When the light emitter (20) is a single color LED, the power used for each single color LED and the brightness of each single color LED when the brightness value is 1.0, which is registered in advance for each single color LED. Is the sum of the individual power consumption of all the single-color LEDs.
The amount of power used by the light emitter (20) is:

  Thereby, the visual impression in actual illumination can be better understood from the average value of the brightness of the displayed illuminant (20). In addition, it is possible to grasp how the power is used when the illumination is actually performed from the displayed items regarding the used power. Thereby, it is possible to control illumination that looks good while saving energy so that the amount of power used does not exceed a predetermined value.

In the lighting control device (1) of [ 3 ], the average value of the brightness of the illuminant (20) and the power used by the illuminant (20) are obtained throughout the entire time required for the execution of the illumination change pattern.

Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
Each figure shows an embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 1 is a screen diagram showing one of simulation screens displayed by the lighting control apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing a schematic configuration of an illumination control device and a light emitter according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a screen diagram showing a simulation screen different from the simulation screen shown in FIG.

  The illumination control device 1 according to the present embodiment shown in FIG. 2 controls the illumination performed by turning on and off a plurality of light emitters arranged in a ferris wheel, for example. This simulation can be performed on a display screen of a display connected to the computer 10. Each of the light emitters 20 illustrated in FIG. 2 is connected to the computer 10 of the lighting control device 1 via the hub substrate 11.

  The computer 10 of the lighting control device 1 stores software for executing an illumination pattern for causing a plurality of full-color LED terminals to emit light and extinguish. A plurality of patterns can be registered as illumination patterns. The illumination pattern can be registered with customization such as changing the color. Various operations of the computer 10 are performed by a keyboard and a mouse.

  In the lighting control device 1, it is possible to set which pattern is used for illumination in which time zone of the day. This setting can be registered in units of weeks or months.

  The illuminant 20 is a full-color LED terminal (RGBLED) capable of developing about 16.77 million colors with RGB 256 gradations. Each full color LED terminal 20 has a RGB LED element 22 connected to a microcomputer substrate 23 in a resin casing 21 and is potted with filled silicon. Further, a diffusion cover 24 for diffusing light from the RGBLED elements 22 is provided on the housing 21. Serial communication data is transmitted from the computer 10 to light up the full color LED terminal 20 with an arbitrary brightness.

  FIG. 1 is one of the simulation screens displayed on the display of the illumination control apparatus 1. On this screen, a simulation display area 110 for displaying a simulation when illumination by the full color LED terminal 20 is performed with the selected illumination pattern is defined. Below the simulation area 110, a time display area 120 indicating a set execution time zone in which the selected illumination pattern is actually executed by the ferris wheel is displayed by a scroll bar.

  In the time display area 120, an illumination time bar 121 indicating which time in the implementation time zone is displayed in the simulation area 110 is displayed. The illumination time bar 121 can be moved forward or backward by scrolling or dragging and dropping. When the illumination time bar 121 is stopped by scrolling or the like, the illumination performed at that time is displayed in the simulation area 110.

  As described above, the simulation can be displayed over the entire time required for performing the illumination pattern. The display by simulation can be a change display that changes continuously as in the case of actual illumination, or a static display in which the state of illumination at a specific time is displayed stationary. In the case of a change display, the speed at which the illumination changes may be made faster or slower than the actual change.

  There is a graph display area 130 near the lower end of the screen, and the graph display area 130 can selectively display the grayscale average value and power consumption of the full-color LED terminal 20 in the simulated illumination. it can. In FIG. 1, the grayscale average value of the brightness of the full color LED terminal 20 is displayed in a graph. In this graph, the vertical axis is the density average value, and the horizontal axis is time.

  On the left side of the screen between the graph display area 130 and the time display area 120, a display selection unit 140 for selectively selecting a graph to be displayed in the graph display area 130 from the grayscale average value and the electric power used is arranged. ing. In the example shown in the figure, since the grayscale average value of the brightness of the full-color LED terminal 20 is selected, it is displayed in bold indicating that the “dark grayscale value” is selected. Further, on the right side of the screen between the graph display area 130 and the time display area 120, a used power amount display unit 150 that displays a used power amount in a numerical value of kilowatt hours (unit) is arranged.

  The graph of the brightness grayscale average value of the full-color LED terminal 20 displayed in the graph display area 130 can be a continuous graph display throughout the time required for the execution of the illumination change pattern. The displayed screen is displayed every 10 minutes. The display for 10 minutes each is because the number of pixels in the horizontal direction of the display connected to the computer is generally about 600 to 1080 pixels, so one screen displays 600 seconds, that is, 10 minutes. Because it was decided to do. Therefore, in the graph, one pixel in the horizontal direction displays data for one second.

