Smart Light Color Identification for Multi-Device Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
When multiple smart lights are turned on simultaneously, existing systems face inefficiencies in controlling them due to the inability to display distinct control options, requiring users to manually identify each light, leading to low operational efficiency.
Innovation Solution
Incorporating a method where each smart light broadcasts its unique light color information in device open notifications, allowing the terminal to differentiate and display specific control options based on these colors, enabling direct selection and control of individual smart lights.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple smart lights are turned on simultaneously and broadcast device open notifications with only device type information, then the terminal can receive notifications from all lights, but the terminal cannot display distinct control options for each light, requiring users to manually identify each light one by one
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies color information as a distinctive identifier for each smart light. When a smart light is turned on, it determines its light color information and includes this information in the device open notification broadcast. The terminal receives the notification and displays control options with the corresponding light color information, enabling users to quickly identify and select the desired smart light based on its color rather than manually checking each device. This resolves the contradiction by maintaining versatility to control multiple lights while dramatically improving operational ease through visual color differentiation.
2Device complexity
If device open notification carries only device type information, then the notification format is simple and universal, but multiple smart lights of the same type cannot be distinguished from each other
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enhances the notification format by incorporating light color information alongside the device type. The smart light determines its current light color information when turned on and includes this additional attribute in the device open notification. The terminal preserves the simple universal structure of the notification while adding the color attribute that enables differentiation. This resolves the contradiction by maintaining format simplicity and universality while preventing information loss about individual light identity through the added color descriptor.
