Solution Overview

Problem

Existing controlling systems for LED lamps are inefficient in managing multiple types of LED chips, such as single-color-temperature, double-color-temperature, and RGB-type chips, as they lack a module to search and distinguish the specific type and number of chips, making it difficult for users to control brightness and color-temperature effectively.

Innovation Solution

A controlling system with a parameter predetermining module for user input, a searching module to identify the selected type and number of LED chips, an adding module to assign unique parameters, and a system configuration module to set control modes, allowing for seamless integration and operation of various LED chips.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If multiple types of LED chips (single-color-temperature, double-color-temperature, RGB) are assembled into one lamp, then the lighting functionality and color variety are improved, but the control complexity increases significantly making it difficult for users to control brightness and color-temperature

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelighting functionalityVSAvoidcontrol difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs self-identification and self-registration of LED chips. When the power is turned on, each LED chip automatically sends its type information to the controller, which then automatically assigns address values and registers the chips. This eliminates the need for manual configuration and simplifies user operation while supporting multiple chip types.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses parameter differentiation (address values and type identifiers) to distinguish between multiple LED chips of different types. Each chip is assigned unique parameters that allow the controller to identify and control them individually, enabling versatile lighting control without increasing user burden.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Device complexity

If a conventional controller is used to control multiple types of LED chips with different brightness and color-temperature, then the system structure is simple, but the control efficiency deteriorates and color-temperature adjustment becomes difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem structureVSAvoidcontrol efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary registration of LED chip types and assigns address values automatically during initial power-on. This preliminary action stores the chip type information in the controller's memory, enabling efficient subsequent control operations without requiring complex real-time identification processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The controller acts as an intermediary that automatically manages the relationship between the user and multiple LED chips. It handles the complex tasks of identifying chip types, assigning address values, and translating user commands into appropriate control signals for each chip type, thereby improving control efficiency without increasing user complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Device complexity

If no searching module is implemented to identify LED chip types and numbers, then the system structure remains simple, but the ability to assign distinguishable parameters and control individual chips is lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem structureVSAvoidchip type identification
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

Each LED chip automatically provides its type information to the controller through self-identification protocols when powered on. This eliminates the need for manual inventory or complex scanning systems, as the chips themselves convey their identity information passively.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements a feedback mechanism where LED chips send their type information to the controller, which then uses this information to assign appropriate address values and configure control parameters. This feedback loop ensures that the controller has accurate information about each chip without requiring active querying or manual input.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

A controlling system for LED lamps includes a parameter predetermining module, a searching module, an adding module, and a system configuration module. The parameter predetermining module is configured for predetermining the controlling system to control which type of the LED chip is selected and how much the selected type of LED chip has. The searching module is configured for searching the selected type and number of the LED chip which is controlled by the controlling system according to the parameter predetermining module. The adding module is configured for adding the searched LED chip into the controlling system. The system configuration module is configured for setting the controlling mode for the added LED chip of the adding module. The controlling system for LED lamps hides most operation which is executed in background of client and provides some simple button for user, which overcomes the professional and complicated interface of the art.
