Innovation Solution
A lighting control method and system that utilizes a wireless network component to detect terminal connections, controlling illumination based on connection status, with features like authentication and adjustable brightness modes, and a timer for delayed actions to optimize lighting usage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Extent of automation
If voice-based lighting control system is used to detect user presence, then lighting control automation is improved, but reliability deteriorates due to environmental noise interference
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a wireless network component as an intermediary between the user's terminal device and the lighting apparatus. The terminal device connects to the lighting apparatus via wireless network, and the connection status serves as a reliable indicator of user presence, avoiding the noise interference problems of voice-based detection.
2Ease of operation
If voice-based lighting control system is used, then convenience is improved, but harmful factors increase due to disturbance in quiet environments
Solution Approach 1:
The lighting apparatus automatically detects user presence through terminal connection status and controls lighting accordingly, without requiring user voice commands. The system serves itself by monitoring its own connection status and making lighting decisions, eliminating the need for users to make special sounds.
3Reliability
If wireless network connection detection is used for lighting control, then reliability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The lighting apparatus integrates a wireless network component that serves multiple functions: providing wireless network access to terminals and simultaneously detecting user presence for lighting control. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate detection devices, thereby limiting the increase in device complexity.
