Solution Overview

Problem

The complexity of splicing-lamp lighting control structures and lighting effect parameters makes it difficult for users to accurately edit desired lighting effects, leading to inefficiencies in editing and potential errors.

Innovation Solution

A splicing-lamp lighting-effect application method that displays a plane composition of the target splicing-lamp, loads effect configuration information into a lighting-effect editing area, and applies lighting-effect information to preview the lighting effect, allowing users to edit and apply lighting effects more accurately.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the splicing-lamp uses a complex lighting control structure with multiple lamp blocks and light-emitting units to achieve versatile lighting effects, then the adaptability and functionality are improved, but the device complexity increases making it difficult for users to edit lighting effects accurately

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelighting effect functionalityVSAvoidlighting control structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the complex lighting control structure into multiple independent lamp blocks, where each lamp block contains multiple light-emitting units that can be controlled independently. This segmentation allows the system to maintain high versatility while simplifying the control interface, as users can edit lighting effects at the lamp block level rather than managing individual light-emitting units across the entire splicing-lamp system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Manufacturing precision

If the lighting effect parameters are increased to provide more editing options and precision, then the manufacturing precision and measurement precision are improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates as users find it harder to edit lighting effects

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelighting effect editing precisionVSAvoidlighting effect editing ease
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary layer between the user interface and the complex lighting control structure. This intermediary translates simple user editing operations into precise control commands for the multiple light-emitting units within each lamp block. Users interact with simplified parameters at the lamp block level, while the system automatically manages the complex parameter coordination required for accurate lighting effect editing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If the system provides comprehensive lighting effect editing capabilities with multiple parameters and options, then the adaptability is improved, but the loss of time increases due to the difficulty users face in accurately editing lighting effects

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelighting effect customizationVSAvoidlighting effect editing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary action by pre-configuring lamp blocks with standardized structures and common lighting effect templates. Users can start editing from these pre-established configurations rather than creating lighting effects from scratch. This preliminary setup significantly reduces the time required for lighting effect editing while maintaining full adaptability, as users can customize the pre-configured lamp blocks to meet specific requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
