Abstract

Disclosed is a lighting effect directing method of a receiving device. The lighting effect directing method of a receiving device includes determining coordinates of the receiving device at a seat based on seat information thus received, receiving and storing object data including a predefined direction shape and at least one expression level set to correspond to a size of the direction shape, and predefined color data, receiving a control packet including object information indicating the direction shape, an object origin of the direction shape, and the at least one expression level, and color information indicating a light emission color, determining a location relationship between the object origin and the determined coordinates of the receiving device, based on the object information, and performing a corresponding light emission operation such that the direction shape is expressed at the at least one expression level, based on the location relationship and the color information.

Claims (30)

1 . A lighting effect directing method performed by a receiving device, the method comprising:

determining coordinates of the receiving device at a seat based on seat information thus received;

receiving and storing object data including a predefined direction shape and at least one expression level set to correspond to a size of the direction shape, and predefined color data;

receiving a control packet including object information indicating the direction shape, an object origin of the direction shape, and the at least one expression level, and color information indicating a light emission color;

determining a location relationship between the object origin and the determined coordinates of the receiving device, based on the object information; and

performing a corresponding light emission operation such that the direction shape is expressed at the at least one expression level, based on the location relationship and the color information.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the determining of the location relationship includes:

determining the at least one expression level based on a distance between the object origin and the determined coordinates of the receiving device.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the object origin is center coordinates of the direction shape, and

wherein the determined coordinates of the receiving device is relatively determined based on the object origin.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one expression level is differentially determined depending on a distance from the object origin.

5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the at least one expression level includes a first expression level determined within a predetermined distance from the object origin, and a second expression level determined outside the predetermined distance from the object origin.

6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the receiving device includes a plurality of receiving devices, and

wherein a first receiving device, which has the first expression level, from among the plurality of receiving devices emits light in the same color as a second receiving device having the second expression level.

7 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the at least one expression level has a weight,

wherein the receiving device includes a plurality of receiving devices, which receive the control packet the same as one another, and processes the at least one expression level as the weight, and

wherein a first receiving device, which has the first expression level, from among the plurality of receiving devices receives the color information the same as a second receiving device having the second expression level, and emits light in a different color by the weight.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the receiving device is provided with a first table in which a calculation value required for rotation conversion is mapped for each angle, and

wherein the control packet further includes first indication information indicating rotation of the direction shape.

9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the receiving device is provided with a second table in which a calculation value required for the direction shape is mapped for each magnification, and

wherein the control packet further includes second indication information indicating a size change of the direction shape.

10 . A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a program to be combined with a computer and to perform the lighting effect directing method according to claim 1 .

11 . A lighting effect directing method of a lighting control system including a server, a lighting control device, and a receiving device, the method comprising:

transmitting, by the server, seat information;

determining, by the receiving device, coordinates of the receiving device at a seat based on seat information thus received;

generating, by the lighting control device, object data including a predefined direction shape and at least one expression level set to correspond to a size of the direction shape, and color data;

receiving and storing, by the receiving device, the object data and the color data from the lighting control device;

generating, by the lighting control device, a control packet including object information indicating the direction shape, an object origin of the direction shape, and the at least one expression level, and color information indicating a light emission color;

determining, by the receiving device, a location relationship between the object origin and the determined coordinates of the receiving device, based on the object information in the control packet received from the lighting control device; and

performing, the receiving device, a corresponding light emission operation such that the direction shape is expressed at the at least one expression level, based on the location relationship and the color information.
