Remote Control Dual Power Modes for Lighting Programming
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current lighting control systems face challenges in programming multiple systems simultaneously without inadvertently affecting neighboring systems, leading to increased complexity and costs due to the need for additional equipment and higher power levels.
Innovation Solution
A remote control device with two operation modes, one for higher power control and another for lower power programming, ensures that only the intended lighting control system is programmed by using distinct power levels, eliminating the need for system modifications or additional equipment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If higher power level is used for remote control signals, then control reliability is improved, but accidental programming of neighboring systems occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by making the transmission power level dependent on the operational context: high power level is used during normal control operations to ensure reliable signal transmission, while low power level is used during programming operations to prevent accidental programming of neighboring systems. The remote control device automatically selects the appropriate power level based on the detected operation type, thereby resolving the contradiction between control reliability and prevention of harmful effects.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If lower power level is used for remote control signals, then accidental programming of neighboring systems is prevented, but control reliability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the transmission power level variable rather than fixed. The remote control device dynamically adjusts the power level based on the operational mode: using low power level during programming to prevent harmful effects, and switching to high power level during normal control to ensure reliability. This dynamic adaptation resolves the contradiction by allowing the system to optimize power levels according to real-time operational requirements.
3Manufacturing precision
If additional equipment is added to prevent accidental programming, then programming accuracy is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies self-service by enabling the remote control device to automatically determine the appropriate transmission power level based on the detected operation type without requiring external intervention or additional equipment. The device itself possesses the intelligence to switch between high and low power modes, thereby achieving accurate programming prevention while maintaining system simplicity and avoiding increased device complexity.
