【発明の属する技術分野】
この発明は、人間の覚醒度を維持しなければならないような作業状態、例えばデスクワーク、オフィスワーク、運転手、工場機械の監視、原子力発電所の中央監視作業などにおいて、覚醒度を向上或いは維持するための色温度制御照明装置とこれを用いた覚醒装置に関する。また、逆に覚醒度の高い状態から低い状態、例えばリラックス状態を誘導するための色温度制御照明装置とこれを用いた入眠装置に関する。さらに、起きている状態から寝ている状態に、また寝ている状態から起きている状態に誘導するための入眠覚醒装置に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来の照明のほとんどは作業用の明るさ確保のための照明装置であり、また覚醒度を高める照明装置としては特開平4−4506号公報に示すように、一定の照度により覚醒度を高めるものがあった。また、色温度を変化させる照明装置として、特開平5−205881号公報に示すように、異なる2色の光源を用いて、各々の調光レベルを調整することによる色温度を制御する照明装置などがあった。さらに、色温度を変化させて覚醒度を高めたり、リラックスさせたりするものとしては、特開平5−258868号公報に示すように、色温度の制御が可能な光源からなる照明装置を用いてプラントの状態によって発光色温度を変化させ、プラントの運転員に適度な緊張を与えたり、逆に緊張を和らげたりするものや、実開平5−11397号公報に示すように、色温度の異なる複数の蛍光ランプと発生させスイッチを具備することにより、作業性を重視する場合には高照度且つ高色温度となるように、また、くつろぎや安らぎを求める場合には低照度且つ低色温度となるようにして、目的に応じた照明空間を容易に設定できるようにしたものなどがあった。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
ところが、従来のように作業用の明るさ確保のための照明装置では、簡単な作業時や、生体リズムにより覚醒度が低下する時間帯(例えば午後1時から4時位、午前3時から午前5時位など)においては、覚醒度が低下し、作業パフォーマンスが低下したり、事故につながるミスが起こったりする可能性がある。また逆に、夜間の就寝前にリラックスしたい時にリラックスできなかったり、或いは夜間の睡眠に支障をきたすという問題が起こる。
【0004】
また、人間を取り巻く色温度環境は生体リズムや覚醒度に影響を与えることが知られており、低色温度環境では、リラクゼーションの効果があり、高色温度環境では覚醒度を上昇させる効果があるが、従来のように、緊張感や覚醒度を高めるために高色温度環境、リラックスやくつろぎ、安らぎを与えるために低色温度環境を実現する照明装置では、色温度が一度変化した後は一定の照明環境となるため、例えば高色温度環境に変化した直後には緊張感や覚醒度は上昇するが、時間の経過と共に色順応が起こり、5〜6分経過以降には色温度による効果が薄れてくるという問題がある。
【0005】
本発明は、上記従来例に鑑みてなされたもので、色温度を人間が色順応を起こす前に次々と変化させることによって、覚醒度を高めたり、或いはリラックスさせたり、すみやかに入眠させたりすることができる色温度制御照明装置とこれを用いた入眠装置、覚醒装置及び入眠覚醒装置を提供することを目的とする。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記課題を解決するために、本発明に係る色温度制御照明装置は、3000K以下の低色温度と4000Kの中色温度を交互に発生させ、その発生させる時間間隔が人間が色順応を起こすよりも短い時間間隔であると共に、中色温度期から低色温度期への変化を急激に行い、低色温度期を所定時間維持した後で低色温度期から中色温度期への変化を徐々に行い、中色温度期に到達すると中色温度期だけの時間を存在させずに、再び中色温度期から低色温度期への変化を急激に行うようにすることを特徴としており、また、この色温度制御照明装置を用いて使用者をすみやかに入眠させるために、リラックス効果のある3000K以下の低色温度と4000Kの中色温度を交互に発生させ、その発生させる時間間隔を人間が色順応を起こすよりも短い時間間隔とすると共に、中色温度期から低色温度期への変化を急激に行い、低色温度期を所定時間維持した後で低色温度期から中色温度期への変化を徐々に行い、中色温度期に到達すると中色温度期だけの時間を存在させずに、再び中色温度期から低色温度期への変化を急激に行うようにする入眠装置を構成したことを特徴としており、このように構成することで、低色温度のリラックス効果及びその繰り返し効果によって色順応が起こるのを防いで、リラックス効果、入眠効果が得られるようになる。つまり、使用者をよりリラックスさせるためには、図6に示すように、中色温度期から低色温度期への変化を急激に行うことによって、色温度が低く変化したことを意識させ、また低色温度期を所定時間維持した後で低色温度期から中色温度期への変化は徐々に行うようにすることにより、色温度が低くなる場合のみを感じさせることができて馴れを防止でき、リラックス状態を維持できるようになる。
【0007】
また、本発明に係る色温度制御照明装置は、6700K以上の高色温度と4000Kの中色温度を交互に発生させ、その発生させる時間間隔が人間が色順応を起こすよりも短い時間間隔であると共に、中色温度期から高色温度期への変化を急激に行い、高色温度期を所定時間維持した後で高色温度期から中色温度期への変化を徐々に行い、中色温度期に到達すると中色温度期だけの時間を存在させずに、再び中色温度期から高色温度期への変化を急激に行うようにしたことを特徴としており、また、この色温度制御照明装置を用いて使用者をすみやかに覚醒させるために、覚醒効果のある6700K以上の高色温度と4000Kの中色温度を交互に発生させ、その発生させる時間間隔が人間が色順応を起こすよりも短い時間間隔であると共に、中色温度期から高色温度期への変化を急激に行い、高色温度期を所定時間維持した後で高色温度期から中色温度期への変化を徐々に行い、中色温度期に到達すると中色温度期だけの時間を存在させずに、再び中色温度期から高色温度期への変化を急激に行うようにした覚醒装置を構成したことを特徴としており、このように構成することで、高色温度が人間が色順応を起こさない時間間隔で与えられるので、高色温度の覚醒効果及びその繰り返し効果によって、色順応が起こるのを防いで、覚醒度、緊張感を維持できるようになる。つまり、使用者の緊張感、覚醒度をより高める場合には、図7に示すように、中色温度期から高色温度期への変化を急激に行うことによって、色温度が高く変化したことを意識させ、また高色温度期を所定時間維持した後で高色温度期から中色温度期への変化は徐々に行うようにするのが望ましく、この場合、色温度が高くなる場合のみを感じさせることができて馴れを防止でき、覚醒効果が一層期待できるようになる。
