Description

The present invention relates to a rod light .

Recently, there have been portable lights that change the light color associated with swinging the light body in a specific direction in response to the movement of the light body in that direction (see Patent Document 1).

On the other hand, there is also a rod-shaped light in which the color displayed on the color display button changes each time the color selection buttons are pressed in a predetermined order, and when the color display button is pressed, the light source emits light in the color displayed on the color display button (see Patent Document 2).

JP 2016-4690 A Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2015-204246

However, with the portable light in Patent Document 1, a specific swinging motion is required to change the color to the desired one, and the correspondence between the specific swinging motion and the emitted color must be memorized in order to change the color to the desired one, making it difficult for users to use.

Furthermore, with the rod-shaped light shown in Patent Document 2, there was a problem in that it was not possible to emit light in the desired color unless the color selection button was pressed multiple times in some cases until the desired color displayed on the color display button was achieved.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and has as its object to provide a rod-shaped light that can emit light in a desired color more easily than conventional light sources.

In order to solve the above problem, a light-emitting device according to one aspect of the present invention comprises a light-emitting unit, a storage unit that stores information indicating a predetermined order that determines the order in which the light-emitting unit will emit light of multiple colors, a first button that switches between the multiple colors that the light-emitting unit will emit light of in the predetermined order, a setting unit that sets one color from the multiple colors as a recommended color, a second button that accepts input to make the light-emitting unit emit light in the recommended color, and a light-emitting control unit that, in response to a first predetermined input from the user to the first button, causes the light-emitting unit to emit light in one of the multiple colors according to a predetermined order, and, in response to a first predetermined input from the user to the second button, causes the light-emitting unit to emit light in the recommended color regardless of the predetermined order.

In order to solve the above problem, one aspect of the present invention provides a light-emission control method for a light-emitting device that includes a light-emitting unit, a storage unit that stores information indicating a predetermined order for determining the order in which the light-emitting unit will emit light in multiple colors, a first button, and a second button, and includes a setting step of setting one color from the multiple colors as a recommended color, a first light-emission control step of causing the light-emitting unit to emit light in one of the multiple colors according to a predetermined order in response to a first predetermined input from the user to the first button, and a second light-emission control step of causing the light-emitting unit to emit light in the recommended color regardless of the predetermined order in response to a first predetermined input from the user to the second button.

The above device may also include a third button that switches between the multiple colors that the light-emitting unit emits in a reverse order to a predetermined order, and the light-emitting control unit may cause the light-emitting unit to emit one of the multiple colors in a reverse order to the predetermined order in response to a first predetermined input from the user to the second button.

In the above device, the setting unit may further set a light-emitting pattern indicating a light-emitting sequence desired by the user from among a plurality of colors, the storage unit may further store information indicating the light-emitting pattern, the light-emitting device may further include a selection unit that selects either a light-emitting pattern or a predetermined sequence, and the light-emitting control unit may cause the light-emitting unit to emit light in one of the plurality of colors in accordance with either the light-emitting sequence indicated by the light-emitting pattern selected in the selection unit or the predetermined sequence, in accordance with an input from the user to the first button or a first predetermined input from the user to the second button.

In the above device, the storage unit stores information indicating the light-emitting colors that indicate the light-emitting pattern and the predetermined sequence, and the selection unit, when the light-emitting unit is not emitting light and a second predetermined input is received from the third button or both the first and third buttons, begins selecting a light-emitting sequence from the light-emitting sequence indicated by the light-emitting pattern or the light-emitting sequence indicated by the predetermined sequence. The light-emitting control unit, while selecting the light-emitting sequence, causes the light-emitting unit to emit a light color that indicates either the light-emitting pattern or the predetermined sequence, and switches the light-emitting color that indicates either the light-emitting pattern or the predetermined sequence in accordance with the user's input to the first button. When the user receives a second predetermined input from the first button or the third button while selecting the light-emitting sequence, the selection unit may select the light-emitting pattern or the predetermined sequence that corresponds to the light-emitting color that the light-emitting unit is emitting at that time as the light-emitting sequence for light-emitting control.

