1. A method for controlling a plurality of light-emitting devices, the method comprising:

inputting group information into a respective light-emitting device, the group information to be inputted corresponds to information on a seat in a venue, on which the respective light emitting device to be positioned; and

selectively controlling illuminating or extinguishing of groups of light-emitting devices, in accordance with the group information, to present an image over the plurality of light-emitting devices positioned on seats in the venue of an event during a particular period of a group-performance presentation,

wherein one or more light-emitting devices are designated as the same group based on the group information that is pre-configured and includes information configured to be used for performing group controlling of the plurality of light-emitting devices, and the one or more light-emitting devices of the same group emit the same color during the particular period of the group-performance presentation.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the inputting the group information is performed when the respective light-emitting device performs a process of entering the venue of the event.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the inputting the group information comprises:

reading ticket information of a user of the light-emitting device;

identifying where the light-emitting device is configured to be positioned, based on the read ticket information;

retrieving the group information that corresponds to the identified position of the light-emitting device; and

inputting the retrieved group information into the light-emitting device.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the reading ticket information is performed when the light-emitting device performs a process of entering the venue of the event.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the group information comprises

a first group identification to be assigned to the respective light emitting device during a first particular period of the group performance presentation, and

a second group identification to be assigned to the respective light emitting device during a second particular period of the group performance presentation.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the first particular period and the second particular period correspond to a first scene and a second scene of the group performance presentation, respectively, and a first image presented by light emitting devices to which the first group identification is assigned is different from a second image presented by light emitting devices to which the second group identification is assigned.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the inputting the group information further comprises:

updating the group information, and wirelessly broadcasting the updated group information across the venue during the event; and

receiving, by the respective light-emitting device, the updated group information.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the inputting the group information comprises:

inputting the group information into the respective light-emitting device when the respective light-emitting device is approaching within a predetermined distance from a group information distribution device located in an entrance of the venue.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the inputting the group information comprises:

inputting only group identification information into the respective light-emitting device, without inputting instructions to control illuminating or extinguishing of the respective light-emitting device during the particular period of the group-performance presentation, when the respective light-emitting device performs the process of entering the venue of the event; and

after the event has started, wirelessly transmitting additional group information that includes the instructions, to the respective light-emitting device, in accordance with the group identification information.

10. A method for controlling a plurality of light-emitting devices, the method comprising:

generating, during an event, group-performance presentation mapping data including information on mapping between a group and a color configured to be emitted by light-emitting devices belonging to the group during a particular period of a group-performance presentation;

wirelessly broadcasting the generated mapping data across a venue of the event; and

selectively controlling illuminating or extinguishing of groups of light-emitting devices, in accordance with the mapping data, to present an image over the plurality of light-emitting devices positioned on seats in the venue of the event during the particular period of the group-performance presentation,

wherein one or more light-emitting devices are designated as the same group based on group information that is pre-configured and includes information configured to be used for performing group controlling of the plurality of light-emitting devices, and the one or more light-emitting devices of the same group emit the same color during the particular period of the group-performance presentation.

11. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:

receiving, by the respective light-emitting device, the broadcasted mapping data;

extracting, by the respective light-emitting device, a part of the broadcasted mapping data, which corresponds to a group identification of the respective light-emitting device; and

controlling illuminating or extinguishing, by the respective light-emitting device, in accordance with the extracted part of the broadcasted mapping data.

12. The method of claim 10 , wherein the generating comprises:

generating a first group-performance presentation mapping data with respect to a first particular period of the group performance presentation; and

generating a second group-performance presentation mapping data with respect to a second particular period of the group performance presentation.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the first particular period and the second particular period correspond to a first scene and a second scene of the group performance presentation, respectively, and a first image presented by light emitting devices to which the first group identification is assigned is different from a second image presented by light emitting devices to which the second group identification is assigned.

14. A method for generating group information for controlling a plurality of light-emitting devices, the method comprising:

acquiring boundary information of each group of light-emitting devices in each scene of a group performance presentation;

generating, based on the acquired boundary information, information for grouping the plurality of light-emitting devices, each of which is mapped to a respective seat in a venue of an event;

generating group identifications to be assigned to the plurality of light-emitting devices, light-emitting devices included in the same group are configured to be assigned the same group identification;

generating group information that includes the generated information for grouping the plurality of light-emitting devices and the generated group identification,

wherein one or more light-emitting devices are designated as the same group based on group information that is pre-configured and includes information configured to be used for performing group controlling of the plurality of light-emitting devices, and the one or more light-emitting devices of the same group emit the same color during the particular period of the group-performance presentation.

15. The method of claim 14 , further comprising:

inputting the generated group information to the plurality of light-emitting devices; and

inputting instructions to control a respective group of light-emitting devices to emit a respective color during the particular period of the group-performance presentation.

16. The method of claim 14 , wherein the information for grouping the plurality of light-emitting devices does not include instructions to control a respective group of light-emitting devices to emit a respective color during the particular period of the group-performance presentation.

17. The method of claim 14 , wherein the particular period includes a first particular period and a second particular period, and wherein the first particular period and the second particular period correspond to a first scene and a second scene of the group performance presentation, respectively, and a first image presented by light emitting devices to which a first group identification is assigned is different from a second image presented by light emitting devices to which a second group identification is assigned.
