US 8,941,307 B1 · Light control system using statement of personal computer which is applied to a building for energy saving and method thereof

Abstract

The present invention relates to a light control system using statement of Personal Computer (PC) which is applied to a building for energy saving and method thereof, and more specifically, to a light control system, in which a lighting environment is changed depending on a PC operation state to provide the lighting environment optimized for a working environment and that uses a PC state and is applied to a building for energy saving in order to promote energy saving effects, and a method thereof. According to the invention, a worker's attending and leaving states and being temporarily away from his or her position are easily determined using a PC operation state and thus a light illumination intensity is adaptively adjusted. As a result, it is possible to improve energy saving effects and optimize the lighting environment.

Dependent claims

A light control system using statement of Personal Computer (PC) which is applied to a building for energy saving, the system comprising:

a dimming control unit configured to perform remote dimming control on a plurality of illuminating lights to which an illuminating light ID is assigned;
a communication unit that is connected to a plurality of personal computers (PCs) via a communication network;
a mapping table in which at least one illuminating light ID information is grouped and is set to correspond to unique identification information of the PC;
and
a lighting control unit that includes a control unit configured to perform dimming control on an illuminating light ID information group that corresponds to an operation state of the PC using the communication unit and the mapping table through the dimming control unit.

2 more elements

A light control method using statement of Personal Computer (PC) which is applied to a building for energy saving, the method comprising:

a first operation in which a lighting control unit configured to perform dimming control on a plurality of illuminating lights checks an operation state of the PC by identifying unique identification information of at least one PC via a communication network;
a second operation of checking a mapping table in which at least one illuminating light ID information is grouped and is set to correspond to unique identification information of the PC;
and
a third operation in which the lighting control unit outputs a signal for dimming control of an illuminating light of at least one corresponding illuminating light ID checked through the second operation based on an operation state of the PC checked through the first operation.
