Event Lamp Battery Blocking Controller for Leasing Compliance
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Event lamps designed for the events sector need to be adaptable between battery-powered and permanently wired operations to meet varying performance requirements and leasing terms, while ensuring that battery-powered operation is restricted to agreed-upon leasing conditions to prevent unauthorized use.
Innovation Solution
An electronic controller with a blocking function for battery-powered operation, accessible via a data connection to external devices, allows the lessor to activate or deactivate battery-powered mode through code input or database status changes, ensuring control over the use of rechargeable batteries.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the event lamp is designed with a rechargeable battery for battery-powered operation, then setup speed and mobility are improved, but the device complexity and leasing rate increase
Solution Approach 1:
The event lamp incorporates a rechargeable battery system that enables dynamic switching between battery-powered and wired operational modes. The battery (20) is integrated into the lamp housing with a controller (10) that manages power sources, allowing the device to adapt its power supply configuration based on operational requirements and leasing terms.
2Illumination intensity
If the event lamp is designed for permanently wired operation, then brightness and performance are improved, but mobility and setup flexibility are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The event lamp is designed as a universal device capable of operating in multiple modes: battery-powered portable mode and permanently wired fixed mode. The lamp housing (100) contains both a rechargeable battery (20) for portable operation and provisions for wired power connection, enabling the same device to fulfill different performance requirements across various event scenarios.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the rechargeable battery function is always accessible, then operational flexibility is improved, but unauthorized use and leasing term violations increase
Solution Approach 1:
The controller (10) receives feedback signals from the blocking function (300) that indicates whether battery-powered operation is permitted under current leasing terms. The controller manages battery access by enabling or disabling battery-powered operation based on this feedback, ensuring that operational flexibility is provided only when authorized by the lessor through the blocking function mechanism.
Solution Approach 2:
The blocking function (300) serves as an intermediary between the rechargeable battery (20) and the lamp's operational systems. This intermediary component controls access to battery-powered operation by blocking or permitting battery supply based on leasing term compliance, preventing unauthorized use while maintaining system functionality.
4Productivity
If the event lamp is leased at higher daily rates for battery-powered operation, then setup cost savings are improved, but the total leasing cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The event lamp enables dynamic selection of power supply mode (battery or wired) based on event duration, location, and leasing terms. The controller (10) manages power source selection to optimize between the higher daily rate of battery-powered operation (which reduces personnel setup costs) and lower-cost wired operation, allowing flexible cost management throughout the leasing period.

AI summary
The invention relates to an electrical mobile event lamp. The object of the invention is to design a mobile electrical event lamp for hiring for events, such that same can be used alternatively for permanently wired and battery-powered operation. According to the invention, this is achieved by integrated rechargeable batteries for power supply and a connection for a wiring of the lamp provided for an alternative power supply, as well as a blocking function implemented in the electronic controller of the lamp for access to the integrated battery implemented in the electronic controller of the lamp, and a data connection for activating or deactivating the blocking function by means of an external data synchronization.