【0008】
また請求項5記載の発明に係る入眠覚醒装置は、人間が色順応を起こすよりも短い時間間隔で低色温度と中色温度を交互に発生させる色温度制御照明装置と、人間が色順応を起こすよりも短い時間間隔で高色温度と中色温度を交互に発生させる色温度制御照明装置とを備えると共に、使用者をすみやかに入眠させる入眠スイッチ7と使用者をすみやかに覚醒させる覚醒スイッチ8とを備え、入眠スイッチ7を選択した場合は人間が色順応を起こすよりも短い時間間隔でリラックス効果のある3000K以下の低色温度と4000Kの中色温度を交互に発生させると共に、中色温度期から低色温度期への変化を急激に行い、低色温度期を所定時間維持した後で低色温度期から中色温度期への変化を徐々に行い、中色温度期に到達すると中色温度期だけの時間を存在させずに、再び中色温度期から低色温度期への変化を急激に行うようにし、覚醒スイッチ8を選択した場合は人間が色順応を起こすよりも短い時間間隔で覚醒効果のある6700K以上の高色温度と4000Kの中色温度を交互に発生させると共に、中色温度期から高色温度期への変化を急激に行い、高色温度期を所定時間維持した後で高色温度期から中色温度期への変化を徐々に行い、中色温度期に到達すると中色温度期だけの時間を存在させずに、再び中色温度期から高色温度期への変化を急激に行うようにしたことを特徴としており、このように構成することで、スイッチの切り替えによって覚醒効果とリラックス効果とが選択して得られるようになる。
【0009】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の実施形態の一例を説明する。図3は、色温度制御照明装置6の一例を示している。周期制御部3は設定された周期に基づいて色温度を決定し、色温度制御部4に信号を送る。色温度制御部4は、低色温度光源1(3000K(ケルビン)以下)と、高色温度光源2(6700K以上)の2つの色温度が異なる光源の出力をそれぞれ決定し、各々の調光点灯装置5によって3000K以下の低色温度から6700K以上の高色温度までを調整する。
【0010】
上記色温度制御照明装置6を入眠装置として用いる場合には、図1(参考図)に示すように、時間t1→t2で低色温度を発生させ、時間t2→t3で中色温度を発生させ、これを交互に切り替えるようにすると共に、切り替える時間間隔は人間が色順応を起こすよりも短い時間間隔とする。一方、上記色温度制御照明装置6を覚醒装置として用いる場合には、図2(参考図)に示すように、時間t1→t2において高色温度を発生させ、時間t2→t3において中色温度を発生させ、これを交互に切り替えるようにすると共に、切り替える時間間隔は人間が色順応を起こすよりも短い時間間隔とする。
【0011】
ここで、人間が色順応を起こす時間間隔とは、個人差があるものの、8分〜10分程度であるといわれており、また色温度を変化させた場合の影響は2分〜5分後に最も良く現れ、それ以降には色順応が起こり、色温度の変化による影響は徐々に小さくなるといわれている。従って、人間が色順応を起こすよりも短い時間間隔とは、5分以内が望ましく、5分以内に低色温度と中色温度とを交互に発生させるようにすればよいものである。
【0012】
しかして、上記入眠装置を用いてリラックス効果のある低色温度と、中色温度を交互に発生させることにより、使用者にリラックスやくつろぎ、安らぎを与えることができ、しかもその切り替えを人間が色順応を起こすよりも短い時間間隔(例えば中色温度の発生期間を3分間、低色温度の発生期間を5分間)で行うことによって、リラックス効果、入眠効果が高まり、たとえ緊張感や覚醒度の高い状態からでも、リラックス状態或いは入眠状態に誘導させることができる。特に入浴後から睡眠前にかけてのリラックスしたい時間帯で使用すると、低色温度光が人間が色順応を起こさない時間間隔で与えられるため、低色温度光のリラックス効果及びその繰り返し効果により、色順応を生じることなく覚醒度を下げて、リラックスさせることができ、また、入眠させることができる。
【0013】
逆に、使用者を覚醒させる場合には、上記覚醒装置を用いて、覚醒効果のある高色温度と、中色温度を交互に実現させることにより、緊張感や覚醒度を高めることができる。しかも、その切り替えを人間が色順応を起こすよりも短い時間間隔(例えば高色温度の発生期間を3分間、中色温度の発生期間を5分間)で行うことによって、覚醒効果が一層高まり、緊張感や覚醒度を維持するのに有効となる。従って、人間の覚醒度を維持しなければならないような作業状態、例えばデスクワーク、オフィスワーク、運転手、工場機械の監視、原子力発電所の中央監視作業などのように、緊張感や覚醒度を維持する必要がある場合において、覚醒度が低下しやすい時間帯でも、高色温度光が人間が色順応を起こさない時間間隔で与えられるので、高色温度光の覚醒効果及びその繰り返し効果によって色順応を起こすことがなく、緊張感や覚醒度を上げることができる。例えば簡単な作業時や、生体リズムにより覚醒度が低下する時間帯(例えば午後1時から4時位、午前3時から午前5時位など)においては、覚醒度をすみやかに高めることができるので、作業パフォーマンスを活発にして、事故防止等に役立てることができる。また、寝ている状態から起きている状態にすみやかに誘導して、覚醒させることができる。
