An illuminating device with a set of illuminating components, a controlling circuit, and a communication circuit that allows for remote input and control via an external device, using a processor and motion sensor to selectively drive the illuminating components based on received signals, enabling dynamic display of pictures and modes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If motion conditions and illuminating effects are preset inside the illuminating device before leaving the factory, then the device can function immediately upon power-on, but the user cannot adjust the conditions, special effects and contents except turning on or off the power
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a communication circuit as an intermediary between the user's external device (smartphone, computer) and the illuminating device's control circuit. This mediator enables remote configuration of lighting conditions, patterns, and contents without requiring direct interaction with the device's internal controls, thus improving ease of operation while avoiding direct user-complexity trade-offs
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts the configuration and control functions from the illuminating device itself and relocates them to an external input device (smartphone, computer). The storage for conditions, special effects, and contents is effectively moved outside the illuminating device, allowing users to adjust parameters remotely through wireless communication, thereby improving operational flexibility without increasing the device's internal complexity
2Adaptability or versatility
If illuminating components are directly configured on the wearable object surface, then the device structure is simple, but the user cannot remotely transmit and instantly change messages
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal communication interface that allows the illuminating device to receive and process various types of control signals from external devices. The communication circuit can handle different protocols and formats, enabling the same hardware to support multiple lighting patterns, messages, and control methods, thus achieving adaptability without proportionally increasing complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The communication circuit serves as an intermediary that bridges the external user interface and the internal illuminating components. This mediator enables remote transmission of messages and pattern changes through wireless communication, allowing users to control the device from a distance without requiring physical access to controls or complex internal wiring

Data Source
AI summary
An illuminating device includes an illuminating component set, a controlling circuit coupled to the illuminating component set, and a communication circuit electrically coupled to the controlling circuit. The controlling circuit further includes a storage and a processor electrically connected to the storage. The communication circuit is configured for receiving a picture transmitted by an input device and storing the picture into the storage. The processor selectively drives the illuminating component set to emit light according to a controlling signal and the picture. The illuminating device can be configured on a wearable object, so that the wearable object can be controlled to emit light by the input device.
