Claim Text:
1. A system for receiving and processing signals, the system comprising: an image sensor including a pixel array with a plurality of pixels that receives light having a light characteristic, wherein the pixel array generates electrical signals that represent the light characteristic and additional information encoded in the light characteristic in response to the received light, and wherein a first portion of the plurality of pixels receives power during a first time period and a second portion of the plurality of pixels does not receive power during the first time period; processing circuitry that processes the electrical signals generated by the pixel array to decode the encoded information, that compares the decoded information to user preference information, and that sorts the decoded information to generate a sorted list of options based on the user preference information, wherein the decoded information is compared to the user preference information to determine whether the decoded information matches the user preference information, and wherein the second portion of the plurality of pixels receives power during a second time period that is different than the first time period in response to determining that the decoded information matches the user preference information; and an output device that generates an output in response to the processing circuitry by comparing the decoded information to the user preference information, wherein the output comprises a plurality of the options from the sorted list.
