  • Patent number: 9768958
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method and system of encryption, decryption, and encryption and decryption based on visible light communication. A transmit end performs a logical operation on an original data signal and a pseudocode signal varying with a unit interval to obtain a scrambling code signal, and sends the scrambling code signal in a form of a visible light signal. A receive end receives the visible light signal sent by the transmit end, and converts the visible light signal into a digital signal; and decodes the digital signal and a pseudocode signal varying with a unit interval, so as to obtain the original data signal. The visible light signal transmitted between the transmit end and the receive end is not original data, but a scrambling code signal varying with a unit interval, thereby improving security of the photonic Internet of Things.

  • Publication number: 20170180048
    Abstract: This application discloses a method for an optical drive chip to control a light-emitting device and an optical drive chip thereof. A receiving unit of the optical drive chip obtains to-be-sent data, and transmits the to-be-sent data to an execution unit of the optical drive chip; and the execution unit converts the to-be-sent data into a drive signal according to a control parameter set, where the drive signal is used to control a light-emitting device to emit visible light. Because the optical drive chip converts the to-be-sent data into the drive signal according to the control parameter set so as to control the light-emitting device, rather than obtaining a single control parameter one by one to control the light-emitting device, no delay problem occurs in a process of controlling the light-emitting device by the optical drive chip. In addition, the to-be-sent data is encoded, which ensures data transmission reliability.
