Patent Application
20230332764
The present invention relates to the technical field of lamp control, in particular to a method, an apparatus, an electronic device and a storage medium for controlling flashing color lamps.
Different from the traditional light source, LED light source is a low-voltage microelectronic product, which successfully integrates advanced science and technology such as computer technology, network communication technology, image processing technology and embedded control technology. Therefore, applying LED light source to decorative lamps can make decorative lamps highly intelligent and produce various ever-changing and unexpected effects, and LED flashing color lamps are one of them.
The flashing lamp is a new type of LED lamp, which adjusts the color and brightness of the lamp through the controller. The main structure is that a plurality of LED lamp bead chips are packaged in various forms and connected with the driving circuit respectively, and the controller can control one or more of the chips to achieve the flashing effect. At present, the flashing color lamps are mostly used to decorate the Christmas tree or the wall. The flashing color lamps are randomly arranged on the Christmas tree or the wall, and then controlled by the controller to produce different lighting effects.
However, the control function of the flashing color lamps in the prior art is too simple, and users can only control the lighting effect of the flashing color lamps according to the preset program. For example, the American invention patent with the publication number of US20210278069A1 discloses a variable multi-color LED light string and a controller for artificial trees, including a white light emitting diode (LED) light string and a variable color LED light string. The color-changeable LED light string may employ LED lamps having embedded Red, Green, and Blue (RGB) LEDs. The RGB LED lamps may include an embedded integrated circuit (IC) configured to communicate with and control the energizing of each of the corresponding RGB LEDs to create a multitude of colors and color combinations that can vary with time to create a light show. An electronic controller in communication with the LED lamps may allow a user to select the mode for the light show and further may provide a periodic reset signal to restart or re-synchronize the light show.
With this solution, users can only switch the lighting effect of the flashing color lamps according to the preset lighting program. In situations where lighting needs to be coordinated with the environment, such as lighting shows or festivals, the number of preset lighting programs is limited, resulting in a single lighting effect of the flashing color lamps. Users want to make personalized lighting effects of the flashing color lamps, so they can only set the programs in advance, and setting the lighting programs involves complicated programming, which is very difficult for ordinary users and increases the user’s use threshold.
Based on the above contents, it is necessary to provide a method for controlling flashing color lamps that can change the lighting effect in real time according to the user’s needs and provide personalized customization. The method for controlling flashing color lamps can preview the lighting effect of flashing color lamps, and at the same time, it can give real-time lighting feedback to the instructions sent by customers, and the method for controlling flashing color lamps is simple, convenient and easy to use, which meets various control requirements of users.
The present invention provides a method for controlling flashing color lamps, which includes the following steps: establishing a first virtual model according to a physical layout form of the flashing color lamps to be controlled, wherein the first virtual model is configured for controlling the flashing color lamps to flash; wherein the method further comprises:
The present invention also provides an apparatus for controlling flashing color lamps, an electronic device and a storage medium, wherein the apparatus for controlling flashing color lamps includes a model establishing module and a flashing color lamp control module; the electronic device includes a processor and a memory; a computer program is stored on the storage medium; and the flashing color lamp control device, the electronic device and the storage medium can realize a flashing color lamp control method, which comprises the following steps: establishing a first virtual model according to a physical layout form of the flashing color lamps to be controlled; acquiring the flashing color lamp control instruction which triggers the first virtual model and sending the flashing color lamp control instruction to the flashing color lamps to be controlled, wherein the flashing color lamp control instruction is configured for controlling the flashing color lamps to be controlled to do actions matched with the flashing color lamp control instruction.

The method for controlling the flashing color lamps provided by the embodiment of the application can be applied to the application environment as shown in
The terminal 101 can be, but is not limited to, various smart phones, tablet computers, portable wearable devices, personal computers and notebook computers.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the flashing color lamps 102 to be controlled are connected with the controller 103, which is in communication with the flashing color lamps 102 to be controlled, and the terminal 101 is in communication with the flashing color lamps 102 to be controlled through communication with the controller 103. Specifically, the controller 103 has its own network, by which the communication connection between the terminal 101 and the flashing color lamp 102 to be controlled is realized.
In another embodiment of the present invention, both the controller 103 and the terminal 101 are connected to the same network, that is, they are in the same local area network, thereby realizing the communication between the terminal 101 and the flashing color lamps 102 to be controlled.
As shown in
As shown in
Specifically, in S100, the number of flashing color lamps to be controlled is one or more. When the number of flashing color lamps to be controlled is multiple, the flashing color lamps to be controlled are electrically connected in turn. In actual use, the flashing color lamps to be controlled will be arranged on different carriers according to actual needs, such as on a wall or on decorations such as a Christmas tree. At this time, the actual form of the flashing color lamps to be controlled after being arranged on different carriers as required is the physical layout form.