  In FIG. 1, each arrow indicates data per second as shown in a circle and enlarged. The graph display area 130 is displayed with a mountain-like portion that continuously changes along the statistical result.

  FIG. 3 shows a similar simulation screen, in which a graph of power consumption is displayed. In this graph, the vertical axis represents power used and the horizontal axis represents time. This power consumption graph is also displayed for 10 minutes. One horizontal pixel is a data display for one second.

  The fact that the used electric energy is displayed on the used electric energy display unit 150 of the screen shown in FIG. 3 is the same as the display of the grayscale average value graph on the screen shown in FIG. Therefore, the used power amount is displayed as a numerical value on the used power amount display unit 150 regardless of whether the brightness average of the full-color LED terminal 20 or the used power is displayed.

Here, assuming that the illumination is at a frame rate of f times per second, the graph display values for each “second density average value” and “power consumption” for each second are as follows.
f is a frame rate of illumination, S ₁ , S ₂ ..., S _t ,..., S _f are lighting data at 1 / f second, lighting data at 2 / f second,. Lighting data at t / f seconds,... lighting data at the first second. The lighting data every 1 / f seconds is registered in the computer 10 in advance.

Next, the “darkness average value” of the brightness of the illuminant during illumination will be described.
The “gradation average value” is an individual average for each full-color LED terminal 20 by arithmetically averaging the R gradation value, the G gradation value, and the B gradation value for each full-color LED terminal 20 in one light emission. An average value is calculated, and an arithmetic average of individual average values of all the full-color LED terminals 20 is obtained. When this is defined by the value of the RGB lighting command to the full-color LED terminal 20 and the number of full-color LED terminals 20 to be connected, the following expression is obtained.

Here, a _mean is a grayscale average value, and n is the number of full-color LED terminals 20 to be connected. _{Further, r 1, g 1, b} 1 and the like are RGB _{values, r 1, r 2, r} 3, respectively ····· _{r n,} 1 single th R floor among a plurality of full color LED terminal 20 The tone value, the second R gradation value, the third R gradation value,... The nth R gradation value. Similarly, g ₁ , g ₂ , g ₃ ,..., G _n are respectively the first G gradation value, the second G gradation value, 3 of the plurality of full color LED terminals 20. pedestal th value of G gradation, the value of G gradation · · · · · n stand _{th, b 1, b 2, b} 3, ····· b n are each a plurality of full color LED terminal 20 B values of the first B gradation, 2nd B gradation value, 3rd B gradation value,... Nth B gradation value.

  The above description is for the full-color LED terminal 20, but when the light emitter is a single-color LED terminal, the “light / dark average value” is the brightness value of each single-color LED terminal in a single emission. This is an arithmetic average of LED terminals. This light and shade average value is defined by the following equation.

Here, a _mean is a grayscale average value, and n is the number of monochromatic LED terminals to be connected. _Further, l _1, l 2, · · · · · _{l n} are each first unit of brightness values of a plurality of single-color LED terminal, second unit of brightness values, · · · · · n stand th Is the brightness value. The brightness value is 1.0 when the monochrome LED terminal is lit and used at 100% brightness and is 0.5 when lit and used at 50% brightness.

Next, the “power consumption” of the light emitter that is performing illumination will be described.
“Used power” is obtained by accumulating the used power of each full-color LED terminal 20 when the RGB value is 1.0 to the RGB value of each full-color LED terminal 20, This is the sum of the individual power consumption of the full color LED terminal 20. The power used by each full-color LED terminal 20 when the RGB value is 1.0 is registered in advance in the computer 10 for each full-color LED terminal 20.

This “power consumption” is expressed by the following two equations.
Here, P _n is the n-th used power of the plurality of full-color LED terminals 20, C _n is the n-th RGB value of the plurality of full-color LED terminals 20, and W _n (l = 1. 0) is power used by the n-th full-color LED terminal 20 when the RGB value of the n-th plurality of full-color LED terminals 20 is 1.0. This W _n (l = 1.0) is data registered in the computer 10 in advance.

Here, P _t1 is the power used for 1 second. Each of p ₁ ,..., _pn is an individual use power for 1 second in the first unit,.

Next, the amount of power used is a cumulative value of the power used P _t1 for one second within a predetermined time, and can be expressed as the following equation.
Here, P _all is the amount of power used, and P ₁ ,..., P _T are values of power used for the first one second after starting lighting,. Is the value of power used.

  The above description is about the full-color LED terminal 20, but the “power consumption” in the case where the light emitter is a single-color LED terminal has a brightness value of 1.0 to the brightness value of each single-color LED terminal. The sum of the individual power consumption of all the single color LED terminals is obtained by integrating the power consumption of each single color LED terminal as the individual power consumption of each single color LED terminal. The power consumption of each single color LED terminal when the brightness value is 1.0 is registered in advance in the computer 10 for each single color LED terminal.

