APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING LIGHTING BASED ON INTERNET PROTOCOL NETWORK
First Claim
1. A method for controlling lighting based on an Internet Protocol (IP) network, comprising:
- receiving pieces of input information required to control lighting devices connected to a Digital Addressable Lighting Interface (DALI) network;
generating an event corresponding to an IP packet, provided via network input among the pieces of the input information, and converting the generated event into a format of a DALI command;
performing time synchronization for the DALI command while operating in conjunction with a DALI timer; and
controlling a lighting device connected to the DALI network in compliance with the DALI command, for which time synchronization has been completed.

Abstract
Disclosed herein is an apparatus and method for controlling lighting based on an Internet Protocol (IP) network. Pieces of input information required to control lighting devices connected to a Digital Addressable Lighting Interface (DALI) network are received. An event corresponding to an IP packet, provided via network input among the pieces of the input information, is generated and is converted into a format of a DALI command. Time synchronization for the DALI command is performed while operating in conjunction with a DALI timer. A lighting device connected to the DALI network is controlled in compliance with the DALI command, for which time synchronization has been completed.