Due to the different needs of users, there are many types of entity layout forms. In S100, the first virtual model is established according to the entity layout form, and the first virtual model is matched with the entity layout form, and the matching virtual model is established according to the usage conditions of different users, so as to realize personalized customization. Compared with the inherent single model control mode in the prior art, based on the corresponding relationship between the established entity layout form and the first virtual model in S100, the user’s use needs and use pleasure are greatly satisfied.
In S200, because the virtual flashing color lamps in the first virtual model correspond to the flashing color lamps to be controlled in the physical layout one by one, when the virtual flashing color lamps in the first virtual model are controlled, the flashing color lamps to be controlled corresponding to the virtual flashing color lamps also emit light correspondingly, that is, after the flashing color lamps control instruction is sent to the flashing color lamps to be controlled, the flashing color lamps control instruction is used to control the flashing color lamps to be controlled to do actions matched with the flashing color lamps control instructions. If the user randomly slides to trigger the lighting of the first and third virtual flashing color lamps in the first virtual model, the first and third flashing color lamps to be controlled in the corresponding physical layout form also emit light correspondingly, thus realizing the random control of the flashing color lamps to be controlled.
According to the control method of the flashing color lamps provided by the present invention,
a first virtual model is firstly established through the physical layout form of the flashing color lamps to be controlled, then the flashing color lamps control instruction that the user triggers the first virtual model is obtained and sent to the flashing color lamps to be controlled; the flashing color lamps control instruction is used for controlling the flashing color lamps to do actions matched with the flashing color lamps control instruction. A camera is used to identify the flashing frequency and color sequence of each LED lamp in the corresponding time period, so as to identify and calculate the spatial coordinates of the color lamps, and establish a spatial model consistent with the real scene, which improves the use interest and is convenient to control, and meets the various control needs of users for the flashing color lamps.
As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the color sequence in the method a is preset based on the flashing color lamps to be controlled, such as controlling the flashing color lamps to be controlled in advance. In this embodiment, as shown in
It should be noted that the preset color sequences of A1, A2 and A3 introduced in the above embodiment are only one in the implementation process of this embodiment, and other color sequences can also be used for flashing, as long as the color sequence of each LED lamp in the flashing process is guaranteed to be unique.
Before controlling the flashing of the flashing color lamps, the user triggers the terminal 101 to start the modeling. After the terminal 101 obtains the user’s triggering operation, it then sends a flashing control instruction to the flashing color lamps to be controlled in the physical layout form, and based on the flashing control instruction, controls the flashing color lamps to be controlled to flash in a flashing way matching the flashing control instruction.
Taking the color sequence of the above-mentioned flashing color lamps A1-A3 to be controlled as an example, there are two control methods for each flashing color lamp to be controlled. One is to control and flash the flashing color lamps to be controlled in turn, that is, to control the flashing color lamps A1 to be controlled first, so that the flashing color lamps A1 to be controlled will flash according to their color sequence, and similarly, other flashing color lamps to be controlled will also flash according to the corresponding color sequence. At this time, in this control mode, the color sequence is the real-time color flashing sequence, and the flashing control instruction is generated according to the real-time color flashing sequence, so that the flashing color lamps to be controlled are controlled to flash in a preset flashing frame based on the flashing control instruction, which lays a data support for the subsequent acquisition of the actual spatial position.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the preset flashing frame is the number of times that the flashing color lamp to be controlled flashes.
In another embodiment, in order to improve the modeling efficiency, another control method is adopted. Specifically, all the flashing color lamps to be controlled are controlled at the same time during a preset flashing frame. Taking the color sequence of the flashing color lamps A1-A3 to be controlled as an example, at this time, in the first preset flashing frame, the real-time color flashing sequence is the first color sequence in the color sequence of flashing lamps A1-A3 to be controlled, namely blue, blue and red.
In the second preset flashing frame, the real-time color flashing sequence is the second color sequence in the color sequence of the flashing color lamps A1-A3 to be controlled, namely blue, blue and blue; real-time color flashing sequences corresponding to other preset flashing frames are generated according to the above generation mode, so that the number of colors contained in the real-time color flashing sequence is the same as that of the preset flashing frames, and the flashing of all flashing color lamps to be controlled is controlled at the same time every time the flashing frames are preset, so that efficient and rapid modeling is realized, and the modeling efficiency is improved while ensuring the modeling accuracy.
In the method b, when the flashing color lamps to be controlled are flashing, the real-time flashing images of the flashing color lamps to be controlled are collected when the flashing color lamps are flashing in a flashing mode matched with the flashing control instruction, so as to realize the positioning of the flashing color lamps to be controlled.
