Illumination Management Server Matching Rental Status
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current illumination apparatus management systems lack the ability to determine at an early stage whether rented-out illumination apparatuses meet the requirements of potential new customers, affecting utilization rates and rental efficiency.
Innovation Solution
An illumination apparatus management system that includes a server and information communication terminal, where each apparatus transmits its status of use to the server, which then matches the requirements of potential customers based on the status of use, allowing for early determination of suitability for rental.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the management system waits until the rental contract expires to determine availability, then the apparatus is guaranteed to be available for rent, but the utilization rate decreases due to delayed matching with potential customers
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by obtaining and evaluating the status of use (cumulative lighting time, brightness, color temperature) of the illumination apparatus before the rental contract expires. This allows the management server to predict future performance and determine availability in advance, enabling early matching with potential customers and improving utilization rate without waiting for contract expiration.
2Measurement precision
If the management system monitors detailed status parameters continuously, then early determination of suitability becomes possible, but the system complexity and data processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The illumination apparatus extracts and transmits only the essential status parameters (cumulative lighting time, brightness, color temperature) to the management server, rather than continuously monitoring and processing all possible data. This selective extraction enables accurate suitability determination while keeping the system relatively simple and reducing data processing requirements.
3Manufacturing precision
If the system selects apparatuses based on multiple parameters (cumulative lighting time, brightness, color temperature), then the matching accuracy with customer requirements improves, but the selection process becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The management server obtains actual status parameters (cumulative lighting time, brightness, color temperature) from the illumination apparatus and compares them against customer requirements. By using actual measured parameters rather than theoretical specifications, the system achieves high matching accuracy while keeping the selection process straightforward through direct parameter comparison.

AI summary
Illumination apparatus management system includes a plurality of illumination apparatuses, and server. Each of the plurality of illumination apparatuses transmits a status of use of illumination apparatus to server. Server includes: communication unit that obtains the status of use of the illumination apparatus transmitted by each of the plurality of illumination apparatuses, and obtains a requirement from a user; and selector that selects illumination apparatus matching the obtained requirement from among the plurality of illumination apparatuses based on the obtained status of use, and outputs a selection result indicating illumination apparatus that has been selected.
