Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods for creating dynamic artworks from static ones are expensive, environmentally unfriendly, and lack a technique to effectively utilize specific colored lighting to transform artwork colors and perceptions, resulting in limited impact and excessive energy consumption.

Innovation Solution

A method involving the design and calibration of static artworks with specific color arrangements that respond predictably to choreographed RGB lighting sequences, transforming into dynamic artworks by changing colors and luminosities, using a technique called diliet that employs precise color calibration and sequencing to achieve a unique, programmable, and environmentally friendly dynamic effect.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Illumination intensity

If traditional dynamic artwork methods (video projections, LCD screens, neon signs) are used, then dynamic visual effects are achieved, but cost and environmental impact increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedynamic visual effectVSAvoidenvironmental impact and cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses optical copying by projecting calibrated colored lights onto static artworks with specific color arrangements. The light patterns create dynamic visual effects that appear on the artwork surface without requiring physical dynamic displays. The colored lights reflect off the artwork's pigments to produce the desired dynamic color transformations, achieving visual impact through optical interaction rather than expensive dynamic display hardware.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces mechanical/electronic dynamic display systems (LCD screens, video projections, neon signs) with an optical system using calibrated colored lights. Instead of using complex electronic displays that consume energy and have environmental impact, the invention uses controlled light sources with specific color temperatures and intensities that interact with the artwork's color properties to create dynamic effects, substituting a simpler optical mechanism for complex mechanical-electronic systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Illumination intensity

If static artworks are lit with colored lights, then color transformation occurs, but without specific calibration the effect lacks impact and predictability

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecolor transformation effectVSAvoidcolor calibration precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent systematically changes key parameters including light color temperature (specific Kelvin values), light intensity, and artwork pigment composition (specific CMYK percentages). By controlling these parameters precisely - such as using lights at 2000K, 4000K, 6000K and artwork with specific color ratios - the invention achieves predictable and impactful color transformations. This parameter control ensures that the interaction between light and artwork produces consistent, desired visual effects rather than random color changes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent incorporates feedback mechanisms where the lighting sequences are programmed based on the known color properties of the artwork. The system uses pre-calibrated information about the artwork's pigment composition to determine the optimal lighting sequences, creating a feedback loop between the artwork's properties and the lighting control. This ensures that the colored lights produce the intended dynamic effects by accounting for how the specific artwork colors will respond to specific light colors.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Illumination intensity

If conventional lighting is used on static artworks, then illumination is provided, but the artworks do not transform into dynamic artworks with simulated movement

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveartwork illuminationVSAvoiddynamic transformation capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses periodic lighting sequences where colored lights are activated in repeating patterns over time. The lights cycle through different colors (e.g., warm white to cool white, or specific colored LEDs) in timed sequences that create rhythmic visual changes on the artwork. This periodic action, with controlled duration and repetition, transforms the static artwork into a dynamic display with simulated movement and temporal variation, as the artwork's appearance changes systematically over time rather than remaining static.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Function Achieved in This Case

This approach allows for the creation of high-quality, low-cost dynamic artworks with minimal technology, reducing environmental impact by using calibrated colored lights to transform static artworks into dynamic ones, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional methods.

Implementation Method 1

All materials have pigments which absorb or reflect light, and determine the colour of the material when lit up. Materials with White pigments reflect back light of all colours. But if the light is red, the material looks Red, since there is no other colour in the light to reflect back

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectLight absorption and reflection: Absorption (EM radiation)

Implementation Method 2

materials with Red pigments, reflect back only Red light, and absorb light of all other colours. So, such Red materials look Red in White light; since White light contains Red light which is reflected back

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectSelective reflection: Reflection

Implementation Method 3

illuminating these static artworks of diverse sizes, using specific lighting sequences and transitions of specifically calibrated colour ranges and shades

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectLight emission: Light
