Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If light emitters and electrodes are randomly disposed instead of at predetermined positions, then flexibility and adaptability of the display system is improved, but the ease of operation for controlling light emission deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically detecting the positions of randomly disposed light emitters and pre-establishing the correspondence between control signals and emitter positions. This preliminary detection and mapping process enables subsequent easy control despite the random arrangement, resolving the contradiction by automating the setup phase.
Solution Approach 2:
The system employs self-service mechanisms where the control device automatically detects light emitter positions and establishes signal-position mappings without requiring manual configuration. This self-configuration capability maintains ease of operation while accommodating flexible, random placements of light emitters.
2Adaptability or versatility
If light emitters are randomly disposed without predetermined positions, then adaptability of the system is improved, but the complexity of the control system increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces complex manual configuration mechanisms with automated detection and identification systems. By using imaging devices to capture light emitter positions and automatically establishing correspondences with control signals, the system achieves adaptability to random placements without proportionally increasing control complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The control device is designed with universal functionality to handle both regularly and randomly disposed light emitters through a single automated detection and mapping process. This multi-functional approach accommodates various placement patterns without requiring separate control mechanisms for each scenario.
3Adaptability or versatility
If manual configuration methods are used for randomly disposed light emitters, then adaptability is improved, but the time required for setup and configuration increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system employs feedback mechanisms where the imaging device captures the actual positions of light emitters, and this information is fed back to the control device to automatically update the signal-position mappings. This closed-loop feedback process enables rapid adaptation to random placements without time-consuming manual configuration.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary automatic detection and mapping of light emitter positions during the setup phase, capturing images and establishing correspondences before actual display operations begin. This preliminary automation significantly reduces the time required compared to manual configuration methods.

AI summary
The present invention provides a method of setting light emission control of each light emission tool in an area more easily. The method of setting light emission control of each light emission tool in an area of the present invention includes: a light emitting step of transmitting a freely-selected ID signal (Sn) to a plurality of light emission tools that are randomly disposed in an area and emit light in response to receipt of corresponding ID signals to cause a light emission tool (En) that has received the ID signal (Sn) to emit light; an imaging step of acquiring a light emission image (En) of the area after the ID signal (Sn) has been transmitted; a determining step of determining a position of the light emission tool (En) that emitted light in response to receipt of the ID signal (Sn) in the area based on the light emission image (En); and a storing step of storing the position of the light emission tool (En) in the area and the corresponding ID signal (Sn) in association with each other.
