==LIGHTING CONTROL DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING LIGHT EMISSION OF PLURALITY OF LIGHTING DEVICES BY WIRELESS COMMUNICATION, LIGHTING DEVICE, PHOTOGRAPHING SYSTEM, CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240107650 titled 'LIGHTING CONTROL DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING LIGHT EMISSION OF PLURALITY OF LIGHTING DEVICES BY WIRELESS COMMUNICATION, LIGHTING DEVICE, PHOTOGRAPHING SYSTEM, CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

==Simplified Explanation==

The lighting control device described in the patent application is capable of checking shadows or shades on a subject without affecting real-time properties. It wirelessly connects to multiple lighting devices, each with a light unit that can be continuously on, and controls the on/off function of these light units. The device communicates wirelessly with the lighting devices to send turn-on instructions, group information, and turn-on group information specifying light emission permissions or prohibitions for each group.

* Wireless lighting control device for checking shadows/shades on a subject without affecting real-time properties
* Capable of wirelessly connecting to multiple lighting devices with continuous light units
* Controls on/off function of light units and sends turn-on instructions, group information, and turn-on group information

== Potential Applications ==
The technology could be applied in photography studios, film sets, and video production environments where precise lighting control is essential for capturing high-quality images and videos.

== Problems Solved ==
This technology solves the problem of accurately assessing and adjusting lighting conditions to eliminate shadows or shades on a subject without disrupting the real-time nature of the lighting setup.

== Benefits ==
- Improved accuracy in assessing shadows/shades on subjects
- Real-time lighting adjustments without interruptions
- Enhanced control over lighting conditions for better image/video quality

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
"Wireless Lighting Control Device for Shadow/Shade Checking: Commercial Applications"
This technology could be utilized in professional photography studios, film production companies, and event venues to enhance lighting control capabilities and improve the quality of visual content.

== Possible Prior Art ==
There may be existing lighting control systems that offer some level of wireless connectivity and group control features, but the specific functionality of checking shadows/shades on a subject without impairing real-time properties may be a novel aspect of this patent application.

=== Unanswered Questions ===

=== How does the device differentiate between shadows and shades on a subject? ===
The patent application does not provide specific details on the technology or algorithms used to differentiate between shadows and shades on a subject. Further information on this aspect would be helpful for understanding the device's capabilities.

=== Can the device adjust the intensity or direction of light to eliminate shadows/shades on a subject? ===
The patent application mentions the device's ability to check shadows/shades on a subject, but it does not specify whether the device can actively adjust the lighting parameters to eliminate these shadows or shades. Additional information on this functionality would be beneficial for evaluating the device's practical utility.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

a lighting control device capable of checking shadow/shade on a subject intended by a user without impairing the real-time property. the lighting control device is wirelessly connected to a plurality of lighting devices each having a light unit capable of being on continuously, and controls turning on/off of the light units of the plurality of lighting devices. the lighting control device performs wireless communication with the plurality of lighting devices generates a turn-on instruction for the light unit, and transmits, to the plurality of lighting devices by the wireless communication: the turn-on instruction; information on a group to which each of the plurality of lighting devices belongs; and turn-on group information including a setting of one of light emission permission and light emission prohibition set for the group.
