Abstract

A vehicle comprises a control unit, a light fidelity module coupled to the control unit, wherein the light fidelity module is used for transmitting a visible light to another vehicle and receiving a visible light from another vehicle; and a digital code processing unit coupled to the control unit, wherein the digital code processing unit is used for encoding or decoding data transmitted to or received from the light fidelity module.

Claims

1. A vehicle, comprising:

a visible light source to transmit a first visible light to another vehicle;

a photo detector configured to receive a second visible light transmitted from said another vehicle; and

a digital code processing unit configured to encode said first visible light or decode said second visible light.

2. The vehicle as set forth in claim 1, wherein said visible light source includes LED, OLED, field emission or laser device.

3. The vehicle as set forth in claim 1, further comprising a signal amplification and processing unit.

4. The vehicle as set forth in claim 1, further comprising a display coupled to a control unit.

5. The vehicle as set forth in claim 1, further comprising an image capturing device coupled to a control unit to capture a traffic signal image, and a traffic signal analysis module coupled to said image capturing device to analyze said traffic signal image.

6. The vehicle as set forth in claim 1, further comprising a visible light driver to drive said visible light source.

7. The vehicle as set forth in claim 1, further comprising a wireless data transferring module coupled to a control unit, and a subscriber identity module coupled to said wireless data transferring module.

8. The vehicle as set forth in claim 7, wherein said wireless data transferring module is 5G or higher level standard compatible module.

9. The vehicle as set forth in claim 1, further comprising a transceiver coupled to a control unit.

10. A vehicle, comprising:

a first visible light source to transmit a first visible light to another vehicle;

a roadway light photo detector configured to receive a second visible light transmitted from a roadway light device with a second visible light source; and

a digital code processing unit configured to encode said first visible light or decode said second visible light.

11. The vehicle as set forth in claim 10, further comprising an image capturing device coupled to a control unit to capture a traffic signal image, and a traffic signal analysis module coupled to said image capturing device to analyze said traffic signal image.

12. The vehicle as set forth in claim 10, further comprising a visible light driver to drive said first visible light source.

13. The vehicle as set forth in claim 10, further comprising a wireless data transferring module coupled to a control unit, and a subscriber identity module coupled to said wireless data transferring module.

14. The vehicle as set forth in claim 10, wherein said wireless data transferring module is 5G or higher level standard compatible module.

15. A vehicle, comprising:

a first visible light source to transmit a first visible light to another vehicle;

a traffic signal photo detector configured to receive a second visible light transmitted from a traffic signal light device with a second visible light source; and

a digital code processing unit configured to encode said first visible light or decode said second visible light.

16. The vehicle as set forth in claim 15, further comprising an image capturing device coupled to a control unit to capture a traffic signal image, and a traffic signal analysis module coupled to said image capturing device to analyze said traffic signal image.

17. The vehicle as set forth in claim 15, further comprising a visible light driver to drive said first visible light source.

18. The vehicle as set forth in claim 15, further comprising a wireless data transferring module coupled to a control unit, and a subscriber identity module coupled to said wireless data transferring module.

19. The vehicle as set forth in claim 15, wherein said wireless data transferring module is 5G or higher level standard compatible module.

20. The vehicle as set forth in claim 15, further comprising a display coupled to a control unit.
