1Stability of the object's composition

If tolerance thresholds are not consistently applied, then light emission consistency across LED groups deteriorates, but implementing strict threshold control increases device complexity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight emission consistencyVSAvoidthreshold control mechanism
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-establishes tolerance thresholds based on configuration values before actual measurement. This preliminary threshold setting allows consistent evaluation of light emission properties without requiring complex real-time adjustment mechanisms, thereby improving stability while managing device complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts threshold values based on configuration parameters such as tolerance levels and measurement conditions. By changing threshold parameters rather than complex control mechanisms, the system achieves consistent light emission evaluation across different LED groups while maintaining manageable device complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Productivity

If multiple light sources are analyzed simultaneously, then productivity increases, but measurement precision for individual sources may deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanalysis throughputVSAvoidindividual source accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system divides the analysis task into independent measurement channels, each capable of simultaneously evaluating different light sources. This segmentation allows multiple sources to be analyzed in parallel while maintaining precise individual measurements through dedicated detection paths, thereby improving productivity without sacrificing precision

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces configuration values and tolerance thresholds as intermediary reference standards that enable simultaneous comparison of multiple light sources. These intermediaries allow precise individual measurements to be maintained while analyzing multiple sources concurrently by providing consistent reference points for evaluation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If tolerance values are dynamically adjusted, then adaptability to different standards improves, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements dynamic tolerance adjustment by allowing configuration values to be modified based on different standards and requirements. This dynamic capability enables adaptation to various light emission standards while maintaining relatively simple adjustment mechanisms through parameter configuration rather than complex reconfiguration systems

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates a universal threshold determination mechanism that can accommodate multiple standards and application requirements through a single flexible framework. By designing the tolerance adjustment mechanism to serve multiple functions across different standards, the system improves adaptability without proportionally increasing device complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
