Camera-Equipped Cellular Terminal for Visible Light Communication

摘要

The present invention provides a camera-equipped cellular terminal capable of receiving visible light communication. In order to receive information from visible light, a light receiving unit ( 24 ) for visible light pointing to the same direction as a light receiving lens of the camera ( 21 ) is provided other than a camera ( 21 ) of a conventional camera-equipped cellular terminal ( 20 ). This light receiving unit ( 24 ) receives information from the visible light. This light receiving unit ( 24 ) may be configured by a photodiode or the like. When the camera ( 21 ) is used as a finder to display an illuminating device conducting visible light communication in a display of the camera, whether the light receiving unit 24 can receive information through visible light communication is determined.
