Abstract

An LED light and communication system includes Visible Light Communication Transceiver Glasses having at least one projector, lense(s), and optical transceiver, the optical transceiver including a light support and a processor. The light support has at least one light emitting diode and at least one photodetector attached. The processor is in communication with the at least one light emitting diode and the at least one photodetector. The processor is capable of illuminating the at least one light emitting diode to create at least one light signal which is not observable to the unaided eyes of an individual. The second light signal includes at least one data packet. The processor may generate a signal for the projector to display information on the lense(s).

Claims

1. An LED light and communication device comprising:

visible light communication transceiver glasses comprising;

a frame comprising at least one lens, at least one light emitting diode, and at least one photodetector, said at least one photodetector constructed and arranged for receipt of at least one pulsed light communication signal, said at least one pulsed light communication signal comprising light in a visible spectrum, said at least one pulsed light communication signal comprising at least one of an embedded image, information, and data, the frame further comprising at least one processor in communication with the at least one light emitting diode and the at least one photodetector, the processor being constructed and arranged to activate the at least one light emitting diode to generate at least one light communication signal comprising light in said visible spectrum, said at least one light communication signal comprising at least one of a data packet, an image, and information packet embedded in said light communication signal, said at least one pulsed light communication signal or said at least one light communication signal comprising an identifier, said frame further comprising at least one speaker, said at least one speaker being in communication with said at least one processor; and
