Abstract:
Techniques are disclosed for enhancing indoor navigation using light-based communication (LCom). In some embodiments, an LCom-enabled luminaire configured as described herein may include access to a sensor configured to detect a given hazardous condition. In response to detection of a hazard, the LCom-enabled luminaire may adjust its light output, transmit an LCom signal, or both, in accordance with some embodiments. A given LCom signal may include data that may be utilized by a recipient computing device, for example, in providing emergency evacuation routing or other indoor navigation with hazard avoidance, emergency assistance, or both. In a network of such luminaires, data distribution via inter-luminaire communication may be provided, in accordance with some embodiments, via an optical interface or other wired or wireless communication means. In some cases, the network may include a luminaire that is not LCom-enabled yet still configured for inter-luminaire communication.

Claim (Index 1):
A non-transitory computer program product encoded with instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, causes a process to be carried out, the process comprising:\n analyzing a pulsing light signal encoded with data transmitted by a solid-state luminaire in response to detection of an alarm by at least one of a sensor, an image capture device, and an audio input device; and at least one of:\n computing an emergency evacuation route from such data; and \n initiating an electronic communication to solicit help to address an event indicated in the data, the electronic communication directed to at least one of a first responder and a personal contact.