In the above device, the selection unit may delete from the storage unit the light-emitting pattern corresponding to the light color currently being emitted by the light-emitting unit in accordance with a second predetermined input to both the first button and the third button during selection of the light-emitting order.

In the above device, when the light-emitting device is not emitting light and a second predetermined input is received from the third button or from both the first and third buttons, the setting unit begins setting a light-emitting pattern. During the setting of the light-emitting pattern, the setting unit stores the light-emitting color of the light-emitting unit as one of the light-emitting colors in accordance with the first predetermined input from the user to the first button. During the setting of the light-emitting pattern, the light-emitting control unit switches the light-emitting color of the light-emitting unit in accordance with the first predetermined input from the user to the third button. During the setting of the light-emitting pattern, the setting unit may store in the memory a light-emitting pattern in which the light-emitting colors stored up to that point are used as the light-emitting order in accordance with the second predetermined input from the user to the first or third button.

In the above device, the light-emitting device may be a rod-shaped light.

The rod-shaped light according to one aspect of the present invention can emit light of a desired color by simply pressing a button, by setting a specific color for a specific button.

Below, a light-emitting device according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

<Embodiment>
<Configuration>
Fig. 1 is an external view showing the appearance of a light emitting device 100. As shown in Fig. 1, the light emitting device 100 is, for example, a rod-shaped light.

As shown in Figure 1, the light-emitting device 100 comprises a light-emitting unit 120 and a gripping unit 140 connected via a connecting unit 130.

The light-emitting unit 120 has the function of emitting light. The light-emitting unit 120 may emit light itself, or a light-emitting body may be provided in the connection portion 130, and light projected from the light-emitting body passes through the light-emitting unit 120 to emit light. The light-emitting unit 120 may be configured, for example, by providing a decorative sheet that transmits and diffuses light inside a cylindrical transparent plastic body, which diffuses light from light-emitting bodies that emit light in various colors and are provided in the connection portion 130, and projects the light into the surrounding area. Examples of light-emitting bodies include light-emitting diodes and LEDs. Alternatively, the light-emitting unit 120 may be realized by providing an LED sheet inside a cylindrical transparent plastic body with its light-emitting surface facing outward.

The connection unit 130 is a connecting member that connects the light-emitting unit 120 and the grip unit 140. The connection unit 130 may be configured to connect the light-emitting unit 120 and the grip unit using, for example, a screw structure or a locking member. Various conventional methods may be used to connect the light-emitting unit 120 and the grip unit 140.

The gripping portion 140 is a member with which the user grips the light-emitting device 100. The gripping portion 140 may take any form as long as it is configured to allow the user to grip the light-emitting device 100. The gripping portion 140 may be molded integrally with the connecting portion 130.

The grip portion 140 includes a first button 111, a second button 112, and a third button 113. The first button 111, the second button 112, and the third button 113 are made of, for example, a resin such as plastic, and are configured to be depressible. Although not shown in FIG. 1, the first button 111, the second button 112, and the third button 113 each accept operations related to emitting light from the light-emitting device 100 or controlling the emission of light. Here, each button is described as a press-type button, but this is not limited to this, and each button may have the function of accepting input from the user. For example, each button may be implemented as a touch sensor.

The gripping portion 140 has an internal power supply (not shown) for operating the light-emitting device 100. The gripping portion 140 is configured to allow the power supply to be removed, and the power supply can be inserted or removed by removing the power supply cover 150. The power supply cover 150 is configured to be freely attachable to the gripping portion 140. The power supply cover 150 may be attached to the gripping portion 140 in any manner; for example, it may be attached to the gripping portion 140 by screws, or it may be engaged with a claw-shaped member, for example.

Figure 2 is a block diagram showing an example configuration of the light-emitting device 100. As shown in Figure 2, the light-emitting device 100 includes a first button 111, a second button 112, a third button 113, a light-emitting unit 120, a light-emitting control unit 121, a setting unit 122, a selection unit 123, and a storage unit 124.

The first button 111 is a button that can be pressed by the user. The first button 111 is a button that can detect both a short press (a press that does not continue for more than a predetermined time) and a long press (a press that continues for more than a predetermined time).

