Estimating the term…
A transmitter formed of two or more light-emitting sections such as LEDs, which are physically arranged in a predetermined manner, is disposed in the real world object, and each light-emitting section transmits data by flashing at a flashing pattern representing the transmission data of a predetermined bit length. A receiver, on the other hand, includes a photoreceiving section formed from a two-dimensional photoreceiving surface, decodes the transmission data on the basis of the photoreceived flashing pattern, and recognizes the spatial information of an object on the basis of the flashing position on the two-dimensional photoreceiving surface. Therefore, information, such as an ID, can be obtained from the object in the real world, and also, the spatial position of the object can be recognized at the same time.
A data communication system comprising:
A data transmission apparatus for use with a receiving apparatus comprising a photoreceiving section for photoreceiving an optical signal on a two-dimensional photoreceiving surface on the basis of a photoreceived position of the optical signal on said two-dimensional photoreceiving surface and from the two or more photoreceived optical signals, the data transmission apparatus comprising:
A data receiving apparatus comprising:
