Setting device, lighting system, method for setting up communication configuration in lighting fixture, and recording medium

A lighting system, comprising:

• lighting fixtures disposed inside of a building;
• lighting controllers which control the lighting fixtures;
• and
• a setting device which sets up a communication configuration in each of the lighting fixtures and the lighting controllers, wherein
• the setting device includes:
• a communication circuit which communicates with a target lighting fixture in which the communication configuration is to be set up among the lighting fixtures;
• a display which displays layout information of the lighting fixtures;
• a detector which detects a direction of movement of the setting device inside of the building, and an amount of the movement of the setting device;
• and
• a controller which causes the display to display a position of the setting device derived based on the direction of the movement and the amount of the movement of the setting device,
• the controller determines whether the position of the setting device is within a predefined area that is defined based on a location of the target lighting fixture, and sets up the communication configuration in the target lighting fixture via the communication circuit when the position of the setting device is within the predefined area, and
• the target lighting fixture in which the communication configuration is set up is paired with a lighting controller which is a pairing partner among the lighting controllers.

A method for setting up, using a setting device, a communication configuration in each of lighting fixtures disposed inside of a building, the method comprising:

• displaying layout information of the lighting fixtures on the setting device;
• detecting a direction of movement of the setting device inside of the building, and an amount of the movement of the setting device;
• deriving a position of the setting device, based on the direction of the movement and the amount of the movement of the setting device, and displaying, on the setting device, the position of the setting device derived;
• determining whether the position of the setting device is within a predefined area that is defined based on a location of a target lighting fixture in which the communication configuration is to be set up among the lighting fixtures;
• and
• setting up the communication configuration in the target lighting fixture using the setting device after it is determined that the position of the setting device is within the predefined area.
