1. A lamp control system comprising:
- at least one first lamp network configured to emit light, including a first physical layer, and configured to transmit a first message;
at least one second lamp network configured to emit light, including a second physical layer different from said first physical layer, and configured to transmit a second message; and
a lamp control gateway including a processing module configured to receive the first message and the second message and to convert the first message and the second message in such a way that a first converted message and a second converted message comply with a predefined protocol;
wherein said processing module includes a protocol unit including a media access control (MAC) layer that complies with the predefined protocol;
wherein said first lamp network complies with a first protocol, said second lamp network complies with a second protocol, and the predefined protocol is different from the first and second protocols.

Abstract
A lamp control system includes at least one first lamp network, at least one second lamp network and a lamp control gateway. The first lamp network is configured to emit light and to transmit a first message, and includes a first physical layer. The second lamp network is configured to emit light and to transmit a first message, and includes a second physical layer different from the first physical layer. The lamp control gateway includes a processing module that is configured to receive the first message and the second message and to convert the first message and the second message in such a way that a first converted message and a second converted message comply with a predefined protocol.

4. A control system comprising:
-
a plurality of networks, at least one of said plurality of networks includes a physical layer different from that of each of remaining ones of said plurality of networks, and is configured to send a command set; and a control gateway including a plurality of transmission interfaces that are respectively coupled to said plurality of networks, and a processing module that is coupled to said plurality of transmission interfaces, and that is configured to receive the command set, and to convert the command set in such a way that a converted command set complies with a predefined protocol; wherein said processing module includes a protocol unit including a media access control (MAC) layer that complies with the predefined protocol; wherein said at least one of said plurality of networks complies with a first protocol, said remaining ones of said plurality of networks comply with a second protocol, and the predefined protocol is different from the first and second protocols. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6, 7, 8)