【0014】
図4は、図1(参考図)の色温度制御照明装置6を用いた入眠覚醒装置の一例を示している。使用者をリラックスさせたり、入眠させたりする場合は、入眠スイッチ7を押し、逆に覚醒させる場合には、覚醒スイッチ8を押す。周期制御部3はどちらのスイッチから信号が送られてきたのかを判断し、それに応じて設定された周期に基づいて色温度を決定し、色温度制御部4に信号を送る。色温度制御部4は、低色温度光源1(3000K以下)と、高色温度光源2(6700K以上)の2つの色温度が異なる光源の出力をそれぞれ決定し、各々の調光点灯装置5によって3000K以下の低色温度から6700K以上の高色温度までを調整する。そして、入眠スイッチ7を選択した場合は、人間が色順応を起こすよりも短い時間間隔(5分以内)でリラックス効果のある低色温度と中色温度を交互に発生させることができ、覚醒スイッチ8を選択した場合は、人間が色順応を起こすよりも短い時間間隔(5分以内)で覚醒効果のある高色温度と中色温度を交互に発生させることができ、リラックス効果と覚醒効果とが選択して得られるようになる。
【0015】
ここで、図5は、色温度が中色温度(例えば4000K)から高色温度(例えば6700K)に変化した場合と、低色温度(例えば3000K)に変化した場合において、主観的な眠気をはかるKSS(Kwansei−gakuinSleepiness Scale)の変化を比較した場合を示している。KSSの値が大きい程、眠気が強いことを示しており、本発明の覚醒装置によって色温度を6700K以上に変化させた場合は眠気が少なくなり、また本発明の入眠装置によって色温度を3000K以下に変化させた場合は眠気が増加することとなる。
【0016】
ところで、人間の感覚は、定常的な刺激よりも、変化する刺激に敏感であり、色温度においても同じことがいえる。覚醒効果がある高色温度の光を続けると馴れが生じ、覚醒効果が薄れてくる。逆に、リラックス効果や入眠効果がある低色温度の光を続けると馴れが生じ、リラックス効果等が薄れてくる。さらに、自然光の環境下で生活している我々は、天候や時刻による色温度の変化、すなわち、黒体軌跡(完全放射体軌跡)上の色温度の変化に対して快適感を感じており、黒体軌跡からはずれた色温度は不自然な光となって、不安や不快感を感じることが分かっている。
【0017】
そこで、使用者をよりリラックスさせるためには、図6に示すように、中色温度期から低色温度期への変化を急激に行うことによって、色温度が低く変化したことを意識させ、また低色温度期から中色温度期への変化は徐々に行うようにするのが望ましく、この場合、色温度が低くなる場合のみを感じさせることができて馴れを防止でき、リラックス状態を維持できるようになる。この図6は、請求項1、3、5に対応する本発明の実施形態を示している。
【0018】
逆に使用者の緊張感、覚醒度をより高める場合には、図7に示すように、中色温度期から高色温度期への変化を急激に行うことによって、色温度が高く変化したことを意識させ、また高色温度期から中色温度期への変化は徐々に行うようにするのが望ましく、この場合、色温度が高くなる場合のみを感じさせることができて馴れを防止でき、覚醒効果が一層期待できるようになる。この図7は、請求項2、4、5に対応する本発明の実施形態を示している。
【0019】
また、上記色温度の変化する時間間隔は固定されていてもよいが、ランダムに変化させるようにしてもよく、この場合、使用者が変化を予測できなくなり、一層のリラックス効果或いは覚醒効果が得られるようになる。さらに、不自然な色温度の変化での不安や不快感を誘導するのを避けるために、色温度を黒体軌跡(完全放射体軌跡)上で変化させることにより、自然光に近い光を出力することかできる。また、任意の色温度を出力するために、例えば図8(a)に示すようなR(赤),G(緑),B(青)の三原色の各光源からの出力をそれぞれ制御して色温度を調整することによって、黒体軌跡上に近い色温度を出力することができる。なお一般にB(青)の光源では高出力が得られ難いため、図8(a)の構成では任意の色温度は出力できても、照度の制限がある。そこで、図8(b)に示すようなW(白)の光源を追加することによって、照度出力の補正を行うようにしてもよい。
【0020】
【発明の効果】
以上説明したように、請求項1記載の発明に係る色温度制御照明装置は、3000K以下の低色温度と4000Kの中色温度を交互に発生させ、その発生させる時間間隔が人間が色順応を起こすよりも短い時間間隔であると共に、中色温度期から低色温度期への変化を急激に行い、低色温度期を所定時間維持した後で低色温度期から中色温度期への変化を徐々に行い、中色温度期に到達すると中色温度期だけの時間を存在させずに、再び中色温度期から低色温度期への変化を急激に行うようにするので、この色温度制御照明装置を用いて使用者をリラックスさせることができる。
【0021】
また請求項2記載の発明に係る色温度制御照明装置は、6700K以上の高色温度と4000Kの中色温度を交互に発生させ、その発生させる時間間隔が人間が色順応を起こすよりも短い時間間隔であると共に、中色温度期から高色温度期への変化を急激に行い、高色温度期を所定時間維持した後で、高色温度期から中色温度期への変化を徐々に行い、中色温度期に到達すると中色温度期だけの時間を存在させずに、再び中色温度期から高色温度期への変化を急激に行うようにしたので、この色温度制御照明装置を用いて、使用者の覚醒度を高めることができる。
【0022】
また請求項3記載の発明は、請求項1記載の色温度制御照明装置を用いた入眠装置であって、使用者をすみやかに入眠させるために、リラックス効果のある3000K以下の低色温度と4000Kの中色温度を交互に発生させ、その発生させる時間間隔を人間が色順応を起こすよりも短い時間間隔とすると共に、中色温度期から低色温度期への変化を急激に行い、低色温度期を所定時間維持した後で、低色温度期から中色温度期への変化を徐々に行い、中色温度期に到達すると中色温度期だけの時間を存在させずに、再び中色温度期から低色温度期への変化を急激に行うようにしたから、低色温度が人間が色順応を起こさない時間間隔で与えられるので、低色温度のリラックス効果及びその繰り返し効果によって、色順応や馴れも生じることがなく、例えばリビングや寝室などにおいて使用者をリラックスさせたり、すみやかに入眠させたりすることができる。
