To those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood in light of the present general concepts, in connection with the specific context of the scheme.

Example one

An LED light interactive control system is shown in fig. 2 and comprises a detection device 1, an automatic control decision module 2 and a light module 3 which are sequentially in communication connection.

The detection device 1 is configured to transmit a detection signal to a preset interaction area and receive a reflection signal, determine the received reflection signal according to a preset determination rule, and send a determination result to the automatic control decision module 2. For example, the detection device 1 is configured as a microwave radar, and as shown in fig. 3, the detection device generally includes a microwave antenna unit, a filtering unit, and an IC chip unit, when in use, the microwave transmitting unit transmits microwaves to a set direction (i.e., a preset interaction region), when an interactive person exists in the interaction region, the microwaves are reflected, a reflected signal is filtered by the filtering unit and then transmitted to the IC chip unit, the IC chip unit judges the reflected signal according to a preset judgment rule, the IC chip unit transmits a judgment result to the automatic control decision module 2, and the judgment result is classified into an interactive type and a non-interactive type. Specifically, the preset judgment rule in the IC chip unit includes: and judging whether the signal intensity of the reflected signal reaches a preset intensity threshold value, if so, determining that the judgment result is interactive, otherwise, determining that the reflected signal is non-interactive, and if so, detecting the intensity of the reflected signal to determine the distance between the target and the detection device 1 so as to determine whether the target detected by the detection device 1 is located in the interactive area. Similarly, in another embodiment, the setting of the preset judgment rule includes: and judging whether the time difference between the reflected signal and the detection signal is within a preset time difference range, if so, determining that the judgment result is interactive, otherwise, determining that the judgment result is non-interactive, and if so, calculating the distance between the target and the detection device 1 according to the time difference between the reflected signal and the detection signal, thereby determining whether the target detected by the detection device 1 is located in the interactive area. The microwave radar has strong radio frequency interference resistance, is not influenced by ambient light, temperature, dust and the like, is preferably arranged in a non-metal shell for protection, and has no influence on the detection function.

The automatic control decision module 2 is configured to receive the determination result sent by the detection device 1, and generate a control signal according to the determination result according to a preset rule. And the automatic control decision module 2 is also used for sending the control signal to the light module 3 after generating the control signal. The light module 3 is used for controlling the LED light source corresponding to the light module to perform interactive light emission according to the received control signal. Wherein, the interactive lighting means to change the lighting intensity and/or color of the LED light source.

For example, when the LED light source is originally red and normally bright, when the self-control decision module 2 receives the result of the determination that there is interaction, it generates a control signal according to a preset rule, so that the light module 3 changes the light emitting color of the LED light source from red to white. For another example, when the LED light source is originally not bright, when the self-control decision module 2 receives the determination result that there is interaction, it generates a control signal according to a preset rule, so that the light module 3 changes the LED light source from non-bright to normally bright.

It can be understood that the parameters used by the preset judgment rule in the detection device 1, such as time difference, intensity threshold, distance threshold, sensitivity, module switch, etc., can be adjusted, one or more of the parameters are packaged into a data packet through a data interface, and then sent to the automatic control decision module 2 in the form of a special command signal, a module for identifying the special command signal is preset in the automatic control decision module 2, and when the special command signal is identified by the automatic control decision module 2, the parameters such as the detection distance, the sensitivity, the module switch, etc., of the IC chip unit in the detection device 1 are adjusted through the serial port communication interface. Or the program (i.e. the preset rule) built in the automatic control decision module 2 can be updated and the like in the same way, so that the difficulty of system debugging is greatly simplified.

When the device is used, when an interdynamic person is in a detection range (and/or acts) corresponding to the detection device 1 (namely, a microwave radar), the detection device 1 detects a target according to a received reflection signal, judges the reflection signal, judges whether the target is in an interaction area corresponding to LED light, if so, determines that the target is the interdynamic person, generates a judgment result that the target is interactive, and sends the judgment result to the automatic control decision module 2, the automatic control decision module 2 generates a control signal according to a preset rule, after the control signal is transmitted to the light module 3 (specifically, an LED driver in the light module 3), the LED driver further drives the LED light source to interactively emit light, and the result of the interactively emitting light is that the light intensity and/or color of the LED light source is changed. For example, before interaction, the LED light source emits red light, the automatic control decision module 2 generates a control signal based on the red light, and the control signal is sent to the light module 3 and the LED driver therein to drive the LED light source to emit white light under the driving of the LED driver.

Example two

The difference from the first embodiment is that: as shown in fig. 4, in this embodiment, the LED light interaction control system further includes a light signal receiving module 4, and the light signal receiving module 4 is in communication connection with the automatic control decision module 2.

