Abstract:
Disclosed herein are a dual-mode device operating in a visible light communications mode and a wireless network communications mode, and a method performed by the device. The visible light communications device includes a wireless network communications unit including a fixed identifier and performing communications based on a wireless protocol, a visible light transmitting unit transmitting the fixed identifier using a visible light communications protocol, and a controller (control unit) controlling the visible light transmitting unit so that it selectively transmits the fixed identifier using the visible light communications protocol depending on whether the wireless network communications unit is connected to a wireless network.

Claim (Index 10):
A wireless network controller comprising:\n a wireless network communications unit that performs communications using a wireless protocol; a visible light receiving unit that receives, from a visible light communications device, a first fixed identifier by using a visible light communications protocol; a storage that stores the received first fixed identifier for a predetermined group; and a controller that controls the wireless network communications unit, the visible light receiving unit, and the storage, wherein when the wireless network communications unit transmits, to one or more visible light communications device, a first message requesting to join a first wireless network and then the wireless network communications unit receives a second fixed identifier, the controller of the wireless network controller searches the storage for a first fixed identifier having a same value as the second fixed identifier, and when the found first fixed identifier is not connected to the first wireless network, the controller of the wireless network controller controls the visible light communications device such that the visible light communications device connects to the first wireless network.
