  • Publication number: 20150115833
    Abstract: An illumination control method is disclosed. The illumination control method comprises the steps of: acquiring a list of control information items for satisfying light-emitting conditions for illumination generated by multiple light source elements in order to have a specific color and a specific light intensity; determining control information from the list so that the sum of each driving power source for the multiple light source elements is equal to or less than a predetermined value; and adjusting the driving power sources for the multiple light source elements on the basis of the determined control information, wherein the control information indicates the each driving power source for the plurality of light source elements, the light-emitting conditions include the light intensity for each of a plurality of wavelengths, and the number of light source elements is greater than the number of light-emitting conditions.

  • Patent number: 8948600
    Abstract: A transmission apparatus of a wireless light communication system using an illumination light source can maximize a rate of data transmission while maintaining a brightness adjusting function of the illumination light source. The transmission apparatus includes a dimming level input unit which receives a dimming level of the illumination light source as an input, a coder which codes original data and outputs the coded data, a dimming coder which checks the dimming level input to the dimming level input unit, generates a symbol-codeword table corresponding to the dimming level, and dimming-codes the data output from the coder, a line coder which converts the data diming-coded by the dimming coder into pulse signals.

  • Patent number: 8577388
    Abstract: Provided is a wireless position determining method and apparatus. The wireless position determining includes: a measuring unit that measures a propagation delay tap of a signal received from a transmitting end through a channel; and extractor that extracts delay spread information having various forms based on the propagation delay tap; and an obtaining and calculating unit that obtains a distance between transmission and reception ends based on the delay spread information and calculates a position of a receiving end based on the obtained distance between the transmission and reception ends.
