照明设备与装置
相关申请参照
本申请要求主张美国临时专利的权利，申请编号：61/038,211，于2008年3月20日提交，标题为《智能照明与能源管理系统》。作为参考，该标题已被完整而清晰地纳入到本文中。
技术领域
总的来说，本发明涉及的是电力照明领域；具体的来说，本发明涉及的是由照明设备及相应装置组成的照明系统。
背景
日益增加的能源成本和备受关注的环境问题增强了人们对能源管理技术和技巧的需要.工业、商业和住宅设施中使用能源的主要是照明电器。备用照明装置与有关的照明和能源管理系统一同使用，提供更有效的照明，降低能源使用、监测和负荷管理，以及其他相关的利益和特点。备用照明装置是以固态发光体装置或其他低功率的照明技术为基础的。它能够降低总成本，更长的更换周期。其更换周期长达30,000小时或30,000小时以上。
然而，和传统照明相比，这类型的备用照明装置前期成本较高。此外，可以控制的是，允许照明装置在一个特定照明系统中使用，从而确保该系统中所使用装置的兼容性和质量，并为生产兼容设备的厂家提供许可执行机制。该领域的快速发展，加之较长的更换周期可能会产生一种情况。在这种情况下，当需要更换这些装置中的一个装置时，兼容性照明设备可能会在原始版本中改变其功能和规格。此外，前期的高成本和较长的更换周期将会为这类型的照明设备产生一个二级市场。
正是出于这些和其他考虑因素，所作的披露才在本文中列出来。
概要
应该认识到的是：提供本概要是为了以简化的形式引入一系列概念。下面，将在《详细说明》中对这些概念进行详细地描述说明。本概要不是为了识别该申请的专利事项的关键特征或重要特征；也不是为了限制该申请的专利事项之范围。而且，该申请的专利事项不限于那些解决本披露中所指出的部分或全部缺陷的实施方案。
根据这些实施方案，所提供的照明系统包括照明设备和相应的装置。本文描述了照明设备及相应装置的技术。照明设备包括发光的照明模块和带识别数据功能的识别电路模块两部分。固定装置则包括给照明设备供应电源的驱动模块和控制器模块两部分。当照明设备连接固定装置时，控制器模块就连通照明设备中的识别电路，检索识别数据，并促使驱动模块向照明设备中的照明模块供应适当的电源。
根据另一个实施方案，所提供的照明设备包括固态发光体(SSL)设备阵列及带识别数据功能的识别电路两部分。当照明设备连接相应的固定装置时，固定装置检索识别电路中的识别数据，并向固态发光体阵列供应电源。
在详细的实施方案中，提供了一种验证连接到相应固定装置之照明设备的方法。固定装置初始化照明设备中的识别电路，接通识别电路以检索照明设备的识别数据。固定装置是以识别数据为基础来测定照明设备是否是可靠的。如果固定装置测定照明设备是可靠的，固定装置就会向照明设备上的照明模块提供适当的电源。然而，如果固定装置测定照明设备不是可靠的，固定装置则不向照明设备上的所有电源。
根据这些实施方案，查阅下列图纸及《详细说明》后，本领域的技术人员将熟悉或已经熟悉其他系统、设备和方法。现规定：所有这类附加系统、设备和/或方法都包含在本说明内，均属于本发明的范畴，并受随附专利主张的保护。

根据本文中所描述的实施方案，图5是图解说明计算系统之计算机硬件和软件架构的结构图。这个计算系统能够执行本文中所列实施方案的所有方面。
详细说明
下面的详细说明是专用于照明设备和相应的固定装置的。因为许多备用照明设备中的组件成本较高，所以照明设备中消耗性的照明组件与固定装置中的驱动和控制组件分开可能会降低这些装置中的生产和实现成本。而且，固定装置具有验证所附照明设备的能力，且只对授权的照明设备提供电源。这样，供应的照明装置执行器应有一个执行技术规格和质量标准，以及许可兼容性照明设备生产商协议的机制。
此外，照明设备还具有为固定装置提供最佳驱动参数的能力。这样，当一个新的或更换的照明设备连接到有兼容性的固定装置上时，固定装置可相应地调整所供电源，从而保证照明设备有最高的使用效率和/或最长的使用寿命。同样，以这种方式和固定装置连接时，照明设备还收集和存储使用信息，如，运行小时数。如果照明设备移到另一个固定装置上，或在二级市场出售给另一个用户时，新的固定装置上将会显示该照明设备的历史使用信息。
