Abstract: Various embodiments are directed to techniques for employing a camera to receive multiple light transmissions conveying at least identifying data from multiple body-carried devices to enable locations of those devices within a venue to be determined and transmissions to individual ones of those devices to be made. An apparatus to communicate via light transmissions includes an analysis component to analyze a set of consecutively captured frames of a portion of a venue to determine whether a light source present in at least a predetermined number of the consecutively captured frames is a light transmission from a body-carried device located within the portion of the venue, and to demodulate the light transmission to retrieve an identification (ID) data associated with the body-carried device from the light transmission; and a communications component to employ the ID data to wirelessly transmit a command to the body-carried device. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