This “power consumption” is expressed by the following two equations.
Here, _{P n} is the n-number-th power usage of a plurality of single-color LED terminal, _{l n} is the brightness value of the n-number-th of the plurality of single-color LED _terminal, W n (l = 1. 0) is power used for the n-th monochromatic LED terminal when the brightness value of the n-th monochromatic LED terminal is 1.0. W _n (l = 1.0) is data registered in the computer 10 in advance.

Here, P is the power used. Each of p ₁ ,..., _pn is an individual use power in the first unit,.

  The amount of power used in the case of a single color LED terminal is defined similarly to the amount of power used in the case of the full color LED terminal 20.

Next, the operation of the illumination control device 1 according to the present embodiment will be described.
The lighting control device 1 can display a screen as shown in FIG. 4 as a screen for lighting control by the computer 10. FIG. 4 is an example of a screen displayed when the status tab is selected, and is a control state display screen showing a control state of illumination. On this screen, the current date and time are displayed.

  In addition, the illumination pattern that is selected, the lighting time at which the illumination by the pattern is started, and the turn-off time at which the illumination ends are displayed. According to this screen, it can be seen that the illumination by the pattern 1 is set to be executed from 18:00 to 21:00.

  In addition, the control changeover switch can be manually selected, and the control switch cannot be turned on or off. Furthermore, the status is “standby”. Therefore, it is displayed that the illumination is not started at the current time but the illumination is automatically started in the pattern 1 when the lighting time comes.

  FIG. 5 is a screen displaying a control state different from that in FIG. 4. The changeover switch can select automatic, and the control switch can select lighting. The status is “standby”. Therefore, although this screen is not illuminated at the current time, the full color LED terminal 20 can be turned on.

  FIG. 6 is a screen displaying a control state different from those in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5. The changeover switch can be selected to be automatic, and the control switch can be turned off. The status is “lighting”. Accordingly, although the set lighting time has not been reached, it is displayed that the illumination is performed in pattern 1 by manual operation. It can also be seen that the illumination can be stopped by selecting the extinction with the control switch.

  FIG. 7 shows an example of a calendar screen that displays an illumination schedule. This calendar screen is displayed when the calendar tab is selected. Since the year and month are displayed in a scrollable manner on the displayed screen, it is possible to grasp the actual illumination that has been actually performed by scrolling back to the past. In addition, by scrolling to the future, it is possible to confirm the implementation of future illumination.

  In the illustrated screen, the date is displayed from 1st to 30th in November, and the time zone is displayed for about 8 hours from 16:00 to 0:00. The time period of about 8 hours can be displayed by shifting by scrolling. From this screen, it is shown that the illumination is set to be performed every day from November 1st to 30th.

  In addition, the time bar displayed as pattern 1 extends from 18:00 to 21:00, and it is shown that the actual illumination is performed for these three hours. In addition, since the bar can be expanded and contracted by dragging and dropping the tip of the time bar during the illumination time period, the lighting start time and the lighting time of the full-color LED terminal 20 by the pattern 1 can be changed by this method. it can.

  FIG. 8 is a calendar screen diagram similar to FIG. 7, but the displayed time zone is expanded to a width of 10 hours or more from 16:00 to 2:00. 9 is a calendar screen diagram similar to FIG. 7 or FIG. 8, but the displayed time zone is wider than that of FIG. 8 and extends over 14 hours from 16:00 to 6:00. ing. The operator can arbitrarily select which of the calendar screens having different displayed time zones is to be displayed.

  In this way, since the calendar screens shown in FIGS. 7 to 9 can display all the schedules for one month, it is possible to input while confirming the input and confirmation of all the schedules for one month on one screen. And operability is improved. In addition, since the width of the time zone to be displayed can be changed, the operator can easily and surely perform operations such as input by selecting an easy-to-see screen.

  Further, on the calendar display screen, a display portion indicating each of Sundays and holidays is displayed as a bright vermilion on a white screen. Furthermore, characters such as “2 days” indicating the date may be displayed in bright vermilion. In this way, according to the combination of white and bright vermilion, even a so-called faint operator clearly discriminates Sundays and public holidays shown in bright vermilion and other days shown in white can do.

  10 to 14 are screens displayed when setting and registering a pattern for performing illumination. These screens are displayed when the pattern registration tab is selected. FIG. 10 shows a screen displayed when patterns 1 and 2 are registered in advance in the computer 10.

