5 is a flowchart illustrating a lighting control method according to an embodiment of the present invention. 6 is a schematic diagram showing a lighting control method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Hereinafter, a lighting control method according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

In the lighting control method, first, the lighting module 2 receives a registration signal from the main switch provided separately from the lighting control device 1 and switches to the registration mode (S510) may be performed.

On the other hand, the lighting module 2 may receive a registration signal from the main switch by performing wireless communication. In addition, the lighting module 2 may receive a control signal from the lighting control device 1 by performing wireless communication.

Here, the registration signal may be click input to the main switch at least once or more. Preferably, the registration signal may be a signal input to the main switch by clicking twice or three times within a predetermined time. The lighting module 2 may control the light source unit to generate a light emitting signal upon receiving the registration signal. Details of the light emitting signal will be described later.

Next, in response to receiving a predetermined input for the button unit of the lighting control device (1) from the user, transmitting a control signal including the identification information of the lighting control device (1) to the lighting module (2) (S520) can be performed.

For example, the control signal may include the MAC address of the lighting control device (1), each button unit (31, 32) identification information. Accordingly, the lighting control device 1 can be recognized by the lighting module 2 . And, the control signal may be generated by an arbitrary button unit click input pattern. For example, if the user inputs a pattern of pressing the first button unit within a predetermined time and then pressing the second button unit, a control signal may be generated accordingly. have.

Next, after the identification information of the lighting control device 1 is registered in the lighting module 2 according to the control signal, when an input to the button unit of the user corresponding to the control signal is received, the control signal is transmitted to the lighting module ( A step (S530) of controlling the light emitting mode of the lighting module 2 by transmitting to 2) may be performed.

Here, the light emission mode may include an on/off mode of the light source unit, a brightness change mode, and/or a light emission pattern mode. The on/off mode may be performed by supplying or blocking power to the light source unit. In the brightness change mode, the amount of power supplied to the light source unit may be controlled or the brightness of the light source unit may be changed by supplying power to only some of the plurality of light sources. In the light emission pattern mode, light emission patterns of various patterns may be generated by controlling on/off or brightness of the light source unit according to time.

Meanwhile, the registration signal may include a first registration signal that is an input corresponding to the on/off mode, and a second registration signal that is an input corresponding to a different brightness change mode from the first registration signal.

For example, the first registration signal may be set such that a click input to the main switch is performed twice within a predetermined time. In addition, the second registration signal may be set such that the click input is performed three times within a predetermined time. In addition, the classification of the registration signal may not depend on the number of click inputs, but may be divided by the duration of the click input. For example, the first registration signal may be set as a click input of 1 second or less, and the second registration signal may be set as a continuous click input of 1 second or more. On the other hand, the setting of the registration signal is not limited to the above description, and may be performed in a pattern distinguishable from each other in a different manner.

In addition, the lighting module 2 may cause the light source unit to generate a light emitting signal when receiving the registration signal. The light emitting signal may be generated in different patterns as the lighting module 2 receives the first registration signal or the second registration signal. For example, the light emitting signal corresponding to the first registration signal may be generated as the light source unit blinks twice, and the light emission signal corresponding to the second registration signal may be generated by the light source unit blinking 3 times. Meanwhile, the setting of the light emitting signal is not limited to the above description and may be performed in a pattern that can be distinguished from each other in a different manner.

The control signal may include a first control signal for controlling the on-off mode and a second control signal for controlling a different brightness change mode from the first control signal. For example, the first control signal may be generated in a pattern in which the first button unit is pressed within a predetermined time and then the second button unit is pressed. In addition, the second control signal may be generated in a pattern in which the first button unit is repeatedly pressed twice within a predetermined time. Meanwhile, the setting of the control signal is not limited to the above description and may be performed in a pattern distinguishable from each other in a different manner.