在下面的详细说明中，所附图纸中提到了一些参考。这些参考是本文件的组成部分，通过图例，说明具体的实施方案或举例。在所附图纸中，如数字就是通过几个数字表示如组件。
根据本文中所描述的实施方案，图1表示照明设备102及相应的固定装置104的各个方面。照明设备102包括照明模块106。该模块在给该设备提供适当电源时会发光。根据实施方案，照明模块106由许多固态发光体(SSL)装置组成。固态发光体(SSL)装置的例子包括，但不限于高功率的发光二极管(LEDs)，有机发光二极管(OLEDs)，聚合物电致发光二极管(PLEDs)，发光晶体管(LETs)和发光电容器(LECs)。
固态发光体(SSL)装置应按阵列形式组装，或为在许多线路中布设的多个固态发光体(SSL)装置。布设固态发光体(SSL)装置的线路例子有串联的、并联的、树形的、总线的、总线阵列的，群阵列的和其他许多拓扑方法布设的固态发光体(SSL)装置。在阵列中包括固态发光体(SSL)装置的不同类型和不同颜色，从而在照明模块106中产生所需要的总光量和颜色或温度。根据详细的实施方案，照明模块106由一只或一只以上白炽灯、荧光灯、卤素灯、高强度气体放电(HID)灯、纳米碳管型的结构物或这些和其他发光装置的任意组合。
照明设备102还包括识别电路108.根据实施方案，识别电路108是一个能存储识别(ID)数据110的集成(IC)装置。识别(ID)数据110识别照明设备102.识别电路108既可是单个的集成组件，也可是集成组件的组合。根据实施方案，识别电路108包括微控集成芯片，如日本东京瑞萨电子技术公司生产的主板识别芯片。在另一个实施方案中，识别电路108包括串行的电可除抹可编程只读存储(EEPROM)芯片。
识别(ID)数据110包括最小存储单位(SKU)或能识别照明设备102厂商及生产照明设备所属设备批次的序列号。识别(ID)数据110包括，但不限于，照明设备102中照明模块106的型号、颜色、温度和输出。同样，识别电路108也包括数据/通信接口116.如下面所描述的，它允许检索识别(ID)数据110。
在详细的实施方案中，除识别数据110外，识别电路108还为照明模块106存储最佳驱动参数112。最佳驱动参数112包括驱动照明模块106的重要信息，最佳亮度、效率和/或最长的使用寿命。最佳驱动参数112包括，但不限于，最佳电流、频率调制、电压以及可接受的热量和/或热电偶值。这些参数值是以照明模块106中所包含的发光装置的类型为基础的，同时也取决于照明设备102之生产批次的特性。如在识别(ID)数据110的情况下，识别电路108通过数据/通信接口116检索到最佳驱动参数112。详细情况参阅图4
根据另一个实施方案，识别电路108支持照明设备102中的备用传感器114，收集和存储与照明设备或所包含与照明模块106有关的运行信息。例如，热电偶安装在照明设备102中靠近照明模块106的地方，允许识别电路108收集和存储照明模块的温度信息。其他型号的传感器114由本领域的技术人员来设计，包括但不限于，光输出传感器。识别电路108通过本领域中众多常用的任何一种方法连接传感器。例如，传感器通过模拟数字转换器(ADC)电路和前面所描述的主板识别芯片上的通用I/O(GPIO)销子连接。
此外，识别电路108收集和存储照明设备102和/或照明模块106的其他运行信息如，运行小时数。该运行信息存储在识别电路108中的非易失性存储器如闪存存储器(RAM)内，以便信息留存在照明设备102内，即使照明设备从一个位置拆走或被安装在另一个位置。该信息会通过数据/通信接口116在外用设备上显示出来。
同样，在图1中也详细地显示了相应的固定装置104。根据实施方案，固定装置104包括向照明设备102(具体是照明模块106)供应操作电源的驱动模块118，以及控制驱动模块运行的控制器模块120两部分。驱动模块118可以是单个的集成组件，也可以是几个集成组件的组合。例如，为了驱动含有固态发光体(SSL)装置阵列的照明模块106，驱动模块包括电源转换器组件122。该组件将源动力转换成必需的直流电压，以驱动固态发光体(SSL)阵列，如图1所示。电源转换器组件122包括一个能降低电压至所需电压水平的变压器，一个将源动力从交流电转换成直流电的整流器，和/或控制给固态发光体(SSL)阵列供应电源的过滤电路。
