Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A visible light communication method is provided that includes obtaining a first ID indicating a default interpolation ID previously stored in a receiver. The method also includes obtaining a second ID, by the receiver, through visible light communication with a light source, and generating a third ID, by the receiver, by combining the first ID and the second ID. The method further includes obtaining, by the receiver, information from a server using the third ID, which is a combination of the first ID and the second ID.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1 . A visible light communication method, comprising: obtaining a first ID indicating a default interpolation ID previously stored in a receiver; obtaining a second ID, by the receiver, through visible light communication with a light source; generating a third ID, by the receiver, by combining the first ID and the second ID; and obtaining, by the receiver, information from a server using the third ID, which is a combination of the first ID and the second ID. 2 . The visible light communication method according to claim 1 , wherein, in the obtaining of the first ID, the first ID is obtained when a user attribute is not previously stored in the receiver. 3 . A visible light communication apparatus, comprising: a processor; and a memory having thereon a program, the program causes the processor to execute operations including: obtaining a first ID indicating a default interpolation ID previously stored in a receiver; obtaining a second ID, by the receiver, through visible light communication with a light source; generating a third ID, by the receiver, by combining the first ID and the second ID; and obtaining, by the receiver, information from a server using the third ID, which is a combination of the first ID and the second ID. 4 . A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing an information communication program for performing visible light communication, the visible light communication program causing a computer to execute: obtaining a first ID indicating a default interpolation ID previously stored in a receiver; obtaining a second ID, by the receiver, through visible light communication with a light source; generating a third ID, by the receiver, by combining the first ID and the second ID; and obtaining, by the receiver, information from a server using the third ID, which is a combination of the first ID and the second ID.
