Abstract
The invention relates to a method for changing the identification code of a light source in a visible light communication system, which visible light communication system comprises the light source, a driver system to drive the light source, and a server that is not able to communicate directly with the driver system, and which method makes use of a first mobile device comprising an image sensor, a processing unit, a network adapter, and a transmitter, wherein the processing unit is configured to process an output of the image sensor, wherein the processing unit is configured to communicate with the server via the network adapter, and wherein the processing unit is configured to send signals to the driver system using the transmitter, said method comprising the following steps: a. receiving a signal from the server by the network adapter of the first mobile device, said signal comprising a command to change the identification code of the light source from a first ID code to a second ID code; and b. transmitting, by the transmitter of the first mobile device, a signal to the driver system, said signal comprising a command to change the identification code of the light source to a se…