The second button 112 is a button that can be pressed by the user. The second button 112 is a button that can detect both short presses (presses that do not continue for more than a predetermined period of time) and long presses (presses that continue for more than a predetermined period of time).

The third button 113 is a button that can be pressed by the user. The third button 113 is a button that can detect both a short press (a press that does not continue for more than a predetermined time) and a long press (a press that continues for more than a predetermined time).

The light-emitting unit 120 emits light in a specified color from among multiple colors. The light-emitting unit 120 is realized, for example, by a light-emitting diode or LED. The light-emitting unit 120 emits light in accordance with instructions from the light-emitting control unit 121.

The light-emission control unit 121 has a function to control the light emission of the light-emitting unit 120. The light-emission control unit 121 has a function to perform light-emission processing of the light-emitting unit 120 in accordance with the content of presses, such as a short press or long press of the first button 111, a short press or long press of the second button 112, or a short press or long press of the third button 113, in various situations, such as when the light-emitting unit 120 is emitting light, when it is not emitting light, when a light-emission pattern is being set, or when a light-emission pattern is being selected. When the light-emission unit 120 is emitting light, the light-emission control unit 121 detects a press of the second button 112, regardless of the selected light-emission pattern, and causes the light-emitting unit 120 to emit light in the recommended color set in the memory unit 124 by the setting unit 122. Details of the light-emission processing by the light-emission control unit 121 will be described later with reference to the flowcharts shown in Figures 4 to 6.

The setting unit 122 has the function of setting the light emission pattern. Triggered by detecting a long press of the first button 111 or both the first button 111 and the third button 113, the setting unit 122 executes a light emission pattern setting process. Details of the light emission pattern setting process performed by the setting unit 122 will be described later with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. 6.

The setting unit 122 also has a function of setting a recommended color to illuminate the light-emitting unit 120 in the color desired by the user, regardless of the order of the light-emitting patterns while the light-emitting unit 120 is emitting light. If the setting unit 122 detects that the user has pressed and held the second button 112 while the light-emitting unit 120 is emitting light, the setting unit 122 stores the color of light emitted by the light-emitting unit 120 at that time in the memory unit 124 as the recommended color.

The selection unit 123 has a function of selecting an illumination pattern to be used from the illumination patterns stored in the storage unit 124. The selection unit 123 executes an illumination pattern selection process when it detects a long press of the first button 111 or both the first button 111 and the third button 113. Details of the illumination pattern selection process performed by the selection unit 123 will be described later with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. 6.

Each of the light-emission control unit 121, setting unit 122, and selection unit 123 is implemented by a processor, which executes a program stored in the storage unit 124 to achieve the above-mentioned light-emission control, setting process, and selection process. Note that the light-emission control unit 121, setting unit 122, and selection unit 123 may be implemented by a single processor or multiple processors.

The storage unit 124 is a storage medium having a function of storing various programs and data required for the operation of the light-emitting device 100. The storage unit 124 is realized by, for example, an HDD, an SSD, a flash memory, a RAM, a ROM, etc. The storage unit 124 stores programs such as a light-emission control program for light-emission control, a setting program for setting a light-emission pattern, and a selection program for selecting a light-emission pattern, as well as light-emission pattern information 300 indicating the set light-emission pattern, and light-emission colors set as recommended colors.
The above is the configuration of the light emitting device 100.

<Data>
FIG. 3 is a conceptual data diagram showing an example of the data structure of light emission pattern information 300 stored in the storage unit 124 of the light emitting device 100. As shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 3, the light emission pattern information 300 is information in which a pattern name 301 is associated with a light emission order 302. The light emission pattern information 300 is information that specifies the light emission color to be emitted by the light emitting unit 120 of the light emitting device 100.

Pattern name 301 is identification information that allows light-emitting device 100 to uniquely identify the light-emitting pattern. Here, pattern name 301 is shown as a name for ease of understanding, but pattern name 301 may be expressed as a number, symbol, etc. as long as it can be distinguished from other light-emitting patterns.

