Solution Overview
Problem
The existing lighting systems require significant assembly and parameterization effort due to the need for individual adjustment and setting of multiple lighting units in a common or adjacent space, leading to increased costs and time consumption.
Innovation Solution

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If individual setting and parameterization is performed for each lighting unit, then the lighting system can be properly configured for specific installation conditions, but the assembly and setup time increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary parameterization by automatically copying detection parameters and lighting mode parameters from a first lighting unit to other lighting units. This preliminary action eliminates the need for individual manual configuration of each unit, significantly reducing assembly and setup time while ensuring proper configuration through automatic parameter transfer.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention implements a copying mechanism where parameter data from a first lighting unit is automatically transmitted to and copied in other lighting units via parameter communication means. This copying approach ensures consistent configuration across multiple units without requiring repetitive manual setting, thereby reducing time loss while maintaining configuration reliability.
2Area of stationary object
If multiple lighting units are installed in a common space with comparable environmental conditions, then the system coverage is improved, but the parameterization effort is duplicated across units
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges the parameterization process by enabling automatic transmission of detection parameters and lighting mode parameters from one lighting unit to others. This combining approach eliminates duplicated parameterization efforts across multiple units installed in common spaces, reducing overall device complexity while maintaining expanded coverage area.
Solution Approach 2:
The lighting units are designed with universal parameter communication capabilities, allowing a single unit's configuration to be automatically applied to multiple units. This multi-functionality enables the system to handle expanded coverage areas without proportionally increasing parameterization effort, as the same parameter set can be universally applied across multiple units.
3Manufacturing precision
If detection parameters and lighting mode parameters are manually adjusted for each unit, then the system can be precisely tailored to installation conditions, but the costs increase due to significant assembly work
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary automatic parameter transfer before final installation completion. By pre-configuring detection parameters and lighting mode parameters through automatic communication between units, the need for costly manual adjustment of each unit is eliminated, thereby maintaining parameter precision while significantly reducing assembly costs.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention uses automatic copying of parameter data from a first lighting unit to other units via parameter communication means. This copying mechanism ensures precise parameter configuration is achieved consistently across all units without requiring repetitive manual adjustment, thereby maintaining manufacturing precision while reducing ease of manufacture costs.