  To select and register settings for pattern 1, click “Register pattern 1 (001-016.dat)” on this screen. Then, as shown in FIG. 11, an “open file” window is displayed over the screen of FIG. In this window, it is displayed that the pattern 1 is composed of data divided into 16.

  When all data (00001 to 00001.dat) is selected in FIG. 11, the screen shown in FIG. 12 is displayed. When “OK” is clicked on this screen, the screen shown in FIG. 13 is displayed, and when “OK” displayed on the screen is clicked, the screen shown in FIG. 14 is displayed and setting registration is completed. Note that the data divided into 16 can be changed to the pattern 1 by thinning it out as appropriate.

  FIG. 15 is a schedule batch change screen that is displayed when changing the schedule established by setting and registering the illumination pattern as described above. In this screen, as shown in FIG. 7, on the calendar screen, “edit” in the menu bar is clicked and “schedule batch change” in the child window is selected. As a result, schedules, patterns, and the like can be changed all at once without using the calendar screen.

  The items that can change the illumination execution schedule on the displayed schedule change screen include, for example, the year, month, and day when the illumination is performed, the period set by these, the illumination start and end times, the illumination pattern, and the day This is the number of times the illumination is performed.

  On this screen, set the illumination start time and end time, illumination pattern, number of illuminations performed per day, etc., and set the period according to the year, month, and day. The time, illumination pattern, number of illuminations performed per day, etc. can be changed all at once. In addition, there are check boxes for each day of the week and holidays as shown lightly on the screen, and by checking and specifying this check box, it is also possible to make batch changes regarding the checked day of the week and the like.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 16, when the implementation day is set as a day of the week, it is possible to change the day when the illumination is performed or the day when the illumination is not performed. Note that the screens illustrated in FIGS. 7 to 9 show that the illumination is performed in the pattern 1 on all the days, but the day on which the pattern 2 is performed and the specified day of the week can be entered. In FIG. 10, the pattern 1 and the pattern 2 are displayed so that they can be selected. However, three or more patterns may be registered so that the patterns can be selected appropriately.

  When simulating illumination, the screen shown in FIG. 1 or 3 is displayed. In the simulation area 110, illumination by the pattern set and registered as described above is simulated.

  When simulating illumination, a simulation screen designated in FIG. 1 or 3 is displayed. The operator can arbitrarily select which simulation screen is displayed. When it is desired to confirm the average value of the brightness of the full color LED terminal 20 of actual illumination simultaneously with the simulation, the illumination screen shown in FIG. 1 is selected. This screen makes it easy to analyze the illumination change pattern and better understand the visual impression of the actual illumination.

  Moreover, since the average value of the brightness of the full-color LED terminal 20 is displayed as a continuous graph for 10 minutes, the analysis focusing on the brightness can be performed more accurately. Moreover, since the power consumption is displayed numerically, the power consumption can also be confirmed. The average value of the brightness and the power consumption can be used as a reference when changing the illumination setting. For example, it is possible to set illumination control that looks good while saving energy so that the amount of power used does not exceed a predetermined value.

  The simulation can be displayed over the entire time required for the actual illumination, but since the predetermined pattern is repeated for the illumination, if the pattern for one time is analyzed from the start to the end, the illumination is understood over the entire time required. can do.

  In order to display the power consumption in a graph instead of the average value of the brightness of the full-color LED terminal 20 displayed in a graph in the graph display area 130 in FIG. 1, from the display selection unit 140 on the illumination screen in FIG. What is necessary is just to select "electric power amount". According to FIG. 3 displayed in this way, it is possible to perform the analysis with attention to the power used more accurately. Also, since the power consumption is displayed on this screen, the power consumption and power consumption can be used as a reference when changing the illumination settings.

  In both simulation screens of FIG. 1 and FIG. 3, while the execution of the illumination change pattern is being simulated, the simulation is paused, and the illumination state at the specific time is displayed statically. can do. Therefore, the average value of the brightness of the light emitter 20 at a specific time point and the power used by the full-color LED terminal 20 can be confirmed accurately.

  According to such a simulation screen, it is easy to confirm the lighting pattern. As a result, for example, in the test process, when it is found on the simulation screen that the lighting contents by time are the same pattern, for example, from 0 minute to 3 minutes, the visual confirmation is performed for 1 minute from 0 minute to 3 minutes. Therefore, the efficiency of the test process can be improved.

  Further, since the average value of the brightness of the full-color LED terminal 20 and the statistical values such as power consumption are displayed in a graph in parallel on the illumination time bar 121 which is a scroll bar, for example, from 0 minutes to 3 minutes in the above test process It is possible to grasp at a glance whether or not the average values of the RGB shades are the same, and this can also increase the efficiency of the test process.

However, the specific configuration is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and the present invention can be changed or added without departing from the scope of the present invention. Included in the invention.
