A light strip zoning system, comprising:
- a light strip device, comprising:
- a light strip communication unit;
- a plurality of lighting units;
- wherein each of the lighting units comprises a respective integrated circuit (IC) chip address, and the lighting units are arranged in sequential order;
- wherein each of the IC chip addresses is unique;
- and
- a light strip processing unit, electrically connected to the light strip communication unit and each of the lighting units;
- and
- a control device, comprising:
- a communication unit, communicatively connected to the light strip communication unit of the light strip device;
- a memory unit, storing a lighting mode data, wherein the lighting mode data comprises a plurality of lighting information and a node address;
- wherein each of the IC chip addresses corresponds to one of the lighting information;
- wherein at least one of the lighting units with the IC chip address sequentially before the node address and at least one of the lighting units with the IC chip address sequentially after the node address are lighting units that belong to different lighting zones;
- an input unit;
- and
- a processing unit, electrically connected to the communication unit, the memory unit, and the input unit;
- wherein when the processing unit receives a start lighting signal from the input unit, the processing unit generates a lighting command according to the lighting mode data stored in the memory unit, and sends the lighting command through the communication unit to the light strip device;
- wherein when the light strip processing unit receives the lighting command through the light strip communication unit, the light strip processing unit respectively controls the lighting units of the lighting zones to individually light up according to the lighting command;
- wherein when the processing unit receives a zone configuration signal from the input unit, the processing unit sends out a test command through the communication unit to the light strip communication unit, and the processing unit determines whether receiving a return address signal outputted by the input unit;
- and when the light strip processing unit receives the test command through the light strip communication unit, the light strip processing unit controls each of the lighting units to light up in sequential order according to the test command;
- wherein when the processing unit receives the return address signal from the input unit, the processing unit sends out a return address command through the communication unit to the light strip communication unit;
- the light strip processing unit sends back the IC chip address corresponding to the lighting unit that is lighting up according to the test command to the processing unit;
- and
- wherein when the processing unit receives the said IC chip address returned from the light strip processing unit, the processing unit configures the returned IC chip address as the node address.