That is, when the first virtual model is established, the flashing color lamps to be controlled need to be positioned, so as to meet the one-to-one correspondence between the virtual flashing color lamps and the flashing color lamps to be controlled. In this method, the flashing color lamps to be controlled are controlled based on the flashing control instruction first, and then the flashing images of the flashing color lamps are collected to realize the positioning of the flashing color lamps.
Specifically, the real-time flashing image of the flashing color lamps can be a video or a picture, and the positioning can be realized by extracting the real-time flash frequency color of the flashing color lamps to be controlled from the video or the image, wherein the flashing color lamps to be controlled flash with a preset flashing frame; when the flashing color lamps to be controlled flash with a preset flashing frame, they correspond to a real-time flashing picture of the flashing color lamps, and the preset flashing frame is adjusted according to the physical layout form of the flashing color lamps; different flashing color lamps flash with different preset flashing frames correspond to real-time flashing pictures of the flashing color lamps in different time periods.
As shown in
Alternatively, in order to improve the accuracy of positioning, a flashing color lamp to be controlled can be controlled in multiple times, for example keep lighting and then flashing, and then accurate position positioning is realized according to real-time flashing pictures of the flashing color lamps flashing simultaneously.
In method c, the same flashing color lamps to be controlled are extracted from the real-time flashing images of all flashing color lamps, and the positioning of the flashing color lamps to be controlled is realized.
Specifically, assuming that each color sequence in method a contains M colors, the controller 103 sends the first color combination in the sequence, and synchronizes the flashing color lamps 102 to be controlled to display the corresponding color combination; the terminal 101 collects the current real-time flashing picture, repeats the above method, sends 1 to M color combinations respectively, and obtains the corresponding M real-time flashing pictures, and extracts the colors in the m real-time flashing pictures of the flashing color lamps, that is, the actual flashing colors of the flashing color lamps. Because of the uniqueness of the color sequence, the serial number of the lamp bead corresponding to the current coordinate point can be identified, so that the coordinate position of each identifiable lamp bead can be obtained. Using the coordinate position of the lamp bead, the 2D plane model of the whole flashing color lamps to be controlled can be generated. At this time, the 2D model can be used for graffiti control and special effect display of the lamp bead.
Each flashing color lamp has a real-time flashing color and spatial position in the real-time flashing pictures of the flashing color lamps, the actual flashing colors of the flashing color lamps to be controlled in a plurality of flashing pictures are combined in turn, and a real-time flash frequency color sequence of the flashing color lamps is generated according to the real-time flashing colors and spatial positions of the flashing color lamps in different periods, wherein each flashing color lamp to be controlled corresponds to a real-time flash frequency color sequence.
In method d, based on the flashing control instruction, the flashing color lamps to be controlled are controlled to flash according to their respective corresponding color sequences, and then the real-time flashing image, real-time flashing picture and real-time flash frequency color sequence of the flashing color lamps to be controlled are obtained in turn, and the real-time flash frequency color sequence is compared with each color sequence. When they match, a second virtual model can be established according to the spatial position of the flashing color lamps to be controlled corresponding to the real-time flash frequency color sequence in the physical layout form. In the establishment of the 3D model, the 3D model of the flashing color lamps to be controlled is obtained by shooting around the space scene where the flashing color lamps to be controlled are located at different positions and angles, and methods a, b and c are repeated, so as to obtain a plurality of groups of 2D plane models of the flashing color lamps to be controlled in different coordinate systems, and finally the 3D space model of the flashing color lamps to be controlled is calculated through the calculation of a plurality of different 2D plane models.
In method e, the first virtual model is corrected by the actual spatial position of the second virtual model, so that the spatial position of the virtual flashing color lamps in the first virtual model corresponds to the spatial position of the flashing color lamps in the physical layout form, and the virtual modeling of the physical layout form of the flashing color lamps to be controlled is completed at this time.
In another embodiment of the present invention, as shown in
Specifically, the flashing effect data of the flashing color lamps are pre-stored, specifically a variety of animation effects, that is, by establishing a variety of animation effects in the terminal 101, corresponding effects can be played based on the second control instruction according to the physical layout form of the flashing color lamps to be controlled, so as to realize fast playing and greatly enhance the user experience.
Alternatively, the flashing effect data of the flashing color lamps can be downloaded through the network and pre-stored in the controller 103, and the off-line control of the special effects of the flashing color lamps to be controlled can be realized through the terminal 101 or through the infrared remote controller, so as to meet the playing requirements without the network.
In another embodiment of the present invention, as shown in
Specifically, the custom special effect data of the flashing color lamps triggers the first virtual model at will according to the user’s own requirements, so as to set the special effect data of the custom flashing color lamps, and control the flashing color lamps to be controlled based on the third control instruction, so as to meet the custom control requirements of the flashing color lamps.
