Abstract
A system device may determine a light pattern that represents encoded information associated with a virtual meeting. The system device may cause a light communications system to emit the light pattern. The light communications system may include a sensor and an emitter. The light pattern may configure a user device that detects the light pattern to perform an update associated with the virtual meeting. In some implementations, the light pattern may be constrained to a zone in a physical space. In some implementations, the system may use a facial recognition system to locate a person in the physical space when light from the light communications system is occluded.
Claims19
A method, comprising:
- determining a light pattern that represents encoded information associated with a virtual meeting;
- and
- causing a light communications system to emit the light pattern, wherein the light communications system includes a sensor and an emitter, and the light pattern configures a user device that detects the light pattern to perform an update associated with the virtual meeting;
- wherein the encoded information includes a vehicle identifier.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processor configured to execute instructions stored in the memory to:
- determine a light pattern that represents encoded information associated with a virtual meeting;
- and
- cause a light communications system to emit the light pattern wherein the light communications system includes a sensor and an emitter, and the light pattern configures a user device that detects the light pattern to perform an update associated with the virtual meeting a demodulator arrangement;
- wherein the encoded information includes a vehicle identifier.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions operable to cause one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- determining a light pattern that represents encoded information associated with a virtual meeting;
- causing a light communications system to emit the light pattern, wherein the light communications system includes a sensor and an emitter, and the light pattern configures a user device that detects the light pattern to perform an update associated with the virtual meeting;
- constraining the light pattern to a zone in a physical space;
- and
- using a pan-tilt-zoom camera to follow the user device from the zone to another zone in the physical space.
