Illumination system, illumination setting method, and recording medium

An illumination setting method for use in an illumination system including a plurality of lighting fixtures, a plurality of illumination controllers, and an information communication terminal, the illumination setting method comprising:

• by each of the plurality of illumination controllers,
• receiving, from each of the plurality of lighting fixtures, a signal including identification information of the lighting fixture, and measuring a received signal strength indication (RSSI) of the signal received from each of the plurality of lighting fixtures;
• transmitting the identification information and RSSI information indicating the RSSI measured;
• by the information communication terminal,
• receiving the RSSI information and the identification information, transmitted from each of the plurality of illumination controllers;
• based on the RSSI information and position information indicating a positional relationship between the plurality of lighting fixtures and the plurality of illumination controllers, identifying a lighting fixture in the position information, which corresponds to a first lighting fixture among the plurality of lighting fixtures, which has a corresponding positional relationship to a given illumination controller among the plurality of illumination controllers;
• and
• associating the lighting fixture identified in the position information with the identification information of the first lighting fixture.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium for use in an information communication terminal included in an illumination system including a plurality of lighting fixtures, a plurality of illumination controllers, and the information communication terminal, the recording medium having a program recorded thereon for causing the information communication terminal to execute an illumination setting method,

• wherein each of the plurality of illumination controllers:
• receives, from each of the plurality of lighting fixtures, a signal including identification information of the lighting fixture, and measures a received signal strength indication (RSSI) of the signal received from each of the plurality of lighting fixtures;
• and
• transmits the identification information and RSSI information indicating the RSSI measured, and
• the illumination setting method includes:
• receiving the RSSI information and the identification information, transmitted from each of the plurality of illumination controllers;
• based on the RSSI information and position information indicating a positional relationship between the plurality of lighting fixtures and the plurality of illumination controllers, identifying a lighting fixture in the position information, which corresponds to a first lighting fixture among the plurality of lighting fixtures, which has a corresponding positional relationship to a given illumination controller among the plurality of illumination controllers;
• and
• associating the lighting fixture identified in the position information with the identification information of the first lighting fixture.

An illumination system, comprising:

• a plurality of lighting fixtures;
• a plurality of illumination controllers;
• and
• an information communication terminal, wherein
• each of the plurality of illumination controllers includes:
• first wireless communication circuitry configured to receive, from each of the plurality of lighting fixtures, a signal including identification information of the lighting fixture, and to measure a received signal strength indication (RSSI) of the signal received;
• and
• a first controller that causes the first wireless communication circuitry to transmit the identification information and RSSI information indicating the RSSI measured by the first wireless communication circuitry, and
• the information communication terminal includes:
• second wireless communication circuitry configured to receive the RSSI information and the identification information, transmitted from each of the plurality of illumination controllers;
• a storage that stores position information indicating a positional relationship between the plurality of lighting fixtures and the plurality of illumination controllers;
• and
• a second controller that identifies a lighting fixture in the position information, which corresponds to a lighting fixture having a corresponding positional relationship to a given illumination controller among the plurality of illumination controllers, and associates, in the position information, the identified lighting fixture with the identification information of the first lighting fixture.