The light-emitting sequence 302 is information indicating the order of the light-emitting colors that the light-emitting unit 120 will emit. The light-emitting sequence 302 indicates a number indicating the order of light-emitting and the color associated with that number. For example, in the case of the default pattern, which is one of the light-emitting patterns, the light-emitting device 100 emits light in the forward order of "red, navy blue, white, orange, green, purple, peach, ...." When emitting light in the forward order, the light-emitting device 100 emits light in the above order in the case of the default pattern. When emitting light in the reverse order, the light-emitting device 100 emits light in the order of "red, peach, purple, green, orange, white, navy blue, red, ...," since the default pattern does not include colors after peach. In addition, colors may not be assigned to numbers in the light-emitting sequence, in which case they are indicated by "-" in the example in Figure 3. This light-emitting sequence loops between the first color, color 1, and the last color in the light-emitting sequence. That is, as shown in FIG. 8, in the case of memory pattern 1, which is one of the light emission patterns, each time the first button 111 is pressed briefly while the light-emitting unit 120 is emitting light, the light emission color changes in the following order: white, green, blue, white, green, blue, white, ...

Identification color 303 is information indicating the emission color uniquely associated with each emission pattern, allowing the user to recognize which emission pattern they are currently selecting when selecting an emission pattern. In other words, when selecting an emission pattern, for example, if red is emitted, this indicates that memory turn 1 is selected.

<Operation>
Next, we will explain the operation of the light emitting device 100. Fig. 4 is a main flowchart showing an example of the operation of the light emitting device 100. The flowchart shown in Fig. 4 shows processing that starts from a state in which the light emitting device 100 is not emitting light.

The light-emitting device 100 determines whether there has been an input to at least one of the first button 111, second button 112, and third button 113, depending on whether any of the buttons has been pressed by the user (step S401). If there has been an input (YES in step S401), the process proceeds to step S402; if there has been no input (NO in step S401), the process waits until there is an input.

If the input is a long press of the first button 111 (YES in step S402), the light emission control unit 121 starts the light emission control process shown in step S403. Details of the light emission control process will be described later. When the light emission control unit 121 ends the light emission control process, the process returns to step S401.

If the input is not a long press of the first button 111 (NO in step S402) but a long press of both the first button 111 and the third button 113 (YES in step S404), the setting unit 122 or the selection unit 123 starts the illumination pattern setting/selection process shown in step S406. Details of the illumination pattern setting/selection process will be described later. When the illumination pattern setting/selection process ends, the process returns to step S401.

Even if the input is not a long press of both the first button 111 and the third button 113 (NO in step S404), if it is a long press of the third button 113 (YES in step S405), the setting unit 122 or the selection unit 123 starts the process of setting/selecting the light emission pattern.

Otherwise (NO in step S405), the input is not for performing any operation, so return to step S401.

This concludes the explanation of the main flowchart for the operation of the light emitting device 100.

From here, we will explain the light emission control process included in the main flowchart.

Figure 5 is a sub-flowchart showing details of the light emission control process shown in step S403 in the main flow chart of Figure 4.

When the first button 111 of the light-emitting device 100 is pressed and held, as shown in FIG. 5, the light-emitting control unit 121 identifies the selected light-emitting pattern from information about the selected light-emitting pattern stored in the memory unit 124. Then, the light-emitting control unit 121 causes the light-emitting unit 120 to emit light in the leading color of the identified light-emitting pattern (the first light-emitting color in the light-emitting order) (step S501).

The setting unit 122 determines whether the second button 112 has been pressed and held down based on whether the second button 112 has been pressed and held down for a predetermined time (e.g., 3 seconds) or longer (step S502). If the second button 112 has been pressed and held down (YES in step S502), the setting unit 122 sets the color emitted by the light-emitting unit 120 at that time as the recommended color in the memory unit 124 (step S503), and returns to step S502.

If the second button 112 has not been pressed for a long time (NO in step S502), the light emission control unit 121 determines whether the first button 111 has been pressed for a short time based on whether the first button 111 has been pressed for less than a predetermined time (step S504). If the first button 111 has been pressed for a short time (YES in step S504), the light emission control unit 121 switches the light color emitted by the light emitting unit 120 to the next light color indicated in the light emission order of the selected light emission pattern (step S505), and returns to step S502.

