Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If the level of dynamics is reduced by reducing all lighting parameters, then the brightness difference and rate of change are reduced, but the light effects become uninteresting and fail to provide added value to the media content
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by differentiating the treatment of lighting parameters based on their type. Instead of uniformly reducing all parameters when dynamics level is reduced, the invention selectively reduces brightness parameters while maintaining or increasing color parameters. This localized differentiation ensures that brightness-based dynamics are reduced while color-based engagement is preserved or enhanced, resolving the contradiction between reduced brightness difference and maintained light effect quality.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements parameter changes by dynamically adjusting different lighting parameters based on the desired dynamics level. When a reduced dynamics level is selected, the system reduces brightness parameters (intensity, beam angle) while simultaneously increasing color parameters (color difference, saturation). This parameter transformation allows the system to achieve reduced brightness dynamics while maintaining engaging light effects through enhanced color variations.
