Layered Lighting Effect Editing for Complex Light Layouts
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional light strings can only produce a single lighting special effect, making it difficult and time-consuming to create complex lighting effects without errors, especially when multiple elements interact, leading to inefficiencies in setting and accuracy issues.
Innovation Solution
A method that breaks down complex lighting effects into multiple sub-special effects, which are edited and synthesized on separate lamp layout layers, allowing for easier control and combination into a complete lighting effect without interference.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a single canvas is used to set complex lighting special effects with multiple elements, then the lighting effect can be displayed, but the setting process becomes error-prone and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides a complex lighting special effect into multiple independent sub-special effects, each edited on a separate canvas. This segmentation allows users to configure each sub-effect independently without interference from others, reducing errors and simplifying the overall setting process while maintaining the ability to create complex composite lighting effects.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a single canvas is used to set complex lighting special effects, then the effect can be displayed, but the setting time increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting the lighting special effect into multiple sub-special effects that can be edited independently on separate canvases, users can work on each component simultaneously or in a more organized sequence, significantly reducing the overall setting time compared to configuring everything on a single canvas.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent allows users to pre-configure sub-special effects on separate canvases before combining them into the final lighting effect. This preliminary action on divided canvases makes the overall configuration process more efficient and manageable.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple elements are set in the same canvas for complex lighting effects, then the effect can be achieved, but elements interfere with each other causing errors
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments multiple lighting effect elements into separate sub-special effects on different canvases, eliminating interference between elements during the configuration process. Each element can be set independently without affecting others, ensuring reliability and stability when the effects are combined and executed.

AI summary
A lighting effect generation method and apparatus, a lighting effect control method and a medium, The lighting effect generation method comprises the following steps: acquiring light-emitting unit layout information of a light, and generating on a drawing interface a plurality of light layout layers; acquiring sub-special effect information respectively generated in the light layout layers by the drawing interface receiving an external editing instruction, synthesizing the multiple pieces of sub-special effect information into lighting special effect information, and packaging the lighting special effect information into a lighting effect control instruction; and transmitting the lighting effect control instruction to a controller of the light so as to control the light to display a lighting special effect defined by the lighting special effect information.
