Patent CA-2609877-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ASHDOWN IAN
IPC: H04B10/10
Filed: 2006-01-25
Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus of using light-emitting elements for illumination as well as communication of data, wherein potential flicker due to sub-fusion frequency data correlations can be reduced compared to prior art techniques, while reducing redundancy in the data transmission.  The intensity of the illumination from the light-emitting elements is controlled by a dimming signal such as a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal or a pulse code modulation (PCM) signal, for example. An amplitude-modulated data signal is then superimposed on the dimming signal for communication of data. The dimming signal thus acts as a carrier signal for the data signal. A  sensing means is then used to receive the data signal by detecting all or part of the illumination from the light-emitting elements. The data signal can subsequently be extracted from the detected illumination.

Abstract: Scheduling of service calls for field service workers may be optimized based, at least in part, upon market demand for field service visits, in accordance with various embodiments of the invention. During relatively higher demand periods, schedules for field service workers may be optimized to be relatively compact such that relatively more appointments are placed on a given schedule. During relatively lower demand periods, schedules may be optimized such that relatively more time will be provided between appointments to allow for more up-selling opportunities during service visits. Such scheduling optimizations are referred to herein as demand driven scheduling because how a field service worker's schedule is optimized is determined based, at least in part, on market demand for service calls in a particular geographic region during a given period of time.