驱动模块118包括一个通过控制器模块120接通和关闭供给照明设备102电源的开关组件124，如图4所详细描述的。驱动模块118的输出端通过一个或一个以上电源连接126与照明设备102中的照明模块106连接，如图1所示。所需的电源连接126数量取决于照明模块106中的发光装置的型号和数量，以及驱动模块118所提供的电源类型。
应该认识到的是：如图1所示，为了本披露之目的，特提供驱动模块118中的电源转换器组件122和开关组建124作为简单例子。驱动模块包括允许驱动模块驱动照明设备102中照明模块106所需的任意数量组件。例如，驱动模块118包括开关模式电源线路。控制器模块120控制该线路，从而向照明模块106提供所需的电压和电流。控制器模块120还能修改驱动模块118的输出，使照明模块106变亮或变暗，或通过使用调制技术修改它的颜色输出。这种调制技术包括，但不限于，脉冲宽度调制(PWM)、脉冲波形调制(PSM)、位角调制(BAM)、脉冲编码调制(PCM)和并行脉冲编码调制(PPCM)技术。
固定装置104中的控制器模块120负责连接照明设备102中的识别电路108，使用固定装置验证照明设备，如图4中所详细描述的。控制器模块120还可检索识别电路108中的最佳驱动参数112，修正驱动模块118的输出，并根据这些参数向照明模块106提供所需的电源。如前面所述，它包括控制器模块12。该模块控制驱动模块118之输出的电压、电流、调制频率和其他方面；如果固定装置104所使用的设备是非授权的，该模块120使驱动模块118不向照明设备102的供应电源，如图4所详细描述的。
控制器模块120既可是单个的集成组件或集成组件的组合。例如，控制器模块120包括微控集成芯片。该芯片包含非易失性存储器和晶体控制逻辑。控制器模块120经数据/通信接口116连接照明设备102中的识别电路108。使用该领域中所知晓的任意硬件通信标准可执行数据/通信接口116。因为照明设备102和固定装置104之间的连接具有可拆卸性质，因为可以期望所需串行通信接口的最小连接数量，包括但不限于I2C，串行的外设接口总线(SPI)，RS-422或其他串行的通信接口标准。例如，在利用前面提到的主板识别芯片执行实施方案时，数据/通信接口116可执行I2C标准，包括三个连接：串行数据(SDA)连接、串行时钟(SCL)连接以及向识别电路108提供电源的源电压(Vdd)连接。
根据实施方案，作为总体能源管理系统(EMS)的一部分，控制器模块120在电线通信(PLC)网络上充作网络节点，正如同时待审的美国专利申请(编号：     )，标题是《能源管理系统》，申请日期：2009年3月20日，指派的律师案卷编号：60060.0001USU2。根据参考，它已被完整而清晰地纳入到本文中。控制器模块120和电线通信(PLC)调制解调器128连接。该调制解调器允许控制器连接到电线通信(PLC)网络上的其他节点，和一个或一个以上的中央系统控制器。就图2来说，正如在下面将要详述的那样，电线通信调制解调器128既可是单独的集成组件，也可是集成组件的组合，或它被纳入到控制器模块120线路之中，或作为软件在控制器模块中使用。电线通信调制解调器128还和固定装置104中的源动力连接，通过电线推动控制器模块120上的通信通道。
应该认识到的是：在图1中，当驱动模块118，控制器模块120和电线通信调制解调器作为固定装置104中单独的、与众不同的模块来举例说明时，这些模块中的任意或全部模块均可合并到单个的集成线路中，或分成更小的分立电路，如需要。所选择的执行方案须取决于固定装置104中所使用的集成组件、照明设备102以及要使用的这些装置的外形。而且应该认识到的是：熟悉该领域的技术人员可设计任意数量的线路，以执行这些模块和其他模块或本文中所描述组件的功能。特规定：本次申请将包括所有这类线路。
图2举例说明了照明设备102及相应的固定装置104的运行环境200.图2中所示的照明设备102包括安置在下表面上的固态发光体(SSL)装置阵列以及安置在上表面上的许多连接或销子。这些连接或销子是供照明设备和固定装置104之间的电源连接126和数据/通信接口116使用的。如前面所描述的，电源连接126所需要的连接数量将取决于照明模块106中的发光装置的数量和类型，以及驱动模块118所提供的电源类型。数据/通信接口116所需要的连接器数量取决于识别电路108和控制器模块120之间所实施的串行通信接口标准。
