BS EN 62943 discusses the visible light beacon system for multimedia applications. BS EN 62943 aims at establishing a unified standard concerning the lower communication layer common to multimedia applications and does not deal with the upper communication layer which depends upon individual applications.
BS EN 62943 specifies a unidirectional visible light communication protocol using visible light, named "visible light beacon system for multimedia applications". Dimming is done by such methods as pulse width control or amplitude control, but the dimming is out of the scope of BS EN 62943.
Note: BS EN 62943 does not specify the type of receivers.
BS EN 62943 on visible light beacon system is useful for:
The visible light beacon transmitter can transmit information. The transmitted information is either arbitrary data or an ID code. The ID code system used is selectable, and various services are provided or enjoyed through ID resolution.
BS EN 62943 prescribes a communication method utilizing a unidirectional visible light beacon system for multimedia applications. A visible light beacon system for multimedia applications is a system for providing various applications exemplified.
BS EN 62943 aims at establishing a unified standard concerning lower communication layer common to various applications such as lighting, visible light signals, and home appliances to utilize it commonly. Therefore, matters concerning the upper communication layer which depends upon individual applications are left to each application standard.
