Abstract:
Disclosed is a system and method for using visible light communication (“VLC”) to perform indoor position location. Through use of a system and method configured as set forth herein, the position of any appropriately marked person or item may be found indoors using data interconnected modules that communicate with one another via RF and visible light. A mobile receiver in the form of a tag or badge attached to the person or item to be tracked receives a VLC signal from a plurality of lighting modules, and transmits back to a mesh network formed by the modules the data it received to determine the tag's or badge's physical position with respect to the individual network modules.

Claim (Index 1):
A system for detecting a location of a mobile receiver, comprising:\n a plurality of lighting modules each having a light source configured to provide visible light communication data signals to a mobile receiver, wherein said plurality of lighting modules are in data communication with one another so as to transmit unique lighting module identification codes from the plurality of lighting modules; and a mobile receiver having a photodetector and a transmitter, and mobile receiver computer code configured to determine lighting module identification codes from visible light signals transmitted from said plurality of lighting modules, and to transmit data representative of determined lighting module identification codes to one or more of said lighting modules, such that said mobile receiver and said one or more of said lighting modules carry on two-way communication; wherein said plurality of lighting modules further comprise one or more processors having computer executable code stored thereon configured to receive said data from said mobile receiver representative of determined lighting module identification codes, and to determine a physical location of said mobile receiver based on said data representative of determined lighting module identification codes and data representative of a physical location of said plurality of lighting modules.
