Abstract: There are provided a light driving apparatus capable of being commonly used in various types of dimmers, and a driving method therefor. The light driving apparatus includes: a driving unit supplying driving power to a light emitting device according to controlling to drive the light emitting device; and a general-purpose dimming controlling unit controlling dimming of the light emitting device by converting a range of a brightness control signal of an external dimmer into a first voltage range according to a preset ratio to control the supply of power from the driving unit.

Abstract: There are provided a dimming control apparatus, a lighting system driving apparatus, and a dimming control method, the dimming control apparatus including a voltage converting unit converting a dimming signal from a dimmer into dimming voltage, an analog-to-digital (A/D) converting unit converting the dimming voltage into a digital dimming value, a dimming setting unit determining whether or not the digital dimming value is included in a preset dimming value range, and when the digital dimming value is not included in the preset dimming value range, resetting the dimming value range so as to allow the digital dimming value to be included in the reset dimming value range, a memory unit storing a dimming control value corresponding to the digital dimming value, and a dimming control unit generating a dimming control signal based on the dimming control value corresponding to the digital dimming value from the A/D converting unit.

Abstract: Provided are a file system configuration method and apparatus for data security, a method and apparatus for accessing a data security area formed by the same, and a data storage device accessed by the same. A method of configuring a file system comprising a general area in which general data is stored and a security area in which security data is stored, in a storage device, includes generating a first file system format corresponding to the general area to store the first file system format in a buffer; generating a second file system format corresponding to the security area and storing the second file system format in the buffer so as to allow an authorized user to read data stored in the general area and not to allow the authorized user to write data to the general area when the authorized user accesses the security area; and configuring the file system of the storage device by using the first and second file system formats stored in the buffer.
