Abstract:
A light source control system includes a plurality of light sources, and a plurality of light source control devices. The light source control devices include a plurality of main light source control devices that transmits command signals to the other light source control devices. Each main light source control device includes a collision determination circuit that determines whether data of the command signal transmitted through a bus has collided with other data, and a restoration circuit that executes a restoration operation in the case of a collision. The collision determination circuit includes an edge detection circuit that detects change timing of a signal representing the data of the command signal, an area setting circuit that sets a collision determination area in accordance with the detected change timing detected, and a collision detection circuit that detects the presence or absence of a collision in the set collision determination area.

Claim (Index 13):
A light source control system, comprising:\n a plurality of light sources; and a plurality of corresponding light source control devices configured to communicate with each other through a bus, wherein the light source control devices include a plurality of main light source control devices that transmit command signals to the other light source control devices, wherein each of the main light source control devices includes a collision determination circuit that determines whether data of the command signal transmitted through the bus has collided with other data, and wherein the collision determination circuit includes an edge detection circuit that detects change timing of a signal representing the data of the command signal; an area setting circuit that sets a plurality of collision determination areas in accordance with the change timing detected by the edge detection circuit; and a collision detection circuit that detects the presence or absence of a collision in the plurality of collision determination areas.
