Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods for online cheering performances using virtual cheering sticks are limited by the need for separate purchases, difficulty in harmonizing colors and brightness, and lack of interactive feedback, leading to a disjointed experience for both users and performers due to network variations and one-way communication.

Innovation Solution

A cheering stick control message transmitter system that allows users to control actual cheering sticks remotely through a broadcasting method, enabling synchronized light and vibration patterns, and providing interactive feedback without the need for additional drivers or separate charging devices, thereby enhancing the online performance experience.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Speed

If Bluetooth Low Energy communication is used to control cheering sticks, then wireless control is enabled, but transmission speed and range are limited

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvetransmission speedVSAvoidcommunication reliability

Core Design Contradiction:

SpeedVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a broadcasting message transmitter as an intermediary device that receives control messages from the terminal and transmits them to cheering sticks. This mediator overcomes the limitations of direct Bluetooth communication by using a different transmission mechanism that achieves both high speed and reliability

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If virtual cheering sticks are used on user terminals, then online cheering is enabled, but users cannot use actual cheering sticks they already own

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecompatibility with existing cheering sticksVSAvoidneed for additional virtual cheering sticks

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal control system that can control both virtual cheering sticks on terminals and actual physical cheering sticks through the same broadcasting message mechanism. This multi-functional approach eliminates the need for separate virtual cheering sticks while maintaining online cheering capability

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Ease of operation

If actual cheering sticks are used in online performances, then real cheering sticks are available, but synchronized control and harmonized colors/brightness are difficult to achieve

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesynchronized controlVSAvoidcolor and brightness harmonization

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the terminal receives control messages from the server, transmits them via broadcasting to cheering sticks, and can receive feedback from the cheering sticks. This closed-loop control enables synchronized operation and coordinated color/brightness patterns across multiple cheering sticks

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system controls cheering sticks by dynamically changing parameters such as light emission color, brightness, and vibration patterns through broadcasting messages. This parameter-based control allows precise harmonization of multiple cheering sticks' visual and tactile characteristics

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes

4Productivity

If network conditions vary by region, then online access is available, but unified cheering performance and sense of unity are compromised

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecheering synchronizationVSAvoidsense of unity

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The broadcasting message transmitter acts as a local intermediary that receives control messages and distributes them to cheering sticks independently of network conditions. This local broadcasting mechanism ensures synchronized cheering performance regardless of regional network variations

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
