Systems and methods are provided that disclose providing a positioning service for devices based on light received from one or more light sources. This light based positioning service uses light information transmitted by each light source to determine the position of the device. The positioning information can include three dimension position information in a building that can then be used to deliver services and information to a mobile device. The content delivered to a mobile device can include multimedia, text, audio, and/or pictorial information. The positioning information along with other location or positioning information can be used in providing augmented reality or location aware services. The light sources can be independent beacons that broadcast information in visible light at a rate that is undetectable by the human eye. Content can be retrieved from a server over a communications connection.
The present application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 14/988,827, entitled “INDEPENDENT BEACON BASED LIGHT POSITION SYSTEM,” filed Jan. 6, 2016 published Apr. 28, 2016 as US 20160119590 A1; which earlier application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13/369,144, entitled “INDEPENDENT BEACON BASED LIGHT POSITION SYSTEM,” filed Feb. 8, 2012 issued Mar. 15, 2016 as U.S. Pat. No. 9,287,976; which claims benefit under 35 U.S.C. § 119(e) to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61/567,484, entitled “SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR LIGHT BASED LOCATION,” filed Dec. 6, 2011, and U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61/511,589, entitled “SYSTEM USING OPTICAL ENERGY FOR WIRELESS DATA TRANSFER,” filed Jul. 26, 2011; all of which earlier applications are incorporated by reference herein in their entirety.
There are many modulation techniques used to send information through light 102. One technique, “On Off Keying” (OOK), is a scheme to transmit digital data by rapidly switching a signal source on and off. OOK is the simplest form of amplitude-shift keying (ASK) which is a modulation technique that represents digital data through either the presence or absence of a carrier wave. When communicating with visible light, the carrier wave takes the form of the transmitted light signal. Therefore at a rudimentary level, when the light signal is turned “on” a digital “one” is perceived, and when the light signal is turned “off” a “zero” is perceived. Furthermore the rate at which the light signal is turned on and off represents the modulation frequency. Note that regardless of changing the modulation frequency, the “carrier wave” remains unchanged as this is an inherent property of the light itself For example the carrier wave corresponding to a blue light signal is uniquely different than the carrier wave corresponding to a red light signal. While these two signals differ only in the wavelength specific to their perceived color, they can be perceived as two discrete signals.
CPU 502 is a generic CPU block found in most smart devices. The CPU 502 is in charge of processing received information and sending relevant information to the network adapter 503. Additionally the CPU has the ability to read and write information to embedded storage 504 within the mobile device 103. The CPU 502 can use any standard computer architecture. Common architectures for microcontroller 503 devices include ARM and x86.
Network 601 represents a data network which can be accessed by mobile devices 103 a-103 b via their embedded network adapters 503. The networked can consist of a wired or wireless local area network (LAN), with a method to access a larger wide area network (WAN), or a cellular data network (Edge, 3G, 4G, LTS, etc). The network connection provides the ability for the mobile devices 103 a-103 b to send and receive information from additional sources, whether locally or remotely.
Server 703 handles incoming ID codes 701, and appropriately returns indoor location data 702 to the mobile devices 103. The handling can including receiving incoming ID codes, searching databases to determine matches, calculating position coordinates based on the ID codes, and communicating indoor location data 702. Since the LED light sources 101 are acting as “dumb” one way communication beacons, it is up to other devices to determine how to use the ID codes to calculate position information and deliver related content. In some embodiments, the server 703 can include the information used to link ID codes 701 to physical spaces and to deliver location specific content. The server is designed to handle the incoming requests in a scalable manner, and return results to the mobile devices in real-time.
