Solution Overview

Problem

Users face inconvenience in configuring preferences for dynamic light scenes, especially when they start automatically with entertainment content, as they need to navigate through cumbersome app settings to adjust dynamics, which diverts their attention from the experience.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device with a processor that identifies dynamic light scenes and determines target settings based on current, previous, and planned light settings, allowing for automatic adjustment and rendering without requiring user configuration, thereby simplifying the process and enhancing the user experience.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If users manually configure preferences for dynamic light scenes through app settings, then the light scene rendering can be customized to user preferences, but the operation becomes cumbersome and diverts user attention from the entertainment experience

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of configurationVSAvoidtime to configure settings
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically determines target light settings by analyzing current, previous, and planned light settings without requiring user intervention. The processor infers user preferences from the light setting data and autonomously configures the dynamic light scene parameters, allowing the system to serve itself rather than requiring manual user configuration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system utilizes feedback from multiple light setting states (current, previous, and planned) to dynamically adjust and determine target settings. By continuously monitoring and analyzing these feedback signals from the lighting system, the processor can infer user preferences and automatically optimize the dynamic light scene configuration without manual intervention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Productivity

If dynamic light scenes start automatically with entertainment content, then the user experience is enhanced by immediate immersion, but the user cannot adjust preferences before the scene starts

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespeed of scene activationVSAvoidability to adjust preferences
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary analysis of light setting data (current, previous, and planned settings) before the dynamic light scene starts. By pre-determining the target settings based on this preliminary action, the system is able to automatically configure the optimal light scene configuration in advance, ready for immediate activation without requiring user intervention during the start-up moment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The processor autonomously determines target light settings by analyzing available light setting data and inferring user preferences, allowing the system to self-configure before automatic activation. This self-service capability enables the system to be both immediately activatable and adaptable to user preferences without requiring manual configuration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Measurement precision

If the system analyzes current, previous, and planned light settings to determine target settings, then automatic configuration accuracy is improved, but the processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of preference detectionVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The processor performs multiple functions using the same light setting data analysis mechanism: it identifies user preferences, determines target light settings, and adapts dynamic scene parameters. By making the processing system universal and multi-functional, the patent handles the complexity of analyzing multiple light setting states without requiring separate dedicated systems for each function, thus managing processing complexity while maintaining high accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

An electronic device is configured to identify a dynamic light scene (81) to be rendered, determine one or more current, previous and/or planned light settings (91, 92) for one or more lights (22, 23), determine a target dynamic light scene (83) based on said identified dynamic light scene and said one or more light settings, and render said target dynamic light scene on at least one light (22, 23).
