Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple sensors are deployed to control different lights in the same area, then the coverage and flexibility of the lighting system is improved, but synchronization issues and DISCO phenomena occur between multiple lights
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple independent sensing lighting devices into a unified network system where all devices communicate through a central controller. The control module integrates signals from multiple sensors and coordinates lighting output across all devices, eliminating the DISCO phenomenon while preserving system flexibility and adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the control module continuously receives signals from multiple sensors, processes them centrally, and adjusts lighting output accordingly. This closed-loop control ensures synchronization across all lighting devices while maintaining the system's ability to adapt to different scenarios.
2Ease of operation
If independent sensor control is used for each light, then the system complexity is reduced and ease of installation is improved, but asynchronous lighting effects and sudden brightness changes occur
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs a universal control module that can manage multiple sensing lighting devices through a standardized communication network. This multi-functional controller maintains ease of installation by using standard protocols while ensuring reliable and consistent lighting output across all devices through centralized coordination.
3Area of stationary object
If multiple sensing devices are installed in the same illumination area, then the system coverage is improved, but the lighting coordination and visual effect are deteriorated due to dissynchronization
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple sensing devices operating in the same illumination area into a coordinated network. The control module merges signals from all sensors and regulates lighting output to ensure uniform and synchronized illumination across the entire coverage area, eliminating visual discrepancies while maintaining extensive area coverage.