【0023】
また請求項4記載の発明は、請求項2記載の色温度制御照明装置を用いた覚醒装置であって、使用者をすみやかに覚醒させるために、覚醒効果のある6700K以上の高色温度と4000Kの中色温度を交互に発生させ、その発生させる時間間隔を人間が色順応を起こすよりも短い時間間隔とすると共に、中色温度期から高色温度期への変化を急激に行い、高色温度期を所定時間維持した後で高色温度期から中色温度期への変化を徐々に行い、中色温度期に到達すると中色温度期だけの時間を存在させずに、再び中色温度期から高色温度期への変化を急激に行うようにしたから、高色温度光が人間が色順応を起こさない時間間隔で与えられるので、高色温度光の覚醒効果及びその繰り返し効果によって色順応や馴れも生じることがなく、例えばデスクワークやモニターの監視作業、工場の製造ラインでの作業のような単純な作業や、覚醒度が低下しやすい時間帯でも、覚醒度を維持できる。また、寝ている状態から起きている状態にすみやかに誘導して、覚醒させることができる。
【0024】
また請求項5記載の発明に係る入眠覚醒装置は、人間が色順応を起こすよりも短い時間間隔で低色温度と中色温度を交互に発生させる色温度制御照明装置と、人間が色順応を起こすよりも短い時間間隔で高色温度と中色温度を交互に発生させる色温度制御照明装置とを備えると共に、使用者をすみやかに入眠させる入眠スイッチと使用者をすみやかに覚醒させる覚醒スイッチとを備え、入眠スイッチを選択した場合は人間が色順応を起こすよりも短い時間間隔でリラックス効果のある3000K以下の低色温度と4000Kの中色温度を交互に発生させると共に、中色温度期から低色温度期への変化を急激に行い、低色温度期を所定時間維持した後で低色温度期から中色温度期への変化を徐々に行い、中色温度期に到達すると中色温度期だけの時間を存在させずに、再び中色温度期から低色温度期への変化を急激に行うようにし、覚醒スイッチを選択した場合は人間が色順応を起こすよりも短い時間間隔で覚醒効果のある6700K以上の高色温度と4000Kの中色温度を交互に発生させると共に、中色温度期から高色温度期への変化を急激に行い、高色温度期を所定時間維持した後で高色温度期から中色温度期への変化を徐々に行い、中色温度期に到達すると中色温度期だけの時間を存在させずに、再び中色温度期から高色温度期への変化を急激に行うようにしたから、スイッチの切り替えによって覚醒効果とリラックス効果とが選択して得られるようになり、使用価値が高められる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention improves or maintains the arousal level in a work state in which the arousal level of the human must be maintained, for example, desk work, office work, driver, factory machine monitoring, and nuclear power station central monitoring work. TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a color temperature control lighting device and an awakening device using the same. In contrast, the present invention relates to a color temperature control lighting device for inducing a state of high arousal from a low state, for example, a relaxed state, and a sleep device using the same. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a sleep / wake-up device for guiding a user from a sleeping state to a sleeping state and from a sleeping state to a sleeping state.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Most of the conventional lighting is a lighting device for ensuring working brightness, and as a lighting device for increasing the arousal level, as shown in JP-A-4-4506, the awakening level is increased by a constant illuminance. was there. Further, as an illuminating device that changes the color temperature, as shown in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-205881, an illuminating device that controls the color temperature by adjusting the dimming levels using two different color light sources, etc. was