当照明设备102固定在固定装置上或连接固定装置时，固定装置104下表面上的相应连接器或插座就被接纳到照明设备102上的连接器。照明设备102和固定装置104之间的附加装置是可拆卸的，从而便于本系统中的照明设备更换。换句话说，照明设备102是可从固定装置104上拆除的，用新的照明设备更换，或照明设备被移到另一个固定装置上去。
如图2所示，照明设备102固定到固定装置104上的附件机制还可使用本领域技术人员所熟知除销子和插座之外的任何方式。根据实施方案，使用磁性耦合302将照明设备102固定到固定装置102上，如图3A和3B所示。正如同时待审的美国专利申请(编号：    )，标题是《导电磁耦合系统》，申请日期：2009年3月20日，指派的代理人案卷编号：60060.0001USU3。根据参考，它已被完整而清晰地纳入到本文中。磁性耦合302既可机械地固定照明设备，便于电源与连接126和数据/通信接口116的连接。在详细的实施方案中，除前面所描述的及图纸所示的那些连接器外，还使用其他的附加机制。例如，照明设备102包括将照明设备固定到固定装置104的翼形螺丝。
在实施方案中，固定装置104安装在被配置的适配器外形接口中，通过常规插座202与电源连接，如图2，3A和3B中所示的爱迪生式螺口插座。固定装置104的适配器装置还被配置用于固定其他的常规插座，例如，和传统的荧光管照明一同使用的双向销插座。在备选的实施方案中，固定装置104通过简单的机械连接或其他专有方法直接连接电源。
通过开关204打开/关掉固定装置104上的电源。开关204是常规的灯开关，或是电线通信(PLC)开关。即使开关位于“Off”的位置，该开关能连接固定装置104中的控制器模块120到电线通信网络上的其它节点。固定装置104的电源连接电气服务面板206。该面板项向电线通信(PLC)网络上的其他节点供给电源，如图2中所示的系统控制器计算机208.
系统控制器计算机208是通用的计算机，如台式电脑、便携式电脑、笔记本电脑、服务器电脑；系统控制器计算机208也可是有特殊用途的计算机设备。系统控制器计算机208可执行系统控制器程序212。该程序负责管理电线通信(PLC)网络(包括固定装置104)上的一个或一个以上节点。系统控制器计算机208连接到
类似于固定装置104中电线通信网络的电线通信(PLC)调制解调器上，经电线在固定装置120中的控制器模块120和在系统控制器计算机中执行的系统控制器程序212之间建立一个通信通道。
正如前面简要的讨论，固定装置104之控制器模块120能够控制照明设备102中驱动模块118之输出的电压、电流、调制频率以及其他各方面。控制器模块120控制驱动模块118之输出所采用的参数可从照明设备102里的识别电路108中获得；或从中央数据库214中获得。根据实施方案，中央数据库214位于系统控制器计算机208之中或被复制到系统控制器计算机208。中央数据库214包含单个的设备记录216。设备记录216为相应的识别数据110存储最佳的驱动参数112。
设备记录216由一家或一家以上的兼容照明设备商供应，或能源管理系统(EMS)管理人员将之接入到中央数据库214中；系统控制器程序212通过互联网检索生产商，并将之存储在中央数据库中。就图4来说，正如在下面将要详述的那样，固定装置104中的控制器模块120通过电线通信(PLC)网络访问中央数据库214，为具体的识别数据110检索最佳的驱动参数112，或系统控制器程序212通过电线通信(PLC)网络将参数输入固定装置。
根据另一个实施方案，系统控制器程序212覆盖驱动模块118所使用的最佳驱动参数112，向照明设备102供应电源。系统控制器程序212通过电线通信(PLC)网络向控制器模块120发送驱动参数。这些驱动参数不同于从识别电路108或中央数据库214中获得的最佳驱动参数112。例如，系统控制器程序212通过电线通信(PLC)网络从照明设备102中的识别电路108获得识别数据110，然后访问中央数据214，为识别数据110检索最佳的驱动参数112。然而，系统控制器程序212根据对该环境中周围照明设备的了解修改最佳驱动参数112，以便使照明设备102的光输出与周围设备的强度和/或温度(颜色)一致。然后，系统控制器程序212将向固定装置104中的控制器模块212发送修改的驱动参数，控制器模块将使用修改的驱动参数来控制照明设备102中驱动模块118的输出。
