Abstract
An LED illumination device is configured to receive coded messages by at least one of radio signals in free space, electrically conducted signals by wire, and light wave propagated signals in free space, process the coded messages, and transmit the coded messages by two or more of radio signals in free space, electrically conducted signals by wire, and light wave propagated signals in free space.
Claims17
A multi-media communication device comprising:
- receiving circuitry configured to receive coded messages on a first communication medium, on a second communication medium, and on a third communication medium;
- transmitting circuitry configured to transmit the coded messages on the first communication medium, on the second communication medium, and on the third communication medium;
- and
- processing circuitry configured to determine whether a first received coded message is received in a first time slot on at least one of the first communication medium and the second communication medium and, based on the determination, cause the transmitting circuitry to retransmit the first received coded message on the first communication medium and on the second communication medium in a second time slot.

A method of reacting to and retransmitting messages, the method comprising:
- determining with electrical circuitry whether a first received coded message is received in a first time slot on at least one of a first communication medium and a second communication medium, wherein the electrical circuitry is configured to receive and transmit coded messages on the first communication medium, on the second communication medium, and on a third communication medium;
- and
- retransmitting with the electrical circuitry, based on the determination, the first received coded message on the first communication medium and on the second communication medium in a second time slot.
A system to react to and retransmit messages, the system comprising:
- a mesh network configured to transmit and receive coded messages over a first communication medium, a second communication medium, and a third communication medium;
- a first multi-media communication device comprising first receiving circuitry configured to receive the coded messages on the first communication medium, on the second communication medium, and on the third communication medium, first transmitting circuitry configured to transmit the coded messages on the first communication medium, on the second communication medium, and on the third communication medium, and first processing circuitry configured to determine whether a first received coded message is received in a first time slot on at least one of the first communication medium and the second communication medium and, based on the determination, cause the first transmitting circuitry to retransmit the first received coded message on the first communication medium and on the second communication medium in a second time slot;
- and
- a second multi-media communication device comprising second receiving circuitry configured to receive the coded messages on the first communication medium, on the second communication medium, and on the third communication medium, second transmitting circuitry configured to transmit the coded messages on the first communication medium, on the second communication medium, and on the third communication medium, and second processing circuitry configured to determine whether the first received coded message is received in the first time slot on at least one of the first communication medium and the second communication medium and, based on the determination, cause the second transmitting circuitry to retransmit the first received coded message on the first communication medium and on the second communication medium in the second time slot.
