Device for image based services

A method for image based services, the method being performed by a device comprising a camera and a processor:

• wherein the camera comprises a first group of camera settings associated with detecting Visible Light Communication and a second group of camera settings not associated with detecting Visible Light Communication;
• wherein the method comprises the steps of:
• capturing an image with the camera by capturing a repetitive series of a set of frames, wherein said set of frames comprises a first subset of frames and a second subset of frames, wherein each subset comprises at least one frame;
• switching the camera periodically between the first group of camera settings and the second group of camera settings for capturing the image by capturing each first subset of frames of the repetitive series of the set of frames with the first group of camera settings and each second subset of frames of the repetitive series of the set of frames with the second group of camera settings;
• enabling image based services based on at least one frame of the first subset of frames and/or at least one frame of the second subset of frames;
• wherein said first subset of frames comprises a first number of frames and said second subset of frames comprises a second number of frames;
• wherein the method further comprises the step of:
• increasing or decreasing said first number of frames and/or said second number frames responsive to a characteristic detected in the image, wherein the characteristic in the image provides a cue for the device to increase or decrease said first number of frames and/or said second number frames.
