Solution Overview

Problem

Existing smart devices face issues with inaccurate control due to their fixed detection ranges, leading to erroneous activation of devices outside the intended area.

Innovation Solution

A device control method that includes configuring custom monitoring regions based on the current position of a target within a sensing device's detection area, allowing for refined automation configurations and precise device control.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of stationary object

If a sensor's detection area is fixed to cover a large space, then the coverage area is improved, but control precision deteriorates due to erroneous activation of devices outside the intended area

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection areaVSAvoidcontrol precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the fixed detection area into multiple configurable monitoring regions (e.g., first monitoring region, second monitoring region, third monitoring region) based on actual usage scenarios. Each region can be independently configured and controlled, allowing the system to activate only the specific region where a target is detected rather than the entire detection area. This segmentation resolves the contradiction by maintaining large coverage while achieving precise control through region-specific activation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Measurement precision

If the monitoring region is divided into multiple custom areas, then control precision is improved, but device complexity increases due to region configuration and management

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontrol precisionVSAvoidregion configuration
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically determines the status of each monitoring region based on target detection results without requiring manual intervention for each region's configuration and monitoring. The sensing device autonomously identifies which monitoring region contains the target and triggers the corresponding controlled device, eliminating the need for complex manual region management while maintaining high control precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
