Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If each light body is controlled by a separate light control device, then the control accuracy of each light body is improved, but the device complexity and difficulty of centralized control increase
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple light control devices are merged into a single light control device that can control multiple light bodies. The patent implements this by having one light control device send control data to multiple light bodies using address information to identify target light bodies, thereby reducing system complexity while maintaining control capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The light control device is designed with multi-functionality to control different light bodies. By incorporating address information in control data packets, a single light control device can selectively control multiple different light bodies, eliminating the need for separate dedicated control devices for each light body.
2Device complexity
If a single light control device controls multiple light bodies, then the device complexity is reduced, but the control precision and accuracy decrease
Solution Approach 1:
The control system implements local quality by including address information in each control data packet. This allows the single light control device to send differentiated control commands to different light bodies, ensuring that each light body receives the correct control information specific to its identity and requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
Address information acts as an intermediary element between the single light control device and multiple light bodies. The address information in the control data packets enables the light control device to accurately identify and control the intended target light body among multiple recipients, maintaining control precision without requiring separate control devices.
3Ease of operation
If control data is transmitted to all light bodies, then the centralized control is simplified, but the energy consumption and redundant operations increase
Solution Approach 1:
The control data transmission is segmented by using address information to identify specific target light bodies. Instead of uniformly transmitting control data to all light bodies, the system segments the transmission by matching address information, allowing the light control device to efficiently send control data only to the intended target light body or bodies.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements partial action by transmitting control data selectively to specific light bodies based on address matching. Rather than sending control data to all light bodies (excessive action), the system sends control data only to the light bodies whose address information matches the control data, reducing redundant operations and energy consumption while maintaining simplified centralized control.
