Seat-Mapped Wireless Lighting Control for Synchronized Crowd Patterns
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing lighting devices are not capable of creating systematic lighting patterns or desired cheering effects in environments with specific illuminance, such as sports matches and concerts, due to individual control of multiple devices.
Innovation Solution
A wireless lighting control system that remotely controls multiple lighting devices as groups, using smart devices to map seat information and control lighting patterns through control pattern information, allowing for synchronized lighting effects.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple lighting devices are individually controlled, then each device can operate independently, but systematic lighting patterns cannot be created
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple lighting devices into groups that can be controlled collectively through a master device. Slave lighting devices receive control signals from the master device, enabling synchronized operation and systematic lighting patterns while reducing the complexity of individual control for each device.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the control system into a master device and slave lighting devices. The master device handles high-level control decisions and pattern generation, while slave devices execute specific control commands, creating a hierarchical structure that simplifies overall system management.
2Adaptability or versatility
If only light sources in lighting devices are used, then lighting function is provided, but desired cheering effects cannot be produced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes lighting devices multi-functional by enabling them to serve both as lighting sources and as cheering tools. Through group control and synchronized operation, the same lighting devices can create various lighting patterns and cheering effects without requiring separate dedicated devices.
3Manufacturing precision
If lighting devices are controlled without mapping to seat information, then control is simplified, but synchronized lighting patterns based on audience position cannot be created
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a server as an intermediary that handles the complex mapping between seat information and lighting device positions. The server processes mapping requests from smart devices and provides control pattern information to the master device, eliminating the need for direct complex mapping logic in the lighting devices themselves.

AI summary
Prior to the concert, a lighting device used as a cheering tool at a concert is connected to a smart device held by an audience member attending the concert, based on a mapping request signal requested by the smart device to a server prior to the concert, the server maps the lighting device, which is used as the cheering tool, with seat information of the audience member in a concert venue, during the concert, the lighting device receives, from a master device, control pattern information being based on data mapped with the seat information of the audience member in the concert venue, the lighting device controls lighting by controlling a driving current of a light source based on the control pattern information. Wherein a specific shape is produced on seats of audience members by a plurality of slave lighting devices arranged in the concert venue.
