Lighting Controller Adapting Brightness via User Feedback
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users struggle to determine and adjust lighting control settings that meet their preferences, as existing systems lack feedback mechanisms for fine-tuning lighting conditions such as brightness and color, leading to suboptimal wake-up and sleep experiences.
Innovation Solution
A lighting system with a controller and setter that allows users to input subjective feedback on initial lighting settings, enabling the system to modify and adjust lighting parameters such as brightness and color to better match user preferences through a series of iterative adjustments.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the lighting device operates according to predetermined control content, then the lighting can be automatically controlled to meet general user preferences, but the control content cannot be finely adjusted to match individual user preferences
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where users input subjective information about their experience with the lighting control content. The controller receives this feedback and automatically modifies the control content based on the user's preferences, enabling the system to adapt without requiring users to manually adjust technical parameters.
Solution Approach 2:
The lighting system performs self-adjustment by automatically modifying control content based on user feedback. Instead of requiring users to manually tune lighting parameters, the system autonomously optimizes the control content to match individual user preferences, making the process simple and user-friendly.
2Measurement precision
If users manually adjust lighting parameters to meet preferences, then precise control can be achieved, but the operation becomes complex and difficult for average users
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces subjective information as an intermediary between the user and the lighting control system. Instead of directly adjusting technical parameters like brightness and color temperature, users provide feedback through subjective information, which the controller translates into precise control content modifications, bridging the gap between user intent and technical adjustment.
Solution Approach 2:
The controller automatically changes lighting parameters (brightness, color temperature, timing) based on user feedback. This transforms the complex task of manual parameter adjustment into a simple feedback-providing process, maintaining precision while simplifying operation.
3Ease of operation
If the lighting system uses fixed control content, then the system is simple to operate, but it cannot adapt to individual user preferences and experiences
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the lighting control system from a static, fixed-content system to a dynamic one that automatically adapts based on user feedback. The control content is no longer predetermined and immutable but evolves over time to match individual user preferences, maintaining simplicity while gaining adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
By implementing a feedback loop where users submit subjective information about their lighting experiences, the system continuously refines and adapts control content. This enables the simple system to become increasingly tailored to individual preferences without increasing operational complexity.

AI summary
A lighting apparatus includes: a lighting device; and a controller which receives from a lighting setter, an instruction for causing the lighting device to operate in a predetermined mode, causes the lighting device to operate in the predetermined mode according to first control content, and subsequently receiving the instruction, causes the lighting device to operate in the predetermined mode according to second control content which is modified from the first control content based on first subjective information input to the lighting setter, the first subjective information indicating feedback of a user on the first control content.
