Solution Overview

Problem

Current car lamps lack the ability to dynamically adjust or replace their dynamic lamp signal functions, resulting in a simple and non-intelligent illumination experience.

Innovation Solution

A controlling method and device for car lamps that acquire musical-composition information from a current music track to control light emitting regions and time periods, allowing the lamp to exhibit synchronized effects based on the music, including determining light emitting lamp beads and brightness according to musical notes and pitch information.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If car lamps use fixed working conditions for dynamic lamp signals, then the lamp signal function is simple and reliable, but the degree of intellectualization is poor and cannot be replaced or adjusted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedegree of intellectualizationVSAvoidlamp control system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The car lamp system is designed to perform multiple functions: basic illumination, fixed dynamic lamp signals, and music-synchronized dynamic lamp signals. The control module can switch between different working modes (first working condition for fixed signals, second working condition for music-synchronized signals), making the system universal and adaptable to different scenarios without requiring separate systems for each function.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The lamp control system transitions from a static, fixed working condition to a dynamic, adjustable system. In the second working condition, the dynamic lamp signal parameters (such as brightness, timing, and pattern) are no longer fixed but are dynamically adjusted based on music signal parameters including beat frequency, amplitude, and spectral content. This dynamic adaptation significantly improves the degree of intellectualization while maintaining system reliability through structured control logic.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Ease of operation

If car lamps implement music-synchronized dynamic signals, then the user experience and enjoyment are enhanced, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser experienceVSAvoidcontrol system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

A music signal processing module serves as an intermediary between the music source and the lamp control system. This intermediary module extracts relevant features from the music signal (beat detection, amplitude envelope, frequency spectrum) and translates them into control parameters for the dynamic lamp signals. By introducing this intermediary layer, the system enhances user experience through music-synchronized effects while managing complexity through modular architecture and standardized processing pipelines.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces traditional mechanical or fixed electronic control mechanisms with signal processing-based control. Instead of using fixed timing circuits or mechanical switches for dynamic lamp signals, the system uses digital signal processing to analyze music signals and generate corresponding lamp control commands. This substitution enables more sophisticated and flexible control while reducing physical complexity through software-based solutions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)
