Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If pre-defined color temperature settings are used, then device complexity is reduced, but adaptability to user preferences and ambient conditions deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically collects ambient light sensing data and user preference data, transmits it to a remote server for model construction, and applies the generated model to adjust color temperature settings without requiring user intervention. This self-service approach resolves the contradiction by eliminating the need for complex manual adjustment interfaces while achieving personalized adaptation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary data collection of ambient lighting conditions and user preferences, then uses a remote server to construct predictive models in advance. These pre-established models enable automatic color temperature adjustment based on current conditions, resolving the contradiction between simplicity and adaptability by preparing adjustment strategies beforehand rather than requiring complex real-time decision interfaces.

Inventive Principle:

AI summary

One embodiment provides a method comprising collecting ambient light sensing (ALS) data indicative of one or more ambient lighting conditions of a user within proximity of a display device, and collecting user preferences and characteristics (UPC) of the user. The UPC include a user-preferred display correlated color temperature (CCT). The user-preferred display CCT represents a CCT the user prefers for the display device. The method further comprises transmitting to a remote server the ALS data and the UPC, and receiving from the remote server one or more models constructed based in part on some of the ALS data and some of the UPC. The method further comprises automatically adjusting one or more color temperature settings of the display device based on the one or more models.
