  • the transmitting device including;

    at least one sensor provide at the movable portion, which generates a sensor signal;

    a signal processing unit which converts brightness signal which corresponds to an output level of the sensor signal, and color signal used for identifying the sensor; and

    a light emitting unit which emits an optical signal having the color signal and the brightness signal, respectively, and a reference optical signal,the receiving device including;

    an imaging unit which images the optical signal and the reference optical signal emitted by the transmitting device;

    an image processing unit which extracts the color signal and the brightness signal from image data generated by the imaging unit; and

    an analyzing unit which analyzes the color signal and the brightness signal to output an information for identifying the sensor and the output level of the sensor signal.
