Abstract:
A visible-light receiver and a visible-light communication system including the visible-light receiver may improve an accuracy of light reception. The visible-light receiver may include a housing having a first opening defined on a top face thereof; a lens module provided inside the housing that receives light or a visible-light signal and converts the light into an electric or electrical signal, wherein the light may be emitted from a visible-light emitter and passes through the first opening and to the lens module; a data processing module or data processor assembly provided within the housing that receives the electric signal from the lens module and converts the electric signal into data; and a cap or hollow tube provided on a top face of the housing so as to extend around the first opening and protrude upwardly, wherein the cap may have second and third openings defined in lower and upper portions thereof, respectively.

Claim (Index 9):
A visible-light communication system including:\n an emitter that emits light of a prescribed wavelength; a receiver that receives the emitted light, wherein the receiver includes:\n a housing having a first opening defined in a first surface of the housing; \n a lens module provided inside the housing that receives the emitted light and converts the emitted light into an electrical signal, wherein the emitted light is passed through the first opening to the lens module; \n a data processor assembly provided within the housing that receives the electrical signal from the lens and converts the electrical signal into data; \n an input/output module electrically connected to the data processor assembly, wherein the input/output module receives the data from the data processor assembly and outputs the data to an external device; and \n an open-ended cap provided on the first surface of the housing extending around the first opening and protruding upward from the housing, wherein the open-ended cap prevents light emitted from a second visible-light emitter or other visible-light emitters from passing through the first opening and includes:\n a second opening provided in a lower portion of the open-ended cap; \n a third opening provided in an upper portion of the open-ended cap, wherein a diameter of the first opening is smaller than a diameter of the second opening, the diameter of the second opening is smaller than a diameter of the third opening, and a height of the open-ended cap is at least equal to the diameter of the third opening or is at least 1.5 times larger than a difference between the diameter of the third opening and the diameter of the first opening; and \n an inner circumferential face of the open-ended cap that lowers a visible-light reflectance.
