Smart device performing led-id/rf communication through a camera, and system and method for providing location-based services using the same

Abstract

The present invention provides a smart device which can receive, by an image sensor of a camera, a visible light signal generated by a light-emitting source such as a lighting apparatus or a display, and which can transmit the visible light signal to another terminal and light-emitting source by an LED flash of the camera, thereby enabling transmission and reception of visible light communication by the camera, which is equipped as standard in the smart device, as well as enabling transmission and relay of data by connecting to RF communication such as WiFi, Bluetooth and UWB. Moreover, the present invention provides a system and a method for providing location-based services which measure an approximate current location of a user by an RF communication access point and measure the current location of the user in detail by receiving a visible light signal, which includes location information, from the light-emitting source, and thus can perform a high-precision indoor location recognition function linking visible light communication and RF communication and can provide guide image information, which comprises various additional information, on the basis of the location information of the user.
