Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing lamp systems lack the ability to control light sources based on the position of a wireless controller, leading to inconsistent lighting levels across a space, as the light emitted is not directly dependent on the controller's position.
Innovation Solution
A lamp-holding device with a receiver to sense the intensity of electromagnetic signals from a wireless controller, allowing it to control the light source based on the sensed intensity, ensuring the light behavior is dependent on the controller's position, and a system comprising multiple lamp-holding devices that can individually adjust light sources using a single controller by varying distance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If each lamp has its own wireless controller, then the lamp can be controlled independently, but the system complexity increases and the controller position does not directly influence the light emitted
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple lamp-holding devices share a single wireless controller, merging the control function from individual devices to a common controller. The receiver in each lamp-holding device receives electromagnetic signals from the shared controller, enabling centralized control while maintaining individual lamp adjustability based on controller position.
Solution Approach 2:
The electromagnetic signal acts as an intermediary carrier that transmits control information from the wireless controller to multiple lamp-holding devices. The signal intensity serves as the mediator that conveys positional information, allowing the controller's position to influence light output without requiring direct physical connection or complex wiring.
2Ease of operation
If the light source behavior is independent of controller position, then the control system is simpler, but the lighting does not adapt to the user's location in the space
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses the intensity of electromagnetic signals received by each lamp-holding device as feedback about the controller's position. Each device measures signal strength and adjusts light output accordingly, creating a feedback loop where position information automatically translates to appropriate lighting levels without complex control logic.
Solution Approach 2:
Each lamp-holding device autonomously adjusts its light output based on the signal intensity it receives, without requiring central coordination or complex communication between devices. The device serves itself by independently interpreting signal strength and making appropriate lighting adjustments.
3Adaptability or versatility
If environmental light conditions affect the sensed signal, then the system responds to ambient conditions, but the control precision deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The sensor is designed with selective sensitivity to detect only electromagnetic signals within a specific frequency range corresponding to the wireless controller's transmission. This local quality filtering allows the sensor to ignore environmental light conditions while precisely measuring the controller's signal intensity.
