Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If light emitting diode units are arranged according to address code sequence, then lighting sequence accuracy is improved, but manufacturing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by recording the actual arrangement sequence of LED units during manufacturing before the lighting system is deployed. The recording unit captures the sequence in which LED units are arranged, storing this information for later use by the control unit to generate correct lighting commands that match the actual physical arrangement, thereby eliminating the need for precise manual arrangement while ensuring lighting sequence accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback by using the recorded arrangement sequence information to adjust and optimize the lighting control process. The control unit retrieves the recorded sequence and uses it to generate appropriate lighting commands, creating a closed-loop system where the actual arrangement feedbacks into the control mechanism, ensuring that the lighting sequence matches the physical arrangement regardless of how the units were initially positioned.
2Manufacturing precision
If operators manually arrange LED units according to address codes, then lighting sequence accuracy is improved, but time consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies self-service by enabling the system to automatically record and manage its own arrangement sequence without requiring external operator intervention for sequencing. The recording unit autonomously captures the arrangement sequence as LED units are positioned, and the control unit automatically uses this information to generate correct lighting commands, making the system self-configuring and eliminating time-consuming manual arrangement operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary recording of the arrangement sequence during the manufacturing or installation process, capturing this information before the lighting system enters normal operation. This preliminary action stores the arrangement data that will be used by the control unit to generate correct lighting sequences, eliminating the need for time-consuming manual verification and adjustment during deployment.
3Measurement precision
If address codes are used for identifying LED units, then lighting control accuracy is improved, but arrangement error risk increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies copying by creating a digital record (copy) of the actual physical arrangement sequence of LED units. Instead of relying on operators to correctly match address codes with physical positions, the system records the actual sequence in which units are arranged and uses this recorded copy to generate lighting commands. This eliminates arrangement errors while maintaining lighting control accuracy, as the control system adapts to the actual arrangement rather than requiring perfect initial matching.
