Solution Overview

Problem

Existing intelligent lighting systems face challenges in achieving convenient and coordinated overall control of devices of the same type within a space, requiring users to perform multiple adjustments due to insufficiently coordinated global lighting effects.

Innovation Solution

An intelligent control method and system that configures controlled devices with spatial feature values and permissions, allowing them to send control messages to other devices for synchronized adjustments based on spatial feature matching and permissions, reducing the need for secondary user adjustments.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If online control methods (APP or front-end user interface) are used to achieve collective control of devices, then overall control capability is improved, but user convenience deteriorates due to cloud configuration requirements and lack of direct local control

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoverall control capabilityVSAvoiduser convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a gateway as an intermediary device that enables local control of multiple devices without requiring cloud configuration. The gateway receives control instructions from the user and distributes them to target devices directly through local network communication, eliminating the need for users to manually configure each device through APP or front-end interfaces while maintaining overall control capability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables devices to automatically identify and control each other through pre-configured device groups and spatial relationships. When a user issues a control instruction to one device, the system automatically determines which other devices should receive the instruction based on their spatial features and group memberships, performing the coordination task without requiring user intervention or cloud configuration

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Measurement precision

If a single controlled device adjusts lighting parameters, then local control precision is improved, but global lighting coordination deteriorates requiring multiple adjustments

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelocal control precisionVSAvoidglobal lighting coordination
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the control functions of multiple devices by establishing device groups based on spatial relationships. When a user controls one device, the control instruction is automatically extended to other devices in the same group, combining their effects to achieve coordinated global lighting adjustment while maintaining the precision of individual device control

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The system assigns different spatial feature values to different devices based on their physical locations and functions. This allows the system to selectively apply control instructions to specific devices or groups of devices with matching spatial features, enabling precise local control while maintaining the ability to coordinate globally when needed

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

Provided are an intelligent control method, an intelligent control system and an intelligent lighting system. The intelligent control method comprises: when a controlled device receives a control instruction for switching a first scene to a second scene, the controlled device responds to the control instruction and queries a spatial feature value of the controlled device; and the controlled device sends a control message comprising the control instruction and the spatial feature value to other controlled devices, and the other controlled devices execute the instruction when the same feature value exists, so that the controlled device is linked to the other controlled devices to achieve overall control.
