Vehicular Illumination Control with Priority-Based Factor Reuse
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vehicular illumination control systems face inefficiencies in development speed and quality due to the need to define all three factors (color, luminance, and time) for each new illumination control operation, leading to increased development steps and risk of mistakes.
Innovation Solution
A control device that determines priorities among illumination control operations and allows the definition of factors in a higher-priority operation to be unnecessary when they are the same as those in a lower-priority operation, using the definition of factors from the next higher-priority operation to perform the control.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If all factors (color, luminance, and time) are defined for each illumination control operation, then the illumination control can be precisely controlled, but the development speed decreases and the number of development steps increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by creating a common definition structure that can be shared across multiple illumination control operations. Instead of defining color, luminance, and time factors separately for each operation, the system uses a universal definition template that can be reused. This allows different illumination control operations to inherit common factors from the same definition, reducing redundant work while maintaining precise control capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements preliminary action by establishing a standardized definition framework in advance that includes all necessary factors (color, luminance, time). This pre-defined structure serves as a template that can be directly applied to new illumination control operations, eliminating the need to redefine factors each time and thereby accelerating development while ensuring consistency and precision.
2Manufacturing precision
If all factors (color, luminance, and time) are defined for each illumination control operation, then the control can be precisely implemented, but the number of development steps increases and mistake risk increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the illumination control definition into two distinct parts: common factors (color, luminance, time) that are defined once in a universal template, and operation-specific parameters that vary by control type. This segmentation allows the common factors to be defined a single time and reused across multiple operations, reducing the total number of development steps while maintaining implementation precision through the structured separation of concerns.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements copying by creating a master definition template that contains all necessary factor definitions (color, luminance, time). This template can be copied and applied to multiple illumination control operations, ensuring consistency across all operations while significantly reducing the number of development steps required. The copying mechanism eliminates redundant definition work and reduces mistake risk through standardized reuse.
3Adaptability or versatility
If definition items for color, luminance, and time are defined for each new illumination control operation, then complete control coverage is achieved, but the amount of definition work becomes massive
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by creating a single definition template that serves multiple illumination control operations simultaneously. The universal template includes all necessary factors (color, luminance, time) that can be applied across different control operations, ensuring complete control coverage is achieved while eliminating the need to redefine these factors for each new operation, thereby significantly reducing definition work time.
4Reliability
If comprehensive definition of factors is performed for each illumination control operation, then quality control is improved, but additional steps for preventing mistakes are required
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements copying by using a standardized definition template that can be replicated across multiple illumination control operations. This copying approach ensures quality control is maintained through consistent factor definitions while reducing the need for additional prevention steps, as the standardized template inherently reduces errors through reuse and consistency rather than requiring separate verification procedures for each operation.

AI summary
A control device for a vehicular illumination is configured to make definition of factors of an illumination control operation with a higher priority unnecessary when definition of factors of the illumination control operation with the higher priority is the same as definition of factors of an illumination control operation with a lower priority than the illumination control operation with a higher priority.
