DERIVATION OF AN IDENTIFIER ENCODED IN A VISIBLE LIGHT COMMUNICATION SIGNAL
First Claim
1. A method of deriving an identifier encoded in a visible light communication (VLC) signal, comprising:
- capturing a first part of the VLC signal;
extracting, from the first part of the VLC signal, a first pattern of bits representing at least a portion of the identifier encoded in the VLC signal;
comparing the first pattern of bits to different portions of a plurality of identifiers; and
identifying, based at least in part on the comparing, a subset of the plurality of identifiers as candidate matches to the identifier encoded in the VLC signal.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices are described for deriving an identifier encoded in a visible light communication (VLC) signal. One method includes capturing a first part of the VLC signal; extracting, from the first part of the VLC signal, a first pattern of bits representing at least a portion of the identifier encoded in the VLC signal; comparing the first pattern of bits to different portions of a plurality of identifiers; and identifying, based at least in part on the comparing, a subset of the plurality of identifiers as candidate matches to the identifier encoded in the VLC signal.

23. A device for deriving an identifier encoded in a visible light communication (VLC) signal, comprising a processor, memory in electronic communication with the processor, and instructions stored in the memory, the instructions being executable by the processor to:
-
capture a first part of the VLC signal; extract, from the first part of the VLC signal, a first pattern of bits representing at least a portion of the identifier encoded in the VLC signal; compare the first pattern of bits to different portions of a plurality of identifiers; and identify, based at least in part on the comparing, a subset of the plurality of identifiers as candidate matches to the identifier encoded in the VLC signal. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27)