there. Further, as a technique for changing the color temperature to increase the arousal level or to relax, a plant using a lighting device comprising a light source capable of controlling the color temperature as shown in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-258868 is used. The light emission color temperature is changed depending on the state of the plant, and a moderate tension is given to the plant operator, or the tension is relieved, as shown in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 5-11397. By providing a fluorescent lamp and a switch, it is possible to achieve high illuminance and high color temperature when workability is important, and low illuminance and low color temperature when relaxation and comfort are required. In some cases, the lighting space can be easily set according to the purpose.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the conventional lighting device for ensuring the brightness for work, it is possible to perform simple work or a time zone in which the arousal level decreases due to a biological rhythm (for example, from 1 pm to 4 pm, from 3 am to 3 am At about 5 o'clock, etc., the arousal level may be reduced, work performance may be reduced, and mistakes leading to accidents may occur. On the other hand, there arises a problem that when the user wants to relax before going to bed at night, he / she cannot relax, or disturbs sleep at night.
[0004]
In addition, it is known that the color temperature environment surrounding human beings affects biological rhythm and arousal level. In low color temperature environment, it has a relaxation effect, and in high color temperature environment, it has the effect of increasing arousal level. However, in a conventional lighting device that realizes a high color temperature environment to increase tension and arousal level, and a low color temperature environment to give relaxation, relaxation, and peace of mind, it remains constant after the color temperature changes once For example, immediately after changing to a high color temperature environment, the tension and arousal level increase, but chromatic adaptation occurs with the passage of time, and after 5 to 6 minutes, the color temperature has an effect. There is a problem of fading.
[0005]