现在，来讨论图4，就本文中所提出的实施方案来说，将提供更多的详细情况。应该认识到的是：图4所描述的逻辑运行1)作为计算机执行行为之序列或在微控器或作为计算机系统上运行的程序模块来执行；和/或2)作为本文中所描述的各种组件和模块内部的互连机器逻辑电路或线路模块来执行。所选择的实施方案取决于执行照明设备102及相应的固定装置104时所选择的组件，以及本系统的性能和其他要求。本文中所描述的逻辑运行在计算机系统中的软件或固件中，在特殊用途的数字逻辑电路中，或在这些逻辑电路的任意组合中执行。还应理解的是：和各图中所显示的以及本文中所描述的相比，能进行更多的或更少的运行。这些运行也可以不同于所描述的顺序进行。
根据实施方案，图4说明了用于验证固定在相应固定装置104上之照明设备102的例行程序400。通过检测照明设备102的连接，固定装置104中的控制器模块120可执行例行程序400；或向固定装置供应电源时，执行例行程序。例行程序400在运行402处开始。在该处，控制器模块120初始化照明设备102上的识别电路108。这讨论了简单地向识别电路108提供源动力(VDD)，或讨论更复杂的初始化序列。其中，控制器模块120和识别电路协商通信标准和其它初始化参数。
从运行402处开始，例行程序400运行至运行404处。其中，控制器模块120将验证所固定的照明设备102。根据实施方案，验证过程包括控制器模块120检索序列号或作为识别电路108中识别数据110之组成部分被存储的SKU。控制器模块120使用该模块与识别电路108之间的数据/通信接口116读取存储在其中的识别数据110。控制器模块120中出现被授权的最小存储单位(SKUs)列表；或控制器模块120利用电线通信(PLC)网络访问远程设备，如系统控制器计算机208，上的被授权的最小存储单位(SKUs)列表。
在另一种实施方案中，控制器模块120使用非对称加密方案如公钥基础设施(PKI)来验证照明设备102。这种验证方案为照明设备102和装置设备104提供了一个更加稳健和安全的验证形式；并通过提供每个授权生产一份安全证书的方式为许可生产兼容照明设备提供一种机制。该证书包括存储在该设备的识别电路108中的公钥及相应的密钥两部分。
例如，控制器模块120通过数据/通信接口116请求验证识别电路108。作为回应，识别电路108会将发行的安全证书返回给生产商并存储在该电路中。控制器模块120则根据控制器模块中包含的授权证书认证安全证书。然后，控制器模块120向识别电路108发出一个查问，如随机数，以证明识别电路包含与本证书相关的密钥。识别电路108会用它的密钥数字签名随机数，并将它发回去以相应控制器模块120。如果控制器模块120使用存储在识别电路108先前所提供的安全证书中的公钥验证了查问应答的，然后，再验证照明设备102与固定装置104的使用。应该认识到的是：除前面描述的那些方法外，还能使用其他的验证形式，包括但不限于，密钥对称交换或其他加密技术，来验证照明设备102。
如果，在运行406处，照明设备102不是可靠的，也就是说，控制器模块120未能验证该设备中的识别电路108，那么例行程序400继续运行到运行408处。其中，控制器模块不使驱动模块118向照明设备中照明模块106的所有输出供应电源。
另一种情况是，控制器模块120对未经授权的照明设备102采取更为积极的对策，如使驱动模块118给照明设备发送一个电压尖峰，由此，永久禁用它。
