Abstract
A remaining battery capacity measuring device within a control device of a mobile apparatus measures a remaining battery capacity level of a battery. The light-emission control device, in a period separate from a transmission period for transmitting an ID, in accordance with the remaining charge amount of the battery, performs changing of a hue of light emitted by an LED, and setting no-data and a no-data period. Alternatively, the light-emission control device, in the period separate from the transmission period for transmitting the ID, in reaction to the remaining battery capacity level of the battery, changes a luminosity of the light emitted by the LED.
Claims12
A transmitting device comprising:
- a light emitter;
- and
- a processor configured to
- transmit specific information by causing the light emitter to emit, at a first cyclic light-emission timing, light that is modulated using the specific information that is set in advance in the transmission device,
- acquire a state of the transmitting device that changes time-wise during transmission of the specific information, and
- control the light emitter to emit light, at a second light-emission timing different from a period of light emission at the first cyclic light-emission timing, corresponding to information of the acquired state of the transmitting device that changes time-wise.
A transmission method comprising:
- transmitting specific information by causing a light emitter to emit, at a first cyclic light-emission timing, light that is modulated using the specific information that is set in advance in a transmission device that comprises the light emitter;
- acquiring a state of the transmitting device that changes time-wise during transmission of the specific information;
- and
- controlling the light emitter to emit light, at a second light-emission timing different from a period of light emission at the first cyclic light-emission timing, corresponding to information of the acquired state of the transmitting device that changes time-wise.
A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium for recording a program for causing a computer included in a transmitting device to function as:
- transmission means for transmitting specific information by causing a light emitter included in the transmitting device to emit, at a first cyclic light-emission timing, light that is modulated using the specific information that is set in advance in the transmission device;
- acquisition means for acquiring a state of the transmitting device that changes time-wise during transmission of the specific information by the transmission means;
- and
- control means for controlling the light emitter to emit light, at a second light-emission timing different from a period of light emission at the first cyclic light-emission timing, corresponding to information of the state of the transmitting device that changes time-wise and is acquired by the acquisition means.
