    Abstract: An information communication method selects between a visible light communication mode, in which information is obtained from a subject using an image sensor having a plurality of exposure lines, and a normal imaging mode. The information communication method includes obtaining first image data by image capture with a first exposure time in the normal imaging mode and obtaining second image data by image capture with a second exposure time, shorter than the first exposure time, in the visible light communication mode. When the second image data is obtained by capturing a plurality of subjects reflected on a reflection surface, the information is obtained by separating a bright line corresponding to each subject from bright lines included in the second image data according to a strength of the bright line and demodulating, for each subject, the data specified by the pattern of the bright line.

    Abstract translation: 信息通信方法在使用具有多个曝光线的图像传感器的被摄体获得信息的可见光通信模式和正常成像模式之间进行选择。 信息通信方法包括通过在正常成像模式中的第一曝光时间的图像捕获获得第一图像数据,并且通过在可见光通信模式中以比第一曝光时间短的第二曝光时间通过图像捕获获得第二图像数据。 当通过拍摄在反射面上反射的多个被摄体获得第二图像数据时,通过根据亮线的强度将与每个被摄体相对应的亮线与包括在第二图像数据中的亮线分离, 针对每个被摄体解调由亮线图案指定的数据。

    Abstract: A display method is provided that includes displaying an image included in a video signal on a per frame basis, and representing a tone level of luminance of the image by controlling a light emission period in a frame. The method also includes specifying a light emission period in which light emission is performed for greater than or equal to a time required for transmitting a visible light communication signal, and transmitting the visible light communication signal by superimposing the visible light communication signal onto a portion of the video signal corresponding to the specified light emission period. The method further includes in a case where the specified light emission period is greater than or equal to a time required for transmitting the visible light communication signal, the visible light communication signal is transmitted by luminance changing of the light source in the specified light emission period.
