Light based location system

摘要

Aspects of the disclosure relate to a light source based location and operation system. A computing device may detect an encoded light signal containing an identifier from a light source at a location. The encoded light signal can be decoded to obtain the identifier, and a request for information based on the identifier can be transmitted in response to decoding the identifier. Information associated with the identifier may be received in response to the request for information including location information corresponding to the location of the light source. The location information may be used to provide additional information to the user or enable a user to control devices based on the location information.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
detecting, by a computing device at a location, an encoded light signal from a light source at the location, wherein the encoded light signal indicates the location; transmitting, by the computing device, a request for a list of content consumption devices at the location indicated by the encoded light signal; receiving, by the computing device, the list of content consumption devices; transmitting, by the computing device, a selection of a content consumption device from the list of content consumption devices; and controlling, by the computing device, a selected content consumption device from the list of content consumption devices.
