Abstract:
A method and apparatus for controlling Zigbee wireless lighting are disclosed. The apparatus for controlling Zigbee wireless lighting includes an address management unit, a packet conversion unit, and a client unit. The address management unit detects a Zigbee wireless address, corresponding to a light ID included in a command received from a user terminal, in an address management table. The packet conversion unit converts the command into a Zigbee light link (ZLL)-based packet. The client unit transfers the ZLL-based packet to Zigbee wireless illumination light corresponding to the Zigbee wireless address in order to control the Zigbee wireless illumination light.
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 an apparatus and method for controlling a lighting network. The apparatus for controlling lighting network includes a control device and a plurality of control gears. The control device generates and transfers commands to control lighting. The plurality of control gears receives the commands from the control device and control lighting. The control device assigns a right to use a lighting network to the control gears, and the control gears send information about a change in a lighting state or error details to the control device using the right to use a lighting network.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a real-time movement path estimation apparatus using visible light communication. A server for performing communication with an agent for tracking a location of a client which is a target to be tracked includes an agent management unit for setting the agent and the client. A server communication unit receives management information of the agent at intervals of a preset monitoring period. A path prediction unit derives a predicted path for a movement path of the client, based on the location information of the client included in the management information and tracked by a location determination device including a visible light communication device or an image capturing device in the agent.
Abstract:
Disclosed are an apparatus and method for testing a luminaire based on USB. The apparatus for testing a luminaire based on USB includes a power measurement unit for measuring power consumption by measuring power input from a host system to a luminaire based on USB; a message interpretation unit for generating a result of interpretation of a message based on a USB-based control message sent and received between the host system and the luminaire; an illuminance reception unit for receiving a result of measurement of illuminance of the luminaire, measured by a light reception device; and an information generation unit for generating test result information based on a result of the measurement of the power consumption, the result of the interpretation of the message, and the result of the measurement of the illuminance.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for providing indoor location information are disclosed herein. The apparatus includes a signal reception unit, a global positioning system (GPS) data reception unit, a frame generation unit, a scheduling unit, and a signal transmission unit. The signal reception unit receives a lighting control frame from a lighting control device. The GPS data reception unit receives location data from GPS satellites. The frame generation unit generates a location data frame by extracting the location of an illumination light stored in a lighting arrangement storage unit, modifying the location data and adding a header to the modified location data. The scheduling unit schedules the lighting control frame or the location data frame. The signal transmission unit transfers the lighting control frame or the location data frame to the corresponding illumination light based on the results of the scheduling of the scheduling unit.
Abstract:
A lighting control device and method are disclosed herein. The lighting control device includes a control unit and a control request unit. The control unit sets up a virtual multiple lighting control unit corresponding to a lighting control command received from a lighting management device. The control request unit selects a wireless light fixture corresponding to a light fixture ID included in the lighting control command, and makes a lighting control request to the selected wireless light fixture. The control unit transfers a response to the lighting control request to the lighting management device, and thus allows a corresponding lighting switch to control the wireless light fixture.
