Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If intelligent light sensing control is used to automatically turn on/off the lamp based on ambient light levels, then the lamp can respond to natural lighting conditions, but it becomes affected by other light sources at night causing incorrect operation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight sensing controlVSAvoidcontrol accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The control system is segmented into distinct functional blocks: voltage sensing function block for detecting solar panel voltage levels and timing function block for tracking sunlight movement. Each block operates independently with assigned control priorities, avoiding the interference problem of unified light sensing control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a priority determination mechanism as an intermediary between the voltage sensing block and timing block. This mediator assigns control priorities based on working states, mediating the conflict between light sensing reliability and timing accuracy during nighttime operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Illumination intensity

If the lamp operates continuously throughout the night based on light sensing, then lighting coverage is maintained, but energy consumption increases reducing solar-powered endurance

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelighting coverageVSAvoidenergy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The timing function block implements periodic operation by tracking sunlight movement and controlling the lamp to operate during specific time windows when sunlight is available for charging, rather than continuous nighttime operation. This periodic action optimizes the balance between lighting coverage and energy conservation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The control system dynamically adjusts the lamp's operating schedule based on real-time voltage sensing results and timing block calculations. The operating parameters change dynamically according to solar charging status and predicted sunlight availability, optimizing energy usage while maintaining necessary lighting coverage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Stability of the object's composition

If the lamp operates in preset current varying manner for extended duration, then lighting consistency is maintained, but energy depletes faster reducing operational endurance

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebrightness consistencyVSAvoidoperational endurance
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSDuration of action of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The voltage sensing function block continuously monitors solar panel voltage and provides feedback to the control system. Based on this feedback, the timing block adjusts the lamp's operating schedule and current variation pattern, dynamically balancing brightness consistency with energy conservation to extend operational endurance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

A lamp control method, a chip, a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, a computer program, and an electronic device are provided. The lamp control method comprises acquiring a present working state of a lamp; determining a control priority of a voltage sensing function block and a control priority of a timing function block based on the present working state of the lamp to obtain a priority result; controlling the lamp to work based on the priority result. When the lamp is in the operating state, the control priority of the timing function block is configured to be higher than the control priority of the voltage sensing function block, such that the lamp is controlled to work based on the preset timing strategy, avoiding interference from other external light sources.
