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 17):
A method performed by a dual-mode visible light communications device that operates in a visible light communications mode and a wireless network communications mode, the method comprising:\n transmitting, by a visible light transmitting unit, a fixed identifier using visible light communications protocol based on control of a controller; receiving, by a wireless network communications unit, a message request to join a first wireless network; transmitting, by the wireless network communications unit, the fixed identifier to a wireless network controller; connecting the wireless network communications unit to the first wireless network controlled by the wireless network controller; and after one of the receiving, the transmitting and the connecting, controlling, by the controller of the visible light communications device, the visible light transmitting unit such that the visible light transmitting unit changes transmission of the fixed identifier using the visible light communications protocol.
