Abstract
A visual light communication system is disclosed.
Claims38
A system, comprising:
- a vacuum operable in fluid in a pool and configured to perform a mechanical action;
- a light sensor operable outside or when completely or partially submerged in the fluid of the pool, wherein the light sensor is configured to receive a light signal having encoded therein information concerning operation of the vacuum;
- and
- a control device electronically coupled to the light sensor, the control device having a processor and a memory unit including stored thereon instructions, which, when executed by the processor, converts the light signal into an electronic signal, which, in turn, is configured to cause at least a mechanical action of the vacuum in response to the information encoded in the electronic signal.
1 more element
A system, comprising:
- a first communication assembly having a housing with a light transmitter configured to emit a light signal having encoded therein information, a controller electronically coupled to the light transmitter, and a power source;
- a second communication assembly operable when in fluid of a pool, the second communication assembly having a light sensor configured to receive the light signal from the light transmitter, wherein the second communication assembly is operable outside or when completely or partially submerged in fluid of the pool;
- and
- a pool maintenance system having a processor in communication with the second communication assembly, the processor configured to respond to cause a mechanical action of the pool maintenance system in response to the information encoded in the light signal.

A system for a pool, comprising:
- a housing with a light transmitter configured to generate a light signal having encoded therein information;
- a pool vacuum operable in fluid in a pool;
- a light sensor operable when at least partially submerged in fluid of the pool, wherein the light sensor is configured to receive the light signal having encoded therein information;
- and
- a control device electronically coupled to the light sensor, the control device having a processor and a memory unit including stored thereon signal processing instructions, which, when executed by the processor, converts the light signal into an electronic signal, which, in turn, controls operation of the pool vacuum based upon the information encoded in the light signal.
2 more elements
A system, comprising:
- a first communication assembly having housing and a light transmitter configured to emit a light signal having encoded therein information, a controller electronically coupled to the light transmitter, and a power source, wherein the controller includes signal processing instructions for the light signal;
- a pool vacuum operable in fluid in a pool;
- a second communication assembly coupled to the pool vacuum and operable in the fluid of the pool, the second communication assembly having a light sensor configured to receive the light signal from the light transmitter, wherein the second communication assembly is operable when completely submerged in fluid of the pool;
- and
- a control device having a processor configured to cause a mechanical action of the pool vacuum in response to the information encoded in the light signal.
