Abstract

Disclosed is a control system for controlling a plurality of user terminals. The control system includes at least: a control device including a processor, and configured to determine a command to be executed by the plurality of user terminals located in a concert hall or stadium; a transmitter configured to transmit a wireless signal corresponding to the determined command; a plurality of receivers, each of which is connected to a respective user terminal of the plurality of user terminals, receives the wireless signal, and transmits the received wireless signal to the respective user terminal; and the plurality of user terminals, each of which is configured to perform a command corresponding to the wireless signal transmitted from a respective receiver of the plurality of receivers.

Claims (27)

1. A system for controlling a crowd of people, the system comprising:

a plurality of receivers;

a control device configured to control the plurality of receivers,

wherein the plurality of receivers are used as cheering tools possessed by an audience and included in different groups from one another to be controlled differently from one another under control of the control device,

wherein the control device is configured to:

simultaneously transmit, to the plurality of receivers, group control information capable of controlling the plurality of receivers for each group depending on a wireless communication scheme during a performance at a concert hall or stadium at the same frequency,

wherein the group control information includes control information, which allows the plurality of receivers to be displayed in different lighting colors for the each group, to express visual cheering effects,

wherein the plurality of receivers receive the group control information during the performance, are displayed in different lighting colors for the each group based on the group control information in response to a progress of the performance, and are positioned at a seat corresponding to a ticket of the concert hall or stadium, and

wherein the plurality of receivers, each of which is configured to:

simultaneously receive the group control information to selectively perform a command corresponding to respective seat information among a plurality of commands included in the group control information;

a plurality of user terminals configured to respectively provide the receivers with the seat information corresponding to a seat at which each of the receivers is positioned, when the plurality of user terminals are electrically connected to the plurality of receivers, respectively,

wherein the plurality of user terminals, each of which is configured to scan two-dimensional (2D) code information included in the ticket possessed by the audience and transmit the 2D code information to a server to receive the seat information; and

a server configured to store data necessary for the plurality of user terminals to perform a command included in the control information,

wherein the plurality of user terminals, each of which is configured to receive a wireless signal from the control device,

wherein the wireless signal includes link information for downloading the data from the server,

wherein the plurality of user terminals, each of which is configured to download the data from the server by using the link information,

wherein the wireless signal includes a ready signal and a start signal,

wherein the ready signal includes the link information,

wherein the control device is configured to:

propagate the start signal at a time when the command is configured to be performed; and

propagate the ready signal before a predetermined time from the time when the command is configured to be performed, and

wherein the plurality of user terminals, each of which is configured to:

start downloading of the data from the server when the ready signal is transmitted from a respective receiver of the plurality of receivers respectively connected to the plurality of user terminals; and

perform the command by using the downloaded data when the start signal is transmitted.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the seat information is input to each of the receivers by a seat information input device based on the seat information included in the ticket possessed by the audience.

3. The system of claim 1 ,

wherein the plurality of receivers, each of which is configured to be provided to the audience in a state where the seat information is stored, upon entering the concert hall or stadium.
