Multi-Fixture Lighting Parameter Configuration and Address Setting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional methods for configuring parameters in large-scale stage lighting fixtures are time-consuming due to the need for individual assignment and setup of each fixture, which is inefficient and labor-intensive.
Innovation Solution
A smart device with a casing body and accommodating cavities for multiple fixtures, equipped with a control module and communication modules, allows simultaneous control and configuration of lighting parameters across multiple fixtures.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If individual configuration method is used for each lighting fixture, then each fixture can be precisely controlled and configured, but the configuration time and labor intensity increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple lighting fixtures into a single group that can be configured simultaneously through one smart device. The control module sends configuration instructions to multiple fixtures at once, combining what were previously separate individual configuration operations into a single unified operation, thereby dramatically reducing configuration time and labor intensity.
Solution Approach 2:
The smart device is designed with universal functionality to control multiple different types of lighting fixtures through a single interface. The control module can configure various parameters (color temperature, light color, brightness) for multiple fixtures simultaneously, making the device multi-functional rather than requiring separate controllers for each fixture.
2Reliability
If individual configuration method is used for each lighting fixture, then precise control over each fixture is achieved, but labor intensity becomes excessive
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple control operations into a single unified configuration process. The control module maintains the ability to precisely control each individual fixture while allowing operators to configure multiple fixtures through a single set of instructions, thereby maintaining control precision while dramatically reducing operation complexity and labor intensity.
Solution Approach 2:
The smart device acts as an intermediary between the operator and multiple lighting fixtures. It receives configuration instructions and distributes them to individual fixtures, maintaining precise control over each fixture while shielding the operator from the complexity of individual configuration tasks. The communication module facilitates this intermediary function by managing data transmission between the smart device and multiple fixtures.
3Adaptability or versatility
If conventional individual setup method is used, then each fixture can be independently configured, but the overall setup efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple independent configuration operations into a single simultaneous operation. The control module can configure multiple fixtures at the same time while preserving the ability to independently adjust each fixture's parameters, thereby maintaining adaptability while significantly improving setup efficiency and productivity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adapts between individual and group configuration modes. The control module can send configuration instructions to multiple fixtures simultaneously or individually based on operational needs, providing dynamic flexibility that maintains independent configuration capability while optimizing setup efficiency through batch processing when appropriate.

AI summary
The application discloses smart device and a parameter configuration system. The smart device is used for configuring parameters for multiple lighting fixtures and comprises a casing body having an accommodating space, an accommodating part is arranged in the accommodating space and is arranged with one or more accommodating cavities for accommodating the lighting fixtures; and a control module including a control board for controlling the lighting fixtures. The smart device can control the multiple lighting fixtures and perform parameter configuration for the lighting fixtures through the control module concurrently, and particularly can perform address setting for the lighting fixtures simultaneously, so as to solve the problem of prior arts that parameters can only be set individually for each lighting fixture.
