Selecting from content items associated with different light beacons

1. An electronic device, comprising:

at least one sensor comprising a camera;

an output interface; and

at least one processor configured:

to use said at least one sensor to receive data from a plurality of light beacons via visible light, said data enabling reproduction of content items associated with said plurality of light beacons,

to select one content item from said content items associated with said plurality of light beacons based on one or more properties determined by said electronic device by: selecting one light beacon from said plurality of light beacons based on properties of said plurality of light beacons determined from an image captured by said camera, and selecting a content item associated with said selected light beacon, wherein the one or more properties comprise a type of said electronic device; and

to use said output interface to reproduce said selected content item,

wherein said at least one processor is configured to determine said properties of said plurality of light beacons by determining at least one of distances of positions of said plurality of light beacons in said image to a center of said image, amounts of light pixels belonging to each of said plurality of light beacons, brightness of light pixels belonging to each of said plurality of light beacons, and color of light pixels belonging to each of said plurality of light beacons.

2. An electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said at least one processor is configured to detect an orientation of said electronic device and to select said one content item from said content items associated with said plurality of light beacons based on said detected orientation of said electronic device.

3. An electronic device as claimed in claim 2 , wherein said at least one processor is configured to detect a direction towards which said electronic device is pointing and to select said one content item from said content items associated with said plurality of light beacons based on said detected direction.

4. An electronic device as claimed in claim 2 , wherein said at least one processor is configured to detect a screen orientation of said electronic device and to select said one content item from said content items associated with said plurality of light beacons based on said detected screen orientation of said electronic device.

5. An electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said at least one processor is configured to select said one content item from said content items associated with said plurality of light beacons based on a battery level of said electronic device.

6. An electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said at least one processor is configured to select said one content item from said content items associated with said plurality of light beacons based on a user preference.

7. An electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said at least one processor is configured to select said one content item from said content items associated with said plurality of light beacons based on a current power saving mode of said electronic device.

8. A method of selecting a content item, comprising:

receiving on an electronic device comprising at least one sensor comprising a camera, data from a plurality of light beacons via visible light, data enabling reproduction of content items associated with said plurality of light beacons;

selecting one content item from said content items associated with said plurality of light beacons based on one or more properties determined by said electronic device by: selecting one light beacon from said plurality of light beacons based on properties of said plurality of light beacons determined from an image captured by said camera, and selecting a content item associated with said selected light beacon; and

reproducing said selected content item on said electronic device;

wherein selecting one content item from said content items associated with said plurality of light beacons based on one or more properties determined by said electronic device comprises selecting said one content item from said content items associated with said plurality of light beacons based on a type of said electronic device, and

wherein said properties of said plurality of light beacons are determined by determining at least one of distances of positions of said plurality of light beacons in said image to a center of said image, amounts of light pixels belonging to each of said plurality of light beacons, brightness of light pixels belonging to each of said plurality of light beacons, and color of light pixels belonging to each of said plurality of light beacons.

9. A method as claimed in claim 8 , wherein selecting one content item from said content items associated with said plurality of light beacons based on one or more properties determined by said electronic device comprises detecting an orientation of said electronic device and selecting said one content item from said content items associated with said plurality of light beacons based on said detected orientation of said electronic device.

10. A method as claimed in claim 8 , wherein selecting one content item from said content items associated with said plurality of light beacons based on one or more properties determined by said electronic device comprises selecting said one content item from said content items associated with said plurality of light beacons based on at least one of a battery level and a current power saving mode of said electronic device.

11. A method as claimed in claim 8 , wherein selecting one content item from said content items associated with said plurality of light beacons based on one or more properties determined by said electronic device comprises selecting said one content item from said content items associated with said plurality of light beacons based on a user preference.

12. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer code, the computer code, when executed on one or more processors performs the method of claim 8 .
