Abstract
An apparatus, and computer program can recognize an IoT device. The apparatus, for example, may comprise at least one processor, and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to receive an indication of an identifier of another apparatus via wireless communication, retrieve an emission pattern, and display a representation of the emission pattern according to a time-synchronization signal, wherein the retrieved emission pattern and the received indication are associated with each other. Similar and related example apparatus and example computer programs are also provided.
Claims20
An apparatus, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code;
- the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to:
- generate an emission pattern for emitting, by the apparatus, at least one of audio or light in accordance with the emission pattern;
- and
- transmit an indication of an identifier of the apparatus via radio frequency wireless communication,
- wherein the emission pattern and the transmitted indication are associated with each other, and
- wherein the emission pattern is generated based on the identifier of the apparatus by using a pseudo-random algorithm.
A method, comprising:
- generating an emission pattern for emitting, by an apparatus, at least one of audio or light in accordance with the emission pattern;
- and
- transmitting an indication of an identifier of the apparatus via radio frequency wireless communication,
- wherein the emission pattern and the transmitted indication are associated with each other, and
- wherein the emission pattern is generated based on the identifier of the apparatus by using a pseudo-random algorithm.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer processor-executable program code stored thereon, which when executed by a processor causes an apparatus at least to perform:
- generating an emission pattern for emitting, by an apparatus, at least one of audio or light in accordance with the emission pattern;
- and
- transmitting an indication of an identifier of the apparatus via radio frequency wireless communication,
- wherein the emission pattern and the transmitted indication are associated with each other, and
- wherein the emission pattern is generated based on the identifier of the apparatus by using a pseudo-random algorithm.
