Solution Overview

Problem

Existing lighting systems in performance venues like sports stadiums and concert halls struggle to create systematic lighting patterns and synchronized cheering effects, and audiences at remote locations cannot experience the same performance effects as those in the venue.

Innovation Solution

A performance directing system that controls cheering lighting devices in a performance hall and remote places simultaneously by generating synchronized control data using a control console device, data processing device, and time code information to ensure synchronized playback.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If multiple lighting devices are individually controlled in a performance hall, then each device can be independently adjusted, but it becomes difficult to create a systematic lighting pattern or shape

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveindividual device control flexibilityVSAvoidsystematic lighting pattern coordination
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges individual lighting device controls into a unified control system that receives centralized control signals. Multiple lighting devices are coordinated through a common control architecture that manages timing, sequencing, and synchronization across all devices, transforming independent control into coordinated collective action while preserving individual device adjustability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The control system incorporates feedback mechanisms that monitor the performance hall environment and adjust lighting patterns accordingly. Sensors detect audience responses, lighting conditions, and performance events, providing real-time feedback to the control system to dynamically modify lighting sequences and patterns, enabling adaptive systematic control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Ease of operation

If lighting devices are used to create cheering effects in a performance hall, then the atmosphere is enhanced, but audiences at remote places cannot experience the same performance effects

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveperformance atmosphere creationVSAvoidremote audience experience accessibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transmits control signals and lighting patterns from the performance hall to remote locations through communication systems. Remote lighting devices replicate the cheering effects by receiving and executing identical or synchronized control sequences, allowing distant audiences to experience the same atmospheric effects without being physically present at the venue.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces communication infrastructure as an intermediary between the performance hall and remote locations. Control signals, timing information, and synchronization data are transmitted through networks to coordinate lighting effects across different locations, enabling remote audiences to participate in the performance experience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Device complexity

If synchronized control data is transmitted to remote locations, then lighting effects can be coordinated across places, but playback delays may occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesynchronized control coordinationVSAvoidsignal transmission delay
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The control system pre-calculates and buffers control signals, timing information, and synchronization data before transmission to remote locations. By preparing control sequences in advance and storing them in buffers, the system can compensate for transmission delays and ensure synchronized playback even when network latency occurs, maintaining timing accuracy across distributed locations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts transmission parameters such as data rate, packet size, and timing intervals based on network conditions. By monitoring signal quality and latency variations, the control system modifies transmission parameters in real-time to optimize synchronization while minimizing delays, adapting the control data delivery to current network performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

Disclosed is a performance directing system that simultaneously controls cheering lighting devices of audiences by linking a performance hall and a remote place. According to an embodiment of the inventive concept, it is possible to identically implement and provide performance directing effects on audience seats of a performance hall to audiences at a remote place. Accordingly, audiences at the remote place may have the same experience as watching a performance at an actual performance site.
