Abstract

A method for analyzing an environment of a mobile terminal by emission of unique identification data associated with at least one lighting device, by a light-based communication of the at least one lighting device, and determination of location coordinates of the mobile terminal in accordance with the identification data collected using an optical sensing unit of the mobile terminal with respect to the at least one lighting device, on the basis of the stored location coordinates of the at least one lighting device, each correlated with a respective installation position of the at least one lighting device, wherein provision of a respective sensor signal by at least one environmental signal sensor, extraction of environmental data from the respective sensor signal, and storage of the environmental data in accordance with the location coordinates of the mobile terminal, causing existing environmental data to be updated.