If the first button 111 has not been short-pressed (NO in step S504), the light emission control unit 121 determines whether the third button 113 has been short-pressed (step S506). If the third button 113 has been short-pressed (YES in step S506), the light emission control unit 121 switches the light color emitted by the light-emitting unit 120 to the next color in the reverse light emission order of the selected light emission pattern (the previous color in the forward order) (step S507), and returns to step S502.

If the third button 113 has not been pressed briefly (NO in step S506), the light emission control unit 121 determines whether the second button 112 has been pressed briefly (step S508). If the second button 112 has been pressed briefly (YES in step S508), the light emission unit 120 is caused to emit light in the emission color set as the recommended color in the memory unit 124, and the process returns to step S502.

If the second button 112 has not been pressed briefly (NO in step S508), the light emission control unit 121 determines whether the first button 111 has been pressed and held (step S510). If the first button 111 has not been pressed and held (NO in step S510), the process returns to step S502. If the first button 111 has been pressed and held (YES in step S510), the light emission control unit 121 stops light emission by the light emission unit 120 (step S511) and ends the light emission control process.

The above is the process related to light emission control of the light emitting device 100.

Finally, we will explain the operation of the lighting pattern setting and selection process. Figure 6 is a sub-flowchart showing details of the lighting pattern setting/selection process in step S406 in the main flow chart of Figure 4.

When the lighting pattern setting/selection process begins, the lighting control unit 121 causes the lighting unit 120 to blink in the lighting color associated with the button that was pressed (long press of the third button 113 (see Figure 4, step S404), or long press of both the first button 111 and the third button 113 (see Figure 4, step S405)) (step S601).

The selection unit 123 determines whether the second button 112 has been pressed briefly (step S602).

If the second button 112 is briefly pressed (YES in step S602), the selection unit 123 changes the selected illumination pattern to another illumination pattern. In response to this change, the illumination control unit 121 causes the illumination unit 120 to emit light in an illumination color corresponding to the changed illumination pattern.

The selection unit 123 determines whether either the first button 111 or the third button 113 has been pressed and held (step S604).

If either the first button 111 or the third button 113 is pressed and held (YES in step S604), the light emission pattern corresponding to the light color emitted by the light-emitting unit 120 at that time is registered in the memory unit 124 as the selected light emission pattern (light emission pattern to be used) (step S605), and processing ends.

If neither the first button 111 nor the third button 113 has been pressed and held (NO in step S604), the setting unit 122 determines whether both the first button 111 and the third button 113 have been pressed and held (step S606). If neither the first button 111 nor the third button 113 have been pressed and held (NO in step S606), the process returns to step S602. If both the first button 111 and the third button 113 have been pressed and held (YES in step S606), the information on the light emission order of the light emission pattern corresponding to the light emission color being emitted by the light-emitting unit 120 at that time is deleted from the light emission pattern information 300 in the storage unit 124 (step S607), and the process ends.

In step S602, if there is no short press of the second button (NO in step S602), setting of the light emission pattern begins based on input of either a short press of the first button, a short press of the third button, or a long press of the third button.

First, the light emission control unit 121 determines whether the third button 113 has been short-pressed (step S608). If the third button 113 has been short-pressed (YES in step S608), the light emission control unit 121 switches the light emission color emitted by the light emission unit 120 in accordance with the light emission order indicated by the default pattern in the light emission pattern information 300 (step S609), and then returns to step S608.

If the third button 113 has not been short-pressed (step S608), the setting unit 122 determines whether the first button 111 has been short-pressed (step S610). If the first button 111 has been short-pressed (YES in step S610), the setting unit 122 stores the light color emitted by the light-emitting unit 120 in the memory unit 124 as the next light color in the light-emitting pattern (step S611), and returns to step S608.

If the first button 111 was not pressed briefly (NO in step S610), the setting unit 122 determines whether the third button 113 was pressed and held (step S612).

If the third button 113 is pressed and held (step S612), a new light-emitting pattern is registered in the light-emitting pattern information 300 at that point, with the light-emitting colors registered up to that point in step S611 in the same order as the registered colors (step S613), and the process ends. If the third button 113 is not pressed and held (NO in step S612), the process returns to step S608.

