Abstract
A storage unit stores first information on at least one of a machine tool and a peripheral device of the machine tool. A control unit includes a generation unit configured to generate a first light emitting pattern which is recognizable to human eyes and which includes a lighting-on state, a lighting-off state, or a lighting-on/off state of a light emitting element, a modulation unit configured to modulate the first information into a light communication signal based on lighting-on/off of the light emitting element unrecognizable to human eyes but recognizable to an electronic device, a superimposition unit configured to superimpose the light communication signal on the first light emitting pattern, thereby generating a second light emitting pattern including the light communication signal, and a light emitting element control unit configured to control the light emitting element on a basis of the second light emitting pattern generated by the superimposition unit.
