Abstract
An electronic device (1) is configured to use a sensor, e.g. a camera, to receive data from multiple light beacons (51, 54, 56) via visible light, the data enabling reproduction of content items associated with the light beacons, to select one content item, e.g. a content stream, from the content items associated with the light beacons (e.g. by selecting a content item associated with a selected light beacon (54)) based on one or more properties determined by the electronic device, and to reproduce, e.g. display, the selected content item.
Claims15
An electronic device, comprising:
- at least one sensor;
- an output interface;
- and
- at least one processor;
- configured:
- to use said at least one sensor, to receive data from a plurality of light beacons via visible light, said data enabling reproduction of content items associated with said plurality of light beacons,
- to select one content item from said content items associated with said plurality of light beacons based on one or more properties determined by said electronic device, wherein the one or more properties comprise a type of said electronic device;
- and
- to use said output interface to reproduce said selected content item.
A method of selecting a content item, comprising:
- receiving on an electronic device data from a plurality of light beacons via visible light, said data enabling reproduction of content items associated with said plurality of light beacons;
- selecting one content item from said content items associated with said plurality of light beacons based on one or more properties determined by said electronic device;
- and
- reproducing said selected content item on said electronic device;
- wherein selecting one content item from said content items associated with said plurality of light beacons based on one or more properties determined by said electronic device comprises selecting said one content item from said content items associated with said plurality of light beacons based on a type of said electronic device.
