LED LIGHT DONGLE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

A Universal Serial Bus (USB) dongle may include an optical transceiver having a USB interface for engagement to an electronic device such as a laptop computer or other USB-configured device. The USB dongle may include a converter or buffering, isolation, modulation or amplification circuitry. The USB dongle sends and receives data signals which may be carried upon an optical transmission as generated by an LED light source which in turn is in communication with a host device such as a network processor. The USB dongle may also include operational amplifiers (op-amps) and transistor amplifiers.

主权项

1. A light emitting diode light communication device comprising:
a housing comprising at least one optical transceiver, said at least one optical transceiver comprising at least one light emitting diode, at least one photodetector, and a universal serial bus interface, wherein said universal serial bus interface is releasably engaged to, and is in communication with at least one electronic device, wherein said at least one optical transceiver receives at least one received light signal comprising light in the visible spectrum, said at least one received light signal being observable to unaided eyes of an individual, said at least one received light signal comprising a plurality of rapid flashes of light, said rapid flashes of light in the visible spectrum having a frequency which is not observable to the unaided eyes of said individual, wherein said rapid flashes of light transmit information or data, said information or data comprising at least one optical transceiver location identifier.
