COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, TERMINAL, CONTROL METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18538453 titled 'COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, TERMINAL, CONTROL METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The communication system described in the patent application involves cameras, a server, and transmission devices that transmit visible light communication signals related to accessing stored image data.

  • Cameras capture images and generate image data.
  • Server stores image data from cameras.
  • Transmission devices correspond to cameras and transmit visible light communication signals with access information for the stored image data.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in various fields such as security systems, remote monitoring, and data transmission in areas with high electromagnetic interference.

Problems Solved

This system provides a secure and reliable way to transmit information related to accessing stored image data, reducing the risk of data interception or interference.

Benefits

- Enhanced security through visible light communication signals - Efficient data transmission and access to stored image data - Reduced electromagnetic interference compared to traditional communication methods

Potential Commercial Applications

"Visible Light Communication for Secure Data Transmission and Access" could be used in industries such as surveillance, smart homes, and industrial automation for secure and reliable data transmission.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of infrared communication for data transmission in remote controls and some communication systems. However, visible light communication for accessing stored image data in a server is a novel application of this technology.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology handle data transmission in low light conditions?

The patent application does not specify how the system ensures reliable data transmission when light conditions are suboptimal. This could be a potential limitation of the technology in certain environments.

What is the range of the visible light communication signals transmitted by the devices?

The patent application does not mention the range of the visible light communication signals, which could impact the practical applications of this technology in terms of distance and coverage.


Original Abstract Submitted

A communication system includes: a plurality of cameras that generate image data by capturing images; a server that stores the image data generated by each of the plurality of cameras; and a plurality of transmission devices in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of cameras. Each of the plurality of transmission devices transmits light including, as a visible light communication signal, information related to communication for accessing a storage location at which the image data generated by a corresponding one of the plurality of cameras is stored in the server.
