Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a virtual copy (digital twin) of the physical stage system, including virtual models of lifting platforms, LED screens, and other stage equipment. This virtual replica allows for simulation, testing, and management without affecting the actual physical system, thereby improving design efficiency while isolating system complexity to the virtual domain

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The stage system is divided into multiple independent modular units (lifting platforms, LED screen modules, simulation components). Each module can be independently modeled, simulated, and controlled in the virtual environment, making the complex system manageable through decomposition into smaller controllable units

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 1:

The virtual stage system performs preliminary simulation and testing of stage configurations, LED screen displays, and lifting platform movements before actual execution. By pre-calculating and optimizing parameters in the virtual environment, the system achieves precise control monitoring while reducing real-time processing requirements and execution time

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The virtual simulation system acts as an intermediary between the creative design phase and the actual operational phase. It translates creative concepts into actionable control parameters, manages the complexity of coordinating multiple lifting platforms and LED screens, and provides a buffer that simplifies the interface between operators and the complex physical system

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