Meanwhile, in the brightness change mode, the brightness of the light source unit may be changed according to an input to the button unit of the lighting control device 1 . For example, in a state in which the lighting module 2 receives the second control signal and is switched to the brightness change mode, when the first button unit is clicked, the brightness may be increased, and if the second button unit is clicked, the brightness may be decreased.

On the other hand, if the same input control signal pattern of the lighting control device (1) in the case of registering a plurality of lighting control devices (1) in one lighting module (2), the same to each of the plurality of lighting control devices (1) By inputting the control signal of the pattern, it is possible to control the light emitting mode of the registered lighting module (2). In addition, when the lighting module 2 is registered by inputting different control signal patterns to the plurality of lighting control devices 1, the light emitting mode of the lighting module 2 through individual control signal pattern input for each lighting control device 1 can control

And, when the same control signal is set to the lighting module 2 in each case of registering a single lighting control device 1 in a plurality of lighting modules 2, as one lighting control device 1 is operated There is an effect that it is possible to simultaneously control the light emitting mode including the on-off or brightness change of the plurality of lighting modules (2).

For example, in the lighting control device 1, the on-off mode control is set by clicking the first button part 31 for the A lighting module, and the B lighting module clicks the second button part 32 It is set to be on-off mode control by doing, and the C lighting module can be set to be on-off mode control by clicking the first button part 31 and then clicking the second button part 32 . In this case, even if a plurality of lighting modules 2 are registered in one lighting control device 1 , there is an effect that each lighting module 2 can be individually controlled. On the other hand, the A lighting module can be controlled in the on-off mode if there is no input after a predetermined time after the first button part 31 is clicked, and the C lighting module is a predetermined time after the first button part 31 is clicked The on-off mode is controlled by clicking the second button unit 32 within, so that the A lighting module and the C lighting module can be controlled individually without overlapping control. In addition, even if it is individually controlled by registering each control signal in the plurality of lighting modules (2), for example, a predetermined control signal for pressing the preset first button unit 31 and the second button unit 32 at the same time The light emitting modes of the plurality of lighting modules 2 may be collectively controlled by the .

In addition, all of the A lighting module, the B lighting module and the C lighting module may be set to control the light emission mode by double-clicking the first button unit 31 . In this case, there is an effect that a plurality of lighting modules 2 can be collectively controlled with one lighting control device 1 .

7 is a schematic diagram showing a lighting control system according to another embodiment of the present invention. 8 is a schematic diagram showing a lighting control method according to another embodiment of the present invention.

7 and 8 , the main switch may be included in the removable outlet 3 ′. The removable outlet 3' may be a multi-tap for supplying power to the distant lighting module 2'. The main switch is included in the mobile outlet 3', and the mobile outlet 3' may transmit a registration signal to the lighting module 2' by performing wireless communication. In addition, the mobile outlet (3') may receive a control signal from the lighting control device (1) by performing wireless communication.

In addition, the lighting module 2' may have the form of a stand. The user clicks the button of the main switch in a specific pattern to generate a registration signal and transmits it to the lighting module 2', so that the lighting module 2' can generate a specific light emitting signal. The user may recognize this and control the light emitting mode of the lighting module 2' by inputting a control signal to the lighting control device 1 .

On the other hand, as an additional embodiment of the present invention, the processor 230 of the lighting module 2 recognizes that the registration signal has been received and a separate processor 230 internal circuit structure or algorithm for the process of switching to the registration mode will be defined. can

As described above, upon receiving the registration signal from the main switch, the processor 230 of the lighting module 2 switches to the registration mode. In this case, the registration signal may be click input to the main switch at least once within a predetermined time. If it is assumed that the main switch recognizes that the registration signal is generated when three inputs of ON-OFF-ON are generated within 1 second, this case can be implemented by various methodologies as follows.