The present invention has been made in view of the above-described conventional example, and by changing the color temperature one after another before human chromatic adaptation occurs, the arousal level is increased, or the human body is relaxed or promptly falls asleep. It is an object of the present invention to provide a color temperature control lighting device that can be used, a sleep device, a wake-up device, and a sleep-wake device using the same.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above problems, the color temperature control lighting device according to the present invention alternately generates a low color temperature of 3000K or less and a medium color temperature of 4000K, and the generated time interval is more than humans cause color adaptation. with even a short time interval, it performs a medium color temperature phase suddenly changes to low color temperature stage, the change to the medium color temperature phase from the low color temperature stage a low color temperature period after maintaining a predetermined time gradually it has lines, without the presence of much time medium color temperature stage reaches the middle color temperature stage, as characterized by the rapid row Migihitsuji a change from the medium color temperature phase to a low color temperature phase again In addition, in order to quickly put a user to sleep by using this color temperature control lighting device, a low color temperature of 3000K or less and a medium color temperature of 4000K, which have a relaxing effect, are alternately generated, and the time interval for generating them is generated. Than humans cause chromatic adaptation Gradually with conducted from the intermediate color temperature phase suddenly changes to low color temperature stage, the change to the medium color temperature phase from the low color temperature stage a low color temperature period after maintaining a predetermined time and shorter time interval there line to, in the absence of much time medium color temperature stage reaches the middle color temperature phase and constitutes a falling asleep apparatus to rapidly line Migihitsuji a change from the medium color temperature phase to a low color temperature phase again With such a configuration, it is possible to prevent a chromatic adaptation from occurring due to the relaxing effect of low color temperature and the repeated effect, and to obtain a relaxing effect and a sleeping effect. That is, in order to make the user feel more relaxed, as shown in FIG. 6, by making a sudden change from the middle color temperature period to the low color temperature period, the user is made aware that the color temperature has changed low, By maintaining the low color temperature period for a predetermined time and then gradually changing from the low color temperature period to the middle color temperature period, it is possible to feel only when the color temperature is low and prevent familiarity.

