Solution Overview

Problem

Existing intelligent control systems, particularly in lighting, face challenges in achieving coordinated and convenient overall adjustment of multiple devices of the same type within a space, often requiring multiple adjustments and pre-configuration, which is inconvenient for end users.

Innovation Solution

An intelligent control method and system that configures controlled devices with spatial feature values, allowing them to send control instructions and messages to other devices with matching feature values, enabling linked control adjustments across devices.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If multiple controlled devices are manually adjusted individually to achieve coordinated control, then control precision is improved, but operation complexity increases and user convenience deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontrol precisionVSAvoiduser convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The controlled devices automatically perform coordinated control actions based on spatial feature value matching. When one device receives a control instruction, it autonomously identifies other devices with matching spatial feature values and executes coordinated control without requiring manual intervention for each device, thereby maintaining control precision while improving user convenience

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The spatial feature value acts as an intermediary identifier that enables automatic device linkage. By using spatial feature values as the matching criterion, the system facilitates coordinated control between devices without requiring direct manual configuration or complex user operations, resolving the contradiction between precise control and ease of operation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Stability of the object's composition

If pre-configuration is performed for coordinated control of multiple devices, then control coordination is improved, but device complexity and setup time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontrol coordinationVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The spatial feature values are pre-configured in each controlled device during system initialization. This preliminary assignment of spatial identifiers enables automatic device matching and coordinated control execution without requiring complex runtime configuration or manual pairing, achieving control coordination while minimizing system complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses spatial feature values as key parameters to identify and group controlled devices. By changing from manual device pairing to automatic matching based on spatial feature parameters, the system achieves coordinated control with reduced complexity and simplified setup procedures

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Ease of operation

If automatic device linkage is implemented through spatial feature values, then operation convenience is improved, but control reliability may deteriorate due to potential matching errors

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperation convenienceVSAvoidcontrol reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements feedback mechanisms where controlled devices verify spatial feature value matching before executing coordinated control actions. This feedback loop ensures that only devices with correct spatial feature value matches respond to control instructions, maintaining control reliability while enabling automatic device linkage and improved operation convenience

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

Provided are an intelligent control method, an intelligent control system and an intelligent lighting system. The intelligent control method includes when a controlled device receives a control instruction for switching a first scene to a second scene, the controlled device responds to the control instruction and queries a spatial feature value of the controlled device; and the controlled device sends a control message comprising the control instruction and the spatial feature value to other controlled devices, and the other controlled devices execute the instruction when the same feature value exists, so that the controlled device is linked to the other controlled devices to achieve overall control.
