Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic lighting by continuously varying illumination intensity and color temperature within specific ranges (illumination: 50-10000lux, color temperature: 2000-10000K) at controlled change rates (≤0.02 lux/0.1s), transforming the static lighting system into a dynamic one that adapts over time to prevent visual fatigue while maintaining user comfort

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes multiple lighting parameters simultaneously including illumination intensity, color temperature, and spectral composition, with each parameter varying within defined ranges and rates to create a comprehensive dynamic lighting effect that addresses visual fatigue through multi-dimensional parameter modulation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Object-affected harmful factors

If lighting parameters are dynamically adjusted frequently, then visual fatigue is reduced, but user perception of light change increases which may interfere with usage

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies partial action by implementing dynamic lighting adjustments that are sufficient to prevent visual fatigue but deliberately limited in magnitude (change rate ≤0.02 lux/0.1s) to remain below human perception thresholds, achieving the minimum necessary effect without excessive visibility of changes

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:

The system maintains continuous dynamic adjustment of lighting parameters over extended periods, ensuring the anti-fatigue effect persists throughout usage without interruption, while the controlled change rates ensure continuity remains imperceptible to users, creating seamless operation
