Abstract
An optical communication access point comprises: an optical communication channel for allowing wireless light communication with a remote device, and a memory for storing content, wherein the content in the memory is accessible by the remote device via the wireless light communication link.
Claims24
An optical communication system comprising:
- an optical access point device configured to provide access to content data, the optical access point device comprising:
- a transmitter and a receiver configured to respectively transmit and receive optical wireless communication signals over an optical wireless communication channel configured to provide optical wireless communication with a remote device;
- an accessible non-temporary storage memory configured to store the content data,
- wherein the content data stored in the accessible non-temporary storage memory is accessible by the remote device via an optical wireless communication channel;
- and
- a further optical access point device configured to provide access to further content data, the further optical access point device comprising:
- a further transmitter and a further receiver configured to respectively transmit and receive further optical wireless communication signals over a further optical wireless communication channel to provide further optical wireless communication with the remote device;
- and
- a further accessible non-temporary storage memory configured to store the further content data,
- wherein the optical access point device is configured to download the content data from the accessible non-temporary storage memory via the optical wireless communication channel to the remote device in response to receiving an access request from the remote device,
- wherein the further optical access point device is configured to upload the downloaded content data from the remote device, via the further optical wireless communication channel, and store the downloaded content data that was uploaded in the further accessible non-temporary storage memory, and
- wherein at least one of the optical access point device that comprises the accessible non-temporary storage memory or the further optical access point comprising the further accessible non-temporary storage memory is connected to one or more lighting fixtures.

A method of providing storage of data, the method comprising:
- providing, by an optical access point device, access to content data stored in an accessible non-temporary storage memory that is accessible by a remote device via an optical wireless communication channel;
- transmitting and/or receiving optical wireless communication signals over the optical wireless communication channel configured to provide optical wireless communication with a remote device;
- providing, by a further optical access point device, access to further content data stored in a further accessible non-temporary storage memory via a further optical wireless communication channel;
- and
- transmitting and/or receiving further optical wireless communication signals over the further optical wireless communication channel configured to provide further optical wireless communication with the remote device,
- wherein the optical access point device is configured to download the content data from the accessible non-temporary storage memory via the optical wireless communication channel to the remote device in response to receiving an access request from the remote device,
- wherein the further optical access point device is configured to upload the downloaded content data from the remote device, via the further optical wireless communication channel, and store the downloaded content data that was uploaded in the further accessible non-temporary storage memory, and
- wherein at least one of the optical access point device that comprises the accessible non-temporary storage memory or the further optical access point comprising the further accessible non-temporary storage memory is connected to one or more lighting fixtures.
