Patent number: 11568697Abstract: A system includes a lighting module, a processing module, and photovoltaic units. Each of the photovoltaic units receives light reflected off a body portion which is illuminated by light from the lighting module, and converts light energy of the reflected light into electricity. The processing module stores modes each of which specifies a code set. When one of the modes is selected, the processing module activates the lighting module to emit light based on the code set specified by the mode thus selected. The processing module converts electrical quantities measured individually for the photovoltaic units into respective code parameters, and composes an identification code using the code parameters.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2020Date of Patent: January 31, 2023Assignee: SOUTHERN TAIWAN UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGYInventors: Ruei-Tang Chen, Fong-Lang Wu
