First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method, comprising:
- receiving one or more infrared images from an infrared camera;
recognizing within one or more of the infrared images an active infrared light emitted from a beacon of a wireless control device; and
after the beacon of the wireless control device stops emitting the active infrared light, recognizing within one or more of the infrared images a passive infrared light reflected from a retroreflector of the control device.
