Efficient address assignment in coded lighting positioning systems
First Claim
1. A coded lighting positioning system comprising a plurality of light sources, each of the plurality of light sources comprising:
- an emitter for emitting coded light comprising an initial light source identifier of the respective light source; and
a receiver for receiving, from a remote controller, information to assign a modified light source identifier to the respective light source the modified light source identifier being a locally unique identifier used to provide positional information and composed of less data than the initial light source identifier,the emitter further arranged for emitting coded light comprising said modified light source identifier of the respective light source.

Abstract
Remote controllers, positioning systems, and methods configured for the efficient assignment of addresses in a coded lighting positioning system are proposed. Particularly, a proposed remote controller comprises a receiver for receiving coded light from a light source in a coded lighting positioning system, where the coded light comprises an initial light source identifier of the light source. The remote controller also comprises a processing unit for assigning a modified light source identifier to the light source based on the received coded light, and a transmitter for transmitting the modified light source identifier to the light source. The modified light source identifier is a locally unique identifier used to provide positional information.

6. A method for assigning an identity to a light source in a coded lighting positioning system, comprising the steps of:
-
emitting coded light from said light source, said coded light comprising an initial light source identifier of said light source; receiving, by the light source, information from a remote controller to assign a modified light source identifier to said light source based on the emitted coded light wherein the modified light source identifier is a locally unique identifier used to provide positional information and composed of less data than the initial light source identifier; and emitting, from the light source, coded light comprising said modified light source identifier. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
