Radiation-Range Light Control Through Real-Time Object Detection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing radiography systems require manual switching of lights to determine and adjust the radiation emission range, which is inefficient and lacks remote control capabilities.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus that uses a processor to acquire real-time video and control light turning on/off based on object movements detected in the video to determine the radiation emission range.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If manual switching of lights is used to determine radiation emission range, then the system structure remains simple, but the operation efficiency is low and remote control capability is lacking
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the manual mechanical switching system with an automated optical detection and control system. The light control unit automatically controls the light emitting unit based on detected object positions, eliminating the need for manual switch operations and enabling remote control through camera-based object recognition.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs self-control by automatically determining when to activate or deactivate lights based on detected object positions. The light control unit monitors the environment and autonomously adjusts lighting without requiring manual intervention, making the system serve itself.
2Illumination intensity
If lights are kept on continuously to ensure visibility, then visibility is maintained, but energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic lighting control where the light emitting unit is activated or deactivated based on real-time detection of object positions. Instead of continuous static illumination, the system dynamically adjusts lighting states according to whether objects are present in the radiation emission range, reducing energy consumption while maintaining visibility when needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses feedback from the light control unit that detects object positions to automatically control the light emitting unit. This closed-loop control ensures lights are only on when objects are present and visibility is required, optimizing the balance between illumination and energy consumption.
3Ease of operation
If automatic light control based on object detection is implemented, then remote control capability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The light control unit serves multiple functions: it detects object positions, determines whether objects are in the radiation emission range, controls light emission, and provides remote monitoring capability. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate dedicated components for each function, managing complexity while enhancing operational capabilities.