[0009]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, an example of an embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 3 shows an example of the color temperature control lighting device 6. The cycle control unit 3 determines the color temperature based on the set cycle and sends a signal to the color temperature control unit 4. The color temperature control unit 4 determines the outputs of two light sources having different color temperatures, ie, a low color temperature light source 1 (3000 K (Kelvin) or less) and a high color temperature light source 2 (6700 K or more), and controls each of the dimming lights. The apparatus 5 adjusts from a low color temperature of 3000K or lower to a high color temperature of 6700K or higher.
[0010]
When the color temperature control lighting device 6 is used as a sleep device, as shown in FIG. 1 (reference diagram), a low color temperature is generated from time t1 → t2, and a medium color temperature is generated from time t2 → t3. These are switched alternately, and the switching time interval is set to be shorter than the time when humans cause chromatic adaptation. On the other hand, when the color temperature control lighting device 6 is used as a wake-up device, as shown in FIG. 2 (reference diagram), a high color temperature is generated from time t1 → t2, and the medium color temperature is changed from time t2 → t3. These are generated and switched alternately, and the time interval for switching is set to a time interval shorter than that in which human chromatic adaptation occurs.
[0011]
Here, although the time interval at which humans cause chromatic adaptation varies depending on individuals, it is said to be about 8 to 10 minutes, and the effect of changing the color temperature is 2 to 5 minutes later. It is said that it appears most frequently, and color adaptation occurs thereafter, and the effect of changes in color temperature is gradually reduced. Accordingly, the time interval shorter than that in which human chromatic adaptation occurs is preferably within 5 minutes, and a low color temperature and a medium color temperature may be alternately generated within 5 minutes.
[0012]
Thus, by using the sleep device to generate a relaxing low color temperature and a medium color temperature alternately, the user can be relaxed, relaxed and relaxed, and humans can change the color. By performing the time interval shorter than the time of adaptation (for example, the generation period of medium color temperature is 3 minutes and the generation period of low color temperature is 5 minutes), the relaxation effect and the sleep effect are enhanced. Even from a high state, it can be induced to a relaxed state or a sleep state. Especially when used in a time zone where you want to relax after bathing and before sleep, low color temperature light is given at a time interval where humans do not cause chromatic adaptation. It is possible to lower the arousal level without causing a sensation, to relax, and to fall asleep.
[0013]
On the other hand, when the user is awakened, by using the awakening device, a high color temperature having an awakening effect and an intermediate color temperature are alternately realized, thereby increasing the tension and the arousal level. In addition, when the switching is performed at a time interval shorter than human chromatic adaptation (for example, the high color temperature generation period is 3 minutes and the medium color temperature generation period is 5 minutes), the awakening effect is further enhanced and the tension is increased. It is effective to maintain feeling and arousal level. Therefore, maintain a sense of tension and arousal, such as working conditions that must maintain human arousal, such as desk work, office work, drivers, factory machine monitoring, nuclear power station central monitoring work, etc. Even when the arousal level is likely to decrease, high color temperature light is given at time intervals where humans do not cause chromatic adaptation, so chromatic adaptation is achieved by the awakening effect of high color temperature light and its repeated effects. It can raise tension and arousal level without waking up. For example, in a simple work or a time zone in which the arousal level decreases due to biological rhythm (for example, about 1 to 4 pm, about 3 to 5 am, etc.), the arousal level can be quickly increased. It is possible to activate work performance and to prevent accidents. In addition, the user can be awakened by promptly guiding the user from the sleeping state to the awake state.
