Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing intelligent wall switches face challenges in coordinating power supply for wireless communication, leading to instability and requiring additional wireless switches that are inconvenient or have poor user experience, and lack diverse control modes.
Innovation Solution
A control system and method for intelligent wall switches that utilize two switches powered by strong current, enabling direct wireless interaction without intermediaries, allowing for synchronized control and indication, and reducing the need for additional wireless switches.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If existing intelligent wall switches are used as controlled parts with single control mode, then the control system is simple, but the control mode is relatively single and cannot meet diverse control requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes intelligent wall switches multi-functional by enabling them to serve both as controlled parts and control parts. Each switch can receive wireless control signals and send wireless control signals, allowing a single device type to perform multiple roles in the control system, thereby increasing adaptability without proportionally increasing device complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent inverts the traditional control relationship by enabling intelligent wall switches to not only be controlled but also to control other switches. This inversion allows switches to act as control sources, sending wireless control signals to other switches, thereby diversifying control modes while maintaining system simplicity
2Adaptability or versatility
If additional wireless switches are added to achieve diverse control, then control mode diversity is improved, but device complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent eliminates the need for additional wireless switches by making existing intelligent wall switches multi-functional. Each switch can both receive and send wireless control signals, allowing the same device to serve multiple purposes without requiring separate control devices, thereby maintaining control diversity while reducing system complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent enables intelligent wall switches to self-service by allowing them to autonomously send wireless control signals to control electrical appliances. The switches use their own wireless communication capabilities rather than requiring external wireless controllers, reducing the need for additional components

AI summary
The invention provides a control system and a processing method for an intelligent wall switch, and the intelligent wall switch, the control system including: a first switch electrically connected to a power supply loop of a first electrical appliance and configured to control connecting and disconnecting of the power supply loop in response to an implement control operation; a second switch including at least one key for receiving an implement control operation; and a signal transmitting unit operatively coupled to the key and configured to send out a wireless control signal in response to the implement control operation received at the key. The first switch and the second switch both include at least one power supply port for accessing a live wire so as to access a strong electric power source, and the second switch performs wireless interaction with the first switch in a direct connection manner. The first switch further includes a signal receiving unit configured to of receive and control an working state of the first electrical appliance in response to the wireless control signal.
