Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing audio equipment with lighting systems suffer from latency issues, resulting in preset lighting displays that cannot be improvised by users, limiting the ability to create a dynamic party atmosphere.
Innovation Solution
A method and system for real-time lighting interaction between a remote controlling device and a speaker device, allowing users to select lighting patterns through different modes (normal and free-style) via a user interface, generating and communicating parameter data to adjust light shows accordingly, and enabling real-time control of lighting patterns based on user input.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If real-time lighting control is implemented, then user interaction and customization capability are improved, but system latency and response delay worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-loads and stores multiple lighting patterns and their corresponding parameter sets in the speaker device before user selection. When a user selects a lighting pattern, the corresponding parameters are immediately retrieved and applied without real-time computation delays, thus achieving both pattern versatility and fast response.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically switches between different lighting patterns by pre-defining multiple parameter sets. Each parameter set corresponds to a specific lighting pattern, allowing the system to rapidly transition between patterns without recalculating parameters in real-time, thereby maintaining low latency while offering diverse lighting options.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple lighting patterns and modes are provided, then lighting display diversity is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The lighting system is segmented into multiple independent parameter sets, each corresponding to a specific lighting pattern. The control interface is divided into distinct modes (first mode with simple selection, second mode with advanced options). This segmentation allows the system to manage complexity by organizing functions into modular, independently controllable units.
Solution Approach 2:
Different levels of control complexity are provided for different user needs. The first mode offers simple lighting pattern selection for basic needs, while the second mode provides detailed parameter adjustment for advanced users. This local quality approach ensures that the system adapts its complexity to the user's requirements rather than presenting all features uniformly.
3Speed
If real-time parameter adjustment is enabled, then lighting interaction responsiveness is improved, but processing overhead increases
Solution Approach 1:
All lighting parameters are pre-calculated and stored in the speaker device before runtime. When a lighting pattern is selected, the system simply retrieves and applies the pre-computed parameters without performing complex real-time calculations, thereby achieving fast response with minimal processing energy consumption.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses pre-defined parameter templates or copies for each lighting pattern. Instead of generating unique parameters for each lighting event, the system retrieves stored parameter copies that match the selected pattern, significantly reducing processing overhead while maintaining responsive lighting control.

AI summary
The disclosure describes a method for a real-time lighting interaction between a remote controlling device and a speaker device. The method comprises receiving a user request via the remote controlling device and determining whether the user request is for selecting a first lighting pattern from a plurality of lighting patterns included in a first mode or a second lighting pattern from a plurality of lighting patterns included in a second mode. The method further generates and communicates first parameter data associated with the selected lighting pattern or second parameter data associated with the selected lighting pattern, based on the determined user request. The method adjusts a light show on the speaker device to output the first output lighting pattern associated with the first parameter data or the second output lighting pattern associated the second parameter data, in response to receiving the first parameter data or the second parameter data.
