Solution Overview

Problem

Current keyboard lighting effect settings are cumbersome and do not cater to individual user preferences, leading to suboptimal user experiences.

Innovation Solution

A lighting effect control method that captures pixel data from a display frame to determine light-emitting color data for each element, allowing the lighting effect to match the display image, with an adaptable inference model that learns user preferences.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If manual lighting effect settings are provided, then users can adjust lighting effects, but the operation is cumbersome and does not achieve desired results

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelighting effect adjustmentVSAvoidoperation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically captures pixel data from the display frame buffer and determines light-emitting color data without requiring manual user input. The processor autonomously matches lighting effects to display content, eliminating the need for users to manually adjust lighting parameters while still providing personalized lighting effects.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system continuously monitors the display frame buffer to capture pixel data and uses this feedback to dynamically adjust the lighting effects. By establishing a feedback loop between display content and lighting output, the system automatically adapts lighting effects to match the current display scenario without user intervention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Adaptability or versatility

If a single lighting effect control method is used, then the system is simple to implement, but it does not cater to individual user preferences and habits

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalization capabilityVSAvoidcontrol system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-establishes multiple lighting effect modes (first lighting effect mode and second lighting effect mode) with different color schemes. Based on the captured pixel data and display scenario, the processor selectively applies the appropriate pre-defined lighting mode, enabling personalized lighting effects without requiring complex real-time calculation or user configuration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes lighting parameters (color data, brightness, lighting effect mode) based on the pixel data from the display frame. By dynamically adjusting these parameters according to the display content and scenario, the system provides adaptability to different user preferences and habits while maintaining a relatively simple control architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

Disclosed are an electronic apparatus and a lighting effect control method thereof. The method is adaptable for an electronic apparatus including a light-emitting apparatus and includes the following steps. Pixel data of a display frame of a display apparatus is captured from an image buffer. Light-emitting color data respectively corresponding to multiple light-emitting elements of the light-emitting apparatus is determined according to the pixel data of the display frame. Each of the light-emitting elements of the light-emitting apparatus is controlled to emit light according to the light-emitting color data of each of the light-emitting elements.
