Abstract
A system and method are described for creation of a mosaic display system. A device is assigned an address which may be used to produce unique sequence of illumination which is based on a code determined by the address. A sequence of images of a number of devices may be used to determine a spatial location associated with a device address.
Claims20
A method for displaying information comprising:
- assigning an address to a display element at a pre-determined location;
- causing display elements to produce a temporal pattern of illumination;
- acquiring a sequence of images including illumination produced by two or more of the display elements;
- determining a scale factor for physical location of the display elements based on the sequence of images and the pre-determined location.
1 more element
A system comprising:
- display devices producing a temporal pattern of illumination;
- a display device located at a pre-determined location producing a pattern of illumination based on an address assigned to the display device;
- and
- a server receiving image sequences including illumination produced by two or more display elements, and determining a scale factor for a location of at least one of the display devices based on an image sequence and the pre-determined location.

The system of claim 12 further comprising:
- the display device initiating the pattern of illumination based on a start condition determined by an unsynchronized local clock reference of the display device.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing therein a program for causing a computer to execute an operation comprising:
- assigning an address to a display element and a set of physical coordinates;
- causing display elements to produce a temporal pattern of illumination;
- acquiring a sequence of images including illumination produced by a display of a mobile communication device as the display element among the display elements;
- determining a timing offset between an unsynchronized local clock reference of the mobile communication device and an unsynchronized local clock reference of at least one of the display elements based on the sequence of images.
