Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional public communication systems face delays in information delivery and lack real-time sharing capabilities, especially for critical information, due to limited access to communication channels, and fail to target specific audiences effectively.

Innovation Solution

A method utilizing a lighthouse server that processes social media inputs and event data to create synchronized public and private display messages, broadcasting public information visibly and private information hyperspectrally, allowing real-time communication without requiring conventional channels.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of time

If conventional communication channels are used for information delivery, then information can be shared with the audience, but real-time sharing is delayed and access requires communication devices and channels

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation delivery delayVSAvoidaccess to communication channels
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces conventional electronic communication channels with optical signaling through a lighthouse structure. The lighthouse transmits information via light patterns (flashing sequences, color changes) that can be observed directly by the human eye or simple optical devices, eliminating the need for smartphones, internet connections, or traditional communication infrastructure. This substitution achieves real-time information delivery without requiring complex communication devices.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates visual copies of social media content and event information by displaying them as light patterns on the lighthouse structure. The information from digital sources is transformed into optical signals that can be perceived directly, providing real-time visualization of public opinion and critical information without requiring audiences to access original digital platforms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Adaptability or versatility

If public communication channels are used for information distribution, then information is widely accessible, but targeted delivery to specific audiences cannot be achieved

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetargeted audience deliveryVSAvoidprivileged information accessibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements different information layers with distinct accessibility characteristics. The lighthouse structure simultaneously transmits public information through visible light patterns that anyone can observe, and privileged information through encoded signals accessible only to subscribed users with specific decoding capabilities. This local quality differentiation enables targeted delivery while maintaining broad public access to general information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The communication system segments information into multiple layers: public information layer accessible to all spectators and privileged information layer accessible only to subscribed users. The lighthouse structure transmits both layers simultaneously through different encoding schemes, allowing the same physical structure to serve multiple audience segments with different information needs and access rights.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Productivity

If social media input is used for public display, then real-time public opinion can be shared, but time zone synchronization issues arise

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereal-time public opinion sharingVSAvoidtime zone synchronization
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms social media content into temporal and spatial parameters suitable for optical transmission. The system converts text-based social media inputs into timed light patterns, where information timing is adjusted to account for time zone differences. The lighthouse structure displays synchronized information by transforming the temporal parameters of social media content into a universal visual time reference that can be observed simultaneously by global audiences regardless of their local time zones.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
