VISIBLE LIGHT COMMUNICATION T ERMINAL

摘要

A body (20) of a visible light communication terminal (1) accommodates: a light-receiving unit (11) for receiving, via a lens (23), a visible light communication signal outputted from an external visible light transmitter and converting the received visible light communication signal into an electric signal; an output unit (13, 14, 15) for outputting, to the outside, information obtained from the visible light communication signal converted into an electric signal by the light-receiving unit (11); and a power supply unit (19) for supplying power to the light-receiving unit (11) and to the output unit. An arcuately curved ear-hooking part (26 (27)) attached at one end to the body (20) is hooked on an auricle of the user so as to sandwich the auricle between itself and the body (20), whereby the body (20) is mounted on the auricle. The light-receiving unit (11) for receiving a visible light communication signal via the lens (23) is di sposed on a section of the body (20) that is on the top side thereof when the body (20) is mounted on the auricle that.
