PAIRING METHOD, LIGHTING DEVICE, AND LIGHTING SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A pairing method for use in a lighting system including at least one lighting device serving as a slave device and a radio remote controller serving as a master device to control the slave device, for causing the lighting device to store identification information of the radio remote controller, the method comprising:
- transmitting a pairing command repeatedly by the radio remote controller, the pairing command including the identification information of the radio remote controller;
determining, by the lighting device, whether or not the lighting device is in an initial state at power on, the initial state including a condition in which identification information of any master device is not stored in the lighting device;
if it is determined that the lighting device is in the initial state, storing the identification information included in the pairing command as the identification information of the master device in the lighting device when the paring command is received; and
causing the lighting device in which the identification information of the master device is stored to operate according to a radio command including the identification information of the master device.

Abstract
A pairing method for causing lighting devices to store identification information of a radio remote controller serving as a master device is provided. The method includes: transmitting a pairing command including the identification information of the radio remote controller repeatedly on a temporary basis by the radio remote controller; determining, for each of the lighting devices, whether or not the lighting device is in an initial state in which identification information of a master device is not stored in the lighting device, at power on; storing the identification information included in the pairing command, if the paring command is received when it is determined that the lighting device is in the initial state in the determining; and causing the lighting device in which the identification information of the master device is stored to operate according to a radio command including the identification information of the master device.

11. A lighting device, comprising:
-
a transceiver which receives a radio command; a receiver which receives an infrared command; a storage for storing identification information of a radio remote controller serving as a master device; and a controller, wherein the controller; determines whether or not the lighting device is in an initial state at power on, the initial state including a condition in which identification information of any master device is not stored in the lighting device; enters a pairing configuration mode when the controller determines that the lighting device is in the initial state; when a pairing command including identification information of the radio remote controller serving as the master device is received in the pairing configuration mode, stores the identification information of the radio remote controller serving as the master device as the identification information of the master device to the storage; and causes the lighting device to operate according to a radio command including the identification information, after storing the identification information of the master device. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)
