Claim One:
1. A computer-implemented method for detecting and interpreting a visual indicator, comprising: receiving, from a user device associated with a user profile, image data representing a light emitting diode (LED) of an appliance; identifying a type of the appliance using the image data; determining stored pixel coordinates corresponding to a reference location of the LED relative to the appliance and a stored illumination sequence of the LED; identifying, based on the reference data, pixel coordinates in an image frame, the pixel coordinates corresponding to a location of the LED in the image data; determining a first luminescence value and first color value of a first pixel value in a first image of the image data, wherein the first pixel value corresponds to the location of the LED in the first image and the first image corresponds to a first time; determining a second luminescence value and second color value of a second pixel value in a second image of the image data, wherein the second pixel value corresponds to the location of the LED in the second image and the second image corresponds to a second time after the first time; determining that the first luminescence value, the first color value, the second luminescence value and the second color value correspond to the stored illumination sequence of the LED; identifying information associated with the stored illumination sequence, the information relating to the appliance; and sending the information to the user device.