The light signal receiving module 4 is used for receiving a light display signal sent by the upper computer, after the light display signal is received by the light signal receiving module 4 and then sent to the automatic control decision module 2, the automatic control decision module 2 processes the light display signal according to a preset rule, so that a new light display signal is formed, a control signal containing the new light display signal is generated, the control signal is sent to the light module 3, and an LED driver in the light module 3 controls an LED light source to perform interactive light emission according to the control signal (wherein the new light display signal).

It can be understood that the upper computer generally sends a plurality of light display signals to the light signal receiving module 4 in a way of a signal group, and each light display signal carries an address code; and the light signal receiving module 4 is internally provided with an independent address so that the light signal receiving module 4 outputs a light display signal corresponding to the address to the automatic control decision module 2 through address comparison. As shown in fig. 5, the light signal receiving module 4 includes a decoding IC unit, and the decoding IC unit outputs PWM signals of red, green, blue, and white channels after receiving the light display signal.

The new light display signal may be understood as a set of a light display signal and a variable, where the variable is a change degree of brightness and/or color of the LED light source, and the new light display signal is included in the control signal, as shown in fig. 6, so that after the control signal is sent to the light module 3, the LED driver can control the LED light source to perform interactive light emission according to the control signal, and a result of the interactive light emission is that, on the basis of the initial light emission, the light emission intensity and/or color of the LED light source is changed, and the interactive light emission and the initial light emission have different light emission intensities and/or colors.

In this embodiment, the light signal receiving module 4 is further configured to receive a data packet containing parameters from the upper computer, and then send the data packet to the automatic control decision module 2 in the form of a special command signal.

It can be understood that, when the detection device 1 determines the reflection signal according to the preset determination rule and the generated determination result is no interaction, the automatic control decision module 2 does not perform variable processing on the received light display signal, and the light display signal included in the control signal generated by the automatic control decision module 2 is the same as the light display signal sent by the light signal receiving module 4, so that the LED light source performs initial light emission under the control of the light module 3. That is, the interactive control system of LED light that this embodiment provided can receive light display signal and carry out light display from the host computer through light signal receiving module 4 when not interdynamic.

EXAMPLE III

and S4, the light module controls the LED light source to perform interactive light emission according to the control signal, and the interactive light emission comprises changing the light intensity and/or color of the LED light source.

And when the interactive control system includes a light signal receiving module, in S3, the self-control decision module receives the determination result, generates a control signal according to the determination result according to a preset rule, and sends the control signal to the light module, including:

s31, the automatic control decision module acquires the light display signal sent by the light signal receiving module and receives the judgment result sent by the detection device; the lamplight display signal is sent to the lamplight signal receiving module by the upper computer;

s32, when the judgment result is that there is interaction, the automatic control decision module adds a variable to the light display signal according to a preset rule to form a new light display signal, so as to generate a control signal containing the new light display signal; when the judgment result is no interaction, the automatic control decision module generates a control signal containing a light display signal according to a preset rule;

and S33, the automatic control decision module sends the control signal to the light module so that the light module can control the LED light source to carry out interactive light emitting.

In S31, the upper computer sends a plurality of light display signals to the light signal receiving module in a way of a signal group, and each light display signal carries an address code; an independent address is arranged in the light signal receiving module, and the light signal receiving module outputs a light display signal corresponding to the address to the automatic control decision module through address comparison.

Example four

An LED light interactive display system comprises a plurality of LED light sources, and each LED light source is provided with an LED light interactive control system disclosed in the first embodiment or the second embodiment.

In addition, the detection devices 1 in the LED light interaction control system have different detection directions, so that each LED light source corresponds to a different interaction area.

In addition, a plurality of LED light sources are distributed in an array form, so that an LED dot matrix screen is formed.

According to the arrangement, the interaction processes of the LED light sources and people in the interactive display system are mutually independent, and the LED light sources correspond to different interaction areas, so that the interactive experience and the interactive accuracy are improved; due to the automatic control mode of the LED light source, the risk of system failure caused by module cascade disconnection or damage in the prior art is reduced, and therefore the reliability of the system is improved. And because each LED light source is provided with the LED light interactive control system, the interactive control system has wider distinguishing and detecting range and more fine capturing and identifying capability than the prior art for the interactive use environment with large scene and complicated stream of people by virtue of the quantity advantage of the interactive control system.

And because each LED light source corresponds to different interaction areas, the position of the detection module does not need to be adjusted in the installation and debugging process of the interactive display system as the prior art, so that the complex debugging and installation process of a plurality of detection modules in a large scene of the traditional scheme is greatly simplified, the installation and debugging cost of the system is reduced, and meanwhile, the detection and maintenance cost caused by the cascade disconnection or damage of the modules in the traditional scheme in the later operation is also saved.
