Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple illumination devices are disposed in the same space with individual control capabilities, then each device can independently adjust light distribution shape and diffusion degree, but it becomes difficult to simultaneously control various setting values across all devices
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the control functions of multiple illumination devices into a single control device. The control device includes a touch sensor with detection elements, a display panel, and a storage circuit that stores setting information for multiple devices. By combining individual device controls into one unified interface, users can simultaneously adjust light distribution shape, diffusion degree, brightness, and color temperature across all illumination devices through a single operation panel, resolving the contradiction between individual device adaptability and ease of simultaneous control
2Measurement precision
If individual control interfaces are provided for each illumination device, then each device can be precisely controlled, but the complexity of the control system increases
Solution Approach 1:
The control device is designed as a universal control unit that can manage multiple illumination devices simultaneously. The storage circuit stores setting information for various parameters including light distribution shape, diffusion degree, brightness, and color temperature for multiple devices. The touch sensor and display panel provide a unified interface that performs multiple control functions across all devices, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining precise control capabilities for each parameter

AI summary
According to an aspect, a control device for an illumination device is configured to control a plurality of illumination devices each capable of setting a light distribution shape of light emitted from a light source in two directions of a first direction and a second direction intersecting the first direction. The control device includes: a touch sensor including a detection region in which a plurality of detection elements are provided; a display panel provided with a display region overlapping the detection region of the touch sensor in plan view; and a storage circuit configured to store setting information at least including setting values of the light distribution shape. The setting information of the illumination devices is set as scene information in the storage circuit. The setting information set as the scene information for each of the illumination devices is transmitted to an illumination device associated with the setting information.
