Assembling and controlling light unit arrays

摘要

A method and a system for assembling and controlling a lighting array including a plurality of lighting units by providing a representation of the lighting array having a unit entry for and corresponding to each lighting unit in the lighting array wherein each unit entry includes a physical location address field and a lighting unit identification field. The representation of the lighting array is mapped onto the array address space by entering a physical address in the array address space into the location address field of each unit entry and serializing the lighting unit by writing a unique unit identifier of a corresponding lighting unit into the lighting unit identification field of each unit entry.

主权项

1. A light array management system comprising:
a lighting unit interrogation module configured to receive unit identifiers from a plurality of lighting units, wherein each unit identifier comprises data indicating a plurality of addressable lights for the respective lighting unit and at least a length of the lighting unit; a lighting unit mapping module configured to sequentially map the data of the addressable lights for each of the plurality of lighting units to an array address space based on at least the length of the lighting unit; and a lighting unit serialization module configured to serialize the array address space for the plurality of lighting units based on the sequentially mapping of the data of the addressable lights and a specific location of each of the lighting units.
