Abstract

An information processing program causes a computer to execute: encoding information to be transmitted, to determine a luminance change frequency; and outputting a signal of the determined luminance change frequency to cause a light emitter to change in luminance according to the determined luminance change frequency to transmit the information. In the encoding, each of a first frequency and a second frequency different from the first frequency is determined as the luminance change frequency. In the outputting, each of a signal of the first frequency and a signal of the second frequency is output as the signal of the determined luminance change frequency, to cause the light emitter to change in luminance according to the first frequency during a first time and change in luminance according to the second frequency during a second time different from the first time after the first time elapses.

Claims (29)

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

determining a plurality of luminance change frequencies of a light emitter by coding a plurality of transmission information sources, the light emitter transmitting the plurality of transmission information sources by a change in luminance according to each of the plurality of luminance change frequencies;

outputting a signal, which controls the change in luminance of the light emitter according to each of the plurality of luminance change frequencies, to the light emitter,

wherein, in the determining, the plurality of luminance change frequencies include a first frequency and a second frequency which is different from the first frequency,

in the outputting, a signal of the first frequency and a signal of the second frequency respectively causes the light emitter to change in luminance according to the first frequency during a first time period and to change in luminance according to the second frequency during a second time period after the first time period has elapsed, and the first time period is different from the second time period,

the first time period is a duration corresponding to one cycle of the first frequency, and

the second time period is a duration corresponding to one cycle of the second frequency.

2. The computer-implemented method according to claim 1 ,

wherein, in the outputting, the signal of the first frequency is repeatedly output, to make a total number of times the signal of the first frequency is output greater than a total number of times the signal of the second frequency is output.

3. The computer-implemented method according to claim 2 ,

wherein the first frequency is lower than the second frequency.

4. The information processing program according to claim 3 ,

wherein, in the outputting, the signal of the first frequency and the signal of the second frequency are output alternately.

5. An apparatus comprising:

a processor; and

a memory having a computer program stored thereon, the computer program causing the processor to execute operations including:

determining a plurality of luminance change frequencies of a light emitter by coding a plurality of transmission information sources, the light emitter transmitting the plurality of transmission information sources by a change in luminance according to each of the plurality of luminance change frequencies;

outputting a signal, which controls the change in luminance of the light emitter according to each of the plurality of luminance change frequencies, to the light emitter,

wherein, in the determining, the plurality of luminance change frequencies include a first frequency and a second frequency which is different from the first frequency,

in the outputting, a signal of the first frequency and a signal of the second frequency respectively causes the light emitter to change in luminance according to the first frequency during a first time period and to change in luminance according to the second frequency during a second time period after the first time period has elapsed, and the first time period is different from the second time period,

the first time period is a duration corresponding to one cycle of the first frequency, and

the second time period is a duration corresponding to one cycle of the second frequency.

6. A non-transitory recording medium having a computer-program stored thereon, the computer program causing a processor to execute operations comprising:

determining a plurality of luminance change frequencies of a light emitter by coding a plurality of transmission information sources, the light emitter transmitting the plurality of transmission information sources by a change in luminance according to each of the plurality of luminance change frequencies;

outputting a signal, which controls change in the luminance of the light emitter according to each of the plurality of luminance change frequencies, to the light emitter,

wherein, in the determining, the plurality of luminance change frequencies include a first frequency and a second frequency which is different from the first frequency,

in the outputting, a signal of the first frequency and a signal of the second frequency respectively causes the light emitter to change in luminance according to the first frequency during a first time period and to change in luminance according to the second frequency during a second time period after the first time period has elapsed, and the first time period is different from the second time period,

the first time period is a duration corresponding to one cycle of the first frequency, and

the second time period is a duration corresponding to one cycle of the second frequency.