[0014]
FIG. 4 shows an example of a sleep / wake-up device using the color temperature control illumination device 6 of FIG. 1 (reference diagram). When the user is relaxed or sleeps, the sleep switch 7 is pressed, and when the user is awakened, the awake switch 8 is pressed. The cycle control unit 3 determines from which switch the signal is sent, determines the color temperature based on the cycle set accordingly, and sends a signal to the color temperature control unit 4. The color temperature control unit 4 determines the outputs of two light sources having different color temperatures, ie, a low color temperature light source 1 (3000 K or less) and a high color temperature light source 2 (6700 K or more). Adjust from a low color temperature of 3000K or less to a high color temperature of 6700K or more. When the sleep switch 7 is selected, a low color temperature and a medium color temperature, which have a relaxing effect, can be alternately generated in a shorter time interval (within 5 minutes) than when a human causes chromatic adaptation. When 8 is selected, a high color temperature and a medium color temperature can be generated alternately in a shorter time interval (within 5 minutes) than when human chromatic adaptation occurs, Can be obtained by selecting.
[0015]
Here, FIG. 5 shows subjective sleepiness when the color temperature changes from a medium color temperature (for example, 4000K) to a high color temperature (for example, 6700K) and when the color temperature changes to a low color temperature (for example, 3000K). This shows a case where changes in KSS (Kwansei-gakuin Sleepiness Scale) are compared. The larger the KSS value, the stronger the drowsiness. When the color temperature is changed to 6700K or higher by the wake-up device of the present invention, the drowsiness is reduced, and the color temperature is 3000K or lower by the sleep device of the present invention. If changed to drowsiness, sleepiness will increase.
[0016]
By the way, human senses are more sensitive to changing stimuli than steady stimuli, and the same can be said for color temperature. Continuation occurs when light of high color temperature with awakening effect is continued, and the awakening effect fades. On the other hand, if the light of low color temperature that has a relaxing effect and a sleeping effect is continued, the habituation will occur and the relaxing effect will fade. Furthermore, we live in natural light environments and feel comfortable with changes in color temperature due to weather and time, that is, changes in color temperature on the blackbody locus (complete radiator locus). It has been found that the color temperature deviating from the black body locus becomes unnatural light, and anxiety and discomfort are felt.
[0017]
Therefore, in order to make the user more relaxed, as shown in FIG. 6, by making a sudden change from the middle color temperature period to the low color temperature period, the user is made aware that the color temperature has changed low, It is desirable to gradually change from the low color temperature period to the middle color temperature period. In this case, it is possible to feel only when the color temperature is low, to prevent familiarity, and to maintain a relaxed state. It becomes like this. FIG. 6 shows an embodiment of the present invention corresponding to claims 1, 3 and 5.
[0018]
On the contrary, when the user's tension and arousal level are further increased, as shown in FIG. 7, the color temperature has changed to a high level by suddenly changing from the middle color temperature period to the high color temperature period. It is desirable to gradually change from the high color temperature period to the middle color temperature period. In this case, it is possible to feel only when the color temperature is high, and to prevent familiarity. Awakening effect can be expected more. FIG. 7 shows an embodiment of the present invention corresponding to claims 2, 4, and 5.
[0019]
The time interval at which the color temperature changes may be fixed, but may be changed at random. In this case, the user cannot predict the change, and a further relaxing effect or awakening effect is obtained. Be able to. Furthermore, in order to avoid inducing anxiety and discomfort due to unnatural color temperature changes, the color temperature is changed on a black body locus (complete radiator locus) to output light close to natural light. I can do it. Further, in order to output an arbitrary color temperature, for example, the output from each light source of the three primary colors R (red), G (green), and B (blue) as shown in FIG. By adjusting the temperature, a color temperature close to the black body locus can be output. In general, it is difficult to obtain a high output with a B (blue) light source. Therefore, the configuration shown in FIG. 8A is limited in illuminance even if an arbitrary color temperature can be output. Therefore, the illuminance output may be corrected by adding a W (white) light source as shown in FIG.
[0020]
