CONTROL DEVICE, CONTROL METHOD AND CONTROL PROGRAM

To easily turn on light emission devices in a lighting pattern corresponding to the arrangement order of the light emission devices.SOLUTION: There is provided a control device comprising: an information gathering part which gathers device information from a plurality of light emission devices which light on/off repeatedly in a lighting pattern having a light-on period and a light-off period in one cycle prescribed; an arrangement order determination part which determines the arrangement order of the light emission devices based upon the device information; a time calculation part which uses the arrangement order to determine start time when each light emission device start repetition of the lighting pattern; and a lighting control part which transmits lighting information including the start time to the respective light emission devices, and lets the respective light emission devices start repeating the lighting pattern.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】発光装置の並び順に応じた点灯パターンで、容易に発光装置を点灯させることができる。【解決手段】１周期内の点灯期間および消灯期間が規定された点灯パターンで点灯と消灯とを繰り返す複数の発光装置から装置情報を収集する情報収集部と、前記装置情報に基づいて前記発光装置の並び順を決定する並び順決定部と、前記並び順を用いて、各々の前記発光装置が前記点灯パターンの繰り返しを開始する開始時刻を算出する時刻算出部と、前記開始時刻を含む点灯情報を各々の前記発光装置に送信するとともに、各々の前記発光装置において前記点灯パターンの繰り返しを開始させる点灯制御部と、を備える、制御装置が構成される。【選択図】図２
