Abstract

Recently, gadgets and clothes using luminous equipments, which consist of wearable fashion, have attracted attention in many events such as fashion shows and exhibitions. Flicker patterns of these electronic equipments are sometimes controlled by microcomputers. By using a microcomputer, it is possible to use a complex pattern controlled by a program. However, it is difficult for a user to program his/her desired flicker pattern with a microcomputer. In this paper, we present a control system of flicker patterns focusing on LEDs. Our proposing system introduces the notion of the incremental programming for designing flicker patterns. Then, a long time pattern can be stored in a microcomputer by compressing a flicker pattern data. Moreover, we discuss the validity of this system through experiences in several events.
