Lighting apparatuses have a first communication mode in which the lighting apparatuses and a first or second communication terminal mutually transmit and receive a command and a second communication mode in which the lighting apparatuses forming a mesh network mutually transmit and receive the command. Among the lighting apparatuses that receive the command originating from the first communication terminal in the second communication mode, the lighting apparatuses that are not in communication with the second communication terminal in the first communication mode execute the command received in the second communication mode. On the other hand, the lighting apparatus that is in communication with the second communication terminal in the first communication mode maintains a current operating state without executing the command received in the second communication mode.
A lighting apparatus in a mesh network, the mesh network including the lighting apparatus and other lighting apparatuses, the lighting apparatus comprising:
A lighting system comprising:
A method of performing control in a lighting apparatus in a mesh network including the lighting apparatus and other lighting apparatuses, the lighting apparatus having a first communication mode in which the lighting apparatus and a communication terminal mutually transmit and receive a command, and a second communication mode in which the lighting apparatus and one of the other lighting apparatuses mutually transmit and receive the command, and the lighting apparatus capable of executing the command received in the first communication mode and the command received in the second communication mode, the method comprising:

This application claims the benefit of priority of Japanese Patent Application Number 2016-006505 filed on Jan. 15, 2016, the entire content of which is hereby incorporated by reference.
1. Technical Field
The present disclosure relates to lighting apparatuses forming a mesh network, and a lighting system.
The figures depict one or more implementations in accordance with the present teaching, by way of examples only, not by way of limitations. In the figures, like reference numerals refer to the same or similar elements.
FIG. 1 illustrates a lighting system and a plurality of lighting apparatuses according to Embodiment 1 with an example of a mesh network formed by the plurality of lighting apparatuses;
FIG. 2 illustrates an example of an external appearance of each of the lighting apparatuses according to Embodiment 1;
In the following, lighting apparatuses and a lighting system according to embodiments will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that each of the embodiments described below illustrates one specific example of the present disclosure. Thus, the numerical values, shapes, materials, structural components, the arrangement and connection of the structural components mentioned in the following embodiments are merely an example and not intended to limit the present disclosure. Accordingly, among the structural components in the following embodiments, the one that is not recited in any independent claim exhibiting the most generic concept of the present disclosure will be described as an arbitrary structural component.
Incidentally, each of the figures is a schematic view and not necessarily illustrated in a strict manner. Furthermore, in each of the figures, substantially the same structures are assigned the same reference signs, and the redundant description of such structures will be omitted or simplified.
