Light-Emitting Device Identification via Broadcast and Video Matching

The system enables automatic device identification and matching through self-service mechanisms. The terminal device automatically captures lighting videos, performs image recognition to identify light-emitting devices, and matches them with broadcast signals without requiring manual intervention. This automated self-service process resolves the contradiction by eliminating manual identification steps while maintaining accurate device control.

The patent replaces manual mechanical identification operations with automated optical and electronic systems. Instead of manually selecting devices from a list, the system uses camera-based visual capture, image processing algorithms, and automatic signal matching to identify and control devices. This substitution of mechanical manual operations with automated optical-electronic systems directly improves control efficiency and simplifies user interaction.

The terminal device performs multiple functions using a single integrated system: it captures broadcast signals from light-emitting devices, records lighting videos through the camera, processes images to identify devices, and matches signals with visual data. This multi-functional integration reduces the need for separate dedicated devices for each function, thereby improving control efficiency without proportionally increasing overall system complexity.

The patent introduces a lighting video as an intermediary element that bridges the gap between the terminal device and light-emitting devices. The video capture and image processing serve as intermediate steps that automatically identify devices and match them with broadcast signals. This intermediary mechanism automates the identification process, improving efficiency while distributing system complexity across multiple manageable components rather than concentrating it in a single complex module.
