Abstract
A mobile system (1,11) comprises a camera (3) and at least one processor (5). The at least one processor is configured to capture an image with the camera, e.g. of a light beacon (15), to determine whether a certain object is recognized in the captured image, e.g. by querying a database (19), and to start detecting and/or decoding data being communicated via visible light in dependence on the certain object being recognized.
Claims15
A mobile system configured to detect data being communicated via visible light emitted by a light source, the mobile system comprising:
- a camera;

- capturing an image with a camera;
- determining whether a certain object is recognized in said captured image by querying a remote database;
- and
- starting detecting data being communicated via visible light emitted by a light source only after said certain object has been recognized.