<Summary>
According to the light-emitting device 100, when the light-emitting unit 120 is emitting light in a desired color, the user can register the desired color as a recommended color simply by pressing and holding the second button 112. Thereafter, regardless of the light-emitting sequence of the currently used light-emitting pattern, the user can simply press and hold the second button 112 to cause the light-emitting unit 120 to emit light in the recommended color at any time desired by the user. Furthermore, when the desired color is being emitted, the user can easily re-register a new recommended color simply by pressing and holding the second button 112. Furthermore, the light-emitting device 100 can achieve many functions with a small number of inputs (buttons), such as setting a light-emitting pattern that emits light in a user-desired sequence, switching the light-emitting color in that light-emitting pattern, or registering multiple light-emitting patterns and freely selecting one to use.

<Additional Information>
The device according to the above embodiment is not limited to the above embodiment, and may be realized by other methods. Various modifications will be described below.

(1) Although not specifically indicated in the above embodiment, the light-emitting control unit 121 of the light-emitting device 100 may cause the light-emitting unit 120 to emit light in various modes, such as constant emission, gradation emission, or blinking emission. In this case, the light-emitting device 100 may be configured to change its emission mode by, for example, pressing a combination of three buttons.

(2) Although not specifically shown in the above embodiment, if the first button 111 or the third button 113 is pressed while emitting light in a recommended color, the light emission control unit 121 may be configured to return to emitting light in the color before the recommended color.

(3) In the above embodiment, two types of inputs are presented for each button (first button 111, second button 112, third button 113): a short press and a long press. However, this is not limited to this. For example, two presses within a predetermined time may be detected, and the two presses may be used as a trigger to trigger one of the processes described above. Furthermore, the short press and long press shown in the above embodiment may be interchanged to achieve the same operation. That is, the first predetermined input described above may be a short press and the second predetermined input a long press, or the first predetermined input may be a long press and the second predetermined input a short press.

(4) In the above embodiment, an example was described in which only one color was set as the recommended color, but this is not limited to this. Any number of recommended colors may be set.

To achieve this configuration, the light emitting device 100 may be configured to include a second and third second button 112. The second recommended color is set by pressing and holding the second second button 112, and the third recommended color is set by pressing and holding the third second button 112. The light emitting unit 120 may be configured to emit the associated recommended color in response to a short press of each second button 112.

Alternatively, the second button 112 and the first button 111 may be pressed and held simultaneously to set the second recommended color, and the second button 112 and the third button 113 may be pressed and held simultaneously to set the third recommended color. Then, the light-emitting unit 120 may be configured to emit light in the second recommended color by briefly pressing the first button 111 and the second button 112 simultaneously, and to emit light in the third recommended color by briefly pressing the second button 112 and the third button 113 simultaneously.

(5) In the above embodiment, the recommended color for the light-emitting device is set by the device's processor executing a light-emitting control program or the like. However, this may also be achieved by a logic circuit (hardware) or dedicated circuit formed in an integrated circuit (IC (Integrated Circuit) chip, LSI (Large Scale Integration)) or the like. Furthermore, these circuits may be achieved by one or more integrated circuits, and the functions of the multiple functional units shown in the above embodiment may be achieved by a single integrated circuit. LSIs are sometimes referred to as VLSIs, super LSIs, ultra LSIs, etc., depending on the level of integration.

The light-emission control program may be recorded on a processor-readable recording medium, which may be a "non-transitory tangible medium" such as a tape, disk, card, semiconductor memory, or programmable logic circuit. The light-emission control program may also be supplied to the processor via any transmission medium capable of transmitting the light-emission control program (such as a communications network or broadcast waves). The present invention may also be realized in the form of a data signal embedded in a carrier wave, in which the light-emission control program is embodied through electronic transmission.

The light emission control program can be implemented using, for example, a scripting language such as Action Script or JavaScript (registered trademark), an object-oriented programming language such as Objective-C or Java (registered trademark), or a markup language such as HTML5.

(6) The configurations described in the above embodiments and the configurations described in each supplementary section may be combined as appropriate.
