Bluetooth Mesh Lighting Identification for Ceiling Reset Access
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing smart lighting systems require manual setup and re-installation if errors occur, and accessing installed lighting apparatuses on ceilings is difficult, making it hard to correct identification information and perform resets.
Innovation Solution
Incorporating a lighting-side Bluetooth module, sensor unit, and control unit in lighting apparatuses that allow detection of designated lights to broadcast unique identification information and enable remote resetting via Bluetooth Low Energy protocol, forming a mesh network with a user's terminal for easy identification and control.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If lighting apparatuses are installed on ceilings for smart lighting control, then convenience of operation is improved, but accessibility for installation and maintenance is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
A mobile terminal device serves as an intermediary between the user and the ceiling-mounted lighting apparatus. The terminal communicates with the lighting apparatus via Bluetooth Low Energy to transmit commands and receive status information, eliminating the need for direct physical access to the ceiling-mounted devices for operation and maintenance.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces mechanical access (physically reaching ceiling-mounted devices) with wireless communication (Bluetooth Low Energy protocol). The mobile terminal device transmits control signals and receives status data through wireless communication, substituting the mechanical interaction required for traditional ceiling lighting control.
2Adaptability or versatility
If manual setup is performed for each lighting apparatus, then installation flexibility is improved, but installation time and error rate are worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The lighting apparatus automatically broadcasts its unique identification information when powered on, before the user needs to configure it. The mobile terminal automatically detects this broadcast information and uses it for identification and pairing, eliminating the need for manual setup procedures and reducing installation time.
Solution Approach 2:
The lighting apparatus performs self-identification by automatically broadcasting its unique identification information when powered on. The system eliminates the need for manual configuration by having the device present its own identification data, which the mobile terminal then uses for automatic pairing and configuration.
3Measurement precision
If unique identification information is stored in memory, then device identification accuracy is improved, but accessibility of identification information is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The mobile terminal device acts as an intermediary that retrieves and displays the unique identification information stored in the lighting apparatus's memory. Instead of requiring direct access to the lighting apparatus's internal memory, the terminal communicates with the apparatus via Bluetooth Low Energy to obtain and present the identification information, maintaining both accuracy and accessibility.
