Lighting apparatus

Abstract

Provided is a lighting apparatus that may form and control a multi-zone of a plurality of lighting devices connected to a wireless network. The lighting apparatus may include a plurality of devices including a plurality of lighting devices included in a network set in advance, a coordinator to manage the network, a remote controller to control a multi-zone that is included in the network and that performs grouping of the plurality of lighting devices into a plurality of groups.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A lighting apparatus, comprising:
 a plurality of devices including a plurality of lighting devices included in a network set in advance;   a coordinator to manage the network; and   a remote controller to control a multi-zone that is included in the network and that performs grouping of the plurality of lighting devices into a plurality of groups.   
     
     
         2 . The lighting apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the remote controller generates a control frame to be transmitted to a selected lighting device,
 wherein the control frame comprises a start of text (STX) field indicating a state of the control frame, a datalen field indicating a length of information to be transmitted, a data field including information to be transmitted, a checksum field to be used for determining an error, and an end of text (ETX) field indicating an end of the control frame.   
     
     
         3 . The lighting apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein the data field comprises a primitive identification (ID) where an objective of transmission of information is written, a device address indicating an address of a lighting device that is a target for the transmission, a command including a command to be transmitted to the lighting device, and command data including data to be used for the command. 
     
     
         4 . The lighting apparatus of  claim 3 , wherein the command comprises a setting command, a transmission command, and a control command. 
     
     
         5 . The lighting apparatus of  claim 4 , wherein:
 the plurality of devices includes an illuminance sensor and a motion sensor; and   the setting command commands setting of at least one of a parameter for forming and controlling a zone of the plurality of lighting devices, a function of a switch, a parameter for correcting the illuminance sensor, a motion of the motion sensor, a control element of the remote controller.   
     
     
         6 . The lighting apparatus of  claim 5 , wherein the transmission command commands transmitting of the parameter for forming and controlling the a zone of the plurality of lighting devices and information associated with a state of the lighting devices and whether the lighting devices is broken, a parameter set for the switch and information associated with a state of the switch and whether the switch is broken, the parameter set for correcting the illuminance sensor and information associated with a state of the luminance sensor and whether the luminance sensor is broken, a parameter set for the motion of the motion sensor and information associated with a state of the motion sensor and whether the motion sensor is broken, and a parameter set for the control element of the remote controller and information associated with a state of the controller and whether the controller is broken, and transmitting of a database of each device included in the network via the coordinator. 
     
     
         7 . The lighting apparatus of  claim 4 , further comprising:
 a scene controller to control a scene of the plurality of lighting devices,   wherein the control command commands controlling at least one of   the plurality of lighting devices for each zone and for each channel, the plurality of lighting devices for each lighting device and for each channel, resetting of the plurality of lighting devices, and a scene of the plurality of lighting devices.
