Content-Based Light Illumination Synchronization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic devices with light arrays lack the ability to synchronize light illuminations with video content effectively, as they cannot dynamically adjust light configurations and colors based on image data in real-time, leading to a disjointed visual experience.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for content-based light illumination that includes a user interface for configuring light arrays, generating light illumination sequences, and synchronizing these sequences with video content, using components like light configuration, content, visual representation, and illumination sequence data generators to adjust light positions, sizes, colors, and timing to match the content displayed.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If light arrays are used in electronic devices, then visual display capability is improved, but synchronization with video content is not achieved
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts light array configurations including position, size, color, and timing based on real-time analysis of video content frames. The illumination sequence generator continuously adapts light parameters to match the displayed content, transforming static light displays into dynamic, content-synchronized visual experiences.
Solution Approach 2:
The system processes video content frames and uses this feedback to control light array outputs. The illumination sequence generator receives content analysis and adjusts light configurations accordingly, creating a closed-loop system where video content directly drives light display adaptations in real-time.
2Productivity
If light arrays emit constant light, then energy consumption is reduced, but visual engagement with content is diminished
Solution Approach 1:
The system activates light arrays periodically based on video content timing rather than continuously. The illumination sequence generator controls light emission to synchronize with content frames, creating periodic illumination patterns that match the rhythm of the video, thereby reducing energy consumption while maintaining visual engagement.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes light color dynamically based on video content analysis. The illumination sequence generator adjusts color parameters to match the displayed content, enhancing visual engagement through color synchronization while controlling energy consumption by activating lights only when content requires visual output.
3Adaptability or versatility
If light arrays have fixed configuration, then device complexity is reduced, but content matching capability is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the light array into individually controllable elements or zones. The illumination sequence generator can independently control different portions of the light array, allowing complex content matching through coordinated activation of individual light segments rather than requiring the entire array to change configuration uniformly.
Solution Approach 2:
The illumination sequence generator serves multiple functions: analyzing content, determining timing, calculating light parameters, and coordinating synchronization. This multi-functional approach enables advanced content matching capability while managing device complexity by consolidating control functions in a single generator component.

AI summary
Systems and methods for content-based light illuminations are disclosed. For example, a user interface may be utilized to receive and/or determine a configuration of a light array associated with a connected device. The configuration may be utilized to generate a visual representation of the light array, which may be overlaid on a display window that is configured to display content to be utilized for generating light illumination sequences. Color changes associated with each light representation of the visual representation may be determined based at least in part on the positioning and area of the display window associated with the light representations, and corresponding illumination data may be generated and sent to the connected device.
