Mesh Network Lighting Control System Adaptive Registration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing control systems for mesh networks of lighting devices require users to perform unnecessary operations when registering devices, especially when map information is not available, leading to increased registration time and complexity.
Innovation Solution
A control system comprising an obtainer, receiver, and processing unit that obtains map information and adjusts the registration image display based on its availability, allowing for appropriate and efficient registration processing by switching between map and list-based registration images.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a unified registration image is displayed regardless of map information availability, then the system maintains consistent operation flow, but the user must perform unnecessary operations when map information is absent, increasing registration time and complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The registration image display is made dynamic by detecting whether map information is obtained and automatically switching between map-based registration image and list-based registration image. This allows the system to adapt its presentation mode based on the availability of spatial information, eliminating unnecessary operations while maintaining reliable operation flow through consistent adaptive behavior.
2Ease of operation
If map-based registration image is always displayed, then spatial arrangement visualization is improved, but the system requires map information that may not be available, increasing device complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies local quality by providing different registration image types based on local conditions (availability of map information). When map information is available, a map-based registration image with spatial arrangement visualization is displayed. When map information is unavailable, a list-based registration image is displayed instead. This ensures optimal user experience for each local condition without requiring map information in all cases.
Solution Approach 2:
The registration system is designed with multi-functionality to handle both map-based and list-based registration modes. The control device can universally support both registration approaches, switching between them based on map information availability. This universal design allows the system to provide spatial arrangement visualization when possible while maintaining functionality when map information is absent, without increasing fundamental device complexity.
3Productivity
If list-based registration image is used when map information is unavailable, then unnecessary operations are eliminated, but spatial arrangement visualization capability is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically selects the appropriate registration image type based on map information availability. When map information is available, it switches to map-based registration image that provides spatial arrangement visualization. When map information is unavailable, it switches to list-based registration image that eliminates unnecessary operations. This dynamic adaptation optimizes both productivity and ease of operation based on current system state.

AI summary
A control system (information terminal (30)) includes an obtainer (36), a receiver (31), and a processing unit (34). The obtainer (36) obtains map information indicating an area where each of at least one device (20) (light fixture (20)) is disposed. The receiver (31) receives input of setting for each of the at least one device (20). The processing unit (34) performs registration processing for registering each of the at least one device (20) with a network (mesh network), in response to the input received by the receiver (31). Depending on whether obtainer 36 has obtained the map information, the processing unit (34) changes presentation of a registration image displayed on a display (32) for the registration processing.
