Human-Factor Lamp Initialization via Beacon Positioning
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional lighting systems in large indoor environments, such as factories or warehouses, fail to adjust lighting effectively based on human presence, leading to unnecessary energy consumption and complex control systems, with no technology capable of synchronously adjusting all lamps according to movement and position, resulting in inefficient energy use and high installation costs.
Innovation Solution
The human-factor lamp system, comprising light emitting devices with control processors, dimming units, identification units, detection units, and communication capabilities, automatically adjusts lighting based on human presence and position through a hierarchical relationship between devices, eliminating the need for a central control system and enabling flexible installation with a mobile initialization method using Beacon host systems and Bluetooth transmission.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of energy
If conventional lamps are used with consistent lighting conditions in large indoor environments, then lighting coverage is uniform, but energy consumption increases unnecessarily when no people are present
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the lighting control into independent segments by equipping each lamp with its own control processor, detection unit, and communication capabilities. Each lamp can independently detect human presence and adjust its own lighting output, eliminating the need for a complex centralized control system while achieving energy savings across the entire lighting network.
Solution Approach 2:
Each lamp is equipped with autonomous capabilities including human presence detection, identity code storage, and automatic lighting adjustment. The lamps self-manage their operation by detecting human presence and adjusting their luminous output accordingly, without requiring external control signals or centralized management, thereby simplifying the overall control system while reducing energy waste.
2Device complexity
If a central control system is used to modulate all lamps consistently, then synchronized control is achieved, but installation costs and system complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The centralized control architecture is segmented into distributed autonomous units. Each lamp contains its own control processor and decision-making logic, eliminating the need for a complex central control system. The lamps communicate through simple identity code exchange and luminous broadcasting, dramatically reducing system complexity and installation costs while maintaining synchronized lighting adjustment across all lamps.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces identity codes and luminous broadcasting as intermediary communication mechanisms between lamps. Instead of requiring complex wired connections or centralized control signals, lamps use these simple optical and data intermediaries to exchange information about human presence and coordinate their lighting output, achieving synchronized control through decentralized communication.
3Ease of operation
If identity codes and relationship lists are pre-written in lamps before installation, then correct positioning is required, but installation becomes difficult in complicated spaces or with large quantities of lamps
Solution Approach 1:
The patent inverts the traditional installation sequence by having lamps install first without pre-configured identity codes, then performing automated identity code assignment after installation. Lamps initially operate with default or temporary identifiers, and the correct identity codes and relationship lists are assigned through automated detection and communication protocols, eliminating the need for precise pre-positioning and manual configuration.
Solution Approach 2:
Each lamp autonomously acquires its identity code and relationship list information through self-service mechanisms after installation. The lamps use their detection units to identify their positions relative to other lamps and automatically receive or generate their identity codes through communication protocols, eliminating the need for manual pre-configuration and reducing installation complexity in large or complicated spaces.
