1. A communication system based on a sequence of color patterns, comprising:
- a mobile device capturing one or more images of one or more color patterns from a sequence of color patterns, the sequence of color patterns created by a plurality of discreet three-dimensional colored lights, wherein the three-dimensional colored lights are coupled to a public promotion space that displays information associated with a promotion, and wherein the three dimensional colored lights are coupled to the public promotion space such that vantage points from which the three dimensional colored lights are visible include vantage points from which the information displayed by the public promotion space is visible and vantage points from which the information displayed by the public promotion space is not visible; and
an application that, when executed on a processor of the mobile device, uses the captured images to automatically retrieve additional content related to the information associated with the promotion displayed on the public promotion space.

9. A method of content retrieval using a sequence of colored light patterns, comprising:
-
capturing two or more images of two or more colored light patterns in a sequence of colored light patterns using a camera on a mobile device, the colored light patterns generated by a plurality of colored lights coupled to a public promotion space that displays information associated with a promotion; decoding the captured images of the two or more colored light patterns; identifying additional content related to the information associated with the promotion displayed on the public promotion space based on the decoding of the captured images; and providing the additional content to a user of the mobile device. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
