LED Bulb Control Terminal with Camera Feedback
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users of existing LED light bulb control systems cannot verify if remote operations are successfully executed, as there is no visual feedback or confirmation of the light bulb's adjustments.
Innovation Solution
A terminal with a controller connected to a camera and an LED light bulb, where the controller sends commands to the light bulb and receives image data from the camera to display the light bulb's adjustments, providing real-time visual confirmation of the operations to the user.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a terminal is used to remotely control the LED light bulb, then the user can control the light bulb remotely, but the user cannot verify whether the remote operation is actually executed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a feedback mechanism by using the camera to capture images of the LED light bulb after remote control operations. The terminal sends the captured images back to the user's terminal device, allowing users to visually verify whether the remote operations were successfully executed. This feedback loop resolves the information loss problem while maintaining remote control functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The camera acts as an intermediary device between the remote control system and the user. It captures the state of the LED light bulb and transmits this visual information back to the user, serving as a mediator that provides verification without interfering with the remote control operation itself.
2Device complexity
If no visual feedback is provided, then the system remains simple, but the user cannot confirm operation execution
Solution Approach 1:
The camera-based feedback system provides visual confirmation of operation execution without significantly increasing system complexity. The camera captures images and transmits them through existing communication channels, adding verification capability while maintaining relative system simplicity.

AI summary
A terminal, and a system and method for controlling and displaying an LED light bulb are provided. The terminal includes a first controller and a display module. The first controller is connected to the display module, a camera, and an LED light bulb, respectively. The first controller sends a control command to the LED light bulb to enable the LED light bulb to perform a light-bulb-adjusting operation corresponding to the control command, receive image data of the light-bulb-adjusting operation sent by the camera, and transmit the image data of the light-bulb-adjusting operation to the display module. The display module displays the image data of the light-bulb-adjusting operation and the light-adjusting information carried by the control command to a user. Thus, the terminal acquires the image data of the light-bulb-adjusting operation of the LED light bulb in real-time.
