Systems and apparatus for the light-based communication of service orders and personal objects identification

A light-based system for communicating service orders comprising:

• a personal mobile electronic communication device transmitting a first signal for indicating a location and a second signal corresponding to a service order;
• a processor approximately ascertaining the location of the personal mobile electronic communication device;
• a communication network receiving the first signal and the second signal from the personal mobile electronic communication device and, in response to the first signal and the second signal, transmitting an illumination command;
• and
• a lighting controller receiving the illumination command from the communication network and, in response to the illumination command, controlling an illumination proximate to the personal mobile electronic communication device by at least one individually-controllable luminaire of a plurality of luminaires in a lighting network such that the illumination proximate to the personal mobile electronic communication device visually indicates the service order, said lighting controller making the illumination proximate to the personal mobile electronic communication device visible through a pair of electronically shuttered spectacles, wherein the pair of electronically shuttered spectacles comprise blocked time slices and light pulses introduced into the blocked time slices.

A light-based system for communicating service orders comprising:

• a personal mobile electronic communication device transmitting a first signal for indicating a location and a second signal corresponding to a service order made from said personal mobile electronic communication device;
• a processor approximately ascertaining the location of the personal mobile electronic communication device;
• a communication network receiving the first signal and the second signal from the personal mobile electronic communication device and, in response to the first signal and the second signal, transmitting an illumination command;
• and
• a lighting controller receiving the illumination command from the communication network and, in response to the illumination command, controlling an illumination of an area proximate to the personal mobile electronic communication device by at least one individually-controllable luminaire of a plurality of luminaires, which are distinct from the personal mobile electronic device, in a lighting network such that the illumination proximate to the personal mobile electronic communication device visually indicates the service order, the lighting controller tracking a movement of said personal mobile device by periodically receiving from said communication network an illumination command corresponding to a current location of the personal mobile electronic device and to the service order.
