Shaft Joystick Light Customization via RGB LED Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing shaft joysticks lack customization options for the luminescence function, preventing users from adjusting button colors or LED settings according to their preferences, which limits user experience.
Innovation Solution
A shaft joystick with a light adjustment customization function, featuring LED groups controlled by a light pattern selection button and an LED color selection button, allowing users to customize light patterns and colors for game buttons and the lever, including options for weak, strong, breathing, marquee, and customized patterns, with a power-off memorization module to retain settings.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a factory-set luminescence function is provided, then the shaft joystick becomes more beautiful and enhances game experience, but users cannot customize button colors or LED settings according to their preferences
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by enabling users to adjust multiple parameters of the luminescence function including light color (via RGB LED groups with independent red, green, blue LED chips), light intensity (through PWM dimming control), and light patterns (such as breathing, marquee, and constant illumination modes). The controller modifies these parameters based on user inputs from the adjustment roller and selection buttons, transforming the fixed factory settings into dynamically adjustable parameters that enhance adaptability without significantly increasing device complexity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple LED groups are added for customization, then light adjustment flexibility increases, but the device structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements universality through a multi-functional integrated controller that manages diverse LED groups (first LED groups for game buttons, second LED groups for directional indicators) using a unified control architecture. The controller responds to various user inputs (light pattern selection button, LED color adjustment roller) and executes multiple light patterns (breathing, marquee, constant) through a single device, enabling one component to perform multiple functions and reducing overall system complexity despite the presence of multiple LED groups.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges the control functions for multiple LED groups into a single integrated controller unit. Instead of having separate control circuits for each LED group, the design combines all control logic, signal processing, and pattern generation into one controller that manages both the first LED groups (for button illumination) and second LED groups (for directional indicators) through unified control signals, thereby simplifying the overall device structure while maintaining light adjustment flexibility.
3Ease of operation
If customization options are added, then user experience improves, but the operation interface becomes more complicated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by providing specialized control interfaces for different customization needs: a light pattern selection button for choosing illumination modes and an LED color adjustment roller specifically for color and intensity control. This localized control approach places the appropriate control mechanism near its function, allowing users to adjust light parameters independently without navigating a complex overall interface, thereby maintaining ease of operation despite multiple customization options.
