Abstract:
Disclosed herein are a lighting switch apparatus and a lighting switching method, which can perform lighting control by blocking or passing light from a lighting device using a user's hand motion while the user may make input to a lighting switch by means of a capacitive touch on the lighting switch. The lighting switch apparatus includes a capacitive touch sensing unit for recognizing a user's touch. A hand motion visible light receiving unit receives visible light from a lighting device depending on motion of the user's hand. A control unit generates a touch-based lighting control signal based on results of touch recognition, controls the hand motion visible light receiving unit so that the user's hand motion-based signal is output based on the results of touch recognition, and generates a lighting control command by combining the lighting control signal with the user's hand motion-based signal.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method and apparatus for integrally controlling lighting according to the status of power reserve stages. The apparatus for integrally controlling lighting according to power reserve stage, comprises: a lighting control result receiver for receiving lighting control result data generated by integrating a lighting identification number and control result information of the LED light source the brightness of which is controlled according to power reserve stage-based lighting control information; a power reserve stage determination unit for determining a power reserve stage based on the received lighting control result data; and a power reserve stage issuer for transmitting the determined power reserve stage to the lighting controller in real time.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is an apparatus and method for controlling lighting based on an Internet Protocol (IP) network. Pieces of input information required to control lighting devices connected to a Digital Addressable Lighting Interface (DALI) network are received. An event corresponding to an IP packet, provided via network input among the pieces of the input information, is generated and is converted into a format of a DALI command. Time synchronization for the DALI command is performed while operating in conjunction with a DALI timer. A lighting device connected to the DALI network is controlled in compliance with the DALI command, for which time synchronization has been completed.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are an LED lighting control apparatus and an LED lighting control system using the apparatus. The proposed system includes a wired lighting unit connected to LED lighting in a wired manner and configured to perform lighting control on LED lighting. A wireless lighting unit performs lighting control on the LED lighting via wireless communication with a wireless terminal and operates in conjunction with the wired lighting unit. A location communication unit allocates individual IDs of LED lighting and performs transmission/reception of data to/from an external terminal. A multi-sensor unit supports multiple sensors and analyzes sensor data collected from the multiple sensors. An active heat dissipation unit dissipates heat from the LED lighting based on analyzed sensor data. A processor control unit controls operations of the wired lighting unit, the wireless lighting unit, the location communication unit, the multi-sensor unit, and the active heat dissipation unit.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are a Visual Light Communication (VLC) method and apparatus using a DMX-512 network. The VLC apparatus includes a DMX signal generation unit and a DMX signal transmission unit. The DMX signal generation unit generates VLC data packets each including a DMX header, fragmentation information, and a data fragment. The DMX signal transmission unit transmits the VLC data packets to an LED lighting apparatus coupled over a DMX-512 network in order to perform VLC.
