Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional illumination devices are installed in different spaces, then the device structure remains simple and universal, but the illumination effect becomes inconsistent across different environments
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary measurement of space information (dimensions, shape, installation position) before generating control signals. The information obtainer collects spatial data in advance, and the information processor pre-calculates optimized control information based on the measured space characteristics, ensuring consistent illumination effects across different environments without requiring complex real-time adjustments
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an information processor as an intermediary between the illumination device and the control system. This processor acts as a mediator that receives space information, analyzes installation conditions, and generates optimized control information that adapts the illumination output to match the specific spatial characteristics, thereby achieving illumination consistency without direct modification of the physical device structure
2Reliability
If the illumination device uses fixed control signals, then the control system remains simple, but the desired illumination cannot be achieved in varying environmental conditions
Solution Approach 1:
The system transitions from fixed control signals to dynamic control information that adapts to different installation conditions. The information processor dynamically generates control signals based on measured space information and installation position, allowing the illumination device to reliably achieve desired illumination effects across varying environmental conditions while maintaining relatively simple device structure
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameters of control information based on space information and installation conditions. The information processor adjusts control parameters (such as light intensity, timing, or pattern) according to the measured spatial characteristics, ensuring reliable illumination effects without requiring complex hardware modifications to the illumination device itself