As a first embodiment, the MCU 231 in the processor 230 may recognize whether a registration signal has been generated based on a variable recorded in the flash memory. For example, after the first main switch input is generated, if the next main switch input occurs within a specific time, the variable is added by 1, and if it exceeds the specific time, it is initialized to 0, and finally the variable is 3 In this case, it can be assumed that the mode is switched to the registration mode. As a specific example, when a main switch input (eg, ON) is generated, the variable may be set to 1. After that, if another input (eg, OFF) of the main switch occurs within a specific time (eg, 1 second), 1 is added to set the variable to 2, and when the specified time is exceeded, the variable is set to 0. If the input of the main switch (eg, ON) occurs again within a specific time in the state where the variable is 2, the variable becomes 3, and the registration mode can be switched. In this case, when three main switch inputs of ON-OFF-ON are generated, the registration signal may be regarded as being input.

As a second embodiment, the circuit shown in FIG. 9 may be configured. In a circuit in which a capacitor and a resistor are connected, the capacitor voltage starts from 0V, draws a gentle curve, increases in proportion to time, and only after a time constant (τ=RC) has passed, the voltage equal to the driving voltage is reached. First, it is assumed that τ = 2 seconds and the driving voltage = 3V. At this time, the capacitor voltage has a value higher than 1.5V after 1 second has elapsed in a situation where the capacitor voltage is filled with 3V. When S1 and S2 are closed (switched on), 3V is applied to C1 when both C1 and C2 are lower than 1.5V, and 3V is applied to both C1 and C2 when C1>1.5V and C2<1.5V, and C1 If both and C2 are designed to switch to the registration mode when both are higher than 1.5 V, the registration signal can be regarded as input when three main switch inputs of ON-OFF-ON occur. Specifically, when the first input of the 1.5V main switch is generated, the MCU 231 applies a driving voltage of 3V to C1. Thereafter, when the next input of the main switch is generated within 1 second, the MCU 231 recognizes that C1 is higher than 1.5V and C2 is lower than 1.5V, and applies 3V to C1 and C2. Thereafter, when the next input of the main switch is generated within 1 second, the MCU 231 recognizes that both C1 and C2 are higher than 1.5V, and at this time, can be switched to the registration mode. The above-described capacitor, resistor, and driving voltage values are merely examples and may be variously modified.

The third embodiment may be a hybrid method in which the first and second embodiments are mixed. A circuit as shown in FIG. 10 can be configured. For example, when τ = 2 seconds, driving voltage = 3V, and S3 is closed (switched on), 3V is applied to C3 when the main switch input occurs, the variable written to the flash memory is set to 1, and the If the voltage is lower than 1.5V, the variable written to the flash memory is initialized to 0, and when the voltage of C3 is higher than 1.5V, the variable written to the flash memory is added by 1 to switch to the registration mode when it becomes 3. When three main switch inputs of , ON-OFF-ON are generated, the registration signal can be regarded as input.

The second embodiment has an advantage in that the overload of the flash memory can be reduced, and the third embodiment has an advantage in that the circuit structure of the processor 230 can be configured in a compact manner.

On the other hand, as an additional embodiment, the lighting control device 1 is designed to be implemented in the form of a contact sensor including a piezoelectric element and a communication sensor to control the lighting module, and may be installed on a footrest, chair, cushion, etc. . In this case, when the user enters the house and sits on the sofa, an example such that the living room fluorescent lamp is automatically turned on may be implemented. In other words, it is possible to build an IOT environment in which peripheral electronic devices automatically operate based on the user's behavior even if the user does not directly operate it.

The lighting control device 1 according to the present invention described above has an effect of generating and inputting control signals of various patterns, including a plurality of button parts 31 and 32 . Accordingly, there is an effect that the plurality of lighting modules (2, 2') and the electronic device of one lighting control device 1 can be separately controlled, respectively.

The lighting control device 1, the lighting modules 2, 2', the fixed power switch 3', and/or the movable outlet 3' according to the present invention perform wireless communication with each other and the lighting modules 2, 2' ) to register the lighting control device 1, and according to the input of the button unit 30 of the lighting control device 1, it is possible to remotely control the light emitting mode of the lighting modules (2, 2').
