NFC Lighting Controller for Immersive Media Positioning
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current media viewing experiences lack dynamic and immersive ambient lighting adjustments that can enhance the sensory perception of viewers during media programs, such as TV shows, movies, or video games, which are not effectively addressed by existing technologies.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for dynamically altering ambient lighting in a viewing environment using a device with a processor and memory to control lighting, paired with a lighting controller, utilizing near-field communications (NFC) or other short-range radio technologies to exchange pairing and position information, allowing for synchronized lighting changes based on the content being displayed.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If dynamic ambient lighting adjustments are implemented to enhance viewing experience, then viewer immersion and engagement are improved, but device complexity and system configuration difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-configuration by automatically detecting position-dependent devices and assigning them to layout positions through unified pairing. The device controller autonomously exchanges pairing information with multiple devices, determines their positions, and configures the lighting system without requiring manual user setup, thereby reducing configuration complexity while maintaining adaptability
Solution Approach 2:
A transfer device acts as an intermediary to facilitate pairing between the device controller and multiple position-dependent devices. The transfer device receives pairing information from the controller and distributes it to individual devices, simplifying the pairing process and reducing the complexity of direct multi-device configuration
2Measurement precision
If multiple position-dependent devices are paired individually through separate processes, then device positioning accuracy is improved, but pairing time and user effort increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system combines multiple individual pairing processes into a single unified pairing operation. The device controller simultaneously exchanges pairing information with multiple position-dependent devices through a transfer device, determining all device positions in one process rather than requiring separate pairing operations for each device, thereby reducing pairing time while maintaining positioning accuracy
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary configuration by pre-defining layout positions and pre-exchanging pairing information for all devices before actual lighting control begins. This preliminary unified pairing process establishes all device positions and relationships in advance, eliminating the need for repeated individual pairing operations and reducing overall configuration time
