A device for controlling an LED lighting in an LED lighting control system including a plurality of LED lightings which are connected via a network is provided. A lighting data receiver receives a first lighting control signal and extracts first lighting control data for the LED lighting from the first lighting control signal including a confirmation code. A verifier verifies the first lighting control data based on the confirmation code, and an error processor records error information when the verifier fails to verify the first lighting control data. A driving signal processor converts the first lighting control data to a driving signal when the verifier succeeds to verify the first lighting control data. An LED driver controls lighting of an LED light source based on the driving signal.

(a) Field
The present invention relates to a lighting control method and device. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method and device for controlling light emitting diode (LED) lighting.
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an LED lighting control system according to an embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a structure of LED lighting of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing an LED lighting control device of FIG. 2.
In the following detailed description, only certain embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, simply by way of illustration. As those skilled in the art would realize, the described embodiments may be modified in various different ways, all without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Accordingly, the drawings and description are to be regarded as illustrative in nature and not restrictive. Like reference numerals designate like elements throughout the specification.
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an LED lighting control system according to an embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 1, an LED lighting control system 100 includes a plurality of LED lightings 110, a remote lighting control device 120, and an LED lighting network 130 that connects them.
By remote control: via data-bus transmission
Circuit arrangements for operating light-emitting diodes [LED]: controlling the intensity of the light
Grouping of control procedures or address assignation to light sources: commissioning of light sources
Via data-bus transmission: using digital multiplexed [DMX] communication protocols
