Patent ID: 8744267

Claim:
An LED light and communication system comprising: at least one optical transceiver comprising at least one location identifier, the at least one location identifier comprising global positioning system (GPS) location information, the optical transceiver further comprising: a light support having at least one light emitting diode and at least one photodetector attached thereto, said at least one light emitting diode generating light as illumination observable to the unaided eyes of an individual, said illumination comprising a plurality of flashes of illumination, said flashes of illumination not being observable to the unaided eyes of an individual, wherein said plurality of flashes of illumination do not harm eyes of an individual; and a processor in communication with the at least one light emitting diode and the at least one photodetector, the processor constructed and arranged to regulate said plurality of flashes of illumination to generate at least one communication signal embedded within said illumination said at least one communication signal comprising at least one data packet and said at least one optical transceiver location identifier, wherein said at least one optical transceiver is in communication with at least one lighting system or security system within a structure, said processor being constructed and arranged to activate or deactivate said at least one lighting system or security system through the regulation of said plurality of flashes of illumination, said processor comprising signal recognition software, said signal recognition software being constructed and arranged to calculate proximity of at least one signal, wherein the at least one optical transceiver is engaged to a lighting fixture within a building.
