Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing lighting systems in performance venues struggle to collectively control multiple light emitting devices, leading to difficulties in creating systematic lighting patterns and effective cheering effects due to limitations in wireless bandwidth and individual device control.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that determine the coordinates of receiving devices based on seat information, process object data, and emit light according to predefined shapes and colors, using a lighting control system to synchronize light emission across multiple devices based on an object origin, allowing for coordinated lighting effects without grouping devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a plurality of light emitting devices are individually controlled, then each device can be independently adjusted, but it is difficult to create a systematic lighting pattern or shape
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses a pre-stored direction shape template that is copied and applied to multiple light emitting devices. The control packet includes object information indicating a direction shape, which is stored in advance in the receiving devices. This allows systematic patterns to be easily replicated across multiple devices without complex individual programming for each device.
Solution Approach 2:
The direction shape and expression levels are predetermined and stored in the receiving devices before the actual lighting performance. The object data including predefined direction shape and at least one expression level set to correspond to a size of the direction shape is received and stored in advance, enabling quick deployment of systematic lighting patterns during events.
2Illumination intensity
If light emitting devices are controlled in performance environments, then lighting effects can be created, but it is difficult to achieve an effective cheering effect only by using a light source arranged in a light emitting device
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple light emitting devices into a coordinated system that works together to create comprehensive lighting effects. By synchronizing multiple devices with the same direction shape and color information, the system achieves enhanced cheering effects that are more impactful than individual devices alone.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces spatial dimensionality by using direction shapes that indicate specific orientations and positions. The object origin and direction shape create a spatial reference system that allows lighting effects to be directed toward specific areas or objects in the performance venue, adding directional control beyond simple illumination.
3Speed
If control data is broadcast to a plurality of light emitting devices at the same time, then simultaneous control is achieved, but there is a limitation of usable wireless bandwidth due to data processing time
Solution Approach 1:
The receiving devices pre-store direction shape templates and object data before receiving control packets. This preliminary preparation reduces the processing time required when control data is broadcast, as the devices only need to apply the pre-stored templates rather than generating them in real-time, thereby improving wireless bandwidth utilization.
Solution Approach 2:
Each receiving device independently processes and applies the control information based on its own pre-stored direction shape data. This self-service approach eliminates the need for centralized processing and reduces communication overhead, allowing simultaneous control of multiple devices with minimal bandwidth consumption.

AI summary
Disclosed is a lighting effect directing method of a receiving device. The lighting effect directing method of a receiving device includes determining coordinates of the receiving device at a seat based on seat information thus received, receiving and storing object data including a predefined direction shape and at least one expression level set to correspond to a size of the direction shape, and predefined color data, receiving a control packet including object information indicating the direction shape, an object origin of the direction shape, and the at least one expression level, and color information indicating a light emission color, determining a location relationship between the object origin and the determined coordinates of the receiving device, based on the object information, and performing a corresponding light emission operation such that the direction shape is expressed at the at least one expression level, based on the location relationship and the color information.
