    Abstract: A remaining battery capacity measuring device within a control device of a mobile apparatus measures a remaining battery capacity level of a battery. The light-emission control device, in a period separate from a transmission period for transmitting an ID, in accordance with the remaining charge amount of the battery, performs changing of a hue of light emitted by an LED, and setting no-data and a no-data period. Alternatively, the light-emission control device, in the period separate from the transmission period for transmitting the ID, in reaction to the remaining battery capacity level of the battery, changes a luminosity of the light emitted by the LED.

    Abstract: Markers 200-0˜200-3 emit light, according to control by as server 100, in accordance with a light emission pattern. On the other hand, a mobile device 300 distinguishes a reference signal and a numerical signal based on a mode of light emission of the markers 200-0˜200-3, and displays, upon receiving the numerical signal, a numerical value at a position of the marker 200 corresponding to the numerical signal in a frame, and displays, upon receiving the reference signal, ongoing reception of an ID at a position of the marker 200-0 corresponding to the reference signal in the frame. Furthermore, the mobile device 300 displays, at timing when all of the reference signals and the numerical signals are received, at a position of the marker 200-0 in the frame, a plurality of numerical values and units of the plurality of numerical values being integrated.

    Abstract: In a smartphone, the imaging mode of an imager or the display mode of a display is changed from a normal mode when an image of an optical communication region is captured. More specifically, a process of lowering the contrast of the entire image (frame), a process of superimposing an icon image on the candidate region, a masking process for lowering the contrast of the candidate region, a process of reducing the count of display frames by image averaging or thinning, or a zoom limiting process of limiting the upper limit of the zoom ratio of the imager or the upper limit of the enlarged display magnification on the display is performed.

    Abstract: An optical communication apparatus includes a light receiving unit, a wavelength band determining unit and an estimating unit. The light receiving unit receives light which changes to predetermined wavelength bands in a predetermined cycle according to communication object information, for a predetermined light reception period. The wavelength band determining unit determines each wavelength band of the light received by the light receiving unit. The estimating unit estimates that a wavelength band of the light received by the light receiving unit is any one of the predetermined wavelength bands, in a case where said wavelength band determined by the wavelength band determining unit is not any one of the predetermined wavelength bands.

    Abstract: A transmission-side information terminal displays a marker whose wavelength changes with time on the basis of a tag ID acquired from a management server. A receiving-side information terminal takes an image to acquire the tag ID, and transmits storage instruction information to a distribution server, the storage instruction information including the tag ID, an area number indicating a position of the receiving-side information terminal and image data acquired by taking an image. The image distribution server stores the tag ID, the area number and the image data in the storage instruction information in association with one another. The transmission-side information terminal transmits query information including the tag ID acquired from the management server and the area number indicating its own position to the image distribution server, thereby acquiring image data associated with the tag ID and the area number from the image distribution server.
