3D Stage Illumination via Segmented Elevator Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing stage representation systems fail to provide independent up and down movement of multiple illumination devices, leading to limitations in creating three-dimensional effects due to fixed heights and short displacement distances, and often result in devices being unable to descend when one encounters a barrier.
Innovation Solution
A system comprising multiple elevator devices with motors, reels, and up-down motion control, coupled with illumination devices via reel wires and control devices that allow independent wireless operation of both elevator and illumination devices, enabling dynamic three-dimensional object formation by adjusting the length of reel wires and brightness of LEDs.

1Length of moving object
If a one-point suspension displacement elevator section with a short pole is used to move illumination devices, then the displacement distance is limited to a short range, but the device can be miniaturized and arranged using a planar baton for two-dimensional movement
Solution Approach 1:
The elevation baton is divided into multiple independent elevation sections, each capable of moving individual illumination devices vertically. This segmentation allows each section to operate independently, enabling different displacement distances for different devices and achieving true three-dimensional positioning capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The system transitions from two-dimensional movement (planar baton) to three-dimensional movement by adding vertical elevation capability through multiple elevation sections, allowing illumination devices to be positioned at different heights independently.
2Device complexity
If multiple illumination devices are suspended from a single elevation baton, then the system structure is simplified, but one device cannot descend if another encounters a barrier
Solution Approach 1:
The elevation baton is segmented into multiple independent elevation sections, each controlling specific illumination devices. This allows independent operation of each section, so if one device encounters a barrier, other sections can continue to operate without interference.
Solution Approach 2:
Each elevation section acts as an independent intermediary between the elevation baton and the illumination devices it controls, allowing isolated operation and preventing barrier contact from affecting other devices.
3Device complexity
If the height of illumination devices is fixed by the one-point suspension displacement elevator, then the device structure is simplified, but independent up-and-down movement of multiple devices cannot be achieved
Solution Approach 1:
The single elevation baton is divided into multiple elevation sections, each with independent height control capability. This allows each illumination device to be adjusted to different heights independently while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The system transitions from fixed height positioning to dynamic height adjustment by enabling each elevation section to independently change the vertical position of its controlled illumination devices.

AI summary
A three-dimensional stage representation method and system are disclosed, for moving a plurality of illumination devices up and down independently. The method comprises the steps of: identifying a device to be operated from input containing information on length of a reel wire from an elevator device (101,102,103) to an illumination device (104,105,106) and brightness of an LED and generating an indication signal to the device to be operated; transmitting the generated indication signal to the elevator device (101,102,103) if the device to be operated is the elevator device (101,102,103); operating the reel; transmitting the generated indication signal to the illumination device (104,105,106) if the device to be operated is the illumination device (104,105,106); operating the LED; forming a three-dimensional object using all of the LEDs by operating each of the devices; and forming a dynamic three-dimensional object using all of the LEDs by repeating all of the above-mentioned steps.
