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 installation challenges due to the lack of synchronized lamp adjustments and accurate positioning.
Innovation Solution
The human-factor lamp system, equipped with light emitting devices that include control processors, dimming units, identification units, detection units, and communication capabilities, adjusts lighting based on the position and movement of people through a hierarchical relationship list and identity codes, allowing for decentralized control and flexible installation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of energy
If conventional lamps are used with consistent lighting conditions in large indoor environments, then the lighting system is simple to install and operate, but energy consumption increases unnecessarily when no people are present
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the lighting control into independent lamp units, each equipped with its own detection unit, control processor, and communication module. Each lamp can independently detect human presence and adjust its lighting output, eliminating the need for a complex centralized control system while reducing energy consumption through decentralized intelligence.
Solution Approach 2:
Each lamp is equipped with human presence detection capabilities and autonomous control processing, allowing it to automatically adjust its own lighting output based on detected human presence. This self-service capability eliminates the need for external control systems and reduces energy waste without adding system complexity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If sensors are provided to sense entry and exit of people and turn lamps on/off independently, then energy saving is achieved, but synchronized adjustment of all lamps according to person movement cannot be realized
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines detection units, control processors, and communication modules into integrated lamp units that can both independently detect human presence and communicate with each other. This merging enables synchronized lighting adjustment across all lamps while maintaining relatively simple device architecture through modular integration.
Solution Approach 2:
Each lamp unit detects human presence locally and communicates this information to neighboring lamps through its communication module. This feedback mechanism enables coordinated lighting adjustments across the entire lighting system, with each lamp responding to human movement in a synchronized manner based on shared detection data.
3Ease of operation
If a central control system is used for consistent modulation of lamps, then synchronized lighting control is achieved, but additional network setup cost and control difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the control functionality into distributed units within each lamp, eliminating the need for a centralized control system. Each lamp contains its own control processor that can independently make lighting decisions based on local detection, greatly simplifying the overall system architecture and reducing network setup requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The communication modules in each lamp serve as intermediaries that enable direct peer-to-peer coordination between lamp units without requiring a central controller. This intermediary capability allows lamps to exchange detection information and coordinate their lighting output simplistically through local communication protocols.
4Ease of manufacture
If identity codes and relationship lists are pre-written during initialization, then lamp identification and positioning are standardized, but installation becomes difficult in complicated spaces or with large quantities of lamps
Solution Approach 1:
The patent inverts the traditional initialization sequence by first installing all lamps in their final positions, then performing the identity code assignment and relationship list creation afterward. This reversal eliminates the need for precise pre-positioning during installation, allowing installers to simply mount lamps and complete the智能化 configuration later through automated detection and coding processes.

AI summary
In an initialization method of human-factor lamps capable of intelligently adjusting ambient light, each light emitting device with a Bluetooth transmission function has its corresponding Bluetooth address, and a specialist carries a mobile device with the Bluetooth transmission function to move to the position of each of the light emitting devices. If a detection unit of the light emitting device detects the specialist, an active state will be shown, and the mobile device will select and display the active state and the light emitting device within the Bluetooth detection range, and then the light emitting device corresponding to the active state will show a luminous change, and the specialist can confirm the correct position of the light emitting device by the luminous change and use the pre-set relationship list to confirm the light emitting device and write the corresponding identity code into the light emitting device to complete an initialization.
