Abstract
A LED lighting system and a controlling method using the same is disclosed. In accordance with the present invention, a central controller extracts an ID information assigned to each of one or more LED lighting devices using a power line communication and classifies the extracted ID information into ID groups according to a user command by assigning a management information thereto to enable controlling of the one or more LED lighting devices based on the management information.
Claims18
A LED lighting system comprising:
- a first lighting device through an Nth lighting device wherein each of the first lighting device through the Nth lighting device comprises a light source, a lighting device power line modem for performing a power line communication and a lighting controller for controlling the light source and the lighting device power line modem, the first lighting device through the Nth lighting device storing a first ID information through an Nth ID information in the lighting controller thereof, respectively;
- and
- a central controller for controlling each of the first lighting device through the Nth lighting device wherein the central controller comprises a central power line modem connected to the lighting device power line modem of each of the first lighting device through the Nth lighting device through power lines to perform the power line communication, a memory for storing a management program for managing the first lighting device through the Nth lighting device;
- and a processor for executing the management program stored in the memory, wherein the management program comprises:
- a first instruction for extracting the first ID information through the Nth ID information from the first lighting device through the Nth lighting device, respectively, through the power line communication between the lighting device power line modem of each of the first lighting device through the Nth lighting device and the central power line modem;
- a second instruction for classifying the first ID information through the Nth ID information extracted by the first instruction into ID groups according to a user input;
- a third instruction for assigning a management information to each of the ID groups classified by the second instruction;
- and
- a fourth instruction for displaying the management information (where N is a natural number).
A method for controlling a first lighting device through an Nth lighting device of a LED lighting system comprising a central controller for controlling the first lighting device through the Nth lighting device, wherein each of the first lighting device through the Nth lighting device comprises a light source, a lighting device power line modem for performing a power line communication and a lighting controller for controlling the light source and the lighting device power line modem, the first lighting device through the Nth lighting device storing a first ID information through an Nth ID information in the lighting controller thereof, respectively;
- and
- the central controller for controlling each of the first lighting device through the Nth lighting device wherein the central controller comprises a central power line modem connected to the lighting device power line modem of each of the first lighting device through the Nth lighting device through power lines to perform the power line communication, a memory for storing a management program for managing the first lighting device through the Nth lighting device;
- and a processor for executing the management program stored in the memory, the method comprising:
- (a) extracting the first ID information through the Nth ID information from the lighting controller of each of the first lighting device through the Nth lighting device, respectively, through the power line communication between the lighting device power line modem of each of the first lighting device through the Nth lighting device and the central power line modem;
- (b) classifying the first ID information through the Nth ID information extracted by the central controller into ID groups according to a user input;
- (c) assigning a management information to each of the ID groups classified by the central controller;
- and
- (d) displaying the management information.
