Device and method for geolocation in nearby environments

An identification and location method making it possible to remotely locate and identify predetermined areas, in particular belonging to a nearby environment, the method comprising the following steps of:

• arranging a plurality of light radiation emission sources, where each predetermined area comprises at least one of said light radiation emission sources, each light radiation emission source being connected to the electrical mains by a driving circuit and configured to emit modulated light radiation;
• modulating the light radiation under the action of the driving circuit, the light radiation being representative of a unique characteristic associated with the light radiation emission source which is capable of emitting the light radiation;
• emitting the light radiation towards a receiver device;
• receiving and processing by demodulation by the receiver device at least one light radiation emitted by the plurality of light radiation emission sources;
• and
• generating, for each received and processed light radiation, a location and identification information relating to the predetermined area in which is located the light radiation emission source which emitted the received and processed light radiation.
