is sent through the control circuit 33, the lighting state and the repetition information during the timer operation may also be used to control the lighting.

The remote controller 30 and the first lighting fixture 12 are communicably connected through wireless communication of BLE (registered trademark) Low Energy (BLE), for example. The plurality of first lighting fixtures 12 are also communicably connected to each other through wireless communication such as BLE. For example, the first lighting fixture 12 that receives the lighting control signal from the remote controller 30 sends a lighting control signal through BLE. The appliance IDs are set to the plurality of first lighting fixtures 12 and a signal including the appliance ID of the transmission destination is transmitted, so that the first lighting fixture 12 of the transmission destination reads the received signal when the received signal includes the ID of the own unit. signal to control the lighting state of the first lighting fixture 12.

As described above, the remote controller 30 transmits the lighting control signal to each group based on the set time of the timer unit 35. Therefore, the on-off state of the timer unit 35 can be confirmed through the remote controller 30.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a state in which a plurality of first lighting fixtures 12 are controlled by the remote controller 30 according to an example of the embodiment. In FIG. 3 , IDs assigned to each first lighting fixture 12 of group 1: numbers from 1 to 4 represent each fixture ID, and it is shown that the remote controller 30 transmits lighting to the first lighting fixture 12 with ID 4. Control signal situation. When the lighting control signal is transmitted from the remote controller 30 to the group 1, the first lighting fixture 12 with ID 4 is the first lighting fixture for which the remote controller 30 first receives transmission of the reception confirmation signal. In FIG. 3 , the case where the lighting control signal is transmitted from the remote controller 30 to the first lighting fixture 12 with ID 4 is shown by the hollow arrow given a circle of 1. In FIG. When the first lighting fixture 12 with ID 4 receives the lighting control signal from the remote controller 30 , as indicated by the dotted-dashed arrow with a circle of 2, it sends a signal indicating the reception to the remote controller 30 Receive confirmation signal. The receipt confirmation signal includes identification information of the first lighting fixture 12 that sent the signal. Furthermore, as shown by the thin solid arrow with a circle of 3, the first lighting fixture 12 with ID 4 transmits a lighting control signal to the other first lighting fixtures 12 with ID 4 in group 1. Accordingly, each first lighting fixture 12 that has received the lighting control signal is controlled to be lit. FIG. 3 illustrates the case of group 1. However, the case of groups 2 to 4 in FIG. 1 is also the same. Therefore, by transmitting lighting control signals from the remote controller 30 to the same number of first lighting fixtures 12 as the number of groups, lighting of all the first lighting fixtures 12 can be controlled. In addition, since only the first lighting fixtures 12 that are the same number as the number of groups transmit and receive confirmation signals to the remote controller 30 , the operability of the first lighting fixtures 12 can also be improved.

In addition, the remote controller 30 and the first lighting fixture 12 and the plurality of lighting fixtures 12 may be communicatively connected through other wireless communications such as Wi-Fi (registered trademark) and Bluetooth (registered trademark). .

In addition, in the above description, the case where the remote controller 30 first receives the transmission of the reception confirmation signal from the first lighting fixture 12 in each group transmits the lighting control signal to the other first lighting fixtures 12 in the same group. However, this may also be the case. The first lighting fixture 12 that sends the lighting control signal to the other first lighting fixtures 12 in each group may be determined in advance.

Furthermore, when the operation unit 31 (Fig. 2) is operated and the operation is an instruction to control the second lighting fixture 14 (Fig. 1) based on the content of the setting information related to the timer, the remote controller 30 The control circuit 33 (Fig. 2) performs the function (2). At this time, the control circuit 33 has a function of transmitting all the data of the setting information to the second lighting fixture 14 . When the second lighting fixture 14 receives the data of the setting information, the content of the setting information is set, and the lighting is controlled using a timer unit 35 (FIG. 4) described later based on the content of the setting information. Therefore, a detailed description will be given using FIG. 4 .

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the structure of the second lighting fixture 14 and the remote controller 30 that constitute the lighting system 10 according to an example of the embodiment. FIG. 4 shows a case where two second lighting fixtures 14 are present. The second lighting fixture 14 includes a communication unit 17, a control circuit 19, a light source unit 21, a storage unit 23, and a timer unit 25. The setting information is set when the second lighting fixture 14 receives transmission of the setting information from the remote controller 30 .

The control circuit 19 has, for example, a CPU, and executes calculation processing in accordance with the program stored in the storage unit 23 .

The light source unit 21 emits illumination light. For example, the light source unit 21 is an LED, a fluorescent lamp, a halogen lamp, or the like.

The storage unit 23 is implemented by ROM, RAM, HDD, flash memory, or the like. The storage unit 23 has a function of storing the received lighting control signal or the content of the setting information.

The timer unit 25 measures time. The control circuit 19 calculates the difference between the start time of the lighting control at the timer set time and the current time as the set time, and causes the timer unit 25 to count the set time. In this case, the control circuit 19 starts lighting control using the light source unit 21 . The control circuit 19 may use the day of the week information to determine whether the current day of the week is the day of the week to start the lighting control, and if the determination is positive, start the lighting control at the start time of the lighting control. In addition, when the lighting control is started by the control circuit 19, the lighting status and the repetition information when the timer is activated may be used to control the lighting.

The remote controller 30 and the second lighting fixture 14 are communicably connected through wireless communication such as BLE (Bluetooth (registered trademark) Low Energy), Wi-Fi (registered trademark), and Bluetooth (registered trademark).

When the user 1 sets the setting information to each second lighting fixture 14 , as shown by the two-dot chain line user 1 in FIG. 1 , the user 1 moves to the vicinity of each second lighting fixture 14 and operates it. The remote controller 30 thereby transmits all the data of the setting information to each second lighting fixture 14 from the remote controller 30 . When receiving the data of the setting information, each second lighting fixture 14 sets the content of the setting information. Therefore, in each second lighting fixture 14 , when the lighting control is started based on the set time of the timer unit 35 ( FIG. 4 ), the user 1 does not need to hold the remote controller 30 and is in each second lighting fixture. Around 14.
