Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If conventional lighting systems allow only activation/deactivation and intensity adjustment, then the system structure remains simple, but the lighting control flexibility and customization are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelighting control flexibilityVSAvoidsystem structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The lighting system is divided into multiple independently controllable light sources arranged in specific patterns (e.g., key light, fill light, rim light positions). Each light source can be controlled individually through the control circuit, allowing selective activation and intensity adjustment of specific lighting zones to achieve diverse lighting effects without requiring complete system redesign

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic lighting control through programmable patterns that automatically adjust the intensity and activation of different light sources over time. The control circuit enables pre-programmed lighting sequences and real-time adjustments based on detected conditions, transforming the static lighting system into a dynamic one that adapts to different broadcasting scenarios

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Reliability

If manual adjustments are required for lighting conditions, then the system remains simple to operate, but the stability and focus maintenance during live broadcasts deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefocus maintenance stabilityVSAvoidmanual adjustment requirement
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system incorporates sensors (such as motion sensors or cameras) that detect the position and movement of the subject being filmed. The control circuit receives this feedback information and automatically adjusts the lighting parameters to maintain optimal illumination on the subject, ensuring consistent focus and lighting stability without requiring manual intervention during live broadcasts

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The lighting system is designed to automatically monitor and adjust its own operation based on real-time conditions. The control circuit autonomously manages light source activation and intensity levels according to pre-programmed patterns or sensor feedback, enabling the system to self-regulate and maintain proper lighting conditions without external manual control

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple light sources are added for customized effects, then the lighting customization capability improves, but the system complexity and control difficulty increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelighting customization capabilityVSAvoidnumber of light sources
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The control circuit is designed as a universal control unit that can manage multiple light sources through a unified interface and standardized control protocols. The system provides multi-functional capabilities including individual light source control, grouped control, pre-programmed patterns, and sensor-based automatic adjustment, allowing diverse lighting effects to be achieved through a single versatile control system rather than requiring separate controls for each light source

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