如果，然而，照明设备102被认为是可靠的，例行程序400会从运行406处继续运行到运行410处。其中，控制器模块120检索该设备中识别电路108的其余识别数据110和最佳驱动参数112，如果有。在实施方案中，控制器模块120通过电线通信(PLC)网络访问存储在系统控制器计算机208上的中央数据库214，为在识别电路108中检索到的识别数据110测定设备记录216的位置；为照明设备102检索最佳驱动参数。即使一组最佳驱动参数存储在识别电路108中，控制器模块120远程访问这组最佳驱动参数112。因为生产商基于测试或该设备随时间的推移而导致的光输出变化定期更新他们照明设备中的驱动参数。
从运行410处开始，例行程序运行到运行412处。其中，控制器模块120是以识别电路108和/或中央数据库214检索到的最佳驱动参数为基础促使驱动模块118向照明设备102中的照明模块106供应适当电源。这包括修改驱动模块118之输出的电压、电流和频率调制，以便与具体的参数匹配。从运行410处开始，例行程序400结束。
图5举例说明了计算机500的计算机结构。该计算机能够管理电线通信(PLC)网络上一个或一个以上节点的。图5所示的计算机结构说明了常规的计算设备、PDA、便携式数字电话、通信设备、台式电脑或服务器计算机；正如在系统控制器计算机208或其他计算平台上运行的那样，它用来执行本文中所描述的软件组件的各个方面功能。
图5所示的计算机结构包括中央处理单元502(CPU)、系统内存508(包括随机存取内存514(RAM)和只读存储器516(ROM))以及耦合内存到中央处理单元502(CPU)的系统总线504。一个包含基本例行程序的基本输入/输出系统利于转换计算机500中各要素间的信息，如在启动期间，保持在只读存储器516(ROM)中的信息。计算机500包括存储操作系统518的大容量存储设备510、应用程序和本文中详细描述的其他程序模块。
大容量存储设备510通过大容量存储控制器(没有显示)连接中央处理单元502(CPU)。大容量存储控制器连接总线504。大容量存储设备510及其相关的计算机可读介质为计算机500提供非易失性存储。虽然本文中所包含的计算机可读介质描述是指大容量存储设备，如硬盘或CD-ROM驱动，但本领域中熟练的技术人员应认识到的是：计算机可读介质是能访问计算机500的任何现有计算机存储介质。
通过举例，但不限于举例，计算机可读介质包括以任何方法或技术实施存储计算机可读性指令、数据结构的易失性的和非易失性的、移动的和非移动的存储介质，但不限于，RAM、ROM、EPROM、EEPROM、闪存；或其他固态存储技术、CD-ROM、数字多功能光盘(DVD)、HD-DVD、BLU-RAY；或其他光存储、磁带盒、磁带、磁盘存储、磁存储设备或能够用来存储所需信息且计算机500可以访问的其他任何介质。
根据各种实施方案，计算机500使用远程计算设备逻辑连接以及通过网络520使用计算机系统的网络环境中运行。计算机500通过连接在总线504上的网络接口单元506连接到网络520上。应该认识到的是：网络接口单元506用来连接其他类型的网络和远程计算机系统。计算机500应包括用来接收和处理许多输入/输出设备之输入信息的输入/输出控制器512。例如，输入/输出控制器512支持计算机500连接电线通信(PLC)调制解调器210。在电线通信(PLC)网络522中，该调制解调器允许在连接其他节点(如图1和图2中所描述的固定装置104)的计算机上运行应用程序。输入/输出控制器512连接到其他输入设备上，包括键盘、鼠标、触摸板、触摸屏、电子探针或其他类型的输入设备。同样，输入/输出控制器512向显示设备(如电脑显示器、平板显示器、数字投影机、打印机或其它类型的输出设备)提供输出。
正如前面简短提到的，许多程序模块和数据文件均存储在计算机500中的大容量存储设备510和RAM514内，包适合于控制计算机运行的操作系统518。大容量存储设备510和RAM514还存储一个或一个以上的程序模块。尤其是，大容量存储设备510和RAM514存储系统控制器程序212，如图2中所描述的。大容量存储设备510和RAM514还存储其他类型的程序模块或数据，如中央数据库214.
基于前面所描述的，应该认识到的是：本文中提供的是照明设备和相应固定装置的技术。前面描述的专利事项是仅通过举例来提供的，但不应阐释为限制。在没有下面所描述和图解说明的实施例和应用的情况下，可对本文中描述的专利主题进行修改和变动。但这类修改和改动均不得背离下面主张中所规定的本发明的真正精神和范围。